Heroes of Newerth latest fighter revealed: King Midas

News
By published

The story of King Midas is a tale of how a man's greed for gold ruined his life. The moral of the story would be very different if King Midas could shoot a golden lion out of his chest to heal friends and eat his enemies. "I can't hug my children, but CHECK OUT THIS LION," he'd say.

  • Golden Salvo: launches five volatile flasks in front of him, coating enemies in a movement reducing solvent and dealing massive damage if multiple flasks impact.

  • Lion's Pride: sends a pack of golden lions charging at a target location, healing allies along the way before exploding and damaging enemies.

  • Elemental Warp: causes Midas to melt into the ground, dodging enemy attacks before teleporting to a nearby location, damaging enemies during both departure and arrival.

  • ULTIMATE: Transmute: When Midas lands two spells within a short window, the affected enemies are instantly transformed to gold, stunning them and inflicting bonus damage.
