 So, now we're picking up Intensifying Toxin, which, oh god, I'm taunted, I'm taun- Oh, thank you, Hammer! Thank you, Hammer! Oh, jeez, she just pushed me to safety. What's up, everybody? I'm the Mangus, you were awesome, and I'm back to relearning some hots. Today, I'm playing a poison-based deer lady named Lunara. While playing Kerrigan felt like jumping back on a bike, Lunara has been a bit more difficult to get back into, despite her being one of my favorite heroes from the past. Let's cover her abilities real quick. First off, Lunara is one of the few heroes and hots that doesn't have a mount. Instead, she has Dryad's Swiftness that gives her increased move speed, and she has an odd bouncing gait that makes her a little harder to hit with skill shots. Also makes her harder to heal if somebody's using Ana. Her passive, Nature's Toxin, lets you apply a poison that stacks up to three applications. After it hits three, you just refresh the duration. Her first ability is Blossom's Swell. This is a small AoE that deals damage and applies to Toxin's stack. Crippling poison will only become available when you have your Toxin on a target. Activating this will apply another stack and will also slow-afflict the targets. Her third ability is Sentinel Wisp. This is a moving ward that you can place pretty much anywhere on the map, and it's great for keeping you safe in lane or for checking bushes as you traverse the map. Lunara's first ultimate is Thornwood Vine. This holds three charges and sends out a line of damage that also poisons targets. Her second ultimate is Leaping Strike. You jump over a target, giving you some IFrames in the process, and deal some damage which, of course, poisons them. This is the one I take nine times out of ten because it lets you maneuver for outplays, deals pretty good burst damage, and lets you escape some of the more aggressive dive heroes. It kind of seems like Thornwood Vine would be the safer option, but this one is actually a little more safer if you know how to use it. Alright, so Lunara, first talent. Man, it's a little difficult. Sentinel Wisp, you can never go wrong with Sentinel Wisp. Just for more vision is always good. I think Hippity Hop would be pretty good on this map because it is a pretty large map. It needs a lot of movement. We're just going to go with some... Go with the safe option here. We're going to go with the safe option here. Yeah, there's nothing that really needs to be revealed. That's the other one you can pick up the... I'm sorry if it gets on. So let's send our Wisp... Where's our Wisp though? Send our Wisp out to the bush. I think I hit that a little too early or something. Oh, Varian, you killed my Wisp and I missed him with the spewers. That's alright, that's alright. Dance around, I am pretty squishy on Lunara. So I need to be a little carefully. I do want to get some damage on Genji. Got some pretty good damage on him. We'll slow him down. So you really only got two abilities really on Lunara. You're E counts, I guess. But you got your Blossom Swell on your Q and then your W, which slows people down once you hit them. It's like I'm up against a mouth eel. This shouldn't be too bad of a matchup for Lunara, I wouldn't think. Oh yeah, I saw you buddy, I saw you creeping around in bushes. You little creepy, little creepy creep, little peeping Tom. So let's... But how did that hit me? Oh, he just went right for me. I don't know how the... How does he keep hitting me with this? I thought I was out of range. Alright, let's dodge that one at least, damn. Let's just abuse our ranged advantage, keep stacking the poison. Lunara is... She does a deceptive amount of damage. Just all around. Great hero. I enjoy playing her. Not as much as like Kerrigan, but she's still pretty good. You'll notice like even though I support and tank for the most part in the Paragon remakes, and I supported and tank for the most part in Paragon, here's the storm I'm actually... I usually gravitate towards the damage dealers. I don't know why that is. I do play a fairly mean Malfurion if I remember correctly. I just haven't played him in like a... It has to be over a year. Now feels... That did not fucking hit me. That... Okay, buddy. Okay. Okay, buddy. Dude, how is he hitting me with this stuff? No idea. Well, I just walked right into that one. That was just... Okay, okay. He is still taking a lot of damage. He does have the... His camp with him. Finally. I thought for sure that one was going to hit me. I dodged a zig when I should have zagged, but it still... I still got away from it. They need help with this objective, but I really need to clear this shit out. Is he just going to wait for me? He's going to wait for me to rotate for the objective. Yeah, I saw you, buddy. I didn't even throw that wisp. That whisp far enough. Still in there? Yep. There you are. Take a Blossom Swell. Get some Poisonsies. Bam. He's really aggressive. Team? Anybody from the team? But he wouldn't like to help. Yeah, I can't take these two by myself. Can't take a Baryon and a Malfil on my shelf. Ooh, he just went straight for the... Let's get Damagell and the Malfil. He's the easier one to kill. He's going to die. Let's switch over to Baryon. Ooh, Baryon got him. I'm kind of surprised by that. Picked up the kill and the Baryon. I think I did the right thing there, though, switching my Damagell over to Malfil instead of the Baryon. Now, Splintered Spear. Now we're rocking and rolling. Splintered Spear. Level 7 is like a big boost for Lunara. Whenever you put down your Blossom Swell, you're like, I fire out three Spears after it hits. If you saw just now. Which one of them, unfortunately, went onto the gate of the wall. I don't really mind hitting the gate. All right, all right. Starting to get the feel for it again. It's very hard for me to attack move with Lunara, too. I miss a lot of opportunities to basic attack with her just because her movement is so weird. Let's keep stacking Damagell on this guy, on this fella. All right, let's rotate down. See if we can assist. Oh, oh, oh, oh, get the squish. Get the squishers. Okay, okay, Baryon. Okay, buddy. Okay. Okay, well, I can't really attack anybody else. So let's just hit Baryon. Hammer, hit hammer. Oh, oh, God. Oh, God, I'm talented. Oh, oh, Jesus. Oh, got to kill him hammer. That's the fun thing about Lunara. You sometimes people die and you're like, I forgot I even hit that person. All right, so we get the second curse. You're doing all right. We're doing all right. Hogger took. We have a hogger hogger took top lane. Oh, Genji. So I kind of want to go. Thornwood vine for the hammer. But I think I need to go leaping strike for the Genji. That's probably what I'll do. I mean, that'll get me out of trouble a lot too. There we go. Got us out of leaping strike. I should be able to weave in and out of danger. Oh, hammer. Oh, hammer. Oh, we got her with a spear. Is she going to die? She's going to die. Oh, he is. Whoa, he is going in. He is going in hogger hogger. You madman. You absolute madman. Oh, nice. Nice from Jaina. I forget. A ring of frost. That's what it's called her. Nice ring of frost from Jaina. Good shit. Let's go back and top. Whoa. Okay. Okay. You want to fight? You want to fight? Or fight? Nope. Nobody left. Okay. It's fine with me too. I don't have to fight. Oh, Genji fucking. See, I want to get a leaping strike on him. Okay. Can't hit him right now because he's got a stupid and vulnerability up. Damn. Rainer is dealing some damage, man. Remember Rainer was like dog shit for so long. And then they buffed him. I don't know how long ago. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Let's get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. No, no, no, no. Slow them. Slow them. Oof. That was a bad fight. That was a bad fight. I'm surprised I didn't die right there. I don't know how I didn't die. Oh, the drink you drink. Top off and give that one up. All right. Hammer pushing bottom. Let's see if we could do something about that. Oof. Janna going down to Varian. Going down to one Varian. All right. Hammer, let's go. Let's go, bitch. Okay. Maybe I don't want to go. Okay. That wall kind of fucked me. Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Okay. We can tap. We can tap. Oh, my God. How she deal that much damage to me? I mean, she's hurting too, but goddamn. That was a wasted crippling spores right there that I used it on the minions. I thought I was going to get the hammer. All right. Even though I tapped, I got to go back. I'm just way too low against this team. I really got to watch my health total against this team. It's a resource on some heroes. That's not all in our favor. He's got more of a fun body than a full dough for real though. Let's check these bushes. We should be able to see them coming in. All right. If they, we need to get this curse. Well, I guess if we don't need to, but it would be nice to get this curse. Hammer's just down there pushing away. Don't really do shit about that. Try and focus the Genji. Can. Got him a little. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Violent. All right. Variant's down at least. I wish I would have gotten more damage in on the Genji, but oh, Joanna. Joanna, go in. Go in. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. Thank you, Jaina. Whoo. Jaina just saved my ass. All right. I seek the enemies of the forest. That cover what I picked for 13. I don't remember. So I took the album. I forgot what the shit's called, but my slow now no longer has a decay. It lasts a second longer, which I don't really care about. It's that, you no longer have the decaying movement speed. They just get slowed forever. See if we can do something about this Genji down here. I'm our best counter to Genji, I believe. All right. He's going to peace out. That's fine. So as you can see, like our, because we're cursed, the towers aren't doing any damage. And our minions are all at fucking one health. That's okay though. We're, I mean, we lost the tower. If that's all we lose with the first curse this late, oh Genji. All right. Didn't mean to hit him while he was. Oh, God damn. All right. All right, Rainer, enough with your raider. He's got his little, his ultimate is that little thing flying around next to him. Shoot me in my face or facial area. God, missed him. Missed him with the swell. Then with the swell. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I just wanted to come into some damage. It's all I wanted to do. Let's see. Okay. Hammer still hanging out there. God, Hammer is such an unfun hero to play against. So much range and so much damage. Choose a talent. Excellent work. You know what? I used to be pretty good with Chromie. I should give Chromie a shot. I haven't seen her being played a lot of, a lot though. Is she just not good anymore? By the way, if you have tips, Lunara tips for me. Please let me know. I'm very open to anything you got to say. Oh, are they collapsing? Let's see if we can get some of this mouth. You'll slow down, buddy. Slow down. Is he going to zerk back to me? Doesn't look like he's going to. All right. I can't take too much. Okay. Okay. How is he not fucking dead yet? See if we can... Oh, no. Genji got it. Genji got her Joanna, but he is going to die from that. Greystone cleaning up. Nicely done. Or not Greystone. Greymane been playing. That was a... I used to call Greystone, Greymane. Okay, Hammer, you're gone. Done skis. Or Hoggard is pretty good. Yeah, Greystone, Greymane. That's funny that I'm... That's how I get them confused now. Because, yeah, when I first started playing... Well, not when I first started playing Paragon. When they first released Greystone, I used to call him Greymane all the goddamn time. We're not going to kill this dude, but he's giving a shot. Okay, okay. He's a... Or Hoggard going in. We got him really low, though, for the curse. We might be able to get another curse. Defend our Greymane. Boom, got it. Oh, they want to go boss? I'll go boss. So I've got Nature's Toxin, which gives me extra damage to PvE stuff. So I should be able to shred this boss pretty well. Imagine they're probably... Might be getting their boss. Good shit, good shit. You guys want to fight the Genji? Or go fight the Genji? I should just push with this boss, though. Oh, hey, what's up? Oh, man. He took off before... Okay. He took off before I could... Oh, who might get this Varian? Who might get this Varian? What's up, buddy? Oh, God. We got him, though. Freaking Rainer always up my ass. He's always sticking that bayonet up my ass. Hmm. Not a hammer pushing down the bottom. Good kills, though. Joanna and Greymane making it happen. So this should be... This should give us the curse. This is our third one. And we got a boss pushing. Whoa. Now we're sitting pretty. Now we're sitting pretty. Tried to right through their minions. Gonna get some damage on Rainer. All the way to the tower. That's fine. There we go. There's some damage. Okay, okay, buddy. Okay. I picked up Unfair Advantage, which gives me extra damage to slowed targets, slowed stuns, or rooted targets. And since I apply my own slow, it works with that. So now we're picking up Intensifying Toxin, which... Oh, God. I'm taunted. I'm ta... Oh, thank you, Hammer. Thank you, Hammer. Oh, geez. She just pushed me to safety. Okay, so as I was saying, Intensifying Toxin whenever I get three stacks of my poison up on something, it builds extra damage. So we'll be able to melt towers, bosses, whatever the fuck. Whatever the hell we want. Let's go take this siege camp. Let the curse end. Because there's nothing... I really don't want to be on their side of the map right now. No hoggers over there just chilling. Greymane's taking the camps up top. So we'll just finish this one off, and you can see the... the little flashy numbers. That's... Those are the extra damage from Intensifying Toxin. All right, good shit. We got two marked camps up pushing. I bet they're going for their boss. Let me send the whisp down there. And lo and behold, there they are. Can we get in here and do anything? And uh... Genji! Yeah. Take it, Genji. Oh, God. I just jumped right into the rainer. Okay, we got... We got the hammer though. Or rather, the hogger got the hammer. Okay, I'm gonna bring... Oh, oh man, we didn't get the... Jesus Christ, rainer. Oh, he's dealing so much damage to me. I've really got to stick and move with the rainer. Holy shit. Where were you at, Janna? Were you dead or something? All right, so let's clear out this boss. That they just took. I was probably gonna get that. They were shredding it pretty easy. But poor... Poor Greymane rolled straight into that stun. Let's roll with Johanna. Petty scum. A little party up on him. We're gonna give him a little party. A little ambush party. Here we go. Ooh, ooh. I need this. Thank you. I think I've ever mentioned that, but one of the minions in each wave will drop a health glow. I think there's like 10% of your health and mana back over time. Something like that. Okay, this should be... Okay, okay, I can't really maneuver into this fight the way I want to. I should have committed a little harder there, I think. I think that would... I should have just... Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Get out of there, Janna. Oh, Johanna, what the fuck? Where'd she come from? Nice, Janna. Nice, nice, nice. And this Janna's... Dorn it up with these ring of frosts. Johanna, you are very low, baby girl. And yeah, now she did. I don't know what she was thinking there. I seek the enemies of the forest. Gather tribute or face my curse. The chores. Rotate up here, guys. Ooh, she got toned. Oh, but you're gonna die for it. You're gonna die for it. Take them spears. Oh, yeah. I'm a deer, motherfucker. Deers can't really jump. Really fucking high, by the way. I'll know what your experience is with deer. So you get this curse. Oh, there's hammer. Oh, nice. Block off. Oh, God, I need to really watch what I'm doing with these leaping strikes because I'm leaving myself in the middle of their team. I need to correct my angular momentum on those. Hero of the storm. All right, then I'm gonna take another boss that's flying with me. Yeah, you see that intensifying toxin damage. Just wreaking havoc over here on this boss. He's taking so much damage. And we got it. Nice. Imagine their boss should be coming up fairly soon. Minute 25. All right. Well, they're going after Genji. Yeah, come this way, Genji. That's fine. Oh, they got him. They weren't going after Genji. That doesn't straight up got Genji. Jaina should be able to defend that bottom. Let's push with this boss. I grow tired of your petty squabbling. Leave that mark up, I guess. I mean, it'll take care of it eventually. Oh, shit. I'm having a hard time figuring out how, where to approach these fights from, especially with these gates up. Okay. Lost them swell in there. Getting some damage in, but yeah, man. They just can't, they really defended that well. Yeah, I agree. Let's get out of here. When we get out of here, should be an easy curse take since they're all up top. It would kind of be suicidal for them to come in. Easy take, easy take. One more. We got another curse. You want to take that tower? All right. I'm with you. I'm with you, Joe. Oh, Hammer's circling in from the top. Is that the Hunter of Bruisers and her tanks? All right, let's get that hammer. Oh, God. They got pushed back. She'll probably just get out of here. Oh, fuck, she's eating me. Oh, no, no. That was so dumb of me. That was so dumb. Oh, why did I even do that? That was such a poor engage. I should have just left and then I would have been able to defend and whatnot. All they lost was their variant. Oh, shit. That sucked. Hey, now they lost their Genji. And we got the curse. Cool beans. Kind of sucks that we don't really have people up. Take it. Probably should have waited on taking that curse, actually. Oh, Jane. Jane, go fuck that hammer up. Hammer didn't care. Hammer's like, I'm just going, okay, she was pretty close to taking the tower. I probably would have left right there. She definitely wasn't going to just power through a Jaina combo. Got doing up here. Are they going to get this Rainer? No, she blinded in the wrong direction. Oh, Jaina get. Oh, Jaina, Jaina, Jaina, Jaina, Jaina. Yes, I'm blinded. Hey, hey, hey, Jaina used her ice prison. Then fuck that dude over. That was a nice play by Jaina. I think I said something bad about her earlier and I regret it. That's funny. That's all you get though. You get one leaping strike. Now I'm done. All right, let's leaping strike into the fuck. No, get, get into. Fuck, pathing, pathing. The curse is over. Well, come on out. Come on out. Come on out. All right. All right, we go. Sometimes the fucking pathing in this game is so weird. What was it trying to take me? I wonder if they could do controller support for here's the storm. That would be huge for them. Like an established mobile like this, not Genesis, but like an established one that used controller. Oh, that would be so good. Let me write a letter to Activision and let them poor hammer you are. Okay. Whoa, nice wall hammer. Nice wall hammer. That was well done by her. She hasn't made the greatest plays. She has made some good ones. By the way, these night camps, you got to kill the mage first because it gives everybody else ability armor. Same thing when they're pushing down lane. Like you see that blue circle around them. That's ability armor. Hey, Genji. Yeah, you fuck, buddy. Did she push you get him with a blind? Oh, another nice ring of frost from Jaina. Oh, this Jaina is so good with these ring of frosts. Ring of frost this is. Can we just take the game? Just take the game. Just do it up, boys. They need to still be careful very carefully. I almost walked into tower range. Was it? Yeah, I'm with you guys. Let's get out of here. You guys are really low. I'm full health because I'm a little wussy boy. But okay, this is I don't know about this. I don't know about this. Oh, there they come. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, thank God, I leapt the correct way. Oh, you take the damage, boy. You take the damage. Your choice is simple. Well, Narn doesn't do a whole lot of upfront damage, but man, it stacks up quick, especially late game like this. Matthew, are you going to come in with us? I don't think you should, buddy. We are low. We are low. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, whoo. God, that was a risky maneuver right there. That was some risky business. Let's push with this thing and win, guys. Oh, okay, Joe. Okay, I can't just leave you hanging, Joe. I could use your assistance. Oh, you want that curse? Too bad, buddy. Too bad. Zunara's on the, oh, oh man. I was on the prowl. There you go. Vengeance for Arjuana. Really should have just stuck with Hogger and pushed bottom. Got their core down to 92. Our boss pushing in on it. This should be game. This should be game. I don't want to get mucked about this stupid Rainer. Another great round of applause. This gal is just on top of it. And that's game. Woohoo, nice. Nicely done. GG, guys. GG. That was a little hairy there for a little bit, but I don't know. We really brought it back around. I guess it wasn't that hairy, but what the fuck? I got MVP. Seven kills, 26 assists, 23% hero damage. Somebody voted for me too. I'm voting for our tank. Arjuana was on top of it. Take a look at her stats. I'm really curious. I didn't think I was doing that well this game. I mean, I did okay. I think the Hogger did better. Jaina did really good siege damage. I don't know why the fuck they gave me MVP. That's weird. I guess I'll take it, though. Whatever. Mangoose. Special shout out to channel members. Fullish Blood Hunter Jelly Knees Meow. Mixed for Men, Stunt, Farith, and Raven.
