Vex
On Wednesday, 18 October 2023, Hero Wars invited players to join their live stream on YouTube to meet Vex and also to take a learn about the new event.
During this live stream, players were able to procure rich rewards by participating in the chat and by engaging with the streamer.
Ves is a new skeletal pet that specializes in long-range physical DPS support. To acquire this new pet, you have to participate in a limited-time event, Creatures of the Night, which began on Thursday, 19 October 2023.
Players should note that the event, the quests and the special map will be removed from the game on Thursday, 26 October 2023.
During the event, you have to complete tasks to earn Noctu Orders, which you can use to fight enemies on the event map.
You will then earn Essence of the Afterlife, which can be used to purchase items in the Event Shop.
Players can also use their Essence of the Afterlife to summon the new skeletal pet, Vex. After getting Vex, you can use him to battle the Archdemon and his evil army.
Vex’s skills
Similarly to other pets and heroes in Hero Wars, Vex has unique skills that can be used to vanquish foes on the map.
Several players believe that Vex will change the course of the game since his skills are extremely powerful.
The table below lists Vex’s skills and provides a description of each:
| Ability | Type | Description |
| Noxious Cloud | Ultimate | This ability will target the entire enemy time, which applies a physician damage over time effect to everyone. With each tic of damage, the opponent team’s armor is reduced. |
| Curse of the Flesh | Passive | It curses the enemies with the lowest health with a debuff that causes them to take additional damage when they are attacked with basic auto-attacks. |
| Deep Wounds | Patronage | The hero Vex is patroned to be able to apply a stacking debuff to an enemy every time they perform a basic auto-attack. This debuff enhances the physical damage received by the hero, and allegedly by all allies and not just the patroned hero. |
How much does Vex cost?
You can use your Essence of the Afterlife Coins to purchase Vex from the event shop. Keep in mind that the higher the quality of the Vex you want, the more expensive he will be.
That being said, you do not need to purchase the highest quality Vex as you can upgrade him after purchasing the new pet.
The following table lists Vex’s price at varying qualities:
| Vex quality | Coins |
| 1-star | 1000 |
| 2-star | 5000 |
| 3-star | 14 000 |
