Innates are abilities that each hero possesses throughout the entire game. These unique abilities can be viewed on the Hero page or in-game by hovering over a new icon between the hero talents and abilities.
Types of Innates:
- Unique Effects: Some heroes gain special effects, such as Faceless Void slowing enemy attack projectiles or Dawnbreaker revealing the whole map at sunrise.
- Ability Changes: Some heroes have abilities that can reach five levels and start at level 1 with a free ability point. For instance, Kunkka’s Tidebringer and Legion Commander’s Moment of Courage.
Facets
Facets allow players to customize their hero’s playstyle to better suit specific matches or personal preferences. Each hero has at least two Facets, viewable on their hero page and in-game by hovering over a new icon between talents and abilities.
