Dota 2 gets a Windranger Arcana, with new model, second style, effects, more

Hot on the heels of Valve's update on when the Dota 2 Pro Circuit will resume, the developer's now revealed the latest batch of goodies for the MOBA game. It's a shiny new Arcana bundle for Lyralei, the Windranger, which features a completely new hero model, items, and loadout pedestal, as well as custom animations and effects, VO, and more to reflect her mystical new style.

"Not even Lyralei herself understood the true extent of her connection with the guardian wind," the bundle's description goes. "With no knowledge of her forebears, or memory of her first days, she could but listen for the truth in the whispers of sun-dappled trees around her, or the howling storms that keep even daylight at bay. But as she grew, and her strange connection with the guardian wind became ever stronger, an unease about her origins began to take hold."

Windranger's new pack is all about unleashing this power of the guardian wind. Her new character model, items, pedestal, and special new animations and effects reflect this, giving the hero a glowing blue aura and ambient swirling breeze that surrounds her. She also gets new death effects for both her and enemy heroes she's taken out.
