Negli ultimi giorni la community di Heroes of the Storm ha avuto il piacere di assistere al lancio di un nuovo eroe per il Nexus, il celebre Ammiraglio Infestato Stukov, proveniente direttamente dal mondo di Starcraft 2.
Stukov sarà un eroe di Supporto caratterizzato dal fatto che “infesterà” ed “avvelenerà” gli eroi nemici applicandogli importanti danni nel tempo (DOT – Damage over time) come ad esempio l’abilità Pustola Infetta che ci permetterà di scagliare una pustola che colpisce gli eroi nemici sulla traiettoria, infliggendogli 20 danni e rallentandoli del 5%, fino a un massimo del 50% in 3 s. Quando questa abilità terminerà o sarà rimossa da un dispel avversario, Pustola Infetta infliggerà altri 80 danni aggiuntivi!

Alexei Stukov ha avuto una vita difficile, e la sua morte non è stata da meno. È stato tradito, abbandonato nello spazio, riportato in vita e infestato, quasi guarito e poi sottoposto a esperimenti. Ora, l’infestazione può finalmente diffondersi nel Nexus.

Di seguito le abilità principali dell’eroe, le abilità eroiche ed i talenti del nuovo Stukov…cosa ne pensate community?
