Rufus - Hero Wars Mobile

Rufus hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Mobile.
Rufus is a tank hero in Hero Wars Mobile who can absorb all magic damage with his shield and restore his health by devouring magic.
He has a demon named Rakashi trapped in his shield, who became his friend after Rufus won a drinking bet with him. Rufus is good against teams that rely on magic damage and can only be killed by physical damage. You can get Rufus by spending Grand Arena coins in the Grand Arena shop.
Pros
  • Protects the whole team with a shield that absorbs massive amounts of magic damage
  • Can regenerate health when receiving magic damage
  • An excellent tank that is designed to fight against magic teams
Cons
  • Often loses against physical packs
  • A situational hero that can’t be used in every battle, only against mages
Who could've imagined that Rufus, that merry drunkard, would become one of the revered Guardians? He made a bet with Rakashi the demon, put his soul at stake, and chose a reliable method to win, by drinking his opponent down! Rufus won the bet, and the demon, confined within his shield, became his faithful friend and protector.
