It was amazing how much destructive power the Ancients could pack into something so small. He oiled the barrels of the gun, loaded the rockets in their launchers and strapped them down to his back. He lit his cigar and strode towards the battlefield. Let those demons have their electricians - they don't stand a chance against this new breed of soldiers raining death from above - Artillery! | role = Through his LRM, Mortar Shot and Homing Missile, Artillery's capacity for extreme long range Physical Damage is unparalleled. Make sure to level Special Ammunition to greatly extend his other spells' ranges! }} ==Abilities== {{Hero Ability|Q |name = LRM |image = Artillery LRM.jpg |action = Target Position |target = Enemy Units |type = Physical |castactiontime = 0.25 |castbackswing = 0 |range = 1100 |radius = 100 |manacost = 10 |cooldown = 4/3.5/3/2.5 |channeltime = 4.5 |description = Artillery channels to release several rockets in a direction dealing damage to enemies they hit. |effects = Target a direction to channel, firing a barrage of rockets over the duration hitting the first enemy they touch.

AoE is centered on the target hit or the rocket if it didn't hit an enemy unit. * Missiles reach their maximum distance over 0.6 seconds. * When a missile hits an enemy unit, Artillery becomes Sighted for 1 second. ** If a missile hits a Neutral unit, they gain vision of Artillery for 1 second instead.

Below is the original teaser lore: : ''The engineer looked at his masterpiece. The turrets were mounted, the rockets loaded, the cannons oiled and tested on the range. It was time to test his mechanical beast against the demonic hoards of the Hellbourne. They would know no quarter when he found them within range and death reigned down from above. The explosions deafened both man and beast, and Artillery stood alone among the craters and carnage.'' {{Heronav}}
