[WAR Official News] Patch 0.28 Goes Live

[WAR Stratics]

We will take the Wrath of Heroes servers offline tomorrow, December 11thth at 7:30am EDT (11:30pm GMT) to implement patch 0.28. At the moment we expect the servers to be back online no later than 10:00am EDT (2:00pm GMT).
The patch will deliver a new Hero, new Free Heroes and more.

Patch Changes

New on the Store

• Grigori the Kislevite has been added to the Store. See the Hero Lineup section for more information.
• Ornate Chest: This item has been updated with additional contents.
• Wood Chest: This item has been updated with additional contents.
• Look for new items to appear on the store periodically!

Hero Lineup

Grigori is here! This veteran Kislevite warrior has joined his blade to the Empire army's cause.

• Since he is inherently immune to being critically hit thanks to his passive Battle-Hardened ability, Grigori is an excellent counter to enemies who are playing crit-based Heroes, or who have built Mastery loadouts focused on critical hits.
• Deadly Wound will set an enemy up for punishing attacks from Grigori's teammates - as long as they're ready for it. Communication is key!
• Dazh's Glory is an excellent candidate for an alternate Mastery loadout for Grigori. When running with a healer-heavy team, the bonus from Dazh's Glory can turn the tide of a battle.

The following Heroes are considered free and available to all during this week:

• Skeetk the Warlock Engineer
• Conrad the Warrior Priest
