Upcoming Hero Preview: Aluna

[JohnnyUtah]

http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/tmp/123/aluna2.jpg


The powers of a modern day Latina superhero will come to life in Newerth this Friday as our newest hero is unleashed!

Beautiful and spirited, Aluna carries within her the essence of Earth itself -- the old Earth, long since lost to the decay of ages. Endowed with its might, and carrying the power of the moon in a mystical emerald, Aluna strikes at her daemonic foes with deadly speed. Thanks to her skill in battle, she has already become a celebrity among the heroes of Newerth.

Aluna is inspired by the life of a beautiful and spirited actress. Curious who our new Latina superstar is? Stay tuned to our HoN Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/heroesofnewerth) for daily updates!

Emerald Lightning

Aluna launches a bolt of lightning that bounces off her enemies, stealing their attack speed and leaving them stunned.

Power Throw

Channeling her strength into a single throw, Aluna is able to throw her weapon with deadly speed and accuracy.

Deja Vu

Aluna can see the past and future on the surface of moonlit water, and she can travel there under proper conditions.

Emerald Red

Aluna's emerald draws its power from the moon and increases the potency of her other abilities.

[DHeff11]

Nice!!! Menace you are bad!

[NadeD]

lame passive ult

[Destro]

OMG TY

Can't wait for her to be released!

Ultimate seems kinda lame though. The whole "boost your other skills" is a bummer :/ AH WELL, guess it's a wait and see deal. Maybe it adds more effects instead of mere potency.

[Hate]

Wow. I thought Idejar just said these would come out during the week.

[CamperJoe]

Awesome

[Reinhardh]

Wow I am really curious to see what this Deja Vu skill does.

[Typhy]

NIGHT STALKER!

(ult looks to be dependent on night time)

[Tyrando]

derp

[Trolloc]

Looks good.

[sScurvy]

Ahh, the quest for ethnic diversity. Looks like a fun hero with some real carry potential. I'm a little curious as to how deja vu is gonna work.

[Chritte]

looks really good, now i can't wait :( to much teasing

[XaLOpAbLO]

nice hero

[argnoferich]

Latina and no big ass, where iz steoreotypezzzz?

[PeepTheKD]

SICK

[Saaron]

:O!!

[lKhain]

MsPudding *still facepalming*

[Fenix]

That Deja Vu ability...

I'm so glad one of the Devs plays Storm of the Imperial Sanctum. Because it sounds very similar to a Murloc with a Shotgun I know.


Kudos, S2! (Seriously!)

[Awesomesauce]

Looks good :)

[TronKs]

NIGHT STALKER!

(ult looks to be dependent on night time)

That's what i tougth:blac:

[PasteyMF]

Art for the new hero is weak... LoL quality. :\

[dr_basemoan]

agi legion?

[SolarFlare22]

lame passive ult

Where does it say passive?

[ESLFavion]

Int Legion.

[Anchovies]

The two diferent icons for her 3 abilities seem to indicate that their function depends on different conditions i.e. night and day?

[NighT]

http://xspblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/funny-pictures-interesting-cat.jpg

[Nark0Punk]

nice finnally another latino hero. :vood: its happy xD

[Testingrani]

Good thing to see HoN reaching out to more cultures.

Get more racially diverse = get more HoN players from all over the world.

[pk_thunder]

Damn heroes other than support...

[man_guy]

NIGHT STALKER!

(ult looks to be dependent on night time)
Hopefully it's not based on areas where there are water. Grimm's Crossing doesn't have any to my knowledge.

[Larceny]

This.

[Tyrando]

maybe

but the colour, oho...

[Pustik]

cant wait! i smell night stalker

[Artic]

I'm guessing her ult is a stance that toggles between emerald and ruby mode essentially giving her six skills.

[FivebyFive]

has nothing to do with night and day. The two times icons is because the skills turn different when she activates the ultimate

[Tedde]

I'm guessing her ult is a stance that toggles between emerald and ruby mode essentially giving her six skills.

Would be neat!

[DreamCatcher]

Oh for god's sake, yet another hero with a stun? -.- S2 you never do listen to complaints, do you.

[Doom_Whale]

mhhh

[Escavalier]

Nice, guess the new skin this week is a Aluna 1..

[Good_Apollo]

Deja Vu...she can send out an image to a the river at night and teleport to it? No idea...

[Duran]

Get some creativity with the ult please.

[Yurixy]

Amazing!

[Ghidoran]

Seems like a rushed hero which they're churning out to satisfy the masses.

Design is very mediocre and even the concept art is meh. As someone said, LoL quality.

Skills seem pretty lacklustre, although they're pretty vague and I might be surprised. If the ult is passive though, then she'll probably be really boring.

Art for the skills seem shoddy and quickly put together as well..

The preview itself did not have much effort put into it. Compare it to Myrmidon's or Empath's previews.

Seems like they're not even trying. Still, I hope I'm wrong and this hero does have some effort put into it.

[Freshpro]

hmm sneak )

[Lungs]

Loving the simplicity. very nice :)

[RaPoZaUm]

Hopefully it's not based on areas where there are water. Grimm's Crossing doesn't have any to my knowledge.
There is water in Grimm's Crossing...

[CrashBashL]

Videeoooo preevieewww!!!

[Greeshka]

Can you stop making same sort of female heroes?

[Sulfur]

So she is a strength character?

[FDY]

nice job!

[Sancti]

Power Throw

Channeling her strength into a single throw, Aluna is able to throw her weapon with deadly speed and accuracy.

And then? Will it it come back, is it a boomerang? Or is it something spamable like morax axes? o.O

[Zesbeer]

awesome more stun the game doesn't need if there were more snares the game would be a lot more balanced.

[xmangosx]

Semi Carry-Ganker like sort of Faydish?

A booty bumpin' Bella for sho'

[BagofPeas]

This hero's been in the works for quite some time. I promise you she's not just been rushed out.

[Tenali]

Looks like a hero who gets stronger at night. Hope I'm wrong, horrible to properly balance a hero like that.

[gambler]

She looks brazilian. HAUEHAUEHAUEHAUEHAUEHAU

[IsmaelVera]

LATINAAAAAAAA


Finally S2! Listen to the Brazilian players for their moneys!

(not BR, Ecuadorian American)

Are you serious? How can you make this many assumptions based off a tiny preview. They said they would be releasing more information every day, how about not jumping on the bash S2 bandwagon.


Also the fact that each of her abilties has a seperate icon leads me to believe that her ult isn't passive and activating it will give access to the red coloured abilities

[Chindril]

Ult's draws power from the moon ? Could it work only during the night cycle ?
NIGHT STALKER HERE I COME

[_Wolf_]

Latina and no big ass, where iz steoreotypezzzz?

dude her hips are big...of course she has a big ass....but on the hero topic: Yay! more tits!

[Blaky039]

She and panda will get along, they both have a Bo.

[EkEL]

moonlight?

night day cycle?

the new balanar?

[Tyrando]

Ult's draws power from the moon ? Could it work only during the night cycle ?
NIGHT STALKER HERE I COME

:moon: would disagree

[EkEL]

Balanarrrrrrrr

its night time, here i come!!!!!!!!

[Tenali]

:moon: would disagree

On the other hand Moon Queen doesn't have 2 versions of each skill or aan ability which states the moon improves them.

[Ind1goFloW]

Love how her concept art is something even I could draw. Or Riots art department.

[Jiub]

nighstalker with a BR twist.

Solo matchmaking will never be the same.

[Loverdose]

Tanks S2 !

P.s : Rename the name of the ulti, EmeraldRed sounds kinda...i dont know but...kinda strange...

[Initiative]

She looks more like the Vanquisher from Torchlight to me then a LoL hero

[bolonypony]

This hero's been in the works for quite some time. I promise you she's not just been rushed out.

you know, I looked at your sig for like 3 minutes trying to figure out why the hell would someone just put a bag of peas as their sig...


then I saw your name =P

[Sam`]

surprised that there are no lycan mentionings in this thread.

and howmuch time should it take to create a hero?

i can give you right away 5 heroes , you can right away import some hero from dota, or you can look at the dream hero base

it doesnt take long.

another new hero in less then a month is fast but not bad

the concept art looks pretty decent ( shes way to fat on her legs if you watch her stomatch and doesnt fit with her arm)

but besideds that fact its sweet

icons :

first looks bit crapy could be better
second also could show her trowing the bambus weapon
third is nice
and third is also bit lame
but nvm these

maybe we will also see a trailer in 1-2 days so :)

[Church_]

she looks cool should be fun to play her :)

[gamergamer]

Aluna can see the past and future on the surface of moonlit water, and she can travel there under proper conditions. <<< Woot now i can do more than annihilation!! Kill the 5 heroes of the past and kill the 5 heroes of the future!!

[Krasus]

The icons in red are that of when the ulti is activated - and i'm fairly sure that's a good educated guess.

Dejavu (from the icon) - would be something like a pseudo blink; and when she activates ulti, she would be able to "run" back to her initial position - to add more mind ****.

it would be somewhat akin to leblanc from LoL.

[ShammySham]

Love how her concept art is something even I could draw. Or Riots art department.

Yeah it's a pretty lackluster concept, but I am interested in seeing how her abilities will work.

[Good_Apollo]

Yeah it's a pretty lackluster concept, but I am interested in seeing how her abilities will work.
Seriously she needs more skulls, and armor...MORE ARMOR WITH SPIKES AND BLOOD AND GLOWING RUNES!

[Nebex]

That Deja Vu ability...

I'm so glad one of the Devs plays Storm of the Imperial Sanctum. Because it sounds very similar to a Murloc with a Shotgun I know.


Kudos, S2! (Seriously!)
I was thinking the exact same thing. River ganker!

[inDe_eD]

An earth-based hero that draws her power from the moon, shoots lightning, and travels through water? What? Where's the consistency?

[Grimace]

Wouldn't it be super cool if Deja Vu put a shadow of enemy heroes in the river if they are going to path through it?

[bolonypony]

She may be able to see heroes walking through the water... and then be able to port there.

[FiddleStiX]

I see it something like

1st. Medusa's mystic snake spell (except drains attack speed, not mana)
2nd. Windrunners power shot
3rd. Might be something similar to Grunty's passive in SotIS
Ult. Blacksmith's ult? >.>

[rkzb]

^ YOU GOT IT BRO, in fact S2 designed her based on a rough draft they took from your imagination, cool huh?

[MiniDon]

anyone else noticed her face looks similar to empaths..........

Guessing her abilities are stronger in the night........... guessing she can turn ze day into ze night..


If her ulti is passive this is gonna be boring, if she can turn day into night that would be awesome :)

[argnoferich]

dude her hips are big...of course she has a big ass....but on the hero topic: Yay! more tits!

I dont think her hips are big at all :scou:

[FiddleStiX]

^ YOU GOT IT BRO, in fact S2 designed her based on a rough draft they took from your imagination, cool huh?

what are you on about? I'm just saying what I think her spells look similar to.

Why so :madm:?

[legion6699]

Trundle + Karma from lol ... Nice concept ....

[Bohogony`]

To please the Brazilian player-base.:swif:

Wonder who she's inspired from.

[Kunkka]

http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/hero/Godeye/Makana

Very similar hero, very similar weapon concept, and same weapon name.

S2, I am dissapoint. Gief credit.

[Aeds]

NIGHT STALKER!

(ult looks to be dependent on night time)

this is what i thought

[zergscum]

Rofl are you serious is every hero going to be female + wearing no clothes is this a joke s2?????????????????????????????????

[Hal0Badger]

-a simple huge necklace...aaanndd... a bamboo stick ....huge bots...somewhat huge bracelets with glowing huge stone on them... damn i run out of idea.!
-make it a hot chick with nice tities and boobs, that will make them love her.
-sir, you are a design genius!

[Time2Play]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PinkDin0saur]

this is s2's version of windrunner. gonna be sexy to add this ***** to tri-lanes, TRUST

[Cecels]

do not want :/

[foxmindedguy]

Hm... Let me guess ANOTHER STUNNER!!!!

S2 please stop making heroes on your own, clearly you guys don't know any other skill than STUNS!!!

[Stonecold`]

"draws power from the moon"
H*LL TO THE YES
deja vu sounds kinda like she could go to any point in the river at night time...which is F*CKING AWESOME

[_21_DeGrEe_X]

We want NIGHT STALKER!!!
RELEASE IT FOR THE SAKE OF HON PLAYERS:D

[Jettie12]

Pretty boring skillset.

[Duey]

Latino stole my Panda staff

[Grigden]

im not going to spend 15 minutes reporting all the trolls in this thread like id like to, but i will ask why no one has mentiioned nerubian weaves ult, which sends you back in time a few seconds, just like skill 3a. 3b will probably be some kind of jump forward with a reduction of cooldowns by a few seconds, and maybe a boost in hp and mana

[Jabram]

They should add a forum rule "No Complaining". Better yet, ID - only 21 and up can post..

[also_wik]

Is it just me or does her ultimate sound like a new pokemon game?

[BigBagOCrabs]

Is it just me or does her ultimate sound like a new pokemon game?

I lol'd

the hero looks like it could be pretty good, intrigued how the 3rd skill is gonna work and how her ultimate is gonna effect the rest of her abilities

[juNkie`]

nice

[miley__cyrus]

lol same design model as empath....


and ult look terrible but rest look ok i guess

[Rasui]

Not a fan of the preview, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

[Grreennhorn]

Looks like a LoL hero -.-

[yeffy]

no port i am :madm:

[Deitri]

Indian Empath.

[EliCar]

Salma Hayek?

[Player_2]

Can we please get The Savage already?

Wtf is he just too pro for this game? You're keeping him in reserve?

[orbitalx]

The icons for Deja Vu seem out of place. The second icon should have red shadows instead of green, to go along with the activated ultimate.

[Law]

given that all her icons have 2, my money is on her ult boosting her skills while it's night, or possibly being like eclipse off ns, overall she looks like a anti carry maybe, similar to corrupted/razor.

i will say this though, if she DOES gain bonus at night, i'd like to see night time be a bit more.... night? in dota it was quite clear when you were going to get destroyed by ns, in hon the difference between day and night is far less noticeable.

[Tiburon]

The ulti reminds me of Karma from LoL

[NoskillzNils]

omg.

[EliCar]

in hon the difference between day and night is far less noticeable.

This... should be god damn fixed. In DotA night is DARK. On HoN... no real difference.

[Killda]

Great, more brazilians incoming....

[rhave]

look at her torso rofl her head is bigger than the torso

[Beardhat]

Really...

We need MONSTERS and HEROES

This isn't LoL, champion design shouldn't be tits with powers.

Sure, Empath is fine and all, as there was a distinct lack of female type heroes legion characters, but now with all the "female alternatives" (I still want female scoot) and Empath, I doubt we need more designs like this.

[DerpyHooves]

I agree completly.

[Freebz]

looks awesome cant wait

[adminope]

hero per 3 week

goodjob

[Easy_Lee]

My guess: multi-target stun, single target stun/slow, deja vu lets her return to where she was standing a moment ago, gladiator style, and ult makes her abilities scale into the late game. In other words, she's going to be a strong ganker with all her actives available at level 1, have good lane presence, and will scale well.

[drianrussell]

Is there any way we can get a hero taken out of the game?

[Travo]

Is this S2's version of nightstalker?

Lame.

[vdZERO]

People like you are never satisfied. If they don't make a hero every 2 weeks you come on forum and QQ, if they make a hero you QQ they make it to fast.... so lame

[HepatitisC]

I'm with Ghidoran on this one....the design seems lame. Generic move set + Generic Model Art = Poor design. I am starting to think S2 is putting out so many human based models because they have no real creativity in their design team. Everyone is probably put on the shop project to pump out more cash cows for S2.

There's no reason they can't put in the effort to draw new heroes that have something to do with the game lore or, at the very least, to look like a creatively drawn monster/beast and then put some fun gameplay moves on them. If they can't manage to do that, just throw in the towel now. It really shouldn't take them that long to do. Hell, just go to the dream site and run down the list 1-10 from the top 10 and implement them every week or so. The heroes there at least have some thought put behind them.

TLDR: seriously, get some originality in your game design S2. This wasn't well thought out

[Jeroz]

At least I'm glad that it's no longer thong/loincloth.

Tights pants ftw

[deek]

She looks like mila kunis...

So take it she gains extra dmg or something at night. de ja vu could be good or bad im not quite sure

[Kokuyo]

Sounds like the ultimate is based on daytime.
Finally!

[FittPeps]

She looks like mila kunis...

^ This, haha that would be awesome with her as voice, Meg <3

How can you say the art is bad? As someone else mentioned before I kinda love the simplicity. Can't wait for this, freaking sweet.

[BloodyJester]

lalarilala testing my new icon

[TaggsvampisH]

Wow she seems awesome :o

[stergu]

i see her as a ganker/semi carry and a mid or solo short lane hero...nice that they remembered to put a balanar style on her...
leoric is still needed o/

[Hsssh]

Fingers crossed that her ulti turns day into night.

[`paper]

:moon: is mad

[HonStinks]

She sure looks like a generic NPC #2585. Generic is a pretty accurate term to describe the skillset too, based on the information given.

I have to wonder yet again, why does there need to be yet another stun? A chain stun, no less. Why exploit stuns so much when there is nothing in the game you can do to fight back against them? I suppose you can purchase a Shrunken Head or a Nullstone, or hope that your team has an Accursed. Good luck getting those items if you are a support.

[FelipeCosta]

"The powers of a modern day Latina superhero..."

L.O.L.

[JewBot69]

This... should be god damn fixed. In DotA night is DARK. On HoN... no real difference.


WRONG GOOD SIR, ur LOS is decreased during night time, although they should make it noticeably darker when it is nighttime.

[Evil_Is_Back]

looks awesome, i havent played Empath yet though.

[qazqazqaz]

Just found full descriptions on her skills. Looks sweet.

[Lucian01]

Looks kind of lame...

[MaxGhost]

From nigma's facebook page: Int hero. DAMNIT.

[Onkelffs]

Rofl are you serious is every hero going to be female + wearing no clothes is this a joke s2?????????????????????????????????

Troll?
The 12-13 year old girls on the mall have less clothes than this hero.


I am starting to think S2 is putting out so many human based models because they have no real creativity in their design team. Everyone is probably put on the shop project to pump out more cash cows for S2.


:damp::myrm::mora:? Get new friends lol!

Also QQ more about the shop, they have game designers that design the game. They got modellers who model alt avatar and original avatars. The iteration process of forming different concepts and SBT'ing it out need far more work hours and resourcers than repainting a model.

[discojedi]

My guess on the Deju Vu ability:

An illusion is created for some relatively short amount of time (10-12s). The illusion can use all of your abilities though they do not do any damage (except for the side effects like stunning and stealing attack speed, which the illusion benefits from). The illusion has one ability which destroys the illusion and moves the hero to the illusion's position.

The idea being that she can see into the future and "travel there" under certain conditions. Just a guess, but I found it kind of interesting.

[RainbowRush]

Judging from the fact that the hero has both green and red skills.... And that we know only the red ultimate.... I think that the hero will be a Nightstalker type hero that depends on the day/night cycle.









p.s. Penélope Cruz from Pirates of the carribean!

[Repugnance]

wait a minute.... PHANTOM LANCER?


nah its totally new

[Bobbydot]

http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/hero/Godeye/Makana

Very similar hero, very similar weapon concept, and same weapon name.

S2, I am dissapoint. Gief credit.

That's not even close to what this hero is -_- get real. You should have no credit at all

Link? :(

[Chaser]

legion int, from honcasts interview with idejder. Look at the last few minutes for the info. And seeing how the slots are full for legion im guessing Myrmadon is gonna be changed to hellbourne? ;O

[HairyBanana]

Just me or does the First skill appear to be an improved voodoo stun?

[sirshane]

Id love a male skins for the female heroes in the game since they are starting to take over now :P

[Wolfrar]

Can we please have some non int heroes being added to the game. And honestly s2, major challange being posed to you, create a hero that has no stun or CC abilitiy. Just try it.

[HairyBanana]

Could still end up being an agility hero, I don't see the attackspeed gain from skill one being effective on INT tbh

[qazqazqaz]

Could still end up being an agility hero, I don't see the attackspeed gain from skill one being effective on INT tbh

Ummm. She's an int carry after all.

[Wolfrar]

Could still end up being an agility hero, I don't see the attackspeed gain from skill one being effective on INT tbh

They already stated its an Int hero. And yeah, Int carries - they happen.

[Abalabalab]

i dooon't knoee i kindaaa like ít!

[Bonburner]

why does she have a bamboo stick

[HertZz]

Sweet, With a new hero

[Navicat]

Unless her 3rd has more than it says atm it will be shitty hero.

[Blacksin]

I just don't understand why everyone is critisizing S2 for their designs/heroes/balance changes/updates/shop when all you greedy bastards only paid 30 bucks for an excellent game with free frequent content updates.


How about being grateful for once? and it's almost impossible to create a skill or something that doesn't show some kind of similarity to some other bullcrap skill that excists in some other bullcrap game.

/rant

Blacksin

[ControlF8]

If this is a night and day hero, I would really like to see some actual in game difference between night and day... other than a spinning circle at the top of the screen. I know you can see farther into the fog of war during the day and all that that... but to newer players it's hard to tell the difference.

A bit of grayscale perhaps?

[darkuther]

exciting!

[Asrial]

Let me guess:

1) She is a legion int.
Problem: There's too many legion ints. She gains attack speed which is uncommon for her attribute.
Solution: Myrmidon, the least legion'esque int is moved to hellbourne. She is an agi carry in same sense as Puppet Master

2) She is a legion agi.
Problem: Role is unclear.
Solution: Depends on the strength of the spells. Either going to be a Valk 2.0, carry or anti-carry.


Either way, this is going to be fun!

[korDen]

Lycan port confirmed, yay!

That's a nice surprise. Ty S2

[Good_Apollo]

I'm mad.

[TheRedSpy]

the night/day dynamic is a good one, good to see it will finally be a feature of hon. I miss that about dota tbh.. good ol' nightstalker.

cant wait for the pudding preview vid

[Aconit]

At least, lycan port !

[Gambit]

Nice!!

[Cero]

could someone explain why she decides to carry a stick into war? we all know girls and bears do not have the same output in power, (inb4 Helga)

[Nomzy]

pandas sister

[nuotti]

Deja Vu might be kinda similar to Nerubian Weaver's ulti?

[sxc]

voice is gonna be Michelle Rodriguez, you heard it here first folks.

[Flupke]

Night stalkers :D

[MaXi]

has nothing to do with night and day. The two times icons is because the skills turn different when she activates the ultimate

yeah and ultimate say she draw power from moon :D but we will see

[Techies]

Love how her concept art is something even I could draw. Or Riots art department.

You got skill then.

[Jareth]

yeah and ultimate say she draw power from moon :D but we will see

:moon:

Just saying. :p

[Mazinkaiser]

Can't wait, the skills sound cool :D

[ain]

Needs less LoL.

[Blu3]

The powers of a modern day Latina superhero
Lol cmon S2...is she collecting emeralds from Zelda as well?

Id rather like to see heroes you used to make like Puppet Master, Panda, ... . With great voice actors, good graphics and unique, well done abilities.

[Volko]

NIGHT STALKER!

(ult looks to be dependent on night time)
http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/hero/UnumSceleris/Night+Hunter

[Cishpi]

looks like an avatar skin to empath

[Feroci0us]

And here we go. People whine about how no new heroes are released and when one is actually brought into daylight the whiners whine how its not original or whatever.
Jesus Christ grow up for once.

[Initiative]

What's even worse is that people complained that they were pratically no female heroes in the game, S2 listens pump out loads of females. What happens? QQ too many females no originality.

You people have the memories of goldfish

[Quillraven]

is she alucard's unknown daughter?

edit: btw i don't quite get the deja vu spell. has it something todo with water surface? if so, this spell would be pretty useless on the 3v3 and 4v4 map (watchtower has water afaik).

[Mendrane]

Looks cool. Cant wait to see how her abilities work and how much she will be banned the first 2 weeks.

Also when is the pharaoh alt skin hitting the shop?! :phar:

[Spyman]

NICEEEEE :pand:
gj S2, keep up the good work.

[Somersby]

ITT:

People whining for the sake of whining.


Seems good S2. Also nice pace, if you can pull this hero off good. Then Thumbs up!

[RaViJ]

Well I guess they released enough supports/ initiators to release a new carry. Yeah I know there's Dampeer but there was also Morax, Empath, Bomb and Myrm. Support again please! :D

[Berethorn]

Looking good!

[Velore]

Let me guess, to play her I need to pay 5000 silver coins as she is premium latino hero in HoN?

Also, another normalish woman, the skills seem boring aswell.. Oh well. Need to see I guess.

[RaViJ]

I just hope her skills are not as simple as Dampeer's skills.

[Idon`tCare]

During the day she is a support and at night she turns into a hard carry :D

[Kumadori]

Would be awesome if her throw hits no matter what. Even if enemies TP, blink og goes invis. As long as her attack animation is in progress.

[Squallz]

first

[Nonirik]

May i see her ass ?? Look damn good!...

[Psychel]

bad hero is bad.

edit : Dream is a waste of potential. when ur making these heroes that are sadly uninteresting :(

[Nuclear]

anyone else feel like it has similarities to phantom lancer? passive ult that boosts other skills, deja vu looks illusion based from the picture, and she throws her weapon for a nuke

[Amero]

That's what i tougth:blac:

True :blac:

[TrexCV]

She looks nice but I'm waiting for the values on the skills so I can fully appreciate her :P
Btw Aluna means Peanut in Romania :)

[lolkaputt]

meh.

[ChimeraTX]

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7103/catherinek.jpg (http://img69.imageshack.us/i/catherinek.jpg/)

Kinda looks like her imo

[Viking`]

Hero concept, skills and theme are too forced. Nothing seems to fit with one another. Oh well, some times you hit others you miss.

[Sickenjal]

Why does she use a bamboo like Pandamonium?
It's a bit random for a weapon.

[Bartun]

seems like le blanc from LoL

[S`laughter]

*applauds loudly*

Wow...I'm surprised how much hate HoN gets when a hero is released late and how little praise it gets when a new hero is released straight after Empath...I'm not even used to Empath yet.

I'm impressed, seems like a nice neat concept and some (hopefully) time of day abilities that make her not only refreshingly unique to HoN but also giving her some nice artwork...

Really good job S2, you have this gamers appreciation.

[Systemdir]

If she's really that day/night dependant s2 should consider to include day/night Transition sounds (suggestion (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=104006)). It would make it easier to distinguish day and night.

[decayed`cell]

Can you stop adding heroes with CC ? Damn you S2 !
Anyway,this hero looks like Balanar so S2 I will donate 1 million dollars ( if I win them at the Lottery ) to you.

[Pinkie_Pye]

Oh boy another human. I want more freaks, i have enough fap material with empath, vindi, and succ.

[kslghost]

<cough> semi-port of windrunner <cough> just no focus fire whatsoever.

[Reldnahc]

Don't make her int /sigh

[Sordak]

boring

[painkiller`]

Wat.

[Ko0bEy]

This reminds me to Ryze from LoL... but thats basically the only fun LoL hero, so its not necessarily bad.

[Chaiq]

Looks like a alt avatar to Panda with that stick :(

[Ferum`]

Arrr... HoN had a unique dark atmosphere ...

But now we have witches pimp, a big pile of meat painted like a clown and girls with big boobs are killing huge monsters... I think it's good sometimes on Helloween, or Fool's day but not every time...

Too Bad...:blac:

http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/images/assets/avatars/12657.jpg?1280365552
would be much better...

AND FFS GIVE HER NORMAL STAFF AND RETURN BAMBOO TO IT'S OWNER! :pand:

[ZabatieL]

Deja vu = nerubian weaver's ult?
http://www.playdota.com/heroes/nerubian-weaver#skill105

[Navicat]

<cough> semi-port of windrunner <cough> just no focus fire whatsoever.
Lol, just noticed that. Explains why it's int.

[banananica]

Oh boy another human. I want more freaks, i have enough fap material with empath, vindi, and succ.

Fap material
Vindicator








:vind::vind::vind::vind:

[dandylion]

Seems.... really boring to be honest.

[BattleHungeR]

aha seems like a good hero

[ajz]

you dont even know if the ult is passive

[Qwernakus]

Lore is horrible.

[Raven_Corp]

I don't like the bamboo staff. Should be some other type of material.

[Strider]

Looks so god damn boring.

[ain]

Pretty boring and too LoL.

[W1nch3st35]

looks like a lot of fun cant wait :)

[Nubb3r]

no more humans please.
is empath balanced already ?
nightstaker sounds good to me though,

i still want dark seer and furion =(

[W1nch3st35]

I don't like the bamboo staff. Should be some other type of material.


hahahahaha good one

also her ulti is like :fayd: stances :D

[W1nch3st35]

i still want dark seer and furion =(

darkseer = :elec: furion = :nymph:

i dont think you will see 2 heroes with the ability to portal to anywhere on the map .

what id like to see is change the ult for :nymph: to her staff effect then port furion <3 :D

[Aray]

glad to see 13 year old chronic masterbaiters will be pleased by yet another hot hot piece of newerth ass.

forgot to mention that when i posted "nice".

[SmackTrickz`]

WHY NO FEMALE HEROES STUPID HON NENI GOOD GAME WITH NO GIRLS

s2 adds two TWO new female heroes

LOLOLOL STUPID S3 FAK YO

[Projanglez]

[Credge]

So she's a BR huehue?

[greencheese`]

So she's a BR huehue?
Yeah, I have her cell phone number if you are interested message me.

[Itchy_Nads]

There are so many better heroes to choose from on dream.... So why this dull one

[NoshZ]

I honestly cant wait for the flood on the forums about how OP aluna is :)
Going to be a shitstorm of new threads about 1500 psr 0.47kdr pubdumpsters crying and i cant wait to start my troll :)

[qazqazqaz]

Dull? I don't think you saw her skills yet. ;)

[banananica]

So she's a BR huehue?
Problem ?

[ain]

Dull? I don't think you saw her skills yet. ;)
From the preview she is dull. Also LoL. Also boring.
