Fafnir, a stalwart hero of the Honor faction, possesses unique abilities that make him a valuable asset in any team composition. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into strategies on how to effectively utilize Fafnir's skills to protect and empower your team members, focusing on his shield ability and synergies with other heroes.
Fafnir is renowned for his ability to shield agility allies from all types of damage, making him a crucial protector on the battlefield. Additionally, he can augment physical damage, further enhancing his utility in combat situations. To harness Fafnir's full potential, it's essential to comprehend the intricacies of his abilities and how they can be leveraged strategically.
Fafnir's shield ability is his primary means of safeguarding agility allies from harm. This protective barrier not only mitigates damage but also provides crucial support to fragile heroes who rely on agility for survival. Understanding when and how to deploy Fafnir's shield is paramount to maximizing its effectiveness in battles.
One of the most potent aspects of Fafnir's kit lies in his synergies with other heroes, particularly those of the agility class. When paired with heroes like Keira and Jet, Fafnir can effectively shield Keira from devastating attacks, such as Helios' flaming shot. Furthermore, teaming up Fafnir with Yasmine and Artemis, along with other agility heroes, can create formidable combinations that capitalize on Fafnir's protective capabilities.
To make the most out of Fafnir in your team compositions, consider the following strategies:
Fafnir's Talisman in Hero Wars Alliance is a valuable item that plays a crucial role in strengthening your team's defensive and offensive abilities. This talisman, named after the legendary blacksmith Fafnir, confers significant benefits, especially when combined with certain hero-specific abilities.
One of the distinguishing features of the Fafnir Talisman is its ability to enhance the performance of the “Rune Shield” skill. By equipping this talisman on Fafnir, the team will experience an additional layer of protection in shield durability, allowing your team to better withstand enemy attacks.
Furthermore, Fafnir's Talisman also interacts synergistically with the “Rune Blade” skill. When equipped by Fafnir, the talisman amplifies the physical attack bonus granted to allies through the Runic Blade. This results in a significant increase in your team's attack power, making them more formidable on the battlefield.
It is important to highlight that the strategic choice of which heroes will benefit from Fafnir's Talisman will depend on the composition of your team and the synergy between each character's specific skills. By incorporating this talisman into your game strategy, you will be able to strengthen both your team's defenses and attacks, providing a valuable advantage during clashes in Hero Wars Alliance.

| Counters | What happens |
|---|---|
| Oya marks and attracts the enemy with the least health towards her, and deals 100% more damage to enemies that have a shield. Meanwhile, Fafnir places the shield on an ally with agility, heroes with little health in their statistics. | |
| Heidi's abilities release toxins on opponents who use shields as a defense. Additionally, the third skill releases a serpent that removes toxins from opponents in the front and transfers them to opponents in the rear, transferring all the toxins to Fafnir. All toxins deal pure damage and cannot be blocked by shields. | |
| Jorgen Lepra's third skill curses the enemy team and redirects all physical or critical damage to the back line for 10 seconds, thus making Fafnir the target. | |
| When Cleaver uses his Ultimate he uses his hook and pulls the furthest enemy toward the front line, this way Fafnir is unprotected from allied tanks and takes a lot of damage. |
