Update 1.5.0 introduces an incredible new hero, Fortress, & two new items, adds more cards & skins, improves the early-player experience and brings much-desired balance changes. Have fun diving into all this!


NEW HERO


This Halcyon Well guardian is a snarling, frightening sight in the jungle. He stalks prey, closes in with teammates, flanks targets and creates challenging, multi-front confrontations. Stay near your allies and bite and claw your way to kills.

Read the lore:

Fortress will be unlockable with ICE only for the first 7 days. Afterward, you will be able to unlock Fortress with ICE or Glory.


Abilities

Packmates
Slot: Heroic Perk

When Fortress is near an allied hero, he will move faster after 1s. He will maintain this move-speed bonus so long as he's alongside any allied hero.

Truth of the Tooth
Slot: A

Fortress lunges at his target and marks it, granting allied heroes increased move speed and lifesteal towards his target.

Law of the Claw
Slot: B

Fortress claws his target, causing it to bleed for several seconds.
  • After receiving 6 basic attacks from Fortress and his allies, the target is dealt a burst of damage based on its maax health and receives mortal wound (reduced healing).
  • Overdrive: At max rank, the burst of damage additionally slows the target by 40%.
  • Bleeding damage per second: 10 (+15% crystal power)

Attack of the Pack
Slot: C

Fortress summons a pack of wolves. Each pack wolf seeks out a different enemy hero.
  • It takes three separate attacks to kill a pack wolf.
  • Wolves apply bleeding with their basic attacks.
  • Wolves take normal damage from abilities and are granted 20% of Fortress' bonus defensive stats.
  • Fortress gains fortified health and attack speed when the wolves are summoned.
  • Wolves take damage equal to 75% of their max health from turrets.

Devs can you make it so that truth of the tooth prioritises enemy Heros and not enemy minions

I think it's like that so you can retreat as well, try using it to escape battles.
