Upcoming Hero Preview: Aluna

 

The powers of a modern day Latina superhero will come to life in Newerth this Friday as our newest hero is unleashed!

Beautiful and spirited, Aluna carries within her the essence of Earth itself -- the old Earth, long since lost to the decay of ages. Endowed with its might, and carrying the power of the moon in a mystical emerald, Aluna strikes at her daemonic foes with deadly speed. Thanks to her skill in battle, she has already become a celebrity among the heroes of Newerth.

Aluna is inspired by the life of a beautiful and spirited actress. Curious who our new Latina superstar is? Stay tuned to our HoN Facebook page for daily updates!

Version 2.0.14.1 - Realingment patch

Version 2.0.14.1
-------------
- Fixed a derp that made tooltips not work at all

Version 2.0.14
-------------
== Store Currency Update ==

- There are now Gold and Silver Goblin Coins in the Store
* Gold coins come from purchasing coins in the Store and on the website, while you receive Silver coins from matchmaking. Everyone has had their current stash of coins converted to Gold coins based on how many coins they have purchased thus far. If you have purchased 2000 coins and you have 2100 coins, you will now have 2000 Gold Coins and 100 Silver Coins. Similarly, if you purchased 2000 coins and currently have 500 coins, you will now have 500 Gold Coins.
- When purchasing items, your Silver coins will always be used first, then it will dip into your Gold coins. There is a coin breakdown showing how many of each type of coin will be used before you confirm your purchase.
* Past items and their prices remain the same
