Xal'atath is live in Heroes of the Storm with a new Void-focused kit

Blizzard's September 28 live patch adds Xal'atath, a Dark Twilight bundle, balance changes and a Garden of Terror adjustment.

Xal'atath has entered the live Heroes of the Storm roster. Blizzard's September 28 live patch notes confirm her arrival and give players the final ability and talent descriptions after the earlier public test realm preview. Her kit centres on Shadow Mark : its Void Orb marks a target, while the Dark Heart pursues

marked enemies and detonates on contact. Void Step lets her teleport three times; basic attacks charge Void Volley . At level 10, players choose between a charged Void Eruption orb and Void Convergence , which opens a portal to summon Void Minions. Those interactions make positioning and keeping a marked target in

reach central to trying the new hero. The patch also adds a Dark Twilight Xal'atath Bundle , changes Garden of Terror's Shambler scaling, and adjusts several existing heroes, including Alexstrasza, Garrosh and Qhira. The live notes distinguish changes made since the PTR, so players returning from the test build should

check the final numbers before settling on a build. Headline image: official Heroes of the Storm promotional artwork, courtesy of Blizzard Entertainment.
