Markus in Hero Wars

Markus is a healer hero part of the Way of Honor faction in Hero Wars Alliance. He can shield the ally with the lowest health and block any damage. His skills are still active even after he dies because he becomes a ghost.

Markus is considered a classic backline support hero due to his primary focus on healing and sustaining his team through heavy encounters. His role on the battlefield is to provide consistent healing, protect vulnerable allies, and ensure his team remains resilient during prolonged fights.

Markus performs best when paired with tanks or damage-dealing allies who can exploit his healing abilities and shield effects. While Markus has some offensive capabilities, his primary focus is on supporting his team, making him essential for players who value strong healing and team endurance.

Markus is often used as a second-position tank due to his low health.

Pros

Most of his skills are related to healing
Skills are active even after his death
Heals the whole team
Healing is constant and not periodic

Cons

Should not be used as the only healer on the team

“

A healer of the Order who miraculously survived a demonic raid on his monastery. A divine power, granted from above, helped him defeat his enemies and cure his mortally wounded allies. Ever since Markus has been travelling the world, granting people life.

How to counter Markus in Hero Wars Alliance?

Celeste

Almost all of Markus' skills are related to healing, so Celeste's ability to convert healing into damage is crucial.

Oya

Oya can counter the heroes that Markus protects with his shield. Shielded enemies take 100% more damage from any of Oya's skills.

Heidi

Heidi can apply toxins to the opponent whenever they hit or are absorbed by a shield. Marku's shield, which absorbs damage, makes him Heidi's target.

Chabba

Being used as a second tank, Markus can become vulnerable if Chabba swallows the main tank and make Markus vulnerable to front-line attacks.
