Riftwalker is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Manipulator of the forbidden arts, she reaches into the realms of the ancient evils. She seeks to discover more secrets that the Legion has forgotten, lest the Elder Gods awaken. Tapping into the darkness, she draws forth unholy power to aid the hordes of her liege. Do not let her pleasant demeanor fool you. The Riftwalker fears nothing and will serve only those who will aid her mad quest for power.
 
  The Riftwalker is a unique hero that can initiate on an enemy team without the assistance of a Portal Key. Both inside and outside of a teamfight, the rest of Riftwalker's abilities give her great utility in a supporting role.
