New Battleground - Garden of Terror




Garden of Terror, a brand new 3-lane Battleground, has been added to Heroes of the Storm and is now available for play in all matchmaking queues!

  • After 90 seconds, Night will fall and Horrors will rise within the garden.
    • Venture into the garden to kill the Horrors and collect the Seeds they drop.
    • Night will persist until all remaining Horrors have been destroyed.
    • Collect 100 Seeds and then return to base to take control of a monstrous Garden Terror!

  • Once unleashed, Garden Terrors can use the following powerful abilities:
    • Spore Queen’s Curse (Q)
      • After a short delay, enemy Heroes in the target area are turned into Plant Zombies for 5 seconds.
      • While in Plant Zombie form, Heroes deal reduced damage, have their Movement Speed reduced by 30%, and become silenced.
    • Plant Horror Overgrowth (W)
      • Disables and damages all enemy structures within a large area as long as the Horror Overgrowth remains alive.
      • Deals heavy damage to Minions within its area of effect.

Artifacts



  • Artifacts have been added to Heroes of the Storm, and can be used to modify a Hero’s starting stats prior to queuing for a match in any game mode.
  • Reach player level 15 to unlock the ability to purchase Artifacts and Artifact Slots using Gold.

  • Artifact Slots
    • In order to use Artifacts in-game, they must first be equipped using Artifact Slots, which can be found just left of the “Ready” button on the Hero Select screen.
    • There are three types of Artifacts and Artifact slots: Gem, Relic, and Trinket
      • The Gem slot is automatically unlocked for free at level 15
      • The Relic and Trinket slots can be purchased in any order directly from the Hero Select screen, and cost 2,000 Gold each to unlock.
    • Click an Artifact slot to bring up a list of Artifacts that can be equipped in that slot.
      • Up to 3 Artifacts can be selected for a match, but only one Artifact of each type (Gem, Relic, and Trinket) can be equipped at a time, so choose wisely!
      • Artifacts can be re-selected between games on the Hero Select screen.

  • Artifact Ranks
    • The higher an Artifact’s Rank, the stronger its in-game effects become.
      • Individual Artifacts can be purchased directly from the Hero Select screen, starting at 100 Gold for Rank 1.
      • Additional Ranks can be purchased up to a maximum of Rank 10 for each Artifact, and the cost increases by 100 Gold for each Rank purchased after the first.
        • Ex: Rank 2 costs 200 Gold, Rank 3 costs 300, and so on.

  • Free Gold for Artifacts!
    • All Tech Alpha accounts which achieved player level 5 or above prior to today’s patch have been granted a large amount of Gold in order to help test the new Artifact system.
    • The higher a player’s level, the more Gold has been granted for Artifact play testing.
      • Level 30+: - 75,000 Gold
      • Levels 20 - 29: 35,000 Gold
      • Levels 5 - 19: 10,000 Gold
