Tristan - Hero Wars Alliance

Tristan hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Alliance.
Tristan is a warrior hero in Hero Wars Alliance who can decrease the physical attack of the enemy heroes and increase the armor penetration of his allies. Even if he's positioned at the front line, he is not very tanky, so he needs protection from other heroes.
He accumulates additional energy as well from attacks and suffering damage. He is an excellent addition to physical attack teams due to his artifact weapon, which adds an armor penetration buff. 
Tristan also targets the hero with the highest magic penetration, which makes him an excellent counter to Satori.

Tristan is also well-known for its meta team, F.A.R.T., including ArtemisFafnirTristan, and a combination of one or two tanks.

Pros
  • Accumulates energy very quickly
  • Great teammate for Way of Honor heroes
Cons
  • Vulnerable to Satori due to his enormous energy gains
  • His second skill increases the physical attack of heroes infant of him, which are usually tanks
A veteran warrior and skilled leader, Tristan was tasked by the Emperor of the Dominion with assembling a squad against demon.s Armed with the most powerful weapon from the palace armory, the Blessed One set out to accomplish his great mission.

Best Tristan Teams

Galahad
Galahad

Galahad and Tristan are a great combo because of their positioningand energy gains. Tristan stands behind Galahad, which allows him to gain energy from Galahad with his 4th skill, Blessed Vanguard, while being protected by a tank simultaneously. 

 

Tristan's 3rd skill, Judge of Sorceres, is triggered more than once if Galahad is in the team (as part of the Way of Honor faction).

Luther
Luther
Luther is a Tank / Control hero, and his positioning is crucial to be a good combo hero with Tristan. He is standing before Tristan and Galahad, which allows Tristan to trigger his 3rd skill, Judge of Sorcerers, again. He also receives an additional physical attack bonus from Tristan's 2nd skill, Righteous Zeal.
Artemis
Artemis

Artemis is a high-damage marksman who relies heavily on critical hits and has skills that target multiple enemies, making her a natural pairing with Tristan. Tristan boosts the team’s armor penetration, allowing Artemis’s attacks to penetrate defenses more easily. This combination lets Artemis consistently land critical hits and tear through both frontline tanks and backline enemies.

Fafnir
Fafnir

Fafnir is a support hero who specializes in boosting physical attackers and providing them with defensive buffs. He provides a shield to the primary damage dealer, which often ends up being Tristan or Artemis in this setup. Fafnir further increases the physical attack and critical damage of the shielded hero, making both Tristan and Artemis hit significantly harder. With Fafnir’s shield, Tristan is also protected, allowing him to stay active and continuously support the team.

Helios
Helios
Helios can greatly support Tristan as part of the Way of Honor faction. Helios's 2nd skill, Solar Wind, can do 50% more damage for each allied Honor hero. Combined with heroes like Galahad and Luther, that is part of the same faction, this damage can increase multiple times.

How to counter Tristan in Hero Wars Alliance?

Tristan is a great counter to damage dealers at the second position, sitting right behind a tank. If you want to counter Tristan, consider using two tanks.
Satori
Satori
Just as Tristan can counter Satori, the reverse applies in full force. Tristan gains a lot of energy, making it a perfect target for Satori (as soon as Satori stays alive). So make sure that Satori is not in a second position which makes him very vulnerable and easy to die before he activates his buffs.
Jorgen
Jorgen

Even if Jorgen is not considered a hard counter, he can stop Tristan's energy gains.

Dante
Dante

Dante can push back and decrease Tristan's primary stat by 7.0 seconds due to Tristan's positioning in the front line.
