He WAS countering everyone before THE NERF! Now, he can counter NO ONE, after the NERF! Charlie deleted his video about the Corvus nerf to sell him to you. Don't waste your money for a nerved hero like Ismael.
I sent you screenshots of his baseline stats and timers from the day he launched, and his stats and skills and all that from yesterday (April 9th). I'll take that apology from you as soon as possible.
@@HeroWarsCentral you are a lowlife without honor Charlie, you ve blocked me because you couldn't find anything to answer me.. You really think I would care? This world is a shittt show because of people like you... no honor, no values... all lies and easily offended when someone shows them what they are...
Nice, Corvus is my main damage dealer on my undead team. With Morrigan and Dorian on the team, there is a lot of chance for him to replenish his health.
My main damage dealer is Keira, when I face Corvus one thing that usually works is placing her next to Dorian. This has limits, as it rules out all heroes that stamd between them (that's a lot), but a Keira with vampirism will shred Corvus immediately after he set his altar with multiple ultimates. This holds for most damage dealers (but not for Helios, for example).
Hence "usually", it also prevents use if Sebastian and Isaac, and will crash if the enemy has multiple armor artifacts. There are always exceptions and you must be able to offer several different solutions.
I agree except for one caveat: Corvus doesn't counter terribly well heroes that do mostly pure damage. when I summoned Iris, I thought she'd be hard countered by Corvus, since she does a lot of AOE damage, but max testing proved it not to be the case. perhaps she'd eventually die to Corvus's totem, but with her op grey ability she kills Corvus way before that happens. similar thing for Keira blender. I think in Coco's video on Corvus, they said the totem reflects 100% of physical or magical damage applied, not the value of it minus armor or magic defense (damage taken). that's why pure damage is the way to counter him.
7:52 "hard counter" is not the right word here, I actually hate it when it gets thrown out incorrectly as it creates incorrect assumptions, especially when they lose a fight using specific heroes. While Corvus is a hard counter to Yasmine for most of these heroes he's more of a "soft counter" or simply just good DPS. Hard counter is a hero who is 100% effective against another hero. Some examples of hard counters: Corvus vs. Yasmine, Helios vs Yasmine, Morrigan vs. Rufus, Sebastian vs Satori. There actually isn't a whole lot of true hard counters in Hero Wars, most counters in Hero Wars are what is known as "soft counters". Some examples of soft counters: Martha vs Jhu, Martha vs Karkh, Andvari vs Lars, Dorian vs Lars, Dorian vs Cleaver, Aurora vs Martha, The list of soft counters is very extensive and goes on and on.
I got Morrigan early on and started using her. It took me 4 months to get Corvus, but I spent the time to level him up, now I am using him with Morrigan and Phobos. One thing I discovered is he pulls Galahad back from his charges into the enemy team and that has helped keep him alive.
Using Galahad with him is a good idea. I bet that that works with Luther, too...and if you don't have Luther, but have Faceless copying an enemy Luther, then you can get Faceless back. Brilliant! Do you know of any other heroes that move their teammates?
Hi Eugene, long time not been able to reply you on Discord, apologies! Every day is just a week too short, even more so since HW is in our lives! Great to see you still posting a lot here on YT! Anyway, Royal Defense works for Luther, but also against Luther, and some other heroes. It is very much a double edged sword. Like when we want Luther to hit Martha's tea pot and he gets dragged back before he gets healed, that ruins that strategy. Or when Martha is supposed to cover the back vs a Jhu or Jorgen (Leper), but just before her basic attack self heal kicks in she gets dragged into the centre and boom! Exposed is Helios/Phobos/whatever weaker hero that was relying on Martha to cover the backline.
Thanks for the info. I haven't fully understand hero wars mobile cuz I just recently play this like almost 3 months plus im at lvl 88. As I lvl up fast, I notice that it's super hard to win cuz my team attacks were not in sync. So I'm rebuilding my team again and I'm really grateful cuz I found this vid. I thought corvus is useless but when I saw your video, I change my mind and I start leveling my corvus.
You didn't mention how Alter of Souls works with Axel's Bubbles of Justice. This is probably the most important interaction with skill set as Bubbles of Justice turns all magic and physical damage into AE damage. All of those heroes that only hit "one target", if Bubbles of Justice is up they end up hitting 5 targets instead 1 so they get pinged 5 times by the Alter. This is the biggest reason Corvus has a lot potential and why, on paper he is good versus most heroes because he has such great damage potential. I don't know if he will ever be an actual good "tank" but if you think of him as DPS hero instead instead of a tank hero then it's a lot easier to justify investing in him. If you want to use him, you really do have to have the mindset that he's a DPS and not a tank, and then you want to level up Aurora to be your actual tank so she can sit in front of him. Because Corvus' physical attack skins don't really do much for him, you can actually skip them, you just need his strength skin because health is the stat that determines his alter damage and the main reason he makes a good DPS character.
I regret every resource I invested into Aurora. But then in a year or so, Corvus will have a half dozen hard counters as well, and I'll probably regret that decision also.
@@MistyKathrine i have noticed from your videos that your server seems to be a tad behind on trends that the older servers are seeing. In the top 100 arena teams on my server we still see Aurora from time to time, but most people now use Cleaver, Astaroth, Luther, and even Ziri. Aurora (plus Sebastian and Isaac for that matter) gets destroyed immediately by anyone using even a moderately leveled Iris. Aurora's popularity is plummeting. You've often mentioned how everyone uses Sebastian on your server. Can I make a suggestion? Maybe you need to switch servers. Cause that is NOT the case on older servers. On my server every team you face in the top 100 in arena is different. There are few or no repeat patterns. Sounds to me like your server is stuck in a rut and unwilling to break patterns. You might be a lot happier moving servers.
@@FablestoneSeries Arena means nothing. On any advanced server players don't use their guild war defense teams for Arena defense. Don't give your rivals a free practice against your line if you can avoid it. In guild wars, nobody, and I mean nobody is using Ziri. Also my server is older than every web server, except server 1. It's also older than all but like 12 or 13 of the remaining Facebook servers. The fact that my server has avoided a merge when servers that are newer than mine says a lot about the community there. Also Iris is pretty decent versus any tank not named Rufus, but, she's really not that hard to deal with. There are many heroes I fear far more than Iris. You really just don't understand much about this game.
I still remembered one of your old videos about how poor Corvus's armor and health compared to other tanks. But I do agree Covrus is a great tank to start the game with. However, given the rising popularity of pure damage teams post the release of Iris, I think Rufus would be my top choice for 2022 given his effectiveness against magic/pure damage teams as well as Osh.
Rufus is easily countered by Morrigan: she prevents him from doing his little annoying trick. Granted on offense, when you know what team you're going up against, but not for defense where you have no control over what you will be attacked with. His point is that Covus is much more "general purpose."
@@dragget I do agree with the "general purpose" but that has nothing to do with 2022 - Corvus has always been great since he first came out. But if we are talking about 2022 post Iris and Asgard, I would go with Rufus given his usefulness for both PvP and against Osh. Morrigan only counters resurrection which is only one of the skills that Rufus has. If the defense team is able to force the opponent to use a specific counter hero like Morrigan who doesn't provide much synergy outside of the undead team, that's a great defense strategy already.
AOE against Corvus's Totem is a great counter. Orion or Twins have AOE that can quickly take down those totems. With Orion you might want to pair him with Nebula or a hero that that has a magic attack artifact to boost his AOE damage eg Celeste or to destroy the tower faster.
I have Corvus at max rank and max out physical attack and armor skin on mobile and he does severe damage...currently trying to max rank Morgan to keep him alive longer.
Corvus is my main tank, and I spent on his and Morrigan's skins as my first purchases in over a year. Kiera, Morrigan, and Corvus are all in my 5 strongest row (with Corn actually being my second strongest, and his mother my fith strongest, only person I know with Corn that high in their list).
In the tower, I learned that Luther jumping to the back to AoE Morrigan's Graven and her would work, just have to tie Corvus up with Astrid, with 2 healers (Thea and Celeste using heal, until she could double ult back to healing to keep everyone alive) with Oliver. Long and drawn out.
Corvus is my primary tank on Mobile....the vast majority of my resources go into him. I have him at Ultimate star, maxed his two prior skins, maxed his gift of the elements, two glyphs are at 40, artifact essence at 100 for each one, he is at Orange +3, . Current Total power 71,114...and he's only at level 107.
I saw a video a while back where corvus solo'd a team. There was a dorian on that team and corvus got pushed back getting him in range of Dorian's vampirism aura. He just kept standing and eventually killed the whole enemy team
For a long time the Tower was my nemesis, Because he is a broad spectrum counter, I have him, Morrigan and Keira in my main team, all are ultimate star. Corvus with Morrigan is a no brainer. may as well use Kiera as well as she gets buff from both. The other slots, Martha, maybe Celeste or Maya as Healer, Quin Mao is a possible when extra punch is needed.
@@Gaze73 No Idea as i have not brought my Jet up yet (for obvious reasons). Sebastian I am developing for Boss/Osh fights so may get to try that out eventually.
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 I started leveling him too, he's actually higher than my Corvus (I'm F2P) but his skills haven't caught up. I think Corvus is lvl 79/Max skills and Dorian is 82/skills in the 50s and haven't had resources to get them to survive long enough in Arena. In campaign, I've Had Helios, Dorian, Celeste, Morrigan, Corvus farming chapter 8 for purple items succesfully on auto.
It would take a miracle for him to dislodge Sebastian as the most popular hero on Facebook, he is OP and the entire metagame is warped around him. Corvus' ult is pretty much worthless because Sebastian is ubiquitous and nullifies it like so many other abilities, so the only value is the armor buff and a bit of physical damage, I guess it's better than Astaroth's ult but that's not saying much. Corvus also needs some health and/or armor skins instead of mostly worthless physical attack skins, because he's too squishy to actually be effective as a main tank and as it stands now he struggles to be a main tank. He does great amounts of pure damage but because he's so squishy he usually dies pretty quickly limiting the amount of damage he can actually do so to actually use him for damage it's best as a second tank behind Aurora, or perhaps Cleaver, he's 4th is line-up so there is only 3 tanks he can sit behind limiting his options further, the only other option is Chabba who isn't worth using. Aurora is already the top tank followed by Cleaver, so you should invest in one of those heroes first before thinking about Corvus. Though he at least has potential which is more than can be said about Ziri who needs a full on rework. Address his survivability issues so that he can actually be a viable tank in his own right, but until that happens he's limited to playing second fiddle to Aurora.
Actually Dorian counter Corvus pretty hard. Heidi or Artemis with vampirism goes off like crazy, cause they heal so much. The same goes for celeste, but she doesnt need Dorian, cause her spec heals herself
Dorian counters Corvus? :D Sorry, not serious case, Dorian himself is a victim of Corvus altar. Of course, there are Corvus teams which can be countered by Heidi under Dorian, however, Heidi himself can be victim to allies of Corvus, for example, Phobos and Judge. Therefore, you need not to counter Corvus, but you need to exploit the weakness within a team which is lead by Corvus (and there is always at least one weakness within each team, btw!).
The problem with Corvus on FB/Web is that there are only 3 Undead heroes - Corvus, Morrigan and Phobos, so he won't boost a whole team, like on Mobile. Also, Corvus has crappy Armor on FB, and didn't get an Armor skin. Corvus is one of my Top 4 Tanks, but he can die quite quickly, especially if he's not paired with Morrigan. I don't understand why Keira, the one hero with the clearest Undead origin story, is not Undead on FB/Web? I went out of my way, raising Corvus and Morrigan, hoping FB would get a full Undead team, but only Phobos got that designation.
While we agree on the lore part, Undead Keira would make a lot of sense, we guess the devs fear she would get too OP if she also gets the Undead boosts? And thus unbalance the game?
I have a maxed Asta , he has been getting crushed by undead teams , Will he really be worth building up on facebook in the long run , i have a good faceless , and am now bringing up karkh and kai as a meta team , i am also working on Adivandi to go with my keara team , Am i better off building a undead team ?
on my server not that many people use Corvus, he is really strong and I could probably create a nice corvus deck but for me I just don’t want to play with him, Aurora is for me a better hero, just like her a lot more than Corvus
@@foyjamez Tower victories and Adventure victories are partially fake victories because of buffs. No chances for mediocre Astrid and Lucas in Arena and Grand Arena. And, by the way, some Chabba & Elmir teams can counter Corvus easier than Astrid and Lucas.
I ve never lost with my Yas team to Corvus, ever. So I dont know bro :) And they were sometimes quite strong teams(stronger in power). Ou yeah, maybe once. When morrigan spawned over and over small minions and I didnt have the Aoe in the team and my Yas was focusing and jumping on minions(in auto mode).
@@yernaristeliyev181 Murder Corvus fast, before He starts to be efective. And I build up team around it to do it fast. He places altar sometimes, but mostly for few seconds, which boosts my isaac or other supports anyway like Seb. I use Axel usually. Depends on the team comp. I am not fully leveled, so maybe its different, I dont know :)
Not sure about Dante, but yeah, the other two definitely are undead in their lore. I'm guessing they didn't make keira undead because the buffs corvus and morrigan would give her would be too much.
@@lucasrivas9623 Not sure if it's different on mobile than on FB/Web, but his blurb only says that he is a soultaker of sorts. The story on the fandom page describes him as an animated statue. A golem, maybe, but not a zombie.
My Karch team has never lost to an undead team, even 100k+ more powerful. Undead are nearly as weak as Twin teams. Corvus and his little undead biotches are worthless.
Lol, on mobile undead doesn’t even need Andvari to kill Karkh. Karkh with Nebula is suicidal against undead. Karkh is an “always go” on arena and GW, worst hero on defense.
h aha haha, you try to sell a heavily nerfed tank? you always try to mislead players for nexters money... don't invest to Corvus, he is not good anymore after the totem nerf..
@@2drealms196 longer activation and cool down time, new gap between opponent damage and totem damage, less damage against some heroes (heidi for example)
Corvus is my main dmg dealer if I’m not using Keira on mobile. My 370k+ undead team solves the most complex tasks in guild wars. Twins/Satori/Amira/Xe’sha - whatever. I would say you don’t need the armor skin for Corvus - in my case he works even worse because of the late ultimate. Corvus has Morrigan as an insane healer, better push her instead of the armor.
