Orion in Hero Wars

Orion is a mage hero in Hero Wars Dominion Era. He is well-known for his huge AoE damage that increases over time during a battle. The more attacks he performs, the more energy he gains, creating a loop of AoE damage attacks and energy gains both in the front and back lines.

Orion is considered a great pick in teams with Dorian and Helios. Dorian can provide Orion vampirism, which will heal Orion with each attack while Helios can provide armor for the whole team making Orion last even longer in the game.

Pros

Provides magic penetration to the whole team
Fast energy gains and great AoE damage
Easy to upgrade to an absolute star

Cons

Needs to be combined with other heroes like Dorian and Helios to survive long enough to show its potential

“

He is the real mystery of the world of the Dominion. Nobody knows which galaxy he came from or what he is doing in these lands. Some people see him as great danger, a messenger from hell, others praise him as their savior. But what are the true motives of this great warrior from a distant planet?

How to counter Orion in Hero Wars Dominion Era?

Satori

Satori will apply Fox Fire marks each time Orion gains extra energy with his "Full Charge" skill. Once activated, Satori's marks can destroy Orion.

Rufus

Rufus absorbs all magical damage with his 1st skill, Rakashi's Barrier, to block Orion's front-line damage.

Cornelius

Cornelius attacks the heroes with the highest intelligence with his 1st skill (Heavy Wisdom). If leveled up properly, it can kill Orion with one hit.

Lian

Lian can charm Orion whenever he deals AoE damage to the team, including her. This will slow him down to perform its AoE damage.

Corvus

Corvus' Altar of Souls will strike back at Orion whenever he deals damage to enemy heroes. Considering Orion's AoE damage, the alter will counter him if there is not a proper healer in his team.

Jorgen

Jorgen can steal Orion's energy and also prevent him from gaining energy. Considering Orion's strengths are around energy gains and speed, Jorgen can be serious trouble for him.

Orion Pet Priority

While Merlin can boost Orion's magic output, recent changes have made Orion's skills faster, reducing Merlin's necessity for skill acceleration. However, he can still enhance overall magic damage when paired with Orion.

Mara is particularly effective as she extends the duration of control effects, which complements Orion's ability to stun and slow enemies. This synergy allows for prolonged crowd control, making it easier for Orion to unleash his high AoE damage without interruption.

Axel provides crucial defense by preventing single attacks from dealing with more than 45% of Orion's health. This protection is vital for maintaining Orion's presence in battles, allowing him to continue dealing with damage without being easily eliminated.

Biscuit is useful in scenarios like the Clash of Worlds City Hall, where reducing enemy healing can turn the tide of battle. His ability to cripple enemy healers pairs well with Orion’s offensive capabilities, ensuring that enemies remain vulnerable.

Khorus provides a protective shield that absorbs a portion of damage and blocks control effects. This allows Orion to focus on dealing with damage without the threat of being incapacitated by enemy abilities.
