The Scarlet Crusade arrives in MOBA-land
[Update:you’re able to find her spotlight below as well asthis landing pagedetailing her basic abilities and heroics.]
It’s been a long, long time since the lastHeroes of the Stormcharacter. The development team has noted many times (including last year’s BlizzCon) that they’re focusing on smaller updates and reworks; and with that comes a longer lead time for new heroes. This recent gap between Yrel has been the longest ever, but that changes with today’s announcement.
Last week Blizzard teased a new revealwith a door.Yep, a door. The ornate object looked like something out of quite a few Blizzard properties:Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, andOverwatchall fit the bill. Now we have full confirmation: it’s High Inquisitor Whitemane of the zealot-centric order of the Scarlet Crusade. Over the course of theWoWnarrative Whitemane was eventually overtaken by the undead scourge, the very power her order sought to destroy — and is nowa member of the Four Horsemen(pretty much confirming an alt-skin for her).
As a former Priest main inWorld of WarcraftI’m thrilled to finally see the archetype inHeroes, even if it’s from a relatively unknown participant. People really thought Anduin would make his mark as the first priest but she stole the show! Like Yrel I might be the only person excited for her but that’s okay — it’s a MOBA! Only one person per team can play as her anyway.
Whitemane is expected to hit the PTR soon before she goes live.
