The Archdemon is one of the many bosses the player faces off against in campaigns in Hero Wars, primarily in Chapters 1 and 8, as well as in the Dominion's Birthday event.
Appearance[]
The Archdemon is a large, red, muscular demon, standing 3-4 times the size of a normal human. He wears a black loincloth with a skull on the front, and also carries a mace covered in golden fire crystals. The Archdemon possesses claws on his hands and feet, as well as a large pair of white horns on his head. He also has a full six-pack, forward facing eyes that are burning yellow, and a "mane" that is made of the same crystal on his mace. The Archdemon also has tattered shredded wings that are capable of flight.
Personality[]
The Archdemon has the typical personality of most demons; ruthless and destructive. He terrorizes the dominion and often goes on rampages by commanding his demonic army to burn entire villages down, killing multiple people in the process. He hates the Guardians for defeating him each time and interfering with his plans, and has tried multiple times to kill them. He also likes to resort to petty tricks to annoy them, such as stealing the Dominion cake during the annual celebration. Archdemon bears a particular grudge against Astaroth for impersonating him and stealing away Lilith.
Biography[]
The Archdemon was born in Hell, and was a promising warrior. He also secretly liked a fellow demoness, Lilith, but when Astaroth took on his appearance to jilt her, he became very angry, but couldn't do anything about it since he couldn't travel to heaven.
Filled with spite, the Archdemon commanded his entire demonic army to take over the Dominion. He succeeded in burning several towns down and causing people a lot of terror, but the Guardians of the Dominion would often try to save the people and fight him and his forces. The Guardians succeeded in defeating him multiple times.
During the Dominion's annual celebration, each year Archdemon tries to steal the celebration's cake, but failed each time because the Guardians fought him long enough to steal it back when he was distracted.
Gameplay[]
Archdemon is the boss in Chapters 1 and 8, and has two types of attacks, his basic attack, and his ability known as "Firestorm". The basic attack deals physical damage to the player's frontline heroes, but Firestorm deals a lot of magic damage to the entire team, which makes him rather tricky to deal with in Chapter 8.
However, like most bosses in the game, he can be easily countered by single-target disablers like Phobos or Yasmine. Bringing mages with magic defense glyphs into the fight will also help. He can also be silenced, which prevents him from using the Firestorm skill.
During the Happy Birthday, Dominion event, Archdemon will get stronger and have more health each time you defeat him, as the main objective is to deal as much damage to him as possible before time runs out or he kills your whole team. It is advised to check the ranking to see what team the top player uses, and copy exactly what team they use.
