Strategy on how to use Tristan in Hero Wars Alliance

Underestimating Tristan is a grave mistake, as he has the potential to become a formidable S+ rank hero when placed in the right team composition.

Strengths and Abilities

Tristan shines brightest when facing teams predominantly composed of mages. His skill, "Sorcerer's Judge," is tailored to target heroes with the highest magic penetration stats, effectively draining their energy and negating their magical abilities.

Moreover, Tristan's artifacts enhance his armor penetration abilities, making him an ideal ally for heroes such as Artemis and Yasmine. When paired with them, Tristan significantly boosts their damage output, as both heroes benefit from his armor penetration, establishing a formidable presence on the battlefield. Tristan synergizes exceptionally well with teams featuring meta Artemis and meta Yasmine, making him a compelling choice for investment.

Tristan's Skills

  1. Purifier's Wrath: Tristan unleashes the might of the Demonic Reliquary on nearby enemies, dealing damage proportional to his physical attack.
    • Damage: Max(18620) - (25% Physical Attack + 75 * (Skill Level))
  2. Righteous Zeal: Tristan invokes the Light to grant Righteous Zeal to himself and allies in front of him, increasing their physical attack for a duration of 5 seconds.
    • Physical Attack Bonus: Max(12496) - (20% Physical Attack + 40 * (Skill Level))
    • Keywords: Buff
  3. Judge of Sorcerers: Tristan releases demonic souls from the Demonic Reliquary, targeting enemies with the highest Magic Penetration stat. Each hit deals damage and burns 100 energy. If no enemies possess a Magic Penetration stat, the demons target the furthest enemy instead.
    • Damage: Max(4924) - (5% Physical Attack + 25 * (Skill Level + 20))
    • Energy Burned: Max(100) - ((Skill Level + 20) - 20)
  4. Blessed Vanguard: Whenever an ally in front of Tristan gains energy, he gains the same amount of energy, further bolstering his ability to unleash powerful skills.
    • Energy Gain Chance: Chance to gain energy from an ally is lowered if the target's level is above the skill level. Max120 = (Skill Level + 40)

Tristan Talisman Guide

With the talisman, Tristan will gain 806,187 total health points and will have more health than most Hero Wars tanks. This way, it becomes more difficult to eliminate him quickly, and so he activates his armor penetration artifact more times for Artemis to cause more damage.

Furthermore, the passive ability of his main battle ally Artemis increases the physical attack according to the total amount of health of the allies, so Artemis will deal more damage when using the Death Bath skill.
