Grandi novità per tutti gli appassionati di Heroes of the Storm per quel che concerne la nuova eroina del Nexus proveniente dal mondo di Overwatch Ana!
Attraverso un nuovo video della serie “Sotto i riflettori” Blizzard ha voluto parlare nel dettaglio di questa nuova celebre protagonista che avrà il ruolo di Supporto nelle partite di HotS mentre sul web sono stati diffusi anche i talenti di Ana che potrete trovare poco sotto.
Cosa ne pensate di questo nuovo eroe? Vi ricordiamo che è+ da poche ore disponibile nel PTR del nostro amato Moba Blizzard!

Abilità

• Trait
  • Shrike
    • Basic attacks apply a Dose to non-Structure enemies, dealing an additional 40 damage over 5 seconds, and stacking up to 5 times.
    • Has additional attack range, similar to Raynor and Nova.
• Basic Abilities
  • Healing Dart (Q)
    • Fire a dart which heals the first allied Hero hit for 250 Health. Has range roughly the same as upgraded Jaina
      • Cost: 15 mana
      • Charges: 1 (increased by talents)
      • Cooldown: 2 secs
  • Biotic Grenade (W)
    • Toss a Grenade at the target area. Allied Heroes hit are healed for 175 Health and receive 25% increased healing for 3 seconds. Enemies hit take 60 damage and receive 100% less healing for 2 seconds.
    • Has significant travel time if thrown a decent distance. Medium range, tighter AOE, roughly equal to a Jaina Blizzard.
    • This started on a lower cooldown but proved to be “too strong an effect” to be “thrown out willy-nilly.” Six weeks of play testing went into that decision.
      • Cost: 50
      • Cooldown: 16
  • Sleep Dart (E)
    • Fire a dart that Sleeps the first enemy Hero hit, Stunning them for 3 seconds. Sleep’s effects end instantly if the target takes damage after the first 0.5 seconds. Cannot be used on Vehicles.
    • Damage from Lunara’s trait or Ana’s trait, as well as other DOTs, do notwake up sleeping heroes.
      • Cost: 50
      • Cooldown: 14
• Heroic Abilities
  • Nano Boost (R1)
    • Instantly boost an allied Hero, restoring 200 Mana. For the next 8 seconds, they gain 30% Spell Power and their Basic Ability cooldowns recharge 150% faster. Cannot be used on Ana.
    • “Tanks make for fantastic targets” says Kent-Erik Hagman, hero designer. The cooldown reduction allows them to use their CC abilities much more regularly.
      • Cost: 75
      • Cooldown: 60
  • Eye of Horus (R2)
    • Assume a sniping position, gaining the ability to fire up to 8 specialized rounds with unlimited range. Rounds hit the first allied or enemy Hero or enemy Structure in their path. Allies are healed for 300 and enemies are damaged for 175. Deals 50% less damage to Structures. Ana is unable to move while Eye of Horus is active.
    • This was actually Blizzard’s first choice for Ana’s non-Overwatch ultimate. “The ability we have today is what went in, but what we iterated on the most was the number of shots, the cadence of shots. When it initially went in it was three bullets, didn’t feel like you were actually in a sniper nest. We upped it to five, wasn’t enough, upped it to seven, not quite there – we went to eight and that was it. There were one or two playtests where you could just rifle them all off and it felt very punishing, removed a lot of the counter-play – so we put a one-second cooldown between each shot.”
    • The last thing added was the structure rule, mostly to stop Ana being a hard Abathur counter in the worst way.
      • Cost: 75
      • Cooldown: 60
