Hera’s Ability
Passive: Commanding Presence
The Defender’s cooldown is lowered by 1.5 seconds for every time Hera uses one of her abilities to harm gods, and Divine Shroud’s cooldown is lowered by 0.5 seconds. If Argus is engaged, he is healed.
Skill 1: Royal Assault
Before Argus may attack through a portal, Hera deals damage to foes in a cone in front of her. This cone strikes enemy minions, sending them flying into Argus’ path. Then Argus swings his fists into the target area, delivering significant damage. His fists do 15% more damage to enemies if they make contact with them simultaneously.
Skill 2: Polymorph
Before sending it out, Hera creates magic in front of her. This ability deals damage to targets it hits. A god’s shape changes into a monster when this power strikes them.
Skill 3: Divine Shroud
Hera envelops herself in her divine strength, giving her a short movement speed boost and damage protection that lasts as long as the shield does. When Argus is engaged, he shines with the same Divine might as Hera, dealing radiant damage and moving faster.
Ultimate: Argus, the Defender
Hera sends Argus hurtling into a place, knocking down and damaging opponents. Argus will launch an attack on the closest target after landing. Hera has the power to recall Argus if he has a target or to reflect this ability onto an adversary to control his movement. Argus will protect Hera while being recalled and will attack anyone who approaches. A standard basic strike by Argus is followed by a ground circle AoE that slows foes by 20% for a second before launching a line attack.
