NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER & STORY: Syvana the Witch
Syvana the Witch is a hex queen, our 9th hero, in Mystic slot. She hurls a magical spear and slings all new Death Curses
Syvana the Witch has arrived in the dungeons of Red Hill, unlawfully jailed for a kind act turned against her. Luckily, her cell mates seem like good types ...
We are very excited to introduce the 9th hero to Heroes of Steel thanks to the
generous support and patience of our Patreon community.
We worked closely with the patrons who helped us hit the milestone to design the Witch, picking the Mystic slot, voting on her character class and brainstorming her unique and powerful Talents.
Now, thanks to the Patreon support - everyone can enjoy 7 completely new combinations for your team builds. As an enduring Trese Brothers classic, we're so excited to bring new content into this game and to give fans in our community a reason to harken back to the Underdeep.
Syvana shakes up the tactical combat options within the game but also brings a new perspective to the story events that ensnare your heroes, over 1,000 unique lines of dialog and a new Legendary Item.
The fire is burning in the forest, is it you?
Hexing Skirmisher
Designed as a skirmisher, the Witch has many unique abilities that set her apart from the other heroes. One of her buffs allows her to
throw 1-H melee spears at short range
. This powerful buff lets her hit from many angles, staying just outside of the fray. Unable to carry a shield or wear heavy armor, she must be careful to avoid getting sucked into the heaviest of combat.
On top of her magical spear, Syvana
boasts a wide range of hexes and curses
to debilitate her enemies at range. And finally, Syvana can use
Death Curses
, special curses that have chained effects when the target of the curse dies -- the death of these cursed foes might heal nearby allies or harm nearby enemies.
Let us know if you encounter any errors
We've playtested as best we're able, but adding a new character with new abilities affects so much of the game it's impossible for us to account for all possible interactions. If you encounter any bugs with Syvana, let us know at https://discord.gg/TreseBrothers or through the Steam forums, and we'll roll out a patch.
