[Hero Wars Guide]Best Support in Hero Wars 2025 – Who Should You Upgrade?

Contents

Summary

Which heroes should you choose to upgrade in Hero Wars 2024?
Here we describe the main candidates for the Support role.
We hope this will help you choose the heroes you will upgrade in the future.

Especially in the battle against opponents, the support heroes are highly dependent on their status.
When you want to concentrate on DPS, you don’t have much to do at the beginning of the game.
It is only in the latter half of the game, when it is no longer possible to fight well just by raising DPS, and when it becomes important to assemble a team, that the true value of the support heroes is demonstrated.

Description

Sebastian

Sebastian specializes in removing debuffs and remains highly effective as long as his Armor and Health are well developed.
He’s also more beginner-friendly than Khorus, whose true potential only emerges at near-max levels.
Sebastian grants a critical hit chance buff based on his Physical Attack, making him a staple support hero—especially in Osh battles or for players running physical DPS teams.
Though most often used in physical setups, his reliable debuff-cleansing also makes him a valuable addition to magic-based teams, giving him excellent cross-role flexibility.
While he’s become slightly harder to use due to the rise of hard counters, he remains one of the few heroes capable of neutralizing Augustus’s pure damage conversion.
Sebastian was even named the strongest hero in an official developer interview, a testament to his enduring impact in Hero Wars.

Nebula

Nebula is a top-tier buffer, significantly boosting the damage of adjacent allies—with healing as a bonus.
While she doesn’t cleanse debuffs as effectively as Sebastian or Khorus, her wide reactive field can neutralize Yasmine’s poison, giving her a strong situational advantage.
Despite being a physical support, Nebula pairs extremely well with mages like Amira, Heidi, Orion, and Celeste, especially in fast-paced comps.
The popular Nebula + Sebastian combo (often referred to as “Nebas”) is widely used to amplify physical DPS.
Her strength lies in boosting the Physical Attack of two adjacent heroes, enabling strategic team formations—even for newer players.

Lyria

Lyria is a powerful counter to Dante, Qing Mao, and Aurora tank teams.
She supports physical DPS by generating a Dodge nullification field, applying armor penetration buffs, and granting lifesteal. As an undead hero, she also synergizes well with other undead units.
Lyria works especially well when paired with Galahad or Keira, forming aggressive, front-loaded physical teams. However, she is heavily power-dependent—if your team is underpowered, a high-powered Dante can quickly wipe you out.
To effectively counter a 150K power Dante, both Lyria and Galahad should also be raised to 150K power or higher. In such matchups, power parity in your frontline is crucial.

Isaac

Isaac is a key support for physical teams and a hard counter to magic damage, making him very effective against Orion, the Twins (Krista and Lars), and Celeste. He’s also essential for guild raids against Osh.
His performance scales with Health and Physical Attack, making him a late bloomer. To avoid inefficient power scaling early on, it’s best to level him gradually.
Isaac struggles against non-magic attackers like Iris, Heidi, and Cornelius. Also, if Augustus converts magic damage into pure damage, Isaac becomes unable to counter it. In those cases, pairing him with Sebastian can restore debuff protection and stabilize your team.

Fafnir

Fafnir is a versatile support–control hybrid who excels in both offense and defense for physical teams.
Unlike many fragile support heroes, Fafnir is a tough rear-line unit, making him beginner-friendly and easy to deploy.
He’s particularly effective in Grand Arena, often serving as a strong second-team pick.
With focused investment in just his first skill and main artifact, Fafnir can quickly become a valuable contributor in combat.
His synergy with physical DPS—especially Ishmael—is outstanding, and he’s a solid pick for your Hero Soul Stone Chest.

Morrigan

Morrigan is a reliable counter to Astaroth and Rufus.
Although her support role is limited, her value has grown in response to Rufus’s popularity in the current meta.
She pairs well with Iris and Cornelius, and her synergy with Corvus creates a powerful “father–daughter” combo.
Morrigan requires less Power investment than most support heroes, making her a good early-game option.
However, her slow attack speed and delayed artifact activation can hinder her impact. For faster armor penetration buffs, you may want to consider Lyria, Qing Mao or Tristan instead.

Cornelius

Cornelius is a key pick for dealing high damage to Osh, though he’s less useful in PvP.
He’s especially effective in Campaign mode as a counter to enemy mage teams.
Cornelius is easy to level and becomes effective with minimal investment, making him a solid early-game choice.

In Conclusion

While many support heroes not mentioned here also have unique strengths, focusing on those with clear and impactful roles can give you a real edge in both PvP and PvE.

We hope this guide helps you make smart upgrade decisions and build a stronger, more versatile team in Hero Wars 2025.
