The Hero is a Legendary support with one of the few fully disclosed release abilities. Hero Blessing applies a damage buff to all Physical units in range, increasing by 5% with each upgrade. Its real strength depends on how many meaningful Physical attacks stay inside the aura.
Unit lookup
How to use the unit
Place the carries first, then position The Hero where its range catches the highest-value Physical units. Do not distort the whole defense to fit a weak aura. Upgrade only when the next 5% applied across the covered units creates more team damage than upgrading one carry directly.
Build and test checklist
- Check the Physical tag instead of guessing by animation.
- Count how many upgraded carries stay in range.
- Compare team damage before and after each support upgrade.
- Use Optics only if extra range captures another important unit.
Quick answers
Does The Hero buff Magic units?
The disclosed ability specifies Physical units. Treat other damage types as unaffected unless the live tooltip changes.
When is The Hero not worth a slot?
When only one low-investment Physical unit receives the aura, or when the map forces carries too far apart.
