Some terminology used in matches may be confusing for newer players. We here at WAR Stratics have your back with this glossary of WoH slang.

A-bomb. An Archivist with a triple damage buff. It hurts. Trust me. Don’t let Archivist get a triple damage buff. Or else.

A-team. A team made up of only the 4 heroes that start with A. Aessa, Albodi, Amenadresh, and Archivist.

AC – A team comprised mostly of Aessa and Conrad. This is usually only played on Mourkain Temple, sometimes Arena.

BFP – Black Fire Pass.

Birdman – The Lord of Change from the Power Unbound perk. Also loc.

Borc – The Black Orc hero Bax. Also BO.

B-dub – The hero Felicia, who is a Bright Wizard. Also BW.

Chosen – The hero Albodi

Crit up – The perk Glory. Makes all attacks by a team critical for 10 seconds.

Cotton Candy – The Absorb Vitality perk. It looks kinda like cotton candy. But it definitely isn’t sweet.

Disengage – Stop a fight in progress in order to escape or gain a superior position. Felicia with Massive Blasting slotted dropping Rain of Fire on an enemy team while your team runs away is an example of this.

Eng – Engineer. The hero Durrig.

Fatman – The hero Drulg.

Guard – The hero Aessa’s 5 ability Elite Bodyguard. It transfers incoming damage from allies to her, much like the Guard ability in Age of Reckoning. Also EB.

Hot Potato – Using pulls and knockbacks to keep an enemy in the air for an extended period of time. Commonly done with multiple Rat Ogres on the same team.

IB – Ironbreaker. See Tin Can.

Initiate – Creating a temporary mismatch of numbers to start a fight. Most often this is done with a powerful crowd control effect. Volrik pulling a target creating a 1v6 is a classic example.

Kite – Running away from a melee hero or line. Often done by ranged heroes by placing snares and roots to keep distance while running.
