- Shi Honauri crouched on his haunches, staring at the terrible thing in the ashes.
- Nalicana stood before the gate. She brandished the dull key and opened her mouth to recite the simple cantrip that would unite key, gate and Tower. The Sundered Lands would open themselves to Auberean, and the survivors of Yalain would sleep no more. Nalicana would be the last Empyrean no longer.
- Summons a … “decoy” of a Drudge. This decoy uses area-of-effect taunts to attract monsters.
- But there is another way to earn Hero Credits, too. Monsters now drop Tesserae, freely tradable objects that grant a Hero Credit when used. Tesserae can increase your Hero Credit count, up to a certain limit based on your level. For instance, at level 50, a player will have automatically earned 600 hero credits, but they may have earned up to 150 more by using Tesserae.
- In addition, regular skills that scale past 50 have been made more potent in those higher levels, so that there is much more incentive to raise them.
- Duration: Toggle
Effect: increases auto-attack damage by 1 to 25
- Four hit stab attack. Can only be performed after an attempted use of the Devious Assault skill.
- Nalicana thought the Tower's interior would be lightless and suffocating. She imagined that even the rats must have died long ago, had any remained inside when Asheron sealed the Tower away from the world.
- "What is my destiny, then?"
- The passive skills have been re-addressed. Arcane Lore has been left unchanged, but the other passive skills have been reinvented or completely replaced.
- By pre-ordering AC2: Legions, players will be able to create Drudge characters on Legions launch day. The Drudge is a fun new race with a lot of unique abilities. They do have some limitations, however.
- A melee attack. This skill does significantly more damage when the target is vulnerable.
- Nothing like a good back scratch! A self-targeted skill that returns health over time.
- There are more than 150 perks to choose from, allowing for an unprecedented amount of character specialization. Many perks come in several levels – for instance, there are six “Deep Pockets” perks, allowing up to 6 additional inventory slots. Some Perks, such as Jumping Mastery, are provided for flavor only, but almost all of them are useful to different types of characters.
- This letter has provided a broad overview of the general ideas in Hero 2.0. Taken together, these changes have altered the entire post-hero game, making it more fun, offering more character diversity, and providing greater opportunities for strategy and tactics.
- The Drudge way of life is less orthodox than the other races, partly due to their being closer to the ground than most. Drudge buffs are acquired by eating bugs found on the ground. Many drudges also choose to raise rabbits as warrior pets. These short-lived fluffy fiends sacrifice themselves in various tragic ways… but as with Drudges themselves, there’s always another rabbit around to take its place.
- Damage: 7 – 200
Notes: 20% chance to critically strike for double damage.
- But hadn't Maila Realadain used a forbidden spell to save her son Asheron's life from Bael'Zharon's first doom? Had that, too, been an act of evil? Nalicana suddenly realized that Asheron had thought so. He'd always blamed himself for the Sundering and for everything that followed. He had never forgiven himself for surviving the blast that killed his mother and the noble Council. And he had never believed that the disaster of the Olthoi had been beyond his power to prevent.
- And Nalicana's vision blazed as lightning leapt from half a dozen points around the gate, coursing into her unprotected body. The terrible assault blasted away everything that was not pain. Nalicana fell screaming to the ground, the key and her intentions forgotten. As her robes smoldered and burned, a corner of her disciplined mind warned that her heart and lungs were cooking within the Tower's terrible wrath, and that her brain would soon follow. Asheron's old defenses had seen through her disguise and found her purpose. She was an enemy of the Tower. It would kill her to save itself.
- A bloodletting attack.
- A caster-centered, area-of-effect attack.

- A numbing attack.

- Some Drudges like to hit things very hard, but others prefer to throw their weapons. The skill tree provides options for several different types of Drudge templates.
Let’s go over each skill.
- Damage: 12 – 260
- Damage: 2 – 8 damage per second
- Damage: 3 – 75
Additional Damage: 10 – 100
- Damage: 3 – 75
Bleed Damage: 2 – 8

Bleeding
- Delicious Spider
- Devious Assault
- Drudge Dance
- Unlike Skill Credits, Hero Credits are used in bulk. A typical hero active skill might cost 300 or 400 hero credits! You earn 100 Hero Credits per level that you are eligible to be a hero. So you earn 100 hero credits at level 45, another 100 at level 46, and so on. If you become a hero later in life , you retroactively earn all the hero credits you would have earned in the earlier levels.
- Fling Nail
- Focus Re-envisioned, Hero Skills Rebalanced
- - A Burst skill is meant to be used in a pinch; the magnitude of the effect will be quite large, but so is its cool down time.
- Chant skills are vital-boosting effects. They are aura effects, so they can be switched on and off, and affect the whole fellowship. While a chant skill is on, the chanter will constantly lose Focus while players gain health or vigor. If the player runs out of Focus, the skill turns off.
- Force skills are self-only buffs that grant things like armor or damage reflection. They cost a small amount of Focus to turn on, and they take additional Focus each time the player is hit. If the player runs out of Focus , the effect ends.
- Hero 2
- Hero Credits
- Hero Perks
- In a flash of insight, she knew it was all wrong.
- Juicy Earthworm
- Lucky Stab
- And wasn't that for the best? Surely Asheron had not meant for the Sundering to last forever. If he had, why leave behind the Tower, the gate and the key? Why put to sleep what might better be left to die? Sticky webs clung to Nalicana's face as she descended past empty rooms, but she didn't notice them. Her thoughts were torn between her present fears of the strange, brutal, not-quite-Falatacot invaders on Knorr, and of her own memories of the past.
- And there was still one duty to perform before Honauri set out on his own final quest. In his bones, Honauri knew his slow life in this backwater had burned away on Tanua's pyre. Honauri felt the call of the animae again, just as he had been called in his youth. But how could an old and broken Tumerok answer such a call? Only by traveling to the same place Tanua had gone. Honauri would seek the great spirits one last time, but he felt sure he would not meet them in this world.
- "Your people must be reborn. They will need you, Nalicana. Help them."
- New Active Skills
- Note that perks do NOT have level requirements!
- There was no decision to be made. There were only a few more moments to savor the cool breeze, the rustling of the withered corn, and the first drops of an early-morning rain.
- Passive Changes, Stat Rebalances
- Perfect Decoy
- There are also many new hero skills, including another unique skill for every class, as well as more than a dozen new hero skills that are common to all classes. These skills also use Focus, so now Focus is a much more useful and tactical part of the game.
- A melee attack that does additional damage, regardless of the target’s armor.
- Rabid Fiend
