Engineer and Forsaken Archer

Two new agility heroes have been added to the game: Forsaken Archer and Engineer.
Heroes of Newerth fans have been spam picking these new heroes in joy since last nights patch, and for good reason.

Not only do these heroes look incredibly cool, but they are also extremely good.
Forsaken Archer is a cold hearted ranged hero, who has spells similar to Medusa and Wind-runner from DotA.

The Dwarven technician, Engineer, has influence from previous savage games and that of Techies from DotA aswell.

You can view the spells and statistics of each of these new heroes by clicking on their portraits below, or by heading over to the Heroes section.

Soul Reaper Hits 9k damage

The other day one of our visitors commented on our Soul Reaper hero page.
This comment basically stated that Soul Reaper’s ultimate (Demonic Execution) worked on Kongor.
Intrigued we tried it out and it worked.

What this means
-With a Soul Reaper on your team it will take half the time to kill Kongor.

-Soul Reaper’s Ultimate is now the highest damage dealing spell in the game reaching excess of 9k damage (even more with Staff of the Master)

Should it be fixed or was this intentional?
We think this is a bug, it’s implication is fairly huge, making it possible to kill Kongor in under 10 seconds with a reasonably leveled team. Making the dangerous task of killing Kongor, while watching your backside, a breeze.

In terms of fair play and balancing we think Soul Reaper ’s ultimate should be corrected as to not deal damage to Kongor.

Either way, whether this “bug” is intentional or an accident, Heroes of Newerth player’s will prioritize Soul Reaper over other heroes as to give their team the advantage.

First look at Wretched Hag

A couple of days ago patch 0.1.39 was released.
The patch contained several bug fixes and enhancements, but… most importantly, two NEW heroes which we are very excited about.
Today were going to have a look at Wretched Hag the DOTA equivalent of Akasha.
Wretched Hag

The Spells

Haunt
Flash of Darkness
Sonar Scream
Bat Blast
Wretched Hag’s spells and stats are statistically similar to Akasha’s.
Akasha Spells and Stats
Wretched Hag Spells and Stats

What does this Wretched Hag look like ?

Wretched Hag looks nothing like his counterpart Akasha, she is a crooked  lantern carrying frog-witch, that  emanates a mellow purple aura. Akasha on the other hand is the female equivalent of Bat Man…
At first we kinda liked the evil looking hag, reminiscent of Warlock from DOTA. It was obvious alot of work had been put into creating the model’s aesthetics.
However after we played a few games we thought the model didn’t suit her style of play, which is blinking in an out of battles, casting a frenzy of spells and auto attacking enemies to their pitiful graves of wtfpwnedness. Her general movement and attack animation feels like she would have been more suited to a caster type of role, boring and slow.
Wretched Hag


Akasha

How does she handle against other heroes in HoN ?

From the games we have played as Wretched Hag, we have found her to balance  well amongst and against the other heroes in HoN. She is a great ganker early and mid game, but her usefulness started to decline as the game went on into the later stages where we found she was better served as a lane PUSHER/DEFENDER.
Players facing the Wretched Hag are able to defend against her burst damage with Shamans Headress. Being as cheap as it is (2150 gold), its a ready buy for her opponents.

Overall likes and dislikes

We Like

• Spell animations
• The fact that she is an EXACT port of Akasha statistically
• How she balances well in HoN

We dislike

• The model is more suited to a support hero
• Similarity between the “backpack thing” she wears and electrician’s “backpack thing”
