Chabba has always been a sturdy frontline tank in Hero Wars, but the Hero Wars Chabba Ascension Update has transformed him into a far more dangerous and versatile hero. This rework not only boosts his durability but also unlocks scaling damage potential that can make him a serious threat if left unchecked. Understanding his new ascension skills, builds, and team synergies is essential for making the most of his improved role in battle.
Hero Wars Chabba Ascension Update Skills Breakdown
Fast Food and Wild Hunger
The first ascension skill, Fast Food, is directly tied to Chabba’s ultimate, Wild Hunger. With this upgrade, his ultimate charges much faster, allowing him to swallow enemies more frequently. In testing within the Enginerium, Chabba was activating his ultimate roughly every ten seconds—far quicker than before.
This increased frequency becomes even more interesting when paired with his new health skin. Unlike regular skins, this health skin provides 213,000 additional health, doubling the normal value. The result is a tougher Chabba with an ultimate that feels relentless in battle.
Glutton’s Gratitude
The second ascension skill, Glutton’s Gratitude, completely redefines Chabba’s scaling potential. Every time Chabba heals, his physical attack increases by 429. While this number may sound modest, the effect stacks continuously throughout a fight and is directly tied to his total health.
This means two factors become vital for success: increasing his maximum health and maximizing healing frequency. With Oliver as his patron, Chabba gains around 100,000 additional health, while Aidan can raise his health pool by over 600,000. When placed in the Foundry during Clash of Worlds, his health can effectively double, turning him into an unstoppable wall.
Healing synergies are equally important. Aidan provides frequent healing, but Guus truly stands out. Together, these heroes enable Chabba to rapidly stack physical attack, transforming him into a late-battle powerhouse.
In practical tests, his physical attack climbed from a base of 74,000 to over 220,000 in just two minutes, allowing his ultimate to deal more than 55,000 pure damage per second. In some cases, he broke the 60,000 mark, tripling his normal output.
Hero Wars Fat Layer Skill and Tanking Potential
Chabba’s Fat Layer skill was also reworked in this update. It now grants double armor, and the bonus scales directly with his physical attack. If Chabba triples his physical attack, his armor bonus also triples. Instead of stopping at 16,000 armor, Fat Layer can climb as high as 48,000.
With his natural 49,000 armor and artifact bonuses, Chabba can push close to 150,000 total armor. In battle scenarios, this made him almost unkillable during the final 10–20 seconds of a fight. Even strong heroes like Ishmael, supported by Lyria, struggled to penetrate his defenses.
This makes Chabba incredibly dangerous if not dealt with early. Teams that fail to eliminate him quickly will often find themselves unable to finish him off at all.
Hero Wars Chabba Teams and Strategy
While Chabba can dish out surprising amounts of damage, he remains primarily a tank. His role is to protect allies and disrupt enemy formations while scaling into a late-game powerhouse.
One particularly effective lineup features Chabba, Lyria, Ishmael, Sebastian, and Guus. Chabba’s frequent ultimates reposition enemies, forcing Ishmael to attack squishier targets rather than tanks or heavily supported heroes. This allows the team to shred backlines with devastating efficiency.
He performs exceptionally well in Foundry, Enginerium battles, Lighthouse, and possibly City Hall. The key to his success is not just the amount of healing he receives, but the frequency of healing ticks, which accelerate his attack scaling.
Hero Wars Chabba Guide: Builds, Skins, Glyphs, and Artifacts
To optimize Chabba, focus on maximizing health and healing synergy.
- Chabba Build: Prioritize health, armor, and healing synergy to maximize his scaling potential.
- Chabba Skins: His new health skin is essential, providing a massive durability boost and fueling Glutton’s Gratitude.
- Chabba Glyphs: Health and armor glyphs should be maxed first, followed by magic defense and strength.
- Chabba Artifacts: His armor artifact is especially powerful, pushing his defenses to the next level.
When combined, these upgrades transform Chabba into one of the strongest tanks available.
Where Does Chabba Rank in the Hero Wars Tank Tier List?
After the Chabba Hero Wars Rework, he deserves a place near the top of the Hero Wars Tank Tier List. While he may not surpass Galahad, his improvements make him more competitive than ever. He is now a reliable frontline hero who can fit into a wide variety of team compositions.
Final Thoughts on the Hero Wars Chabba Ascension Update
The Hero Wars Chabba Ascension Update has elevated Chabba from a durable but unremarkable tank into a serious contender. His ascension skills provide faster ultimates, scaling physical attack, and a reworked Fat Layer skill that skyrockets his armor to incredible levels.
Chabba is still not a primary damage dealer, but his ability to survive, scale, and protect his team has never been stronger. With the right pets, skins, and team strategy, he can dominate late fights and secure victories in some of the toughest game modes.
