Somna - Hero Wars Dominion Era

Somna hero guide, glyphs, artifacts, skins, best teams, and best counters in Hero Wars Dominion Era.

Somna is a back-line Agility hero in Hero Wars Dominion Era whose job is crowd control. Her role is to slow the battle down for the enemy: her ultimate, Lullaby Veil, puts the opposing heroes to sleep, and a sleeping hero cannot act until it takes enough damage to wake up.

Her other skills revolve around Sleepiness, a stacking effect that lowers an enemy's Physical and Magic Attack. Dream Armor raises the Armor of the ally in front of her and lets that ally's basic attacks apply Sleepiness, Counting Sheep turns enemies carrying the most stacks into sheep, and the passive Domain of Tranquility applies Sleepiness to anyone who damages Somna or the allies beside her. Her own damage is low, so she is most useful next to heroes that do well in longer fights.

Pros
  • Lullaby Veil puts the enemy team to sleep for 7 seconds
  • Sleepiness lowers both Physical and Magic Attack, so it works against any damage type
  • Counting Sheep takes heavily stacked enemies out of the fight for 5 seconds
Cons
  • Very low personal damage
  • Sleep ends early once a target takes enough damage
  • Control protection, such as Sebastian's, weakens her ultimate
“
Few creatures are able to travel between worlds, but every night countless souls visit one of them - the World of Dreams. Somna stands on the edge between sleep and reality, helping people not to get lost beyond it and stopping nightmares from pouring out into our world. And when order in Dominion is threatened, she conjures deep sleep that will put some sense into even the most heinous villain.

Health and Magic Defence follow, making Somna harder to remove from the back line before Lullaby Veil is ready. Agility is the lowest priority, as the glyph adds only a small amount to her main stat.

How to counter Somna in Hero Wars Dominion Era?

Sebastian
Sebastian

Sebastian gives his team protection from control effects, which can block the sleep from Lullaby Veil. Without her ultimate landing, Somna has little else to contribute.

Somna Pet Priority

Fenris

Fenris increases Physical Attack, which adds to Somna's physical damage, including the damage from Counting Sheep.

Oliver

Oliver provides healing and sustain, which suits the longer fights Somna is designed for.

Axel

Axel offers protection against burst damage, helping the back line survive until Lullaby Veil is ready.
