Helios is a support hero part of the Way of Honor faction in Hero Wars Alliance. He is highly efficient against critical hit teams and can be used in offense and defense. He is often used in combination with Orion and Dorian.
Helios is an excellent counter to the heroes supported by Jet and Sebastian due to the critical hit chance they provide.

  • Absorbs physical attack damage
  • Provides armor to the whole team
Cons
  • Hard to get to absolute star
  • Not effective against mages

Helios is a star-child. An orphan who tried to catch a fallen star and found his destiny. The cosmic wonder's powerful energy changed the boy forever. Now the stars serve the herald of the Sun, and the celestial rays are his loyal pets.

Helios is rarely used in Hydra battles and there is no meta team with this hero so far that can counter any Hydra. There are still teams that can do some damage.

How to counter Helios in Hero Wars Alliance?

Rufus
Rufus

Rufus absorbs all magical damage with his 1st skill, Rakashi's Barrier, to block Helios' exploding spheres.

Cleaver
Cleaver

Cleaver can pull Helios to the front line with his Rusky Hook, making him vulnerable to front-line attacks.

Jorgen
Jorgen

Jorgen can redirect all the damage to the furthest enemy with his 3rd skill, "Leper." If Helios is positioned at the furthest position he will be destroyed easily.

Corvus
Corvus

Corvus' altar can be effective against Helios due to the AoE she performs on the enemy team.

Phobos
Phobos
Considering Helios is one of the heroes with the highest magic attack stat in his top Offense and Defense teams, he will become Phobo's number-one target.
Cornelius
Cornelius
Cornelius will target Helios because he is one of the support heroes with the highest intelligence in the game.
Aurora
Aurora

Aurora can absorb most of the magic damage (80%, max) with her 4th skill, Rainbow Halo, and damages nearby enemies when the shield explodes.
