Hero Wars Meta Teams: Dante, Orion, and Augustus in Action
Since Augustus was introduced to Hero Wars, the combination of Dante, Orion, and Augustus has become a core part of many Hero Wars Meta Teams. These three heroes work exceptionally well together, but only when supported by the right allies and pets.
This article breaks down three powerful team compositions built around this trio. Each setup is tailored to face different challenges in Arena, Grand Arena, and Clash of Worlds — all while fitting into the current Hero Wars Meta Teams landscape.
Hero Wars Meta Team #1: Dante, Nebula, Orion, Augustus, Aidan
Pets: Dante (Cain), Aidan (Khorus or Merlin)
This team behaves like a typical magic-heavy lineup, but it stands out by placing Dante in the tank role, supported by Cain.
Though Dante is generally seen as a high-damage agility hero, his dodge-focused skillset makes him surprisingly effective in the front line. With Cain boosting his dodge and his Foresight skill increasing dodge for the entire team, Dante can evade a large portion of physical damage, allowing the backline to operate safely.
Aidan bonds with Dante, adding armor, magic defense, and a health-sharing link that helps Dante survive longer. Nebula enhances the damage output of both Dante and Orion when placed between them, thanks to her Equilibrium skill.
Orion brings fast energy gain and strong magic bursts, while Augustus reduces enemy magic defense with Superconductivity, eventually converting all magic damage — including Orion’s — into pure damage. This synergy allows this team to shred through even high-defense opponents and makes it a staple among Hero Wars Meta Teams.
Sustained Magic Damage Team: Dante, Nebula, Orion, Augustus, Dorian
Pets: Dante (Cain), Dorian (Axel or Merlin)
The second composition addresses a major issue: Orion and Augustus often struggle to survive long enough to unleash their full potential. While Aidan provides solid frontline support, the backline remains exposed.
Replacing Aidan with Dorian fixes this by introducing healing. Dorian’s Initiation skill grants vampirism to nearby heroes — typically Orion and Augustus. With their high damage output, they recover a significant amount of health with every attack, giving them sustainability in longer battles.
Though Dante becomes slightly less durable without Aidan’s support, the overall team benefits from Orion and Augustus staying alive longer. This setup turns high burst damage into sustained magic pressure and earns its place among effective Hero Wars Meta Teams for extended fights.
Anti-Control Meta Team: Dante, Sebastian, Orion, Augustus, Dorian
Pets: Dante (Cain), Sebastian (Oliver or Fenris), Orion (Axel or Merlin), Augustus (Albus), Dorian (Axel or Merlin)
This version emerged as a counter to specific team compositions that have been targeting the first two setups. A common counter includes Aurora or Astaroth as the tank, Isaac with Axel, Sebastian with Oliver, Heidi with Albus or Axel, and Dorian as the healer. These teams are designed to withstand magic damage while silencing key attackers.
The primary threat is Isaac. He charges his ultimate quickly and frequently, and even though Khorus reduces debuffs by 70%, the remaining 30% is enough to silence Orion and Augustus.
To solve this, Sebastian is introduced instead of Nebula. His shield blocks negative effects, preventing Isaac from disabling your magic damage core. This change reduces the overall damage slightly due to Nebula’s absence, but increases consistency and control resistance — especially in Clash of Worlds.
This team composition performs reliably against control-heavy opponents and brings a significant bonus: it’s immune to Satori. Sebastian prevents the application of Fox Marks, neutralizing one of Satori’s strongest mechanics. That’s what makes this setup one of the most flexible Hero Wars Meta Teams in the current game environment.
Pets and Clash of Worlds Considerations
I’ve also seen a variation of this Hero Wars Sebastian -based team that uses either Khorus or Axel as the team pet. Khorus is generally the preferred option, offering a 70% reduction in the chance of negative effects landing on your team — synergizing well with Sebastian’s debuff protection.
However, in Clash of Worlds, players often need to split their core support between teams. Keeping Sebastian and Khorus together makes one team very strong but leaves others vulnerable to crowd control. That’s why it’s common to place Sebastian in one team and Khorus in another, ensuring broader resistance to debuffs across your defenses.
Using Axel as the pet improves survivability through damage sharing, but has a notable weakness: if heroes like Augustus or Helios break Sebastian’s shield early, the team becomes vulnerable to Arachne stuns or other crowd control effects. Without Khorus to resist those debuffs, the formation can collapse quickly.
This is why strategic pet selection is crucial in Hero Wars Meta Teams, especially in modes like Clash of Worlds where versatility and planning make the difference between victory and defeat.
Final Thoughts on Hero Wars Meta Teams
Each of these three team compositions showcases a different way to maximize the synergy between Dante, Orion, and Augustus. Whether you prioritize Aidan’s tank sustain, Dorian’s backline healing, or Sebastian’s anti-control utility, these setups are currently among the strongest Hero Wars Meta Teams in play.
As the meta evolves, these teams offer the flexibility to stay competitive in both Arena and Clash of Worlds. Small changes — like swapping Nebula for Sebastian or choosing the right pet — can dramatically shift the outcome of your battles.
If you’re aiming to climb and dominate in Hero Wars, these meta teams are the place to start.
