In the world of Hero Wars, mastering team synergy is everything—and no faction has experienced a more chilling transformation than the Undead. With the arrival of Lyria, the Hero Wars Undead Team has taken on a whole new level of power and coordination. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Corvus and Morrigan or just discovering the potential of Keira and Lyria, building around this faction can now lead to devastating results in both Arena and Asgard. In this guide, we’ll break down how each hero contributes, how their skills interact, and why this synergy might just be the next big thing.
Lyria’s Arrival Changed Everything
The addition of Lyria has dramatically improved the performance of the Hero Wars Undead Team. She brings high-impact skills that synergize with other Undead heroes, elevating the entire team’s effectiveness. One of the biggest shifts came from a simple update: Keira, previously considered Undead only after reviving with her Ascension skill, is now recognized as Undead from the start of the battle. This change allows Keira to fully participate in Undead synergy immediately—setting the stage for stronger openings and better team scaling.
Core Composition of the Hero Wars Undead Team
A popular lineup for the Hero Wars Undead Team now includes:
- Corvus
- Morrigan
- Lyria
- Keira
- Plus one flex slot (Sebastian, Phobos, or Nebula)
Let’s dive into how each hero supports the others and unlocks powerful synergies.
Corvus: The Backbone of the Undead
Corvus brings essential damage and defense reduction. His Strike of the Damned weakens enemy frontliners by reducing Armor, Magic Defense, and Dodge. This reduction scales with the number of Undead allies—starting at 10,174 and rising up to 20,348 when Morrigan’s skeletons and all five Undead heroes are on the field.
More than just weakening defenses, Hero Wars Corvus also boosts ally strength through Unity of the Damned, adding 19,000 physical and magic attack to all Undead allies for 10 seconds. This buff is critical for amplifying both Keira’s physical output and Morrigan’s healing.
His artifact adds an armor boost for the whole team, giving everyone—Undead or not—a solid defensive buffer.
Hero Wars Undead Team Morrigan: The Silent MVP
Hero Wars Morrigan is the unsung hero of the Hero Wars Undead Team. Her Army of Graven summons up to six skeletons that not only serve as meat shields but also count as Undead allies. This directly amplifies Corvus’s Strike of the Damned and Lyria’s passive aura.
Her Bone Armor provides a large armor and magic defense buff (29,670 each) while healing all Undead allies for 82,299. It synergizes beautifully with Corvus’s physical/magic attack buff, scaling the healing even further.
Moonlight, her emergency heal, kicks in automatically when any Undead ally drops below 20% HP—ideal for keeping fragile heroes like Keira alive during burst phases. Her artifact adds even more value with team-wide armor penetration.
Lyria: The Catalyst of Change
Hero Wars Lyria inclusion completely revitalized the Hero Wars Undead Team. Her skill Soul Reaper collects souls from all fallen units—including Morrigan’s skeletons—and uses them to unleash up to ten strikes against the lowest-health enemy. This makes her a brutal closer, finishing off weakened enemies in the chaos of battle.
Bonds of Alliance binds Lyria to the ally with the highest physical attack (usually Keira), giving both vampirism and +10,000 physical attack—if the ally is also Undead. When combined with Corvus’s team buff, Keira receives a huge spike in damage and self-healing, turning her into a monster on the battlefield.
Her passive, Shackles of Doom, reduces enemy dodge by over 20,000 and increases physical damage they take. This aura expands with every Undead ally on the field—including skeletons—making it devastating against dodge-heavy enemies like Dante and Aurora. Add her artifact (which also grants armor penetration) into the mix, and the synergy is undeniable.
Keira: From Glass Cannon to Deadly Juggernaut
With the recent update, Hero Wars Keira is Undead from the start, enabling full synergy right away. Her basic attacks and skills benefit from:
- Corvus’s debuffs and attack buff
- Morrigan’s heals and armor penetration
- Lyria’s vampirism and extra physical attack
Her Piercing Pain skill thrives when enemy armor is low, which is guaranteed thanks to Corvus’s debuffs and double artifact boosts from Lyria and Morrigan. Her own artifact further boosts the team’s physical attack, reinforcing Corvus and Lyria as well.
Keira’s primary weakness—fragility—is now covered. Morrigan’s Moonlight and Lyria’s vampirism help her stay alive long enough to do serious damage.
Hero Wars Undead Team Phobos: Situational, but Useful
Phobos may not provide direct Undead buffs, but he contributes passively by counting as an Undead ally. His Trembling Hands reduces enemy physical attack and is particularly effective against Dante or other physical DPS. His Dark Deal heals the ally with the lowest health—again, good for supporting Keira.
Still, many players choose to swap him out for Sebastian or Nebula, depending on the battle. These heroes increase team-wide effectiveness more consistently, especially when targeting specific threats.
Optimizing the Fifth Slot
Your choice of the fifth hero depends on what you need:
- Phobos: Extra healing and physical attack debuff.
- Sebastian: Critical hit support and protection from control effects.
- Nebula: Amplifies the strongest hero’s damage and improves balance.
Experiment based on your opponent. For control-heavy teams, Sebastian is often the best choice. For raw physical damage amplification, Nebula can outshine others.
Final Thoughts on the Hero Wars Undead Team
The synergy between Corvus, Morrigan, Lyria, and Keira showcases just how far the Hero Wars Undead Team has evolved. Corvus softens the target, Morrigan maintains team health and damage, Lyria amplifies offense while disabling enemy defenses, and Keira finishes the job with brutal precision. Whether or not you include Phobos, the core four heroes work incredibly well together.
