NEW HERO

---

This Halcyon Well guardian is a snarling, frightening sight in the jungle. He stalks prey, closes in with teammates, flanks targets and creates challenging, multi-front confrontations. Stay near your allies and bite and claw your way to kills.

Read the lore:

• A Story for Everything
• Destruction of the Temple

Fortress will be unlockable with ICE only for the first 7 days. Afterward, you will be able to unlock Fortress with ICE or Glory.


Abilities

---

Packmates Slot: Heroic Perk When Fortress is near an allied hero, he will move faster after 1s. He will maintain this move-speed bonus so long as he's alongside any allied hero.

Truth of the Tooth Slot: A Fortress lunges at his target and marks it, granting allied heroes increased move speed and lifesteal towards his target.

Law of the Claw Slot: B Fortress claws his target, causing it to bleed for several seconds. After receiving 6 basic attacks from Fortress and his allies, the target is dealt a burst of damage based on its maax health and receives mortal wound (reduced healing). Overdrive: At max rank, the burst of damage additionally slows the target by 40%. Bleeding damage per second: 10 (+15% crystal power)

Attack of the Pack Slot: C Fortress summons a pack of wolves. Each pack wolf seeks out a different enemy hero. It takes three separate attacks to kill a pack wolf. Wolves apply bleeding with their basic attacks. Wolves take normal damage from abilities and are granted 20% of Fortress' bonus defensive stats. Fortress gains fortified health and attack speed when the wolves are summoned. Wolves take damage equal to 75% of their max health from turrets.
