Vainglory Update 2.21: New Hero Varya And More

Varya is the newest addition to the heroes’ line-up of the mobile MOBA Vainglory, which is introduced with Update 2.11.

New Hero: Varya, The Lightning Incarnate

Varya is an electric valkyrie who devastates enemies by chaining together her abilities to deliver massive damage. Call upon her ultimate, Anvil’s Hammer, to unleash a series of lightning strikes on every enemy hero, no matter where they are on the map.

Hero Abilities

	CHAIN LIGHTNING (HEROIC PERK) Varya's attacks deal crystal damage. If Varya holds her ground after attacking, she will strike her target and additional enemies with a bolt of Chain Lightning. This bolt deals the same damage and consumes energy.
	STORMFORGED SPEAR (A) Varya throws a lightning spear that deals damage to the first enemy hero hit. The lightning will then bounce to nearby enemies dealing damage. Stormforged Spear has a reduced cast time when used during or after Arc Recursion.
	ARC RECURSION (B) After gathering power, Varya's next two move commands will instantly dash in the chosen direction, dealing damage to nearby enemies upon arrival. Varya gains energy and some of her health as barrier for each enemy hit. Varya can cancel this early to dash a single time.
	ANVIL'S HAMMER (ULTIMATE) After channeling, Varya calls down a series of lightning strikes on all enemy heroes, dealing damage per hit. Ranking up this ability increases Varya's attack speed and the number of enemies struck by Chain Lightning and Stormforged Spear.

Hero Talents

	LONG STRIKE (RARE) Stormforged Spear (A) deals more damage and stuns on impact.
	STATIC BARRIER (EPIC) Arc Recursion (B) grants additional barrier and charges up more quickly.
	THUNDERSTORM (LEGENDARY) Anvil's Hammer (Ult) delivers two additional strikes and no longer has reduced damage for consecutive hits.
