Iris - Hero Wars Mobile

Iris hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Mobile.

Iris is a mage hero in the Way of Eternity faction that needs many buffs and debuffs to reach her maximum effect. Even if he has only one skill that can do damage, Inner Fire, this might be enough to beat many teams. For example, each time a debuff is activated for the enemy team, this skill is activated, causing damage over time.

How does this team work?

Iris needs many buffs and debuffs to reveal its full potential. Combining her with heroes that have such and picking these from her faction, Way of Eternity, makes her highly effective.

  • Corvus's ultimate, Strike of the Damned, is a debuff. The magic defense decrease can reach up to 15k with Iris and the other Way of Eternity heroes in the team. His 2nd skill, Unity of the Damned, is also a buff and significantly increasesIris's magic attack.
  • Morrigan's 2nd skill, Bone Armor, summons skeletons and increases the defense for all Eternity heroes. It is also counted as a buff adding Pure Charges to Iris.
  • Phobos's 1st skill, Paralysis, and his 2nd skill, Dreaded Shadow, are also debuffs. His magic defense reduction combines well with Iris' 2nd skill, Otherworldly Creature (Bitey).
  • Faceless - along with his 3rd skill, Chain Lighting, which is a debuff, he also provides magic penetration with his ultimate and magic defense to the whole team with his 4th skill, Spell Expert.

Best Iris Counters

Lian
Lian
Lian's 4th skill, Conciliation, is triggered by Iris's attacks. She charms Iris for almost the whole fight with each attack performed and slows her down, so she's not being able to benefit from the team buffs and debuffs.
Aurora
Aurora
Aurora absorbs most of the magic damage (80%, max) with her 4th skill, Rainbow Halo, and damages nearby enemies when the shield explodes.
Amira
Amira
Amira blocks magic damage under 62141 (max) with her 3rd skill, Genie's Patronage. This means Iris will not be able to do damage over time with her 4th skill, Inner fire. Amira's artifact weapon also has an additional magic defense buff for her team. 
Julius
Julius
Julios casts a shield that absorbs any damage with his 1st skill, Meowsterpiece of Defense. When the shield is destroyed, he also removes all debuffs with his 3rd skill, Nine-Lives Engine. In addition, the same skill also provides magic defense and armor for his teammates.
Other heroes that can be considered suitable counters due to their shields or decreasing magic attacks skills are:
  • Alvanor helps all alias take decreased damage from basic attacks with his 4th skill, Rune of Earth.
  • Judge can cast a shield that can absorb all damage with his 2nd skill, Force Field.
  • Dante's 4th skill, Shackles of Weakness, can decreaseIris's main stat for 7 seconds.
  • Lilith can decrease the magic defense of central team enemies for 8 seconds with her 3rd skill, Fire Breath.
