== Design ==

= New Hero =

New Legion Strength Hero: Shellshock: Guardian of the Sanctuary Stone
+ Shellshock is a mobile support hero who thrives on initiating small skirmishes with his teammates. He is able to bring allies with him into battle using Rolling Thunder and makes escaping difficult for his enemies.
+ The young, naive Shellshock is the lone Quantula Guardian of the Sanctuary Stone, a relic of immense power that creates a perfect equilibrium of life and death, darkness and light. Forced to flee his sheltered homeland of The Luminary in order to protect the Sanctuary Stone, Shellshock is constantly bewildered by the bizarre, violent actions of man, beast, and daemon. Even more astonishing, however, is the ongoing discovery of his own tremendous power.

Shellshock Abilities

Fireflies

- Shellshock never travels alone, and can exhume these bioluminescent stowaways from the Luminary to light his path.
- Target a location to spawn a line of fireflies that lasts for 8 seconds. Each firefly provides vision in a small area around itself.
- Enemy units hit by the initial blast are dealt 60/90/120/150 Magic Damage. Enemy heroes who touch fireflies will be sighted.

* Range: 1600
* Radius: 250
* Manacost: 40
* Cooldown: 11/10/9/8 seconds

Rolling Thunder

- Curling into his shell, Shellshock rolls directly toward his enemy, picking up allies on the way.
- Target an enemy unit to roll toward them. Shellshock can pick up 1/2/3/4 ally heroes and 4/6/8/10 small allied units on the way, including Fireflies.
- Upon collision with an enemy hero, applies a 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 second Stun and 80/120/160/200 Magic Damage in a small area. Deals an extra 30 Magic Damage for each ally hero and 10 Magic Damage for each small ally unit picked up.

* Range: 1200
* Impact Radius: 300
* Manacost: 120
* Cooldown: 16 seconds

Sanctuary Stone

- The sacred stone from the Luminary imbues Shellshock with both the protective and destructive forces of Newerth.
- Passively grants 2/3/4/5 Magic Armor to yourself and nearby allies, and applies -2/-3/-4/-5 Magic Armor to nearby enemies.
- On death, drops a Sanctuary Stone which can be picked up, granting the owner the current power of this ability for 30 seconds.

* Aura Radius: 600

Luminous Tether

- Shellshock's shell generates a viscous fluid that can contain his enemies in a single location. Should they stretch this fluid too far, it will snap, damaging them and any units around them.
- Activate to deal 120/180/240 Magic Damage to nearby enemy units and cover them in luminescent slime.Luminous Tether will slowly pull enemies back to their starting position.
- If an enemy pulls the tether too far, it will snap, dealing 120/180/240 Magic Damage to them and applying a tapering 80% Movement Speed Slow. Deals 60/90/120 Magic Damage to enemies by the affected target.

* Radius: 400
* Manacost: 100150/200
* Cooldown: 100/90/80 seconds

New Debut EditionShellshock Avatar: Crochetshock
- This soft and snuggly snail was made for young Prince Jeraziah by the monks of the Shao Temple to console the homesick lad, and now the incredible power of the Sanctuary Stone has infused it with a life force brimming with love and compassion for her Prince and his Legion. She is more than happy to share a hug, but if anyone tries to harm her friends they will quickly find out her stuffed, enchanted shell can bring a sharp and thunderous punishment.

New Shellshock Avatar: Ol' Packsnail
- The Ol' Packsnail has been wandering Newerth for centuries, gathering damaged trinkets, seedlings, and critters to take back to his home in The Luminary so they can benefit from the power of the Sanctuary Stone. As he travels he spreads his salvaged collectibles across the map wherever they are needed to restore the ecosystem's natural balance, and though some may lament his seemingly lackadaisical pace, the Ol' Packsnail knows whenever he arrives, it's just in time.

= Songkran =

New Songkran Set Effect
- If you own Songkran Blitz, Songkran Disciple, Songkran Athena, Songkran Archer, and Songkran Hestia, each avatar will gain a festive pool of cleansing water and beautiful flowers beneath their feet!

New Songkran Holiday EditionBlitz Avatar: Songkran Blitz
- Songkran Blitz is ready to celebrate the new year by bringing the water festival to everyone in Newerth and we mean everyone! She's a blur of pure joy and merit-making as she dashes from town to town, cleansing away the bad luck and spreading blessings for a great year. Please join in the celebration and help her fling the pure waters and spirit of renewal across the map! Happy Songkran Newerth!

New Songkran Holiday EditionCorrupted Disciple Avatar: Songkran Disciple
- Songkran Disciple is out to show all of the other Disciples out there (particularly those obsessed with corruption and evil) that now is the perfect time to renew themselves with the cleansing waters of this joyous holiday! Join him in bringing in the purifying tide to wash away the sins and bad luck of the past with water balloons and soaking splashes! Even the most devoted Corrupted Disciples will have a good time!

New Songkran Holiday EditionDemented Shaman Avatar: Songkran Athena
- Even though Athena is a goddess, the constant application of wisdom, courage, and war strategy amidst all these dense mortals can be exhausting. It's time for a vacation! For centuries, she has heard about the joyous celebration of Songkran, and the idea of cleansing away the bad luck and burdens of the previous year sounds like exactly what she needs before diving back into her work of fighting for justice across Newerth. Everyone at the festival had better be prepared, because the goddess of war is on her way with a vast arsenal of water and the ability to summon an entire storm!

New Songkran Holiday EditionForsaken Archer Avatar: Songkran Archer
- In a land that has been forsaken for far too long, Songkran Archer is thrilled and honored to zip around the map on her personal watercraft through the cleansing waters of the Songkran Festival, spreading celebration of the new year. She carries with her a sincere respect for every elder she encounters (especially those who are waaaay elder, like Athena and Hestia) and a high-powered squirtgun that is powerful enough to blast even the most stubborn bad luck back into last year.

New Songkran Holiday EditionGravekeeper Avatar: Songkran Hestia
- While Hestia is traditionally the recipient of the first offerings during celebrations, when she joins the Songkran Festival she is honored to prepare food for the elders and pour water over their hands to show respect. She also helps people clean their houses, for an orderly home and hearth is an excellent way to enter the new year. When that is done and the festival moves into the streets, however, she is more than happy to douse her fellow celebrants with copious amounts of water to help them wash themselves of their sins and bad luck!

= Zodiac =

New ZodiacNight Hound Avatar: Ferocious Leo
- Hercules was rightfully wary when Leo the Nemean Lion descended from the heavens with a supposed desire to help the Legion, but after countless battles in which the ferocious beast decimated Hellbourne daemons and helped turn the tide against the forces of corruption, Hercules was more than convinced. He commissioned the elite City of Iron blacksmiths to forge a set of weapons and armor worthy of Leo's bravery and commitment, then presented the new kit himself, honoring his new comrade as a true hero and friend.

Heroes of Newerth Patch 2.6.21 Client Download | HoN 2.6.21 Patch Notes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:44:00 +0000

Heroes OF Newerth 2.6.21 Patch Notes:-

== New Content ==

- Added new Early Access Hero: Solstice
* Among the tribes of the moon, there lives an elite caste of warriors. Like Krixi, the Moon Queen, these women draw their power from the rays of Lunari. As children of the Moon Goddess, the rays of Sol burn their flesh and forces them to construct a vessel to channel Lunari's might during the day. The magicks used were so potent that only a chosen warrior, born in perfect balance between light and darkness, could harness its vast power by being forever bonded to her armor. The armor serves as a disguise to men and beasts who would would take advantage of her during the day, masking both her power and gender. In the night, the chosen can retake her true form and strike from the shadows, free from her confining shell. Be it through strength by day or stealth by night, Solstice, the Lady of Lunari, stands ready to show her enemies what power truly is.

* Solstice changes her role from a more tanky, team-fight presence during the day, to an agile ganker during the night. Look for ways to setup your ultimate from outside of enemy's vision range in order to deal the maximum damage!

- Added new Limited Edition Early Access Solstice Alt Avatar: Mr. Tickles
* In the darkened streets of the City of Iron, there are rumors of a killer stalking the women of Newerth. This insidious predator hides behind a veneer of gentlemanly graciousness in the evening hours and truly despises the actions that he must take to quell the horrific urges that tear at the back of his mind. The promise of relief led the brilliant, deranged man to craft a potion to heal himself. While it took away the urge to kill, it transformed him into a brute during the day, desperately striving for acceptance, but attacked by the townsfolk who see and fear him as a Hellbourne demon. With neither day nor night to bring him respite all he can do is laugh. And the last things his victims will ever hear is, "Don't worry, this will just tickle a bit..."

- Added new Premium Solstice Alt Avatar: Duel
* The Justicar had tracked the Assassin for weeks and finally had found his lair. Alone, he should have called for assistance, but he could not risk letting the demonborn bastard escape yet again. As he entered the building the full moon in the night sky began to be eclipsed, a once in a millennium event. The Justicar broke down the door, surprising the brutal killer as he prepared his blade. The assassin fled for the rooftops to escape, but the lawman bore down on him swiftly. On the roof of the building they locked into combat. In a fair fight the Justicar had the advantage of reach and armor and quickly cut the assassin down. He barely noticed the small nick from the assassin's blade on his cheek. The poison went quickly to work and although the half-demon lay dieing next to him, the Justicar fell to his knees, gasping for air. Both warriors fought to hold on to the last vestiges of life, but it faded from them just as the moon became fully eclipsed. As their souls sought release at that exact same moment, they became entwined in one another, and the neither Heaven nor Hell would grant them access. Forced back to Newerth the found themselves alive once again, but just as their souls had intertwined, so had their bodies. With the Justicar in charge in the day and the Assassin at night, they will forever be in conflict, Dual selves locked in an eternal Duel.

"As part of our continuous efforts to make the HoN gaming experience better, we set out to improve our Free-to-Play rotation and Hero unlocking model. After careful deliberation and tremendous feedback and suggestions from our community, we have come to what we all truly believe to be the best solution for enhancing the HoN experience for every one of our players. We are extremely grateful to all of our dedicated players for helping us take this massive step forward, and look forward to all of you joining us in the celebration of HoN’s natural evolution from Free-to-Play to Free-to-Own.
