The powers of a modern day Latina superhero will come to life in Newerth this Friday as our newest hero is unleashed!

Beautiful and spirited, Aluna carries within her the essence of Earth itself — the old Earth, long since lost to the decay of ages. Endowed with its might, and carrying the power of the moon in a mystical emerald, Aluna strikes at her daemonic foes with deadly speed. Thanks to her skill in battle, she has already become a celebrity among the heroes of Newerth.

Aluna is inspired by the life of a beautiful and spirited actress. Curious who our new Latina superstar is? Stay tuned to our HoN Facebook page for daily updates!

The Latina superstar turned out to be Paula Garcés. The beautiful actress from movies like Harold and Kumar, Clockstoppers and Warehouse 13.

But enough about Paula! Lets get to Luna and see what S2 has released so far. Lets begin with her teaser video.

NEW Aluna Teaser Video

Aluna’s Skills

Emerald Lightning

Description: Aluna launches a bolt of lightning that bounces off her enemies, stealing their attack speed and leaving them stunned.

Ulti Effects: Increases attack speed drain and stuns the last target for longer duration

Notes: This skill seems similar to Voodoo Jester’s Acid Cocktail although it has a variable effect based on how many targets have been hit. More targets means more attack speed for Aluna. Also as the lightning bolt bounces on units and heroes its effects become stronger, increasing the stun duration and amount of attack speed drained.

Power Throw

Description: Channeling her strength into a single throw, Aluna is able to throw her weapon with deadly speed and accuracy.

Ulti Effect: Gives infinite range and deals full damage for all units it hit.

Notes: Seems like a skillshot, similar to valkyrie’s javelin. Deals damage to units in its path but damage amount is diminished after hitting each unit.

Deja Vu

Description: Aluna can see the past and future on the surface of moonlit water, and she can travel there under proper conditions.

First Activation: Movement Speed boost

Second Activation: Creates an illusion that backtracks the way she came from - similar to Dota’s Nerubian Weaver’s Time Lapse. Also causes move speed debuff to enemies

Third Activation: Teleports to the running illusion.

Notes: This skill is useful for juking and confusing enemy heroes which are chasing.

This skill is probably what will define Aluna, giving her immense mobility to setup and escape ganks.

Emerald Red

Aluna’s emerald draws its power from the moon and increases the potency of her other abilities.

Notes: This skill boosts all her other abilities but seems to have a high mana cost.
