Heroes of the Storm has been updated to bring both Fenix, the new playable Hero, and the Starcraft 20th anniversary items into the game. Fenix has been a mainstay in the Starcraft series as one of the greatest heroes of the Protoss. In addition, players will score some new Starcraft-themed portraits. Lastly a number of UI improvements and battleground adjustments have been added alongside tweaks to Varian, Li Li, and Tracer.
As one of the greatest heroes in protoss history, Fenix’s deeds on the battlefield are legendary. After falling to the zerg during the invasion of Aiur, his body was recovered and implanted into a dragoon so he could continue to fight. Not even death can stop Fenix from achieving glory and valor.
