BlizzCon 2015: New Heroes Cho’gall, Lunara, Greymane
by Magistrate - 8 years ago show comments
New Heroes of the Storm heroes were announced shortly into the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2015: Cho’gall, the first 2-player controlled hero, Lunara, and Greymane.
You can read more about the Heroes changes on the official post here.
Cho’gall
Cho’gall, adopted from the Warcraft universe, is probably the most interesting of the three new heroes. He’s controlled by two players simultaneously–one for each head. It was announced that all players with virtual tickets, physical tickets, and select other players will get the hero automatically this month.
If a player with Cho’gall plays the hero with another player as the other head for two games, the other player will receive Cho’gall. Additionally, if four games are played with another player with the hero, you will receive a “sack of gold” for Heroes.
Powerful, dangerous, insane—many words have been used to describe the Chieftain of the Twilight’s Hammer clan, and yet they still fail to truly capture Cho’gall’s madness. Armed with Cho’s might, Gall’s intellect, and the Hammer of Twilight, the two brothers now seek to continue their mad quest for power in the Nexus . . . provided that they can halt their incessant squabbling.
Cho’gall will be a unique addition to Heroes of the Storm who, for the first time ever, will allow two players to team up to control one Hero. Equipped with an impressive array of dark spells, and a brutish strength that can break even the most durable opponents, Cho’gall packs a whole lot more punch than the average contender brings to the Nexus. Provided that Cho and Gall manage to use their powers as one, the two-headed ogre will crush, burn, and blast apart anything that stands in their path.
Greymane
Greymane, king of Gilneas, was also adopted from the Warcraft universe. He can shift between his human and worgen form to devastating effect.
In light of the many tragedies that befell the people of Gilneas, Genn Greymane embraces his inner beast. He employs his bestial fervor and human tenacity in tandem to ensure the safety of the Alliance, rather than succumbing to the Worgen curse.
Greymane’s ability to quickly shapeshift between human and Worgen forms makes him a versatile and formidable threat in any combat situation. Whether firing from behind the lines of battle, dousing enemies in explosive Gilnean Cocktails, or pouncing fang-first into battle, the Lord of the Worgen will do what is necessary to protect all he holds dear. Those who threaten Greymane or his people would do well to fear the shadows, for they will undoubtedly meet their end at the vicious claws within.
Lunara
Lunara, a dryad, specializes in ranged attacks and using toxins for damage-over-time effects.
Most dryads are fierce protectors of the forest, preferring to spend their days keeping watch over the trees. Lunara, however, has ventured out of the woodlands she once called home, turning her ferocity—and her spears—toward any who would seek to exploit nature’s bounty.
Lunara is an agile ranged attacker who effortlessly bounds in and out of the fray, doling out the fury of the wilds without prejudice. Those who snap even one twig underfoot will quickly be met by a volley of twisted spears and afflicted by deadly, debilitating toxins that will make them easy prey. Once crippled by her poisons, enemies will be left with nothing from their encounter with Lunara, First Daughter of Cenarius, but a flash of hooves, the flicker of leaves, and the haunting memory of her distant laughter.
