Hero Spotlight: Master of Arms

[@JannaLugtu]

Still watching this after 10 years.

[@TSOHun]

I love these Hero Spotlight videos. They are so well made. Master of Arms seems a lot of fun, though imbalanced a little, but we'll see.

[@Goochicus]

Every end to spotlights are amazing. Hats off to you, S2!

[@ZeroIsMany]

HELL YEA! Editing and effects done by probably the greatest HoN machinima makers.

[@TheBrokenSaint]

@Stradivarius8457 one is an ult (damage reduction), and then you have an either or. You can stun or knock back (they share a cooldown). Knock back doesnt slow so unless you have some team backup it wont save you, and the stun is only 1.8 seconds.

[@Haaaseo1]

u always surprise me with a freaking crazy final in all of ur spotlight vids

[@Schwefen]

I can listen to the music in the beginning over and over again

[@ypradof]

Oh my God... I've seen some op heroes by S2 but this looks insane! A carry with an easy stun, slow, armor reduction, aoe nukes and 2 global ultimates?!

[@savagekruger77]

He became a big deal at the later stage of HoN, 5 years and til HoN closed. Arguably the best carry pick.

[@kerespup]

@kRxful It was different with Fayde since it's still the same abilities. MoA however has actual different skillsets depending on his weapon ability.

[@Steelspoon]

Looks like a crossover between Flint Boomstick and Engineer. What an innovative design!

[@LinkPS]

HoN's spotlight videos are always so entertaining to watch, and their heroes infinitely more interesting than League's counterparts. Can't wait to try Master of Arms =D

[@warrust]

@rocketMT out of the 28 Agi heroes so far, only 13 range. It's nice that this agi is actually range so that it balances out.

[@TheTimmehexas]

@speakwithdeath Well lets look at it for a second, when Master of Arms is running away from Deadwood he stuns him with his blue gun then switches to red, after he does this he loses a big chunk of mana and the Accursed shield comes up. Now as all the footage is shot while the hero is still being changed and designed we can just assume the Accursed shield was a place holder for the real animation of his 4th skill shield. Amazing.

[@Fraanch]

Omg such an awesome hero, first new hero since forever that i really really want to play and cant wait.

[@JonnyPlaysLive]

Awesome video as always MsPudding ^^

[@RokaiMusic]

@ytv122 Switching between two guns? You mean like a stance system? Boy, I sure haven't seen that anywhere before!

[@O.C.765]

spotlights are so frigging amazing.

[@taijutsu36]

Master of Arms is a ranged agility hero that is a team supporter and anti-ganker. With two ways to scale into late game, players can choose how they want to max dps with either gun. Master of Arms can also shut down any ganks with his Red Ult shield, making him a perfect counter to gank mid solos. Is this hero worth it for F2P: Yes, as a reliable carry

[@lolookphor]

@DestroyahKuzaki He has a lot of utility so he would be hard to balanced but he looks fun to play so I'm glad he's coming. Don't know if he can be worse than what sand wraith was or silhouettes pre-nerf E.

[@Mmmjamm]

i like how in the start said, warning, a new s2 hero is coming, and even more op then the last s2 hero

[@HolyFriedNoodles]

@rommulus that makes it competitive as it makes a huge difference in the laning phase

[@SaitoAOG]

@Roarpian not just the concept he WAS playable back in beta.

[@edybb]

Looks OP... So many good skills for one hero.

[@HamatoYoshi12]

Master of Arms sounds so fun to play. great spotlight!

[@XlllThirteen]

@Summ109 Actually it is part of the overseer hellbringer skin

[@Glaskruset]

@AnonSubHuman i think the hero release spree they have been on lately has been great work, my new fave hero is ra, hes different than the others and the stun is so fun, so i cant wait for more heroes to be released in the following weeks if this continues

[@blubber444]

@goSuOtarU oh yeah your right ^^ i remember in savage 2... didnt the savage had a railgun or something like that?

[@hoylguy11]

I wonder when they will release the maps editor so we can create cool other maps and games

[@eMtaiLZ]

omfg the best ending of all HoN's spotlights!1! This is my hero... srsly.. this will be on my top five best heroes!!!! great job s2 games!

[@AvengerKit]

Well done, Atleast the 3rd skill shares the same cooldowns with other abilities, so you couldn't change your attack from Red -> Blue and cast another spells. Example : Blue-1st Skill (Stun) -> Red-2nd Skill (AoE Poison+Deduct Armor) All you could do is Blue-1st Skill (Stun) -> Blue-2nd Skill (Forked Lighting) or Red-1st Skill (PushBack) -> Red 2nd Skill (AoE Poison+Deduct Armor)

[@ytv122]

@Kistarcsa The only character in LoL that has a stance system that modifies the other skills would be Nidalee. She is about the only creative character in LoL. That being said, Cougar Form focuses on melee burst and running away/chasing, while her regular form focuses on utility from heals, traps, spears, etc. The two forms don't synergise whatsoever, they mind as well be two different champions. Master of Arms guns DO work together.

[@danw91]

@timergu it's engineers turret. after engnineer abandoned him, he developed feelings, which eventually led to him developing legs, so he could walk away in shame.

[@TenchixRyoko]

that finale remix was nice, wouldn't mind having that blasting in my skullcandy while destroying people

[@fuzyy1994]

Nice hero. I'm looking forward to play him next month.

[@SomeRandomAaron]

@Summ109 Green Malphas' will be added with the new Overseer Hellbringer skin, iirc. :D

[@whitecraneman]

@aimbotjesus bubbles is not a HoN hero... its puck from DotA. he just recieves a slight buff (better attack animation and the shell is faster than puck's orb). S2 also have some well balanced and fun heroes. chipper, madman, bombardier, aluna, puppet master, nymphora, the new tree, electrician, kraken and maliken are some examples of new heroes I think they did a very good job with.

[@Stradivarius8457]

@TheBrokenSaint Even so, just because it's an ult that doesn't disqualify it form being an escape mechanism. Fayde's ult isn't an escape mechanism? Damage reduction and a stun is more than enough, unless you're being ganked by 4 heroes, in which case you just have a bad team.

[@Midaspl]

@rolliecute1235 That 2 games does not exclude each other - I have legacy account in HoN and 1600 ELO/MMR in those 2 (I know it's not impressive big but not so small aswell).

[@BossWdup]

thoroughly enjoy the end mini films.

[@ProcrastinatingGuy]

i give you thumbs up and a virtual high-five for bringing peace

[@robertweekes5783]

@VHBD1 Free to play games with paid features is the best business model for games that are frequently updated, like HoN. Valve did this for TF2, and Valve is the most respected game developer in the world. It isn't economical to keep updating a game when most of the fans have already bought it and there is little increased revenue.

[@Plopsaap]

@PARADIIISECSS Flint is not a dwarf, but an orc.

[@Crescendica]

I like the music :D, It's so epic!

[@NoSkillsNoFun]

great hero, seems rly funny to play and gives you some options to play with (thats what i like mostly about certain heroes)

[@qclegion]

@qclegion wow im dumb , there's a link in the description to download the song !

[@Hovindo]

@Anonymous1218 No, listen to the video, she says he gets the skill by default at level one.

[@nipas1996]

Very useful video in order to learn how to use Master of Arms.Thank you S2!!

[@HeliosAlpha]

People they have not declared if it's EA or not and Diwa said on Honcast that they will try to release 1 EA along 1 non EA.

[@GlaceDeBoules]

Hourrah ! A new Imbalenced hero whiwh will be accessible in Early Access I guess. S2 is doing such a great work for doing imbalenced heroes.

[@prieresminion]

Now that ending is called art.

[@PlasmaPony]

@PARADIIISECSS what, you mean all two? Master of Arms and Engineer? Flint's is a skin that is a homage to Dwarven Sniper and doesn't count.

[@AllteCCC]

@speakwithdeath That is probabbly a placeholder for the ulty of master of arms

[@smoshsesfans]

The presentation is EPIC!!!!

[@Saberblade152]

@flixeris Or play both it's a scary thought to most but in the end it makes everyone happy.

[@Granish]

@MRXylo sounds sweet. But do you think we will have to wait for him like with monkey king ? Cuz that sucks too..

[@kok989]

In Garena Hon , you can play new hero after a week of it released or basically become a VIP.

[@Freyanile]

Master of Arms reminds me of Engineer's first turret. I loved that OP turret :D

[@chapolim360]

@Flowhill You are kidding.... right? OFC is a new skin... or you really think they only made a new skin for malphas.

[@Flowhill]

Mysterious invisible (to not leak) hero seen at 5:04 till 5:15 I think its panda because of the radius stun it makes, maybe a new skin?

[@Biabapumpel]

@JoachimHansen17 They'll never release custom maps. They've allready shown us that they have no interest in implementing such things. For example: Baiting with a Mapeditor for the Release. -> Mapeditor is nearly worthless

[@QueenAbominae14344]

@park0120 Wait... That was just the Alt Avatar for Hellbringer, right??? I thought that comes with the ornamental Malphas behind him already??? You mean to say that it's just a another skin for the Malphas summoned???

[@wohocho]

The endings are always so fun.

[@Kougeki1000]

@miniore there were lots of item changes just last week

[@MicroMasterable]

@iTzApoN I thought that was a hellbringer skin? That comes with the new "Green Malphas". Am I mistaken? :S

[@Phobeus93]

I feel like a kid at Christmas seeing as Hellbringer is my favorite hero. :D

[@XxSasorixX]

Hm, this hero didn't have the Aura from the last hero preview. Guess we are still waiting for that one.

[@Enigmanders]

Seems like there's a new Puppet Master alt avatar on its way :)

[@Simonnnnnnnify]

Great video but when will the Master of Arms be out on the market for silver coins?

[@TheSdasdasd]

i see why smyger and swebyson stopped making vids... CUZ OF U S2!!!!

[@ACJacko1]

@IXIBradIXI later game he is, though his pistol ive heards gets op at later levels for both proc and 4 attacks per second but hes very weak so compare him to flint perhaps

[@dalannar]

@PARADIIISECSS witch slayer and flint both have guns and they are not dwarfs.

[@Roarpian]

@ighost5k You know HON has concept art for monkey king dated back in 2009?

[@Cyr1double93]

i loooove him, i only play for 2 days now! but he is such an amazing character!!

[@lilfroozy]

@DestroyahKuzaki Spotlights are ment to make the hero look great :)

[@NoNameForUser]

If you focus at 5:59 next to monkey king you can see the \m/ rock and roll sign new taunt?

[@riciy]

oh hell yeah, i want that green malphas so bad, does that mean hb alt incoming? will he have legs?

[@Doggy0554]

they finally showing what can be done with there map editor

[@SchafWald]

its nice and i have a idea for an alternativ avatar but i cant post it in forum the idea is an ice hokey fade

[@Mesosolley]

I remember watching the spotlight the first time it came out and then those meteors/flares around 45 seconds made me so excited to play MoA but I was misled :

[@SaitoAOG]

@Roarpian he was like nomad, both originally launched and then removed then later added.

[@Bellabong]

@PARADIIISECSS Because in fantasy Dwarves were traditionally more technologically advanced. Esp if you've played any DnD.

[@icweineer]

the ending to this is freaking epic :D

[@Hemsk]

@f3br3s well, that was incorrect. This is actually the first of the latest three or four. I thought S2 had grown a brain, but apparently not. And here I thought of posting something about the new hero. But well, there was just one word. Ridicilous.

[@Estuways]

best skin introduction ever! lets get it on

[@Naishell1]

there was something at the last teamfight near tower/? did u saw?

[@garmega]

i think thats one of the first times the spotlight hero has died in the video.

[@naidod03]

have you got copyrights for that song LoL both this hero and the next will be so op

[@laurellentwine]

@Summ109 i agree how about nh,magebane,wildsoul,scout and much more if you had problem with pred i suggest go casual no respawn use witch slayer buy codex x5 harkons hell flower and your ulti let see if he could still stand up :)

[@Warrior4Bsoft]

@speakwithdeath that's the old animation of his defensive ulti )))

[@fonsecajean]

Looks like another epic hero.

[@JimmyRussles]

Hey guys! The Mortal Kombat ending was actually made by a guy named RuthlessVoid, go check out his channel, he has some cool stuff on it

[@Pillowfish]

Omg the Mortal Kombat part is EPIC!

[@Crisade]

@Bliesmann looks like soulstealer's skill or maybe gauntlet's ult? xD i think its a rock sign

[@SirLithen]

"Available this Friday", as a 1month pre-purchase or actually a playable hero?! Oh and finally a alt HB skin!

[@Stradivarius8457]

@warrust So you're telling me a stun, knockback, and damage reduction is NOT enough for an escape mechanism? You crazy man.

[@kRxful]

didnt that switch between two stances not work at fayde back when they released her? and now they try it again with MoA??

[@NorwegianQvirr]

Is this my birthday present? I love it!! :D

[@Evellence]

But wait? Hellbringer when take alt avatar do his demon have other spells? I know that red demon have fire spell but do green have some poison or it was some hero in background (veomancer and master of arms) ? I'm confused....

[@nackynick]

guys just check for spaces in the hero list there's no more space in the legion agility,int, and strength and no more space in the strength hellbourne so next will most likely be an int hero unless they change it

[@shadowcurtain]

@Withless92 probably hellbringer skin thsi friday too
