Calamity is a ranged agility hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Sister Arete of the Sacred Order believed Sol had set her upon a path to be King Jeraziah's Queen and provide him with an heir. When she finally mustered the courage to forsake her vows and present herself to the king, Jeraziah accused her of being a daemon herself, trying to tempt him into the sin that would cast his soul down to be condemned by The Three Judges of All and forever imprisoned by the dragon guardian Sunder. Devastated, Sister Arete gorged on poison and damned her own soul. This is what she wanted. The Three Judges sent her to face Sunder, who hoards the souls within the Vault of All Hells, where she used her mastery of the dark arts to make the fearsome guardian her pet. Now she has become Calamity, breaking open the doors of hell and unleashing an endless stream of tortured souls upon Newerth. But she cares not about this. She will kill every one of Jeraziah's advisors, soldiers—even his savage sister—until only he is left standing, and then she will stand beside him, ruling the Third Corruption together.
 
  Calamity is a fragile magic damage powerhouse who relies on positioning and finesse for her abilities to land. With the ability to siphon stats and movement speed from enemy heroes with Funeral Pyre and displace them with Firebomb, she's able to keep them at bay for her Dragon's Path and Sunder's Vault to hit.
