Heroes of the Storm has featured unique heroes since its conception. And soon, it will add another: Cho'gall, the two-headed ogre that will need to be played by two players working together.
Blizzard has shown they aren't scared to be different with their MOBA: Heroes of the Storm. After heroes like The Lost Vikings and Rexxar, which are multiple characters played by one player, the game will soon feature Cho'gall, a single character played by two players! Officially classified as Assassin, Cho'gall will bring high damage combined with high survivability to the team.
Cho'gall, consisting of heads Cho and Gall, will enter the Nexus November 17th. His release will be different from normal however:
- Ticket holders and Virtual Ticket holders will get Cho'gall for free added to their collections, as well as a small percentage of the rest of all players.
- Whoever does not get him at the start, will be able to unlock him through playing 2 games together with a friend who does have him unlocked.
- If you have him unlocked, besides sharing him with your friends you will also be able to get a significant amount of 2200 gold by winning with him 4 times.
- After January 1st, he will be purchasable as normal for all players who did not get a chance to unlock him yet.
As stated, Cho'gall will be one body controlled by two players. One player will be taking control of Gall, the master of dark magics, while the other will be in control of Cho, who loves nothing more than punching as hard as possible. Whoever controls Cho will be in control of moving Cho'gall. Both players will have access to different abilities, that do work together in a variety of ways:
Cho:
