DC Superhero “The Flash” Comes to MOBA Game ‘Arena of Valor’
We’ve all heard about Marvel’s widely popular movie Avengers: Infinity War, but let’s not forget about DC Comics for a second. Iconic DC superhero, The Flash, has recently made his way to Tencent‘s popular MOBA Arena of Valor. For those that don’t know, Arena of Valor is a 5v5 MOBA with matches taking place for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. As such, there’s over 40 different heroes to play as with The Flash being recently added.
As part of consistent content updates, The Flash joins other DC Universe characters like Wonder Woman, The Joker, and Superman with more to be added later on down the road. Players who choose to fight as The Flash can deal damage with special moves like sonic boom, super speed, mach punch and cyclone.
From the folks at comicbook.com, here’s a more in-depth look at The Flash’s abilities:
- Sonic Boom – Passive
- Every time The Flash moves 4 units, he will receive one stack of speed force. Upon reaching 10 stacks, The Flash will activate the speed force, strengthening his next normal attack while dashing forward. He also temporarily reduces his target’s movement speed by 50% and deals magic damage. When he hits his target, he gains a shield.
- Super Speed
- After a short charge up, The Flash dashes forward, dealing magic damage to all enemies in his path. The Flash cannot be controlled while dashing and can cancel the dash by using another ability. When The Flash reaches his destination, he can activate the skill again to return to where he started, dealing magic damage. Enemies damaged by the initial dash are dealt an additional magic damage.
- Mach Punch
- The Flash channels the speed force and punches an enemy 5 times within 0.8 seconds, dealing magic damage every time. The last punch deals double damage and when it hits an enemy, grants The Flash an 40% movement speed increase that weakens over 2 seconds.
- Cyclone
- The Flash takes off in a circle and creates a cyclone, dealing magic damage to surrounding enemies for 2 seconds. While he is generating the cyclone, The Flash cannot be targeted by abilities and can move the cyclone’s position at 40% of his movement speed. 2 seconds later when The Flash stops, the vacuum from the cyclone pulls in surrounding enemies, dealing magic damage.
Those interested can pick up Arena of Valor on the App Store for free, however, there are in-app purchases.
