Hello and welcome to our first ever Arena of Valor news round-up! Following the same format as our Hearthstone series 'Touchstone' (which is currently sitting on its 123rd iteration!), we'll be here to update you on all things Arena of Valor every week for however long you're all willing to read our ramble. Since the US/Canada and Latin America servers went live just after Christmas, Arena of Valor has enjoyed rapid weekly updates in an effort to unite each server closer in terms of content. The idea is to have each server on equal footing in time for the Arena of Valor World Championship in a few month's time; so let's see what's been happening this week!
Barry 'The Flash' Allen Sprints Into Battle
For those who might not know much about Arena of Valor, the Tencent-owned mobile MOBA title has a bit of a DC deal going on. Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and even the clown prince of crime, The Joker, himself are already popular picks on the battlefields of Athenor. After months of relative silence, The Flash finally speeds into town ? picking today of all days to release. Unlike most of the other DC characters to join the game, there's no way to grab this guy for free. You'll either need to spend copious amounts of in-game Gold (23,999, to be exact), or open up your wallet to pick up 1599 Vouchers.
