Hammerstorm is a melee strength hero in Heroes of Newerth. He is based on Sven from Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Mighty and stoic, this famed warrior left behind the ruins of his home for a place in King Maliken's first Legion. From boyhood on, he has known nothing but battle, and his silent determination and deadly strength have earned him the epithet "Hammerstorm." Every blow of his hammer resounds like a death knell across the battlefield.
 
  Hammerstorm revolves around performing well-timed Hammer Throws to Stun opponents, then following up with relentless pounding amplified by Brute Strength. A Shrunken Head will go a long way in keeping Hammerstorm alive.
