Hero Wars | The Absolute Best Tank? Astaroth Tier List Discussion!

[@prairiedogs001]

You know, regardless of whether you give the best information, you have a good voice for this, quality content, and a friendly demeanor. Good job!

[@JL-gh4jy]

Yeah, the quality and pacing of Charlie’s videos is what kept me on his channel as a new player.

[@diogopereira2673]

His devastation ability is most of the times disrespected by lower lvl players. Asta can be kind of squishy early on, but late on the game its definetly the best tank for most of the teams. The fact that most times his abilities cant be seen in kind of damage makes ppl forget about the tremendous utility he brings to any team.

[@thomasfranz8722]

He is best used in a magic based team, since he benefits from additional magic damage provided by the others weapons. Furthermore his shield and 3rd ability compensates the lack of armors on your mages

[@ima7333]

I love Astaroth the best. He’s absolutely awesome helped get me thru the tower everyday without fail

[@greenpizza2819]

same even though i recklessly level up

[@danieljoung5398]

So good to see how much better quality this video is compared to your older astaroth video

[@OwlFilms1]

I love astaroth, definitely the best tank for me. His barb skin is so powerful

[@rickysusanto5464]

I love astaroth.. The first time I know that he has resurrection, I know that he is the most useful one.. :)

[@TheToowex]

Yes!! Me too! He was the first hero I promoted to violet rank because of the resurrection skill!

[@kevinli6790]

Galahad: More about damage and doesnt support his team that much Ziri: Really hard to kill but reveals her second line Asta: Great support, tank, makes his team really strong Cleaver: Does damage and reveals the back line, is also probably the tankiest and hardest to kill tank Rufus: Really great for anti-mage teams

[@s.icysmooth1538]

Nice comment. I completely agree with u

[@CarpeNoctem0917]

Not a fan of Ziri or the other one like her that burrows into the ground as it leaves the rest of your team undefended and easier to be destroyed while she is underground.

[@greenminer712]

How about Luther and Aurora? Pls share your thought

[@maruthimaruthi3720]

Which combo is better between (karkh faceless) & (karkh Kai) How about (karkh faceless and Kai together).?

[@Cancertrain]

Early and midgame, wasn't feeling good about Asta. As I close in on 120 though, I'm very glad I stuck with him over Galahad or Ziri.

[@cman9456]

Definitely the most versatile tank to choose from. Maybe not the strongest in every case, but fits so many teams that he's a must to level.

[@brentmakey9376]

thanx for the videos. your series helps new people like me that have zero clue what artifacts to waste stuff on first and so forth

[@adymax84]

I'm working to get him to absolute star, need 33 more at this time! I have his Devil skin because increases his magic attack, all his skills are based on that

[@emoore06905]

Asta is one of my main guys, especially when Morrigan isn't in the picture. I'll pull him for Keira if I need more damage, but generally he plays.

[@romerlausa7805]

Can put Asteroth on any team. Time out team, mage team, physical team, campaign, can help glass cannon character survive to deal more damage. My fave tank ever. Has the coolest skin too, his magic atk skin 😍

[@abhishek7789]

I regret going with Gal as my tank, but now that my karkh team has sort of stabilized with gal, I'm starting to work on astartoth to replace him

[@ragingturnip7854]

Great video as always. I didn't like him initially, but I took your advice ages ago and I'm glad I did. I can't think of a better tank and water bottle is where he belongs.

[@justkoz4180]

Astaroth is great at burning up enemy energy and nullifying incoming damage, like Charlie said though, very squishy until he gets built up.

[@StevenBSuper]

I understand the priority of glyphs, but should you wait until you have 40/40 of one to move on to another? Same thing for skins. His Barbarian skin now takes 790 stones to level up each time and that takes forever to accrue. Should I level up the default skin in the meantime or wait to level up the barbarian skin?

[@mmfc6]

Could you explain why you would invest in armor, health or strength before magic attack. It is magic attack that determines how many points are restored by Last Word.

[@freman007]

Armour reduces the damage he takes, health increases the damage he can take, I recall hearing that strength also increases health. There's only two heroes who do magic attack with their auto attack so most of the time Astaroth is sucking up physical damage. Hence armour, health, strength, magic attack.

[@angies.8322]

Oh man....I'm so glad I subscribe to your channel. So much helpful information!

[@isaacortigoza3241]

Please, we need videos of "WHo is Celeste, Cleaver, and Jet? "

[@TheToowex]

Yes! I'm looking for Celeste video

[@3Dogs1CatandMore]

I have Astaroth as tank on my magic team and Galahad as tank on my phyiscal team. I am debating on which tank (among Rufus (54), Luther(45), Ziri (46), Ishmael (22) ) to level up (Team level 81 right now) as third tank.

[@JimH.]

Ishmael isn't a tank.

[@articarcher3769]

The energy burn skill that he has is easily overlooked. While trying to find ways to deal with magic teams I tried Cornelius for hit special murder caster skill. However due to him being in the back, Astaroth stole his energy and he could barely use this skill. For most teams this would be martha never or rarely boosting the teams attack speed.

[@amritxan]

Just chcking if there is a counter to Asta's last word skill. Can celeste's curse which blocks healing counter resurrection as well?

[@glennhaworth9980]

So as my Dad used to say “Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one.” I say this as another way of your comment about everyone having an opinion (1:30). Your dig at my favorite Hero (Galahad) was hurtful. LOL!

[@petegutana3241]

Who is 2nd best tank, in your opinion, that can fit in 94% of the teams? Cleaver?

[@icehockeylover189]

I 100% agree...however, in my opinion, there doesn't seem to be much point and sinking resources into his blue lvl ability. The benefit vs cost doesn't seem worth it as opposed to using that gold and ability points towards something more substantial...what are your thoughts? To me, an additional .1% damage reduction per increase, is negligible...if you've got extra money and ability points laying around; sure, otherwise...meh.

[@jonsenrendler4131]

Charlie: No other hero in the game has a hero revive. And definitly none of the tanks have one! Rufus: Am I a joke to you?

[@ac9384]

Charlie: Yes you are Rufus, yes you are.

[@browniegames865]

Wouldnt armor skin then magic attack skin be better since all his helping skills, go off his magic attack?

[@DWTraderThai]

you have to trade off but i invest the armor first

[@browniegames865]

@@DWTraderThai yea im doing armor first but i figured magic attack would help the whole team and astorath over just magic defense for just astorath.

[@janieljamesdequito9082]

how did you absoluted all stars of all heoes?

[@fantasytp]

I have a question, some hero's auto attack makes the opponent stun for maybe a second, how dose this happen?

[@raiselpena703]

Astaroth is one of my fav tanks! Thanks for the video :)

[@TheMarkaay]

How long will it take to get all astaroth soul stones from the heroic missions?

[@professoryodaphd]

Still working on asta. Made the mistake of dumping everything into galahad because he's a damaging meat shield.

[@freman007]

For me Galahad is the secondary tank who sits behind Astaroth, but charges to the front to take some of the weight off Astaroth. He's also a fair DPS character. Galahad is also good when you have an enemy Faceless or similar that moves Astaroth to the rear of the party. Normally that would reveal your squishy second line. Galahad says, "You what, bruh?"

[@joshbenson642]

Astaroth is my main man, liked his look right off the bat, and made good early investments in him. Doing well for me!! Thanks for all you do, Charlie!

[@NonameForFun]

Thanks for the vid. For me it is Astaroth as well! But after that Cleaver or Ziri work very good but situational

[@bataglia]

Perfect on tower, perfect on Campaign, probably one of the best in arenas... my fav tank aswell

[@gilbatzri]

Morrigan teams neutralize him, in my experience. Or maybe I am not running in to really buffed versions of him, but I smash him, and don't even think about him in the context of "do I need to worry about him" when picking a team to fight.

[@cabron2195]

What is the best team for Astaroth ? I Use Galahad , quing mao , keira and thea. But i feel lik thats not the best team for him

[@littlebakos]

I prefer him to be my first tank which reach absolute star because his soul stones available from 4 campaign quest in early game. His resurrect skill is amazing, somebody get a 2nd chance on the field. He can't damage a lot, but he only need to survive and protect other allies (absorbing shield, damage transferring to him, energy burning). My 2nd favourite tank is Galahad. He can do a lot of damage and available from the beginning like Astaroth :) Maybe one day i finally unlock Cleaver, because i prefer physical teams and other tanks don't fit to them.

[@freman007]

He's very durable. He can resurrect one member of your party once (usually himself). He creates shields that makes your entire party more tanky. If there's a tier list he's tier zero, and the only reason you work on other tanks is because you can't take three Astaroths into the Grand Arena.

[@KevinShmelvin]

his shield sucks. i dont know why everyone keeps praising it. is there some sort of calculation that im not aware of. his shield only blocks physical attacks and the shield has a total health of 30k when the basic attack of any physical attack hero is over 50k. He should have a shield on par with Rufus shield ability which is 300k around 10 times that of Astaroth. i think his shield ability is the worst in the game. its gone as soon as he casts it.

[@jeffreycai2165]

can I go cleaver with krista? hard to tell how good cleaver is, cant even get him. :( if i go twins without tank what would the 5 meta be?

[@desiwilliams2696]

Have you seen anybody using Cleaver, Qing Mao, Arachne, Jhu and Martha? Just thinking that with Cleaver grabbing the last hero up and with Qing Mao and Arachne hitting or stunning the front line and Jhu attacking the rear might be a ok team. My Jhu is not strong enough for me to try this team out right now and no one on the server I'm on uses Jhu that much.

[@jon0105]

I love Astaroth as well so good as a tank. Thanks for the upgrade help.

[@timothymagnusson4861]

Didn't you put up this video a few days ago?

[@zebpsychos]

Been rockin Astaroth since the beggining. Looked the coolest, now realize he's a beast.

[@squid8616]

Totally agree with this. Astaroth is the best tank in the game. He kinda sucks below violet, bit once you get him there and unlock his revive he really starts to shine

[@yeiwahchungming424]

Thanks for info again looking forward for ur live stream later

[@CarpeNoctem0917]

He definitely is. He's my favorite tank as he can heal himself when he's about to die, giving Martha a chance to hit her limit before he dies.

[@ChandeepSinghBhulli]

Bro which team best for Khark team ?

[@maskedriderweaver4122]

Astaroth is all right, but it takes a while for him to be full power. His flame veil is nice, but a single group attack skill will do heavy damage if not outright destroy it.

[@anichols752]

Do you still have Aurora in dead battery? So not true, at least on mobile! She's very anti magic like Rufus, but carries more utility and the dodge is underrated

[@hailuntan9284]

What about cleaver? Is he better than Astaroth?

[@GarudAtma]

Astaroth's last word skill is very-very useful

[@toast4life658]

i think ziri is a strong tank but you need a high health hero behind her so she can burrow and heal

[@HamDalf]

I would have expected you to go stop sign considering he is fundamentally defensive. I would that he is the best tank, but I have not played with cleaver or chabba or Ziri, though. I don’t think he is ever a bad idea. It just surprises me that he is basically universally necessary.

[@mmfc6]

Hah! you said it! And you caught yourself and said it anyway!

[@kovkou1]

Hey guys, I leveled do lvl 50 and after that my Astaroth started failing in arena really fast. I fight usually with teams that have 3-4k total power less than me and they always beat me. I have all his skills maxed out, he is 3 star at the moment and is on purple level. The oposit team, despite the lower power always keeps him way longer. Do you know where might be the problem?

[@JL-gh4jy]

Did you figure it out? Sounded like a synergy issue at the time.

[@grantsears7059]

Ast is probably the best tank but he can pull you in multiple directions with Mdef, armor, and magic attack. Celeste can be an effective counter to his resurrect in GW/CSW.

[@koronatos]

hello charlie i dont know where to post my question, so here it is in case u read it and decide to respond Is Lars or Orion better as a pure magical damage dealer (set utility aside)

[@gilbatzri]

I have more problems with a highly buffed Orion than I do a highly buffed Lars (without Krista) Single Hero, I give Orion the nod, but L/K if equal to Orion are more effective because of their synergy. But DOH team of equal strength I think gets the nod over L/K. Hard to evaluate singly, because you don't really play any hero alone.

[@blackbway]

The only place I stopped using Astaroth is in Outland against Borg because he immune to to most of his damage.

[@thomashaggard5702]

Need that Kai skin bad. Keep up the good work

[@slysd]

Thanks for the breakdown

[@nicoromano8491]

I guess I gave up on hi too early or got wooed by other flashier/newer tanks. Maybe I should go back and bring him back up.

[@Antagonopolis]

Astaroth is like a knife... you may not like knives in general, but you defly gotta have one in the house

[@jordanwolfe607]

Love the devil skin. Kinda want it just for the aesthetic

[@gilbatzri]

Corvus/Morrigan neutralizes Asteroth pretty effectively with my team. because his resurrect is canceled, and I generally can defeat him even at fairly substantial level difference, because his damage is low (in my experience) I place him a tiny bit behind Corvus because I like a bit more damage output. He falls into 2 or 3 on my tanks list, I am leaning towards #2 fairly strongly in front of Luther because Luther's primary pulls him out of the front line, and unless he is substantially more powerful that the team he is fighting (which he is never in my experience because he is on my 2 or possibly 3 GA team) he fires his primary, and opens the team to frontline attack. (but my #3 team NEVER wins in GA, it's always the sacrifice so I don't have a good feel for performance, same for my L/K, they are improving, but always get smashed in GA, so it's tough to evaluate.) Much appreciate the info as always, you are a great resource. My war team is Corvus/Yasmine, Morrigan, Celeste and usually Helios for Auto or with Faceless or Alvenor depending on context, sometimes with another warrior for high damage situations (Bob or Qing or Maya) All these are my highest buffed heroes, with Corv and Yas being #1/#2 with the most resources being invested. If I spot my fights I can beat teams 20 levels higher and 1+ color higher, if I don't spot my fights I can usually beat +5 levels in Arena. I'd love your thoughts on this team configuration. I have been toying with adding Phobos, because Morrigan benefits him, but I will need to invest pretty substantially to bring him to equivalent power, and my research has indicated he isn't worth the investment to slot in, and I would need to pull a hero that I rely on to fit him. For pet I am using Oliver, but working on Axel when they are equal, I will probably use Axel for this team.

[@alexanderamaya3850]

At first I was like idk if he's worthy now I use him like all the time lol his designer it's super cool too

[@jeffdaman6969]

I just started this game not too long ago and I use him but he seems really squishy to me. Maybe I need to lvl him up better.

[@jeffdaman6969]

a s Dude, thanks so much for this. I really appreciate it

[@zenithkandel]

i use galahad as my second tank /damage dealer. Works for me

[@frontbattles8090]

Maybe early later it makes no sense

[@lukebailiff880]

I haven't heard many people argue against Astaroth. He's liked for a reason. Agree on the water bottle tier

[@tribalwolf99]

I really appreciate when you help with the mobile platform. I'm still trying to figure out who I want as my main team. Asteroth, has been off and on. I think at the level I am. He is okay... I just hit level 83.

[@gctrails]

Thanks Charlie!

[@singleasasin]

Thank you for making this clip 👍👍👍 My opinion regarding Astaroth is similar to yous, also : Astaroth is the best tank hero !

[@shankar2film]

Is this for mobile or fb! Please mention on title.

[@freman007]

Both.

[@Barbaricdave]

AST is by far my favorite tank glad he works for me as well is he does and I found the bob team works well on my server for my level really good

[@joes3800]

I agree with everything you said, but he's not my favorite because he is too squishy UNLESS you invest a lot to build him up. It also bothers me that he does very little damage (but if he did he would be OP, so I get it.) That said, I am trying to build him up to make him as useful as you say he is (and that I've seen on other teams!)

[@minidragbike]

I agree, he is in my opinion the top tank in the game as far as tanking abilities. I use him with my Karkh team. Galahad is most fast pace physical damage tank, and Cleaver is in the middle of them both. JUST MY OPINION 😏

[@aryonelmers9602]

My premier tank!! Love Astaroth!

[@joshuajennings9250]

Just got my Astaroth to absolute star! He is all around a great tank. Burn enemy energy, shield, and let’s not forget the revive...you can’t get more utility.

[@Apollo-Computers]

I still kinda new to the game, most of time in arena my Martha and Celeste do no healing and I just don't get why not. Astaroth is about 25k power and he still dies so quickly. Plus alot of teams run Celeste so is cancels out astaroths rez

[@gilbatzri]

Morrigan is the only hero that cancels the resurrect. Celeste can counter healing. (unless I am misundertanding) You need to buff them more, and level them up, the heal is based on Magic Attack I believe.

[@Apollo-Computers]

@@gilbatzri I quit playing, but astaroths rez is considered a heal, so if Celeste on enemy team has the heal blocker thing down under you, astaroths rez don't work

[@TheToowex]

I'm a new player on mobile...I got free Lunar skin so I didn't use strength skin stone to buy Barb skin after I collected 5000 of them over time (maybe three weeks!), I use it for something else :P...I got Lunar skin very early on when I just played the game so I wasn't sure how........LOL

[@Nightwalker170]

Asta is best when paired with Faceless because sadly Faceless make MUCH better use of Astaroth's ult. Astaroth's ability to resurrect a hero once per fight usually gets used by himself, and he dies soon after. Personally I'd take Aurora hands down. She can be a bit expensive resource wise, but she's worth it.

[@diego.alcantara.rosario]

Astaroth is a great tank, useful in K'hark, Keira and Twins teams

[@robertogerardi9646]

His resurrection ability is insane!

[@phongle-wj8un]

Thank you!

[@dwarman]

So true Charlie! Astaroth is best tank by far! :)

[@morganlaleure8037]

The best, depend on the whole team, but the most popular at high level, 100% accurate

[@mijjarom]

Thanks!

[@raksama2870]

Yeah , he is the best ❤️

[@alfonsoriverabass]

I think it might be a little weak against Celeste, because of cursed flames and the asta resurrect ability
