Check Out Heroes of the Storm's New, Very Mobile Character

Blizzard has released the latest in its hero spotlight videos for Heroes of the Storm, this one featuring upcoming character Lunara.

We already knew Lunara, a character from Warcraft, was on the way as a ranged assassin before the end of the year. The new video above breaks down each of her abilities, as well as her overall mobility, which is what distinguishes her more than anything else.

Lunara moves faster than "most" characters in HotS, and her unique movements--she bounds around like a horse--make her somewhat unpredictable and, thus, harder to hit. All of her basic attacks and damaging abilities apply stacks of poison damage to opponents with her Nature's Toxin trait, making it important for her to hit as many different targets as possible.

Here's how her abilities look:

• Noxious Blossom (Q): After a delay, causes area-of-effect damage over a small area.
• Crippling Spores (W): Everyone affected by Nature's Toxin is slowed for a short duration.
• Wisp (E): Spawns a wisp that can be used to freely scout out an area. It lasts for a certain amount of time or until it's attacked.
• Thornwood Vine (R): Shoot an attack in a straight line, damaging all enemies it hits. It has up to three charges and can be fired rapidly.
• Leaping Strike (R): Launch yourself over a target, doing damage and slowing them. It has two charges and can be used in rapid succession.

Leaping Strike is particularly interesting because of how it allows Lunara to move a sizable distance very quickly, as the video shows.

Last week, Heroes of the Storm received its newest patch, expanding the size of the free weekly character rotation.
