At Blizzcon, Blizzard have revealed details of the two new Heroes set to arrive in the Nexus. The first is Varian, set to arrive on November 15th, followed by Ragnaros. I have to admit that the arrival of the latter certainly took me by surprise but his implementation looks absolutely fantastic. Below is all the details we know so far, with talents curtesy of Icy-Veins. 

The Opening Ceremony at BlizzCon 2016 just wrapped up, and this year’s community celebration is now well under way! We announced two new Heroes, a new Brawl unlike any other, and a brand new giveaway that we’ve dubbed the Nexus Challenge. You’ll be able to get your hands on most of this new content by the end of this month, but in the meantime, we’ve got more details to share about everything we revealed this morning.

There’s still a whole lot more to come from BlizzCon 2016, so if you haven’t already, be sure to pick up your BlizzCon Virtual Ticket —you won’t want to miss a single moment of the action this weekend!

Heroes Announced!

Varian

Melee Warrior

Never one to back down from a difficult task or shy away from the front lines, King Varian Wrynn has always sought to do what he believes is best for his people. Without question, he is eager pick up a sword and shield in defense of the Alliance, Azeroth, and now. ...The Nexus. There is no opponent too great nor battlefield too harsh to stop Varian from leading those around him toward victory.

Great leaders know that a successful conquest requires the flexibility to adapt to any new challenges that may arise on the field of battle. Through talents, Varian can be built to fit several different disciplines and is the first multi-class hero to enter the Nexus. Be the shield your team needs by taunting enemies and soaking tons of damage, or split Shalamayne into its component swords and lead with your blades to cut down any who stand in your way.

Ragnaros

Melee Assassin

From deep within Sulfuron Keep in the Firelands, Ragnaros has turned his fiery gaze toward the Nexus in his conquest to bring about the end of days by purging all life in flame and ash.

Harness the volcanic wrath of The Firelord to call down flaming meteors, crush foes with the explosive might of Sulfuras, and summon lava waves that will incinerate an entire lane's worth of enemy minions. When faced with a counter-attack, Ragnaros can empower a Fort or Keep, becoming a towering inferno over the structure and gaining a second set of abilities that will help you engulf assailants in the fires of doom. Ally yourself with Ragnaros to bring about a new era of destruction in the Nexus and show your opponents the true meaning of the words "raid boss".
