Kharazim is finally revealed in all of his monkish glory, while Infernal Shrines offers a new take on map objectives; one that chases and kills enemy heroes.
There isn't much to type that can do a better job of explaining Kharazim than just watching the trailer for your self. Go do that. Finished? Here are some basics:
- His heroic abilities are Divine Palm and Seven-Sided strike. Divine palm is a support heroic that allows you to strike an ally and, if they are killed while the buff is on them, they get a huge heal. A literal life saver. Seven-Sided strike is the offensive heroic and causes Kharazim to teleport around, striking people 7 times.
- Like many already know, you can build him either as a hard support or as a melee assassin of sorts.
- His E ability is called Deadly Reach, which extends his range and gives him extra damage on his attacks.
- His W ability is called Breath of Heaven and his himself and allies all around him.
- His Q is a teleport called Radiant Dash that allows you to warp around the battlefield to friend or foe.
- His 3 traits are Iron Fists that gives bonus attack damage, Transcendence that heals himself through melee combat, or Insight to restore mana.
The new battleground is just as exciting. Watch it, be amazed. Now read on:
- The Punishers which can be summoned are designed to not only push, but aggressively hunt down enemy heroes. A circle appears around the enemy he is going to kill, and he can even jump over walls quickly to reach them. He just hunts down the enemy team.
- There are three shrines and they each summons skeletons. The first team to kill 30 skeletons gets a Punisher summoned for them.
- There are different types of Punishers. An Ice one using ice attacks, a Fire one using fire attacks, and an arcane type. Each one has different strengths and weaknesses.
More Gamescom goodness will be revealed on August 7 from 9:00 a.m. PDT (18:00 CEST) during the live streamed show at www.blizzgc.com this Friday for more on the new Heroes and Battlegrounds.
