In Heroes of the Storm , it stays Warcraft-like – the next hero will be Valeera Sanguinar.
After the troll Zul’jin was added to the roster of Heroes of the Storm a few weeks ago, the developers are already working on the next character to enter the Nexus. As revealed on Twitter, it will be none other than Valeera Sanguinar.
Valeera is a Blood Elf and was imprisoned alongside Varian Wrynn as a gladiator. Since that time, they have been good friends, and her loyalty also extends to his son, Anduin Wrynn. Aside from that, her loyalties are neither with the Horde nor the Alliance, but only with her own interests and friends. In World of Warcraft, rogues can encounter her in the Order Hall, where she hands out quests and participates in some missions herself.
In Hearthstone, Valeera is the default rogue, currently ruining the fun for some opponents with a pirate deck. Otherwise, she has made several appearances in the various comics of World of Warcraft, many of which no longer belong to the canon of the story.
While nothing is known about her abilities in Heroes of the Storm yet, it is to be expected that Valeera – similar to Nova and Zeratul – will have stealth to fulfill her role as a rogue.
There is still no specific release date for Valeera. If Blizzard maintains its current pace, we should be able to see her on the PTR at the latest next week (or not – stealth and all).
Zul’jin was the last hero to join the Nexus. Ironically, a direct opponent of the Blood Elves.
