Ishmael in Hero Wars
Ishmael is a warrior hero in Hero Wars: Dominion Era, known for his high burst potential and critical hits. As a melee assassin, Ishmael quickly eliminates enemies, especially when supported by heroes who can enhance his critical hit rate and survivability.
One of Ishmael’s unique strengths is his ability to heal through vampirism, which helps him maintain his presence in fights and stay alive longer. His ability to restore health as he deals damage makes him a formidable opponent in both PvP and PvE encounters, as he can often outlast enemies by healing through their attacks.
Pros
- High vampirism stat
- Stun & dodge ability
- Suitable for different game modes
- Available in the early game
Cons
- Highly vulnerable to Helios
- Not popular in end-game teams
“
How does it feel to kill a parent who wanted to sacrifice their own child to evil gods? Ishmael experienced this first-hand. Defeating his father wasn’t easy: the sorcerer’s dark soul remained with his son. Since then Ishmael has been leading a double life, fighting the inner demon.

How to counter Ishmael in Hero Wars Dominion Era?
Helios

Helios can destroy Ishmael with his spheres exploding at the front line. He also has an armor artifact for the whole team, decreasing Ishmael's effect on the front line.
Celeste

Celeste can convert Ishmael's healing attempts through vampirism into magic damage with her 3rd skill, Limbo.
Astrid and Lucas

Astrid and Lucas can be suitable choices for countering Ishmael. By transforming Lucas into his rage form and moving it to the front line, you have better chances that Ishmael will strike the pet instead of other heroes.
Dante

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

Ziri can absorb huge amounts of physical attack damage on the front line, which makes her a perfect counter to Ishmael.
Other heroes considered Ishmael counters:
Amira

Heidi

Fox

Aurora

Polaris

Arachne

Alvanor

Ishmael Pet Priority
Fenris, as a patron pet, amplifies Ishmael's damage output through his ability to inflict blindness on enemies, which not only increases Ishmael’s chances of landing critical hits but also helps to exhaust enemy shields, particularly useful against opponents like Sebastian.
Oliver provides crucial healing support, allowing Ishmael to sustain his aggressive playstyle while maintaining high health levels due to his vampirism ability. This combination enables Ishmael to remain on the front lines longer, dealing damage while recovering health from his attacks.
Mara contributes by enhancing crowd control capabilities; her ability to stun enemies can disrupt enemy formations and protect Ishmael during critical moments in battle.
