Fafnir - Hero Wars Alliance
Fafnir hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Alliance.
Fafnir is a support hero in Hero Wars Alliance, part of the Way of Honor faction. He is a great addition to physical attack teams due to his 2nd skill (Runic Shield) and his 3rd skill (Runic Blade).
Fafnir favors heroes with Agility as a primary stat, usually damage dealer heroes, to activate his runic shield and later apply the runic blade. The runic shield protects the attacking hero, and the runic blade increases the hero's physical attack.
Fafnir can also replace healers like Martha on the back line due to his protecting abilities.
Fafnir is also well-known for its meta team, F.A.R.T., including Artemis, Fafnir, Tristan, and a combination of one or two tanks.
“
The legendary smith, Fafnir, has never shared the aggressive nature of his bloodthirsty kinsmen - and thus, has always been treated as an outcast. After meeting the heroes of the Dominion, he gladly joined the Way of Honor alongside the other Guardians.
