If you’re looking to dominate battles in Hero Wars, understanding Lyria Soul Reaper is a game-changer. This powerful skill transforms fallen heroes into devastating attacks, making Hero Wars Lyria one of the most unpredictable and lethal heroes in the Dominion. Whether you’re aiming to conquer the Arena or take down the Maestro boss in Asgard, this guide will help you unleash Lyria’s full potential.
Understanding the Lyria Soul Reaper Skill
At its core, Lyria Soul Reaper is all about harvesting power from the battlefield. Every time a hero—ally or enemy—falls, Lyria collects their soul. When you activate Soul Reaper, she opens a portal to the realm of the dead, summoning vengeful spirits.
The skill guarantees at least three spirit strikes, even if no souls have been collected. But here’s the kicker: for each collected soul, Lyria adds an extra spirit, up to a maximum of seven additional strikes. This means she can potentially unleash ten devastating hits in a single activation, focusing all attacks on the enemy with the lowest health. The more chaotic the battle, the stronger Lyria becomes.
How Souls Impact Lyria Soul Reaper
The number of spirits Lyria summons depends on the number of souls she has gathered. For example, if two allies and two enemies have fallen, she has four souls stored. When Soul Reaper activates, she’ll release the three guaranteed spirits plus four more from the collected souls, totaling seven hits.
Interestingly, Lyria can also generate souls through her third skill, Children of the Grave, which summons three spirits onto the battlefield. When these spirits are destroyed, they count as collected souls for Lyria Soul Reaper. So even without actual deaths in the fight, Lyria can increase her strike count just by using her own abilities.
Heroes Who Synergize With Lyria
To maximize the power of Lyria Soul Reaper, pair her with heroes who create expendable units or clones:
- Morrigan: Summons three undead skeletons; each destroyed skeleton grants Lyria a soul.
- Elmir: Creates 2–4 sand clones that last 12 seconds; destroyed or expired clones boost Lyria’s soul count.
- Mushy and Shroom: Generate a copy and inactive Spore Mushrooms that explode on full health, each providing Lyria a soul.
- Folio: Produces two copies for 20 seconds, each adding a soul when they disappear.
These combinations allow Lyria to snowball into an unstoppable force, making her a nightmare for opponents.
Boosting Lyria Soul Reaper’s Damage
Lyria Soul Reaper deals physical damage, which means her damage output scales with Physical Attack and Critical Hit bonuses. To boost her Physical Attack, surround her with heroes who provide team-wide buffs through their first artifacts, or use Nebula’s Equilibrium skill. Adding a war flag with the Physical Attack pattern or pairing her with Corvus will also increase her stats.
Lyria’s second skill alone grants her an extra 10,000 Physical Attack. However, to unlock critical hits, you’ll need heroes like Sebastian, Jet, Julius, Yasmine, or Jhu, who provide bonus Critical Hit chance, allowing Lyria’s attacks to deal double damage.
Real Battle Example and Damage Scaling
In battle tests, a five-star Lyria with partial upgrades dealt around 37,700 damage per strike. Assuming a fully maxed-out Lyria, you can estimate around 40,000 per hit. Without support, her three guaranteed hits deal about 120,000 total damage. With full synergy—ten strikes enhanced by Nebula, the war flag, and critical hits from Sebastian—Lyria can hit up to 260,000 physical damage plus 340,000 pure damage per strike, totaling an astonishing 600,000 per hit and up to 6 million damage overall.
Best and Worst Case Scenarios
- Worst Case: No support, three strikes → ~120,000 damage.
- Best Case: Ten strikes, Physical Attack buffs, critical hits, and pure damage → ~6 million total damage.
This wide damage range is what makes Lyria so thrilling to play — she can swing from modest hits to game-breaking bursts, depending on your team setup.
Final Thoughts: Why Lyria Soul Reaper Is a Game-Changer
Lyria Soul Reaper isn’t just another ultimate skill — it’s a powerhouse that can completely shift the momentum of battle. Whether you’re taking down tough Arena teams or facing the formidable Maestro boss in Asgard, mastering this skill and pairing Lyria with the right heroes can give you a massive competitive edge.
