Heroes of Newerth Guide

Heroes of Newerth Developer: S2 Games Platform: PC Publisher: To Be Announced Genre: Strategy Release Date: 12-May-2010 Website: Visit Recommended PC: Core 2 Duo, 1.5GB Ram, 256MB Video Card

1. Introduction 

Heroes of Newerth is a real time strategy, but unlike other games of this genre, the number of units you can control is very small (usually one hero). Another important feature is that the emphasis is on teamwork, most battles are fought between two teams of five players each.

The subject is the struggle between the forces of good (Legion) and those of evil (Hellbourne), the action taking place on a battlefield where each faction has half the map.

The buildings, towers and armies are autonomous players available for this confrontation with one of the 60 heroes.

Goal in a game is to destroy the main building of adverse faction - World Tree for the Legion, that for Hellbourne Sacrificially Shrine.

2. Login 

Because of Newerth Heroes is currently in beta, the producers decided that access to those who want to test it to make calls through. So if you want to participate in these clashes should receive an invitation from someone who can give (in general, beta-testers can in turn send three invitations). Once received the invitation, you can get a valid Key, then create your account and download the game from the official site .

Once you connect using the username and password created above, you'll be able to pre-order the final version. Thus, the launch day will be the only game that could use that user.

As you play, you must click the Play Online Game List and then displaying matches available. To connect to one of them just choose it from the list, but you also can create a new game with specific rules.

I recommend beginners how to use the Select Server> Practice, with options, and No Heroes All Stats maps to familiarize themselves with the heroes without losing ranking points (used for ranking online). Practice Test Mode has an option where you can change certain settings, such as the amount of gold available, experience, or objects.

3. Basics

If you play with the setting Heroes All this means that you can choose any of the heroes, who are divided into three broad categories:

1. Power (Strength) has a long life which regenerates quickly
2. Agility (Agility): based on increased armor and attack speed
3. Intelligence (intelligence): focus on the use of spells

Objects can be found in shops, the most important being the main base. Also, some objects can not be obtained only by using recipes that show you the necessary ingredients (recipe on everything you buy at the store). Also, certain special items may be purchased only from stores located in specific locations on the map.Each hero starts at level 1 and 603 gold coins in your pocket. With gold buy items, then you can improve or give you new skills.

Life points are extremely important because your hero will die when it reaches 0 health, therefore, recommend that the first items purchased are those that can regenerate health points: potions, runes or glass.Thus, it will not necessarily have to go back to base to heal your hero when he's hurt and to lose such experience because you are not near the fighting.

Gold is obtained by killing the opponent with the last kick of the heroes, enemy or neutral units in forests.If you miss the last shot, and the enemies die near you, just get experience. As you get experience, level up your hero will grow, and thereby to improve his skills and spells.

The last line of defense is the main building towers in front of each faction. Once they are destroyed, you can attack and destroy the main building to win the match.Groups of soldiers rise buildings for each of the two camps. In turn, they are protected by a system of towers that works as follows: the distant towers give basic invulnerability nearby buildings, so the first turn gives invulnerability of the second, next to the third and the third gives invulnerability buildings generating units. Destroy buildings, your armed forces will become stronger.

In each of the two bases is also a mystical lake, where life and mana regenerates quickly heroes, and any effects approaching unity (including heroes) is quickly annihilated. Also, when a hero dies, he will be resurrected after a certain period of time in this lake, the players having the option to pay an amount of gold for an instant revival.

Runes are bonuses that can be collected by the heroes. They occur every two minutes either left or right in the regeneration of the map and provide improved speed, invisibility, illusions or double power attacks a hero (the damage).

There are two ways to use them:

1. Right click on the rune, and when the hero will achieve its effect will be activated immediately.
2. click on an empty glass, and then click on the rune. In this way, the hero will keep your bottle and rune will activate when you want in the next 2 minutes (the bottle is an object that can be purchased at the store as "bottle").
