Recently, S2 announced that they were working on a new hero. At the time of the announcement they also mentioned that no information on the new hero had been previously released. Lucky for you, we here at GameReplays are always on top of things and one way or another, always get the inside scoop on all the dirty details.
Unfortunately, we've only received written details of the new hero so there won't be any concept artwork to view, but we do have the skill list and a brief description of this beast of a hero.
The Saboteurs
Hero DescriptionThe Saboteurs were sent to infiltrate the Hellbourne as double agents for the Legion centuries ago. At first, the Legion's plan seemed to be working as key information on the Hellbourne reached Legion commanders. Soon however, the flow of information stopped and the Saboteurs were forgotten. Having succumbed to the great power the the Hellbourne influence, the Saboteurs now fight for those who were once their enemies - using a combination of magic and modern explosive to clean the battlefields of their former allies.
