Heroes of the Storm is full of champions for all of Blizzards games. The characters, good and bad, usually have a prominent place in the lore of their affiliated game. However a new hero has entered the Nexus, one that you might not expect, but with pretty significant powers nonetheless.

Probius, a Protoss probe, is a builder, but after the StarCraft 2 trailer for Legacy of the Void showed him saving a bunch of Templars from an incoming Zerg swarm, the legend was made. His abilities include:

• Warp in Pylon: Warp in a Pylon that generates a Power Field and Grants vision of the surrounding area. Probius only regens mana while inside a power field. Up to 2 Pylons can be active at a time
• Worker Rush: Activate to gain an additional 50% movement speed for 5 seconds. Taking damage ends this early. Passive: Probius moves 10% faster by hovering over the ground.
• Disruption Pulse: Fire a burst of energy forward, dealing 150 damage to all enemies it passes through. Hitting the center of a Warp Rift will cause it to explode, dealing additional damage.
• Warp Rift: Open an unstable Warp Rift at a location that takes 1.25 seconds to arm, which then slows nearby enemies by 20%, lasting 9 seconds. Armed Warp Rifts explode when hit by a Disruption Pulse, dealing 261 damage to nearby enemies.
• Photon Cannon: Warp in a Photon Cannon that deals 95 damage per second. Lasts 11 seconds. Must be placed within a Pylon's Power Field. Deactivates if it doesn't have a nearby Pylon.
• Heroic Abilities:
• Pylon Overcharge: Increases the size of Pylon power fields and allow them to attack enemies within it for 110 damage per second for 10 seconds. Passive: Pylons gain permanent shields equal to 50% of their max health.
• Null Gate: Project a barrier or negative energy in the target direction that lasts 4 seconds. Enemies who touch the barrier take 64 damage per second and are slowed by 80% for as long as they remain in contact with it.

Probius is currently on the Public Test Realm and should launch live into the Nexus next week.
