The Nemesis Assassin Event is taking place from November 20 to December 07, 2014. It was created to coincide with the release of Oracle minimap icon Oracle, and the Manifold Paradox Arcana for Phantom Assassin minimap icon Phantom Assassin. Players must kill a designated enemy hero with Phantom Assassin, or prevent an enemy Phantom Assassin from killing their allied designated hero. Winners are rewarded with a trophy and have high chance to receive random untradable cosmetic items.

Gameplay[]

Each game starts out by designating the Nemesis, a hero that Phantom Assassin must kill.

  • The team with Phantom Assassin wins by Fulfilling the contract: Phantom Assassin kills the Nemesis before the Nemesis kills Phantom Assassin.
  • The team playing against Phantom Assassin wins by Denying the contract: The Nemesis kills Phantom Assassin before she kills the Nemesis.

Requirements[]

  • This event can only be played in unranked games.
    • Bot matches are not applicable.
  • Game must contain Phantom Assassin minimap icon Phantom Assassin.
  • Game must contain at least one Nemesis from the Nemesis List.
  • the game does not need Manifold Paradox.
    • Manifold Paradox does not need to be equipped to qualify.

Graveyard[]

The graveyard contains heroes that have been killed enough times by Phantom Assassin, and therefore will no longer be show up on the nemeses list. Heroes killed more frequently by Phantom Assassin are more likely to end up in the graveyard. If all heroes have been sent to the graveyard, another continuum begins, with more challenging contracts for Phantom Assassin.

Rewards[]
