Heroes of the Storm gets a brand new card: Assault on Volskaya Manufacturing. In keeping with the Russian-sounding name, the new battlefield revolves around the icy robot factories of Volskaya and brings some themes from Blizzards Overwatch in the nexus.
The battle for the protector robot
The map is all about control of the factory, and therefore control of the huge ones Triglav protector robot, with which you can really heat up your opponent.
3 control points form the main potential for conflict, the team must get control of these in order to load their progress bar. The points are no simple circles to put in, conveyor belts create a special kind of chaos in combat.
When the progress bar is filled to 100%, the team receives the Triglav protector, which is controlled in a similar way to the garden monster or the dragon knight. But the concentrated power not only needs one player to steer, but even 2.
The first team member to enter the robot takes over Pilot position and controls the protector via the map, he also has access to attack functions such as charging, protective shield or a rocket fist.
The second player in the protector takes on the role of Protect and has an extra arsenal of deadly abilities. Including a plasma cannon that does AoE damage, a Gatling cannon that lets unending barrage pound down on the enemy and, last but not least, there is a laser placed in the legs that draws a path of devastation through the enemy and stunned them after a short time.
In addition to the protectors, there are also five neutral Sölder camps that support you in battle if you control them.
2 new Overwatch heroes for Heroes of the Storm
In keeping with the Overwatch theme of the map, 2 new heroes are also coming to the Nexus. Ana, the sniper and Junkrat the demolition master join the previous champions. Hopefully more information about these 2 new Heroes of the Storm heroes will be available soon.
