Astaroth Glyph Priority

Prioritizing the Armor, Magic Defence, and Health glyphs will make Astaroth a strong, durable tank that can absorb large amounts of damage and protect the team. Magic Defense is useful in battles against magic-heavy teams, while Strength will further boost his health and survivability. Magic Attack can be upgraded last, as it plays a minor role in Astaroth's performance.

Best Astaroth Teams

Astaroth excels in protecting fragile, high-damage heroes and providing team-wide survivability. He pairs best with:
  • High burst damage dealers like K'arkh, Keira, and Orion who need protection to reach their full potential.
  • Support heroes like Jorgen and Martha who can extend the duration of fights and maximize Astaroth’s protective abilities.
  • Mages like Helios and Celeste, who rely on staying alive to deal continuous damage or provide healing.

Astaroth acts as the core defensive anchor in all these teams, ensuring the team stays alive long enough to unleash their full potential.

Best Astaroth Hydra Teams

Astaroth is an excellent tank and support hero for battling the Hydra in Hero Wars, thanks to his shielding, energy generation, and resurrection abilities. The Hydra fights are challenging, as each Hydra head has unique skills that can deal massive damage to your team.

General Tips for Hydra Teams with Astaroth:

  • Survivability is key: Hydra battles tend to be longer, so Astaroth’s shields and resurrection are invaluable to prevent your key damage dealers from dying early.
  • Mix physical and magic damage: Depending on the Hydra head, adjust your team to have both physical and magic damage dealers to maximize your effectiveness. Astaroth works well with both damage types.
  • Debuff protection: Hydra heads often apply debuffs or status effects like stuns, silences, and poisons. Heroes like Sebastian who can cleanse or prevent these effects work well with Astaroth’s shielding and energy generation.
Astaroth’s role is to protect key damage dealers and provide sustainability to survive long battles. Here are some strong team compositions featuring Astaroth against different Hydra heads.
