SILVERNAIL: THE BOUNTY HUNTER WITH
A POWERFUL CROSSBOW & TRIPWIRES

Take control of Silvernail, a ranged carry who wields a powerful crossbow that fires massive bolts, and tripwires that’ll stop enemies in their tracks.

Silvernail specializes in controlling the battlefield through strategic use of his tripwires to block off entire sections of the map. Once he isolates his target, he uses his giant crossbow to send his foes to the afterlife.

Silvernail is only unlockable with ICE only for the first 14 days. After that, you’ll be able to unlock him with ICE or Glory.


HERO ABILITIES

DOUBLE SHOT (PERK)

Silvernail loads an extra bolt into his crossbow which can be expended to chain a follow-up basic attack, dealing damage. The availability of Double Shot is shown by the white bar underneath his energy.

• Attack speed reduces load time.


STAKE

When Silvernail activates his first ability, he plants a Stake into the ground that can form a tripwire between any other nearby Stakes. This means that Silvernail can create tripwires in all kinds of configurations in order to best suit the battle at a given time.

Enemy heroes that cross through tripwires are briefly slowed, silenced and take damage over time. These tripwires will also block dashes.


CAUSTIC BLESSING

Silvernail’s Caustic Blessing lobs a flask that deals damage in an area and reveals enemies hit for a short period of time.


REBUKE

Silvernail’s ultimate, Rebuke, fires a piercing bolt that deals damage and impales every enemy in its path. Those struck by the bolt are dragged along the path and are stunned if they collide into a wall, structure or tripwire.


SILVERNAIL’S TALENTS

BOLT ACTION

Double Shot (Perk) fires an extra bolt. Rebuke (Ult) has increased range.


CAUSTIC BOUNTY

Caustic Blessing (B) throws two additional flasks.


TRI-WIRE

Stake (A) forms a tripwire triangle around target location.


PSA: USE YOUR SUMMER KEYS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR

Summer season is coming to a close which means that soon, Summer Keys will disappear from your Player Inventory. Remember, you’ll need to collect 10 Summer Keys to open the uber rare Rainbow Tabby Skaarf Chest.

GET SUMMER KEYS IN UPCOMING EVENTS

Close to getting 10 Summer Keys? Keep an eye out for upcoming events with Summer Keys as rewards; participate so you can get ‘Rainbow Tabby’ Skaarf!

Have extra summer keys? EXCHANGE THEM FOR ICE!

Toward the end of Summer Season you’ll have a chance to exchange your Summer Keys for 150 ICE EACH. If you don’t think you’ll accumulate 10 keys before Summer ends, make sure to exchange them! This option will no longer be available when Fall Season begins.

Vainglory Esports in 2018

  • Vainglory
  • |
  • Aug 03, 2018

Hey guys–ReadyPlayer1 here. I’m excited to finally bring you up to speed on what’s rolling out with esports around the world this year. So let’s jump right in:


WORLD ELECTRONIC SPORTS GAMES (WESG)

We are stoked to participate in the Alisports-hosted competition; World Electronic Sports Games (WESG). Differing from traditional tournament styles, WESG touts national pride above all. The tournament will feature eight country qualifiers and a prize pool of over $100,000. Teams will compete for the opportunity to participate in the WESG Grand Finals, held in early 2019.


NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE: VAINGLORY PREMIER LEAGUE KICKS OFF SATURDAY, AUGUST 4 9AM PT

Courtesy of our partners at ESP… Vainglory Premier League (VPL) is back, baby! Look forward to intense, best-of-three action with some of Europe and North America’s best of the best on twitch.tv/vainglory. Teams from each region will clash to take home their share of a $5,000 prize pool. Here’s the breakdown:


NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE

The 2018 World Invitational will be hosted by ESP Gaming at the end of this year. Details are pending as we work with ESP Gaming on how each region will present a team to this event, but want to make sure to still bring a clash of international competition to the stage in 2018.

There will also be non-ESP Gaming tournaments in both of these regions. Keep an eye out for the VGL tournaments coming to Europe, PayDay.GG sponsored tournaments in North America, and even more with Autumn-timeline announcements.


southeast asia

SEA has passionate and committed players that span a number of countries. In order to make sure we have competition in as many of these as possible, we are working on a multitude of partnerships in the region. Excitedly, some of our SEA locations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, have already seen competition this year through partners and/or community organizers.


china

Our partner Giant continues to pioneer our esports program in China alongside community leagues. With the China preseason completed, the main competitive season is already underway and we expect to see even more opportunities pop up as we approach Autumn Season. The current prize pool for the China Vainglory Professional League is just over $20,000 USD.


EAST ASIA

Esports competition in East Asia is already underway! Eight teams made it through a tough qualifying round:

With qualifiers behind, these remaining powerhouses will go head-to-head for the next eight weeks in best-of-one matches. Teams will compete to take home their share of a $3,000 prize pool, sponsored by VGPRO.gg.


SOUTH AMERICA

We are still actively working on finding the right partners that will be able to facilitate competitive opportunities for players in South America. We don’t have news to share at the moment; however, we’re committed to bringing competitive Vainglory to South America so you can showcase your skill and competitive.


Thank you for being one of the most passionate and outspoken communities. Our goal has always been to develop Vainglory to be the best gaming experience for both players at the competitive level to our wider community base. Leaning into our partners (local & global) allows us to do exactly just that! These partnerships will enable us to bring competitive play experiences to life and give leave to the team to continue to shape the Vainglory experience for you.

I’ll be in chat tomorrow from 9-10AM and again at 12-1PM (PT) if you want to say hello, ask any questions, and provide feedback!

That’s it from us for now! There are a lot of exciting esports events happening around the world this year. Make sure to tune in and support your favorite teams!

I’ll see you on the rise.

BUG FIXES & PERFORMANCE


ANKA: AN ELUSIVE AND BURSTY ASSASSIN  

Tiptoe around the Halcyon Fold and Sovereign’s Rise with Anka, a crafty new assassin who’s as squishy as bubble wrap, but can deal massive damage in the blink of an eye.

Initiate your attack with Anka’s A, Shimmer Blade, to throw a dagger in a selected direction. Once your blade makes contact with its target, tap again to blink to your victim then hit ’em with her B, Dance of Blades, to deal even more damage.

For Anka’s next trick, activate her Ultimate ability, Mirage, to dash in a targeted direction and split off into three clones that deal damage to enemies they pass through. During this dash, Anka is invulnerable.

Anka is unlockable with ICE only for the first seven days. After the first seven days, you’ll be able to unlock her with ICE or Glory.


HERO ABILITIES

GYTHIAN PROMISE (PERK)

After a short cooldown, Anka’s next basic attack on an enemy hero becomes Execute Strike, dealing bonus crystal damage equal to a percentage of the target’s missing health. Additionally, Anka fully refreshes Execute Strike and Shimmer Blade upon getting a hero kill or assist.


SHIMMER BLADE

Anka throws a dagger in the target direction, dealing damage to the first enemy hit. When the dagger hits an enemy, Anka can reactivate the ability within a short duration to blink next to the victim.


DANCE OF BLADES

Anka throws five knives in a cone, dealing damage to all enemies the knives pass through. Each additional knife after the first deals damage equal to [ExtraHitModifier] of the initial damage.


MIRAGE

Anka dashes in the target direction as she splits off three clones, becoming invulnerable during the dash and dealing damage to enemies she and the clones dash through. Her clones dash back to her momentarily afterwards, dealing damage to all enemies in their way.


ANKA’S TALENTS

GALE BLADE

Bonus movespeed on reactivating Shimmer Blade (A) is increased and lasts longer.

 


 

GYTHIAN TEMPEST

Gythian Promise (Perk) refreshes all abilities on hero kill/assist. Anka passively gains crystal power.


 

CRIMSON BLADE

Shimmer Blade (A) has greatly increased range, lower cooldown and increased damage.

 


 

COLLECT ‘EM ALL: GET THE NEW KRAKEN & MINION PINGS

They’re adorable. They’re collectable. They’re here! Communicate with style while you kick ass with Kraken and Minion pings. Each set contains five unique pings to show off. Individual pings from both sets have a chance to drop in your Spoils of War (look for them in the Market, too!). You must collect the entire set to use them in game. 

Want to see which pings you own? Tap on your Player Inventory from the home screen, then on your pings.

Event-Exclusive Skins: Participate to get Special Content!

  • Jun 27, 2018

Summer is in full swing! To help you beat the heat, we’re going to hit you with more events, more challenges, and more ways to earn exclusive skins.


PARTICIPATE IN EVENTS TO EARN EXCLUSIVE SKINS

Unless otherwise specified, participation in events will be the only way to earn certain Special Edition skins. A few examples include ‘Rainbow Tabby’ Skaarf and ‘Origins’ Idris. Please note that these skins will not be available for Opal purchase in the near term.

Instead of purchasing, you’ll need to earn these fresh and shiny new skins by competing in reoccurring events. In many instances, you’ll be able to get them without spending a dime!

HAVE OPALS TO SPEND? NEW SE SKINS ARE COMING SOON

Need something to spend your Opals on? Look forward to spending your hard-earned currency on new upcoming Special Edition content; details will be revealed about these skins soon!

MISS OUT ON A SKIN YOU WANTED?

Don’t worry, the plan is to bring back certain Special Edition skins for future events. Make sure you’re checking the in-game Today in Vainglory and news sections, and official Vainglory social channels regularly for information about what’s next.


More events means that there are more opportunities to earn your favorite content. Earning these skins via event participation means you can save your Opals for other soon-to-be-announced Special Edition skins.
