Glacius is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth. He is based on Crystal Maiden from Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars.

Info[ | ]

Lore: The legends of Frostfield speak of a mighty warrior in a frozen prison who would break free when Newerth needed him most. On the eve of the Hellbourne invasion, a man made more of cold than flesh emerged from the tundra. Wrapped in mist and armored in ice, the stranger claimed the name Glacius, but when he aligned himself with the Hellbourne daemons, he shattered what hope his people had left.
 
  As one of the few heroes who has a global aura, Glacius affords his team vastly superior mana regeneration when Chilling Presence is leveled early. Tundra Blast and Ice Imprisonment are also very powerful throughout the entire game, while Glacial Downpour does massive damage if an enemy is caught for the full duration.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Glacius was initially a Hellbourne hero, and was changed to a Legion hero in Version 0.1.42, and back to Hellbourne in Version 2.0.16, making him the only hero to have changed sides twice.
  • Glacius's Legion lore:
The berserker warriors of the land of Frostfield have long had a legend of Glacius, an ancient warrior who would break free of his frozen prison when the lands of Newerth needed him most. When he did not appear to combat the Beast Horde, many lost faith. But on the eve of the war with the Hellbourne, a man made more of cold than flesh emerged from the tundra, wrapped in mist and armored in ice. The stranger claimed the name Glacius, and his potent magics have made believers of those who doubted his identity.
