‘Vainglory’ Introduces “Vox” and Spectator Mode in Latest Update
Vainglory, an ultra popular MOBA for touchscreen devices, has gotten an all-new update that introduces the most recently announced hero, Vox, as well as spectator mode for private matches. Vox is the third member of the family entering the Halcyon Fold. The previous updates introduced father Ardan and daughter Celeste to the game which we previously reported on. Unlike other characters, Vox uses sound to destroy his opponents and assist his team.While moving through dangerous territory, this new character can emit a sonic pulse that echoes off enemies, revealing them and providing a critical tactical advantage. From there, Vox can attack and cause damage to bounce between nearby enemies.
The recent version 1.3 update also includes Spectator Mode in private matches — a highly requested feature based on player’s feedback. When creating a private party, the captain can now invite two additional members to join the match as spectators, giving them access to all the bells and whistles revealed at PAX East 2015. Lastly, this update also features other changes like new art for skill tiers, changes to gameplay, and rebalancing of some items and heroes.
At the time of this writing, the iPhone and iPad versions are available to download for free, but do include in-app purchases.
