The new Hero Intiara is arriving this weekend through the summoning portal, ready to rage against your foes in this week’s Dragon Strike!

Ruins. Death all around her.

Intiara walked through what remained of her forest, staggered both physically and emotionally by the untold destruction.

Just two days ago, it had been a peaceful sanctuary of the old ways. Intiara lived in connection with the forest, and it with her. They each gave freely of their power in a beautiful, symbiotic coexistence. But that was all gone. Now Intiara felt the forest dying… and with it, herself.

Malum’s army had camped several leagues away. Intiara didn’t care for the politics of the world, and she’d paid little notice. The foraging parties descended first — uprooting stem and peeling bark. Before long the forest had become a siege workshop, where the army’s engineers felled tree after tree to construct behemoth weapons of war.

She’d tried. The destruction of the forest had filled Intiara with rage. She’d rallied every living thing in its borders against the soldiers. United, they fought back… but both she and the forest were nothing against the endless waves of steel and fire. Now the forest was dying. The army was gone, but the companion she’d lived with so long was beyond her power to save.

She burned with hatred for the engineers, for the soldiers, for everything but her forest. She felt herself fading, but saw no reason to let go of her anger. Sitting down to rest, she looked out across the falling leaves and smoldering fires. Any moment now. Her focus was already fading. She so deeply longed for just one chance at revenge against those monsters though before the end.

An unexpected blue light began to pool in front of her. “The Summoning Portal,” a distinctly maniacal grin spread across her face. “I will have my chance then.”

She turned sadly to look at the ruins of the forest one last time. “Goodbye old friend. You shall be avenged.”

Green Dragon Slayer Hero: Intiara

Intiara has nothing left but her rage. Her connection to nature allows her to enrage those around her, allowing them to accomplish unbelievable feats of strength.

Intiara is a master of the Ability Tribal Frenzy. Channeling her rage into her natural affinity, she is able to massively boost the critical rate, attack and defense of all allied Green Heroes. She has long stood as guardian of her forest, and she will stand firm for her new allies with her more than formidable defenses.

Intiara will arrive on Thursday, August 24th for the next Dragon Strike event. Are you ready?

Dragon Slayers, Attack!

As usual with a new Hero, Intiara will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Intiara will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before, Intiara is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Intiara will be a great help in this weekend’s Dragon Strike. Don’t miss this new hero!

Coming up next week is a Blue Tournament… What hero will be unveiled then?

The new Hero Ulixar will arrive soon, just in time for this weekend’s Dragon Strike.

The wounded just kept coming. The battle against this new Drak was not going well it would seem.

Ulixar longed to be on the front lines where he felt he could do the most good, but he was chain-bound to the Conclave of the Tides — he must go where ordered. Trapped here instead of with the vanguard… this was just a ramshackle fort for nearby civilians to shelter. They had never planned it to be the battlefield hospital it had become.

Ulixar stooped over a Guardian lying on a cushion of flour sacks in the corner. His assistant was an accomplished healer, but this one would not make it. They couldn’t waste any more medicine. Calling on his own skills, he dulled her pain before moving to the next patient.

Ulixar let out a dry, rasping cough. He heard it echoed all around the room from countless mouths. It wasn’t just burns and wounds these soldiers were returning with. He had seen clean wounds fester in front of his eyes and watched minorly injured knights die of respiratory infection mere hours after arriving.

He’d heard the tales… Elder Blight. What had they awakened in the mountains?

Ulixar walked down the hall to his own bedroom. They’d managed to fit four wounded in his rather modest quarters. One of the generals currently occupied his bed. The man was silent and cold.

Ulixar sat down for a moment… unconcerned with the eerily still man next to him. Another massive coughing fit. They were coming more frequently. His head spun. “So this is how it ends,” he said to himself, fiddling with the chain around his neck.

Just as he thought he may lay down and rest awhile, a faint blue light began to form at his chest. Delicate sparks began to emerge from his chest, pooling in the open air in front of him. As he watched with fascination, the light grew. It gradually engulfed the great chain that had bound his neck for years.

Suddenly, the chain split in two and fell off Ulixar’s neck. He was so dumbfounded, he hadn’t even noticed the portal that had formed in front of him until he held up the pieces of chain to inspect them. “The magic is broken then? I’m… free?”

He dropped the chain where he stood. He could hear birds and feel sunlight coming through the portal. He took one last look at the dark, death and disease around him before eagerly plunging into the mysterious light.

Blue Dragon Slayer Hero: Ulixar

Ulixar is a defensive bulwark, and not just behind tall walls. He is himself a living, breathing fortress capable of bolstering the defenses of allies against nearly any threat.

Ulixar is a master of the Ability Sanctuary. Focusing his will, he layers potent protective wards on all allies, increasing defenses against both attack and Abilities. His protective powers are so great that affected allies also feel a heightened sense of awareness during battle, allowing them to dodge incoming attacks with ease.

Ulixar will arrive on Thursday, August 24th for the next Dragon Strike event. Are you ready?

Dragon Slayers, Attack!

As usual with a new Hero, Ulixar will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Ulixar will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before, Ulixar is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Ulixar will be a great help in this weekend’s Dragon Strike. Don’t miss this new hero!

Coming up next week is a Yellow Tournament… What hero will be unveiled then?

The all-new hero Voltar will soon arrive through The Summoning Portal in time for this weekend’s Shadowlands Tournament!

Voltar watched the horizon with narrowed eyes. He could feel the energy building up around the tower. No matter how long he kept vigil in the storm, the anticipation of a strike had never ceased to increase his tension. Another problem to solve.

He no longer knew how long he’d been sitting atop this tower. Months? Years? He’d come to the Storm Lands for answers, and he had no plan to leave until he was satisfied.

After so long, why did his body still feel fear in the face of the lightning? Master Tempus had always told him fear was just a reaction to a lack of understanding. Voltar understood the storm. So why was there still fear?

A huge flash. Voltar held out his hand. From the top of the great tower in the center of the plain, the lightning would obey him. The great streak of blinding fire crashed into his hand with power that almost knocked him backwards, off the great tower and to his oblivion below. He quickly closed his fist on the tempest contained within, then without hesitation he smashed the pure force into his forehead.

The world stopped, his eyes blazed like the sun. In that instant… that flash of light… he finally saw it. The fear wasn’t of an unknown fate, but something deeper. He understood now, and he wished he hadn’t.

There was a secret in the lightning as old as time itself… the knowledge that drove the storm to rage, and now he held that terrible truth too. There was no longer any reason to fear. How could any fear greater than this exist now?

As he stood from his meditation for the first time in countless days, still shaken by his revelation, a blue glow suddenly formed in his burned hand. Not lightning, but something equally old, terrible and powerful. He knew it immediately.

“It would seem my exile has ended” he said gazing at the light flowing from his hand. Without hesitation he stepped through the portal now forming in front of him. The light subsided and was quickly eclipsed by a new bolt of lightning striking an empty tower lying alone in the barren wastes.

Yellow Tournament Champion: Voltar

Voltar seeks knowledge and truth, and has sacrificed much to peer into the secrets of the universe. Tormented by the weight of his own wisdom, Voltar is at peace with his own suffering. He has risen above fear, contempt and resentment — a rock amidst the raging tempest. The storm does not consume him, but instead flows through him with unparalleled power.

Voltar is the master of the Ability Chain Strike. Firing but a fraction of the storm within at opponents, he is able to create an arcing band of energy that will damage all enemies and strike his focal point multiple times. While Voltar has discovered the secret to living alongside the power of the storm, his enemies will not be so fortunate.

Voltar will arrive on Thursday, August 17th in time for the next Tournament event. Can you handle the storm?

Tournament Champions, Attack!

As usual with a new Hero, Voltar will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Voltar will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before him, Voltar is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Voltar could help turn the tides of this week’s Tournament. Don’t miss this shockingly powerful hero!

Coming up next week is a Red Dragon Strike event… What hero will arrive then?
