Sapphire is a ranged agility hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Sapphire of the Crystal Caverns is an ancient being, the last of her race of elemental channelers who once served as arbiters in the conflicts between Man and Beast. Sapphire lived among the tribes and packs of The Savage Lands, where the bloodshed was greatest, for she knew that if she could help create a peace there, the rest of Newerth may follow. She called sworn enemies to meet within the Crystal Caverns, deep beneath the northern Sang-La Mountains, to share their grievances and find common ground.

The crystals served dual purposes -- their energies created a soothing environment that made anger and resentment seem far off, like thunderclouds passing on the horizon. But should hostilities actually break out, Sapphire could channel those energies into spells that would incapacitate, protect, and, if necessary, kill.

Her efforts, and those of the other arbiters, seemed to be going well. Then came The First Corruption, and the eras of The Bestial Shift, Tooth and Nail, the Beast Bone Years...more and more corruption and death. Sapphire's hopes for a lasting truce between steel and claw dwindled. Peace was a jest, a word and notion that mocked her. The only remaining glimmer of a chance lay with the Red Sand tribe and their Warchiefs, who wanted to live in harmony with the Beasts -- with all beings, truly -- if the world would only let them.

When they were massacred by Apex's soldiers, leaving only the Warchief and Sapphire remaining, she finally realized why her beloved, healing crystals also possessed the power to kill. She had learned the hard way that sometimes peace required the utter and complete destruction of those who opposed it.

 
  Sapphire is a ranged agility carry who also packs some solid teamfight utility. Unstable Shard can be used to farm and harass early, and a well placed Crystallize can setup Unstable Shard to do a lot of damage in fights throughout the game.
