![]() ![]() Turns out that experiment resulted in one of the most interesting and unique heroes in the game.īlizzard labels The Lost Vikings as a "very hard" to play hero, chiefly because players can control each of the vikings independently. Each viking can be selected and controlled individually using the 1, 2 and 3 keys, or they can be selected as a group with the 4 key to move and attack as a group. ![]() The movement speed and attack range of each viking is different, like the original The Lost Vikings. In Heroes of the Storm, that means that Erik runs faster and will outpace his viking brothers, while the portly Olaf lags farthest behind. The range of Erik's slingshot, however, is longer than Baleog's sword and Olaf's shield bash, so managing the attacks and position of all three can be something of a challenge.īut having three independently controlled characters also has its advantages. Players can position the tougher, shield-equipped Olaf in front of the other two vikings to block attacks or interfere with the movement of enemies. And losing just one (or two) of your vikings doesn't mean you're sitting around waiting to respawn. Smart players can also hide one or two of the vikings in the tree line, in an attempt to surprise their enemies. Some of The Lost Vikings' abilities that were available in the BlizzCon demo included a group jump - their Q skill - that launches all three into the air, effectively making them invulnerable for a short time. A whirlwind-style attack (W) causes each viking to spin around, inflicting damage. Having all three bunched up to do triple the damage to one unit sure seems like an effective strategy. One of their heroic abilities puts all three vikings into a wooden longboat that launches fireballs as they row along, hovering slowly across the map for a limited time. ![]()
