Kai - Hero Wars Alliance

Kai hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Alliance.
Kai is a mage hero part of the Way of Nature faction in Hero Wars Alliance. He has excellent vampirism and targets the enemy's front line.
Kai specializes in area-of-effect (AoE) damage, dealing powerful blows that launch enemies into the air and leave them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Kai pairs well with Faceless and K'arkh due to his throwing enemies into air ability. Leveling him to an absolute start is relatively easy in the early game stages.
Pros
  • High vampirism stat
  • He throws in the air and deals damage to all enemy heroes with his Fetters of the Wind skill
  • Good combo with K'arkh
Cons
  • Low defense stats
  • He needs to level up to see his potential
There's nothing in the world but magic, and Kai is a true magical genius. Rejected by his own race, the mage left his home. Everybody who thinks Kai prides himself too much is just jealous!

Best Kai Teams

  • K'arkh: Kai's ability to launch enemies into the air complements K'arkh's skills, as K'arkh deals increased damage to airborne enemies. This combination allows for devastating attacks that can quickly decimate enemy teams. 
  • Orion's high magic damage output is further amplified when paired with Kai, as both heroes can unleash powerful AoE attacks, overwhelming opponents with sustained magical assaults. 
  • Mushy and Shroom: Kai's healing capabilities synergize well with Mushy and Shroom, enhancing the team's overall sustainability and damage output. This combination creates a resilient team capable of enduring prolonged battles. 
  • Lian's control effects, when combined with Kai's crowd control abilities, can effectively disrupt enemy formations, allowing the team to capitalize on the chaos and secure victories. 
  • Phobos's control effects complement Kai's abilities, creating a team composition that excels in controlling the battlefield and neutralizing threats before they can act.

Rufus can absorb vast amounts of magical damage and be a good counter to Kai as a mage.
Celeste

Celeste can convert Kai's vampirism and healing into magical damage.
Lian

Phobos
