Fafnir - Hero Wars Mobile

Fafnir hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Mobile.
Fafnir is a support/tank hero in Hero Wars Mobile, 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.
Try using only one Agility hero, ideally a damage dealer like K'arkh or Keira, with Fafnir so he can favor it. Otherwise, you risk wasting Fafnir's abilities on a support agility hero like Sebastian, Nebula, or Isaac.
Fafnir can also replace healers like Martha on the back line due to his protecting abilities.
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.

Best Fafnir Counters

Peppy
Peppy
Cleaver
Cleaver
As part of the F.A.R.T. meta team counter, this combination effectively counters Fafnir. Cleaver can use his rusty hook to pull Fafnir at the front so Peppy's Boldness skill can slowly eliminate him.
Amira
Amira

Amira can deplete Fafnir's energy with her 3rd skill, Endurance Test, because his maximum health (543287) is below 569128 (when maxed out) and he has Strenght as a primary stat.

Jhu
Jhu
Jorgen
Jorgen
Martha
Martha

Fafnir is a back-line hero so he can be countered by heroes targeting this position, like Jhu or Jorgen.

 

Martha can also act tanky and also speed up Jhu in his attacks at the same time.
