UI changes
The UI gets a significant overhaul.
Hero voice lines
Almost every hero receives a lot of voice lines.
Underlords
Hobgen and Anessix are the first two Underlords to join the game with powerful abilities and Ultimates to use. They also have Talents to choose from every 5 rounds from round 10, which powerup their abilities.
Hype
Hype is the resource Underlords use to power their abilities, but it isn’t used when casting an ability. Each Underlord has a unique way it passively generates Hype. They gain five additional Hype for unit kills and lose 5 Hype per second while stunned or hexed. Successfully killing the enemy Underlord will give your Underlord double Hype for the rest of the fight.
Each Underlord has unique taunts which can be heard by all players in the preparation phase and only your opponent in the combat phase. Abilities will always activate when available after Hype has reached the ability’s threshold. Each one has its cooldown.
