Solstice is a melee strength hero in Heroes of Newerth.

Info[ | ]

Lore: Among the tribes of the moon, there lives an elite caste of warriors. Like Krixi, the Moon Queen, these women draw their power from the rays of Lunari. As children of the Moon Goddess, the rays of Sol burn their flesh, forcing them to construct a vessel to channel Lunari's might during the day. The magicks used were so potent that only a chosen warrior, born in perfect balance between light and darkness, could harness its vast power by being forever bonded to her armor. In the night, the chosen can retake her true form and strike from the shadows, free from her confining shell. Be it through strength by day or stealth by night, Solstice, the Lady of Lunari, stands ready to show her enemies what power truly is.
 
  Solstice changes her role from a more tanky, team-fight presence during the day, to an agile ganker during the night. Look for ways to set up your ultimate from outside of enemy's vision range in order to deal the maximum damage!

General[ | ]

Solstice will switch forms depending on the time of day. In Day Form, Solstice can use Blinding Rush, Shining Rays, Solar Slash, and Breath of Sol. In Night Form, Solstice can use Shadow Dash, Luminescence, Crescent Strike, and Lunar Judgment.

With Staff of the Master Staff of the Master, Solstice no longer switches forms based on time of day and can manually switch between forms.

Notes
  • Solar Slash adds bonus damage and lifesteal to the primary target, which works with Critical Strike and Lifesteal.
  • The Cleave is an affector that deals static Physical Damage and heals Solstice for 10/15/20/25% of the damage dealt, proportional to post-mitigation damage.
  • Solar Slash's Cleave will not deal Magic Damage if Harkon's Blade is toggled on.
  • Despite behaving like a Cleave, it is not marked as a Splash or Cleave type effect, so it will cancel out Succubus Mesmerize Mesmerize or Consumed by Power from Gauntlet Gauntlet Blast Gauntlet Blast, and it will deal damage to Shiver.
  • Deals 88/132/176/220 Physical Damage to non-hero units.
