CloverGames have posted the details for their latest update on their official blog website for the popular turn-based RPG Lord of Heroes. Lord of Heroes is a great game with constant new events as well as new heroes and costumes being constantly released. The game is releasing new features with every big milestone. 

This month’s update is bringing with it 3 new heroes – Dark Joshua, a 4-Star Dark elemental Cleric class hero, and Earth Nine, an Earth elemental Striker class hero. Earth Zaira, a 4-Star Earth elemental Warrior class hero is also available to be recruited. Apart from these new heroes being released, a totally new feature called “Archives” is also being added to the game. A new Mystic beast hunt event, as well as the new Obelisk season, is also being made active. There’s a lot to be covered in this update and article, so let’s get right to it.

New Hero Dark Joshua

Players have finally been given the much-anticipated Dark Joshua hero skills and introduction. Dark Joshua is the dark element counterpart of the hero Joshua. His description reads “Many terms have been used to describe Joshua—”imperial commander”, “the empire’s hunting dog”, “creator of resentment”, etc. However, Joshua had never settled on a definition for himself; he viewed himself only vaguely as a tool that helps the empire realize its goals. It wasn’t until tragedy struck that he began to change and to ruminate on how he defined himself and on what he had done.” 

Dark Joshua is a 4-Star Cleric-type hero which specializes in heals, manipulating attack bars as well as inflicting stacks of Sap debuff on enemies which helps in boss stages. His 1st skill Pendulum Kinesis is a single target damaging ability that has a 70% chance to land a Sap debuff for 2 turns. This skill also heals the ally with the current lowest HP% if this attack lands as a critical hit. Dark Joshua’s 2nd skill Higher Order is a supportive skill that states he heals the selected user according to the user’s attack power as well as increases the ally’s action gauge by 100%. This skill is unique in the game and is a great skill for PvP areas of the game where slow heroes in your team can be boosted by Dark Joshua so they can move first. The cooldown of this skill is 4 turns but can be reduced to 3 turns if skilled up. His 3rd skill Gravitational Tempest is a single targeted damaging ability that attacks the selected enemy and has a 50% chance to inflict 3 stacks of Sap for 1 turn. This skill also heals all allies according to the user’s attack power if the attack lands as a critical hit. This skill is the burst skill and costs 3 Spirit. Dark Joshua is an offensive supporter/booster, as well as debuffer as he can land stacks of sap debuffs. He demands to be built with a high critical hit rate as well as good accuracy and speed to land the debuffs and move fast.

Take a look at Dark Joshua’s skills in detail-

Pendulum Kinsesis: Attacks the selected enemy. 70% chance to inflict 1 stack of sap damage that lasts 2 turn(s). Heals the ally currently with the lowest percentage of health in proportion to the damage dealt if the attack is a critical hit.

Higher Order: Heals the selected ally in proportion to the user’s attack power. Removes all of the selected ally’s debuffs. Fills their action gauge by 100%.

Gravitational Tempest: Attacks the selected enemy. 50% chance per stack to inflict up to 3 stacks of sap damage that last 1 turn(s). Heals all allies in proportion to the damage dealt if the attack is a critical hit.

Dark Joshua is a hero which was first made to be recruited through purchasing his special hero package. But due to some misunderstanding, this was later changed to be available via using renown. This led to players getting refunded as well as all the players getting a special code – 4BETTERLOH that gave all players the amount of renown required for recruiting Dark Joshua, i.e, 1,000,000 Renown. Players can use this code by going to their Settings?Support?Enter Code.

Outsiders who hear her story often marvel at her strength in overcoming the class she was born into and its accompanying hardships.”

Earth Zaria is a 5-Star Earth elemental hero from the Warrior class. She has a good base attack of 410 and a base speed of 102. Earth Zaira depends a lot on her speed as most of her skills deal increased damage according to her speed.

Her 2nd skill Leaping Assault is an AOE targeting damaging skill that deals increased damage according to the user’s speed and has a 50% chance to reduce the enemy’s attack gauge by 25%.
