The next heroes to join the Heroes of The Storm nexus have been revealed.
Big news for Heroes of The Storm fans today – Blizzard has revealed not just the next hero, but the next two heroes to join the nexus, alongside their respective release dates.
First up will be Chrome – a long-range artillery mage with the ability to bend time to her will – who will launch during the week of May 17. Her abilities are as follows:
- Trait (D) Time Walker
Chromie learns her talents 1 level early - (Q) Dragon’s Breath
After 1 second, Chromie fires a long range bolt, which hits the first enemy Hero in its path for high damage. - (W) Dragon’s Breath
After 1.5 seconds, a rain of sand blasts the target area, damaging enemies. - (E) Time Trap

Target enemy Hero. After 3 seconds, they are returned to the location they were when you used this.
Chromie will be followed by Medivh on the week of June 14, who should be fairly familiar to Warcraft fans. Medivh is another mage character, with more of a support role – he can create portals for his team and become an invulnerable Raven. Here are his abilities:
