Cornelius in Hero Wars

Cornelius is a mage hero part of the Way of Honor faction in Hero Wars Alliance. He is best known for his monolith ability to kill an enemy hero with intelligence stat with one hit. Cornelius is also great at decreasing the magic attack of the enemy team.

Pros

Massive one-hit damage that destroys mages
Increases magic defense for the whole team
Decreases the magic attack of the hero with the highest such stat

Cons

He needs an armor penetration boost for the best monolith performance

“

After the dark mages raided the university, scholar Cornelius Witt was believed to be dead. In fact, he was held captive by the enemy for about two years. The mages' spell tortures not only failed to break him down, but also helped him discover a new ability, the suppression of magic. He used it to escape and joined the ranks of Guardians.

How to counter Cornelius in Hero Wars Alliance?

Sebastian

Sebastian's shield will block Cornelius' Memory Loss skill, which will try to curse a random enemy at the beginning of the battle.

Jorgen

Jorgen can block Cornelius' ability to gain energy and stop him from using his monolith.

Jhu

Jhu targets the back line where Cornelius is positioned. This makes Cornelius an easy target to die early in the game.

K'arkh

Fafnir

Fafnir can be used to make sure K'arkh stays alive. Be sure that K'arkh is the only hero with agility stat so Fafnir's runic shield will target K'arkh.

K'arkh also gains additional energy with its shield on each attack, so he will reload energy faster.

Both heroes are not Cornelius' targets because their main stat is not intelligence.
