Somna - Hero Wars Alliance

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

Somna is a Control hero who fights from the mid-line. Her purpose on the battlefield is not to inflict heavy damage but to fundamentally disrupt the enemy's strategy by disabling their most potent heroes.

Somna begins by putting her targets to sleep or applying a "Drowsiness" debuff, which weakens their physical attack and armor penetration. As these effects stack on an enemy, she can trigger her ultimate skill, transforming the foe into a completely harmless sheep and temporarily removing them from the fight.

Even after the transformation wears off, the victim remains silenced, unable to cast their own abilities for a short time. This makes Somna a premier counter-hero, perfectly designed to neutralize physical damage dealers and break apart well-coordinated enemy teams, giving her allies the opening they need to win.
Pros
  • Strong Crowd Control: Sleep and sheep transformation disrupt enemy backlines.
  • Great Synergies: Pairs well with Lian, Satori, and Folio.
  • Debuff Utility: Reduces enemy physical damage and armor penetration.
  • Team Damage Boost: Artifact increases all damage types vs. low-health enemies.
  • Magic-Based: Effective against weak magic defense teams.
Cons
  • Low Durability: Needs protection or healing to survive.
  • Synergy-Dependent: Less effective without specific team comps.
  • Sleep Limitations: Enemies wake when damaged, requiring coordination.
  • Limited Talisman: Only one talisman restricts build options.
  • Weak in Hydra: Low impact in PvE scenarios.
  • Countered Easily: Vulnerable to Iris and Soleil’s mechanics.

How to counter Somna in Hero Wars Alliance?

Iris
Iris

Iris' ability to exploit debuffs turns Somna’s sleep and sheep effects against her team, boosting Iris’s damage output.

Soleil
Soleil

Soleil counters Somna effectively with his anti-control abilities. His Mark of the Ancient God deals heavy bonus damage against control-reliant heroes like Somna, while Blessing of the Ancient God boosts allies’ damage and healing, scaling with enemy control effects. This turns Somna’s crowd control into an advantage for Soleil’s team.
