Astaroth is a great tank, one of the most popular and in demand in the game. There are a huge number of packs with him, which is proof of his versatility. Regardless of whether the pack is magical or physical, Astaroth fits in well with most of them. And his support skills are a great addition, which doesn’t stop him from playing his main role in any way.

Tips on the Astaroth
Skills Upgrade
In order not to waste gold (which will later be lacking) on unnecessary abilities, it is recommended to pump the following skills:
Flame Shield – Does not swing. The shield does not allow you to accumulate energy. The strength of the shield itself is enough for 1-2 hits. Useless ability that doesn’t cost gold.
Emptying – Swings at about the later stages of the game (closer to level 130). Not recommended to swing it until level 130.
Demonic Contract – Swings in priority.
The Last Word – Swings in Priority
Skins
The Barbaric Shape 
is swung first for armor.
The second swings the Cybernetic Mode 
on health.
Swings the Basic 
one for strength.
Useless Skins
Do not spend Stones of Power on the Demonic Cloak 
and
Oriental Cloak 
.
Both of these guises give Astaroth an unnecessary Magical Attack, which is a minimal bonus. It does not justify itself in terms of cost. Roll them only when all the guises in the main packs are already pumped.
Symbols
The priority of character improvement is as follows:
1. Armor
2. Health
3. Strength
4. Protection from Magic
5. Magical Attack
This symbol only swings when all the main characters of all packs are maxed. Like the skins, the symbol for Magical Attack gives too small an increase to the Astaroth.
Artifacts
– Swings to 3 stars, after that you should swing the second artifact. Swings last in the last turn.
– Swings in priority after the first artifact gets 3 stars.
– Swings after the second artifact.
Conclusion
Astaroth is a magnificent tank. In order for him to show himself to the maximum, it is imperative to get the Barbarian guise on armor. If you’re just starting to play Hero Wars, Astaroth is a great choice. He’ll do well in the Arena, Grand Arena, Campaign, and Tower. Absolutely versatile tank. The fact that you should not swing all the abilities at once, will only give you a plus in terms of gold.
