Heroes of the Storm - Lunara Brings Nature's Wrath To The Nexus

hots-lunara

Heroes of the Storm has bolstered their roster with another fey folk (much to my delight) with the appearance of Lunara the Daughter of Cenarius. Her Javelin-chucking Assassin playstyle and visuals rekindle memories of DoTA's Enchantress and League of Legends' Twitch and Cassiopea—as she uses Nature's Toxin to wither down her opponents over time.

She doesn't have a mount since she IS her own mount, making her move 20% faster than the standard in movement speed. Her Q ability is called "Noxious Blossom" which blooms with deadly pollen after a short delay to deal damage to enemies in a small AoE. Crippling Spores (W) take advantage of targets already inflicted with Nature's Toxin by taking root and slowing them. Her last last normal ability Wisp (E) adds some utility as she sends a Wisp to scout an area, with various upgrades available through talents.

Her Heroic Abilities are all charged based. Thornwood Vine can hold 3 and deals heavy damage in a line. Leaping Strike can hold 2 and is one of the most fun abilities I've had to play with. Fitting her visuals she leaps with grace over an enemy as she rains death from above to deal massive damage.

Lunara is currently on sale due to the Winter Sale and you can pick up her bundle that includes a Sentinel Skin for 55% off. You can check out her official page here.
