Heroes of the Storm - Video for the new hero D.Va

Heroes of the Storm 2.0 Attracts more and more players, even seasoned Overwatch veterans like D.Va appear in the Nexus. Developer Blizzard today released the Spotlight video for the Heroes of the Storm variant by D.Va.

19 year old Hana Song, or better known as D.Va, is a former professional gamer who exchanged the gamepad for the joystick of a MEKA unit. When South Korea was attacked by an omnic monster 20 years ago, the MEKA units, armored mechanized drones, were created for defense. As time went on, as the omnic threat became more dangerous, the government began to occupy the MEKAs with pilots. And who has better reflexes and instincts to control a Mech unit as efficiently as possible than the elite of Korean professional players. So for D.Va her new job is like a video game and she even starts streaming live from the cockpit to her fans.

Heroes of the Storm D.VA abilities:

passive: In Mech mode, D.Va has all of her skills and can use them while moving. If your MEKKA unit is destroyed, D.Va switches to pilot mode, during which she is much more vulnerable, but does more damage. Unfortunately, she has to stop to shoot in pilot mode. While in this form, her abilities reduce the cooldown before she can summon a new mech.

Q: Booster

Movement speed increased by 125% for 2 seconds. Deals 135 damage to enemies hit and knocks them away. D.Va cannot be slowed down with active boosters.

W: defensive matrix

Channels a defense field in the target direction for 3 seconds, reducing the damage inflicted on enemy heroes it targets by 75%. The 'Mech can move but not turn. The damage done by enemies inside the defensive matrix still grants the same charge of self-destruct.

E: self destruction

Catapults D.Va out of the 'Mech and detonates him after 4 seconds. Deals 400 to 1200 damage in a large area, depending on the distance from the center. Only deals 50% damage to buildings. Charges by 1% for every 2 seconds that D.Va carries out automatic attacks. Charges by 30% for every 100% lost life points of the 'Mech.

Hero Skills:

R: Bunny Hop
