Today we will discuss the newest addition to the hero roster, Hero Wars Tristan. To start, we’ll go over his skills and 1st artifact. Then we will dive into his true role and how to effectively utilize him in your team builds.
Let’s start by covering his skills. The first skill we’ll discuss is Tristan hero wars white skill, Sacred Rage. This skill will unleash The Might of the Demonic Reliquary on nearby enemies, dealing damage. This is calculated by multiplying his physical attack by 40% and adding 145 times his level. The max attribute is 39,198, however this can change if you have Fenris as patronage. The next skill we’ll go over is his green skill, Righteous Zeal. Tristan invokes the Light To Grant Righteous Zeal, to himself and allies in front of him. This increases physical and magic attack for 5 seconds. If you have any allies in the build that are part of the blessed faction, they will receive double the increase, regardless of their position on the battlefield. This is calculated by multiplying his physical attack by 22% and adding 30 times his level. The max value, without Fenris as patronage, is 15,092. Moving along, we have his blue skill, Serving the Light. With this skill, Tristan releases a demonic soul imprisoned in the Demonic Reliquary. It targets the nearest enemy and decreases their physical attack by 5 seconds. For each member on the team that is in the blessed faction, he releases an extra demonic soul to target new enemies in order of distance. The reduction in physical attack is calculated by multiplying point 6% times Tristan’s health and adding 25 times his level. With maxed attributes and no patronage this comes out to 7,485. Lastly, is his violet skill, Blessed Vanguard. Whenever the ally in front of Tristan gains energy, he gains some of it as bonus energy. The amount of energy gained increases if the ally is part of the blessed faction. The bonus energy from any allies in front of Tristan is calculated by multiplying 27% times his level plus 25.8. This will get you a max of 50.1% bonus energy. For allies that are in the blessed faction you multiply 35% times his level plus 39, for a total of 70.5 bonus energy.
Now we will move on to Tristan’s weapon artifact, Demonic Reliquary. When he uses his white skill, Sacred Rage in combat, it can trigger an effect that gives bonus armor penetration for the entire team for 9 seconds. Therefore, Olympus considers him to be more of a support than a warrior. We will cover this in the next section. Moving along, we’ll now discuss Tristan’s real purpose and how to use him.
Tristan’s role is listed as warrior. However, he should also be listed as a support hero. He is a warrior because he fights in the front line in close quarters combat. Being a warrior hero does not mean that he is a strong damage dealer. Tristan is not like K’arkh, Yasmine, Elmir, etcetera. His second skill increases physical and magic attack for 5 seconds, which is a support skill not a damage dealing skill. His third skill decreases physical attack of nearby enemies. Again, this is a support skill and not a damage dealing skill. His fourth skill gains energy whenever an ally in front gains energy. Yet again, this is a support skill and not a damage dealing skill. So why do we consider his violet skill to be more support in nature? Because when he gains energy he uses his first skill and activates his first artifact, which is armor penetration. This allows physical damage dealers to ignore the amount of armor and inflict more damage. This does not mean that he is not a good hero. In fact, it is quite the opposite. He is very good if you build the team around him correctly. We have tested him, and his performance is amazing when supporting physical attackers.
When should you put Tristan in the lineup? As we mentioned above, Tristan is not only a warrior, but he is also a support hero. His first artifact gives armor penetration. Which means he should be matched with physical teams. Or, at the very least, main damage dealers must be physical attackers. Tristan can also be used in place of Isaac. Here is the logic behind this idea. As I’m sure you are aware, Isaac gives armor penetration from his first artifact. If you fight physical teams, Isaac's boost does not occur as often as it would if he was fighting mage teams. This means, he doesn’t build up enough energy to support main damage dealers armor penetration. Prior to the release of Tristan, when we had battles with physical teams, we would use a roster like Andvari, Dante, Nebula and Sebastian. Instead of Isaac, we’d use Qing Mao or Elmir. Again, Isaac’s effectiveness was limited due to lack of mage attacks. Now we have an alternative. Tristan! Since he can build energy quickly, his first artifact activation is invaluable to physical damage dealers. Therefore we consider him to be more of a support hero than a warrior.
