Introducing the new Outlanders in “Dota Underlords”, new Alliance, mode and game experience
The latest ponderable Underlords update is available now with the Outlanders, a new Alliance, a speedy game mode, and a new player experience. If you'd like to see the pretty version of these update notes, check out now:
New fast-paced game mode - Knockout Mode
A new fast-paced game mode added called Knockout. In Knockout, every player begins by choosing a starting crew of 5 heroes. It only takes two heroes to combine, and players level up automatically every other round. Each player has 4 strikes (losses) before they get knocked out and games last an average of 10 minutes. Players are matched up in a pseudo bracket and will only be fighting against other players with the same or similar health.
With four lives instead of health and an initial crew of heroes to start with, you'll be KO-ing your enemies in no time flat.

Introducing - Snapfire
Snapfire is a Dragon Inventor. She provides ranged support for the crew and will periodically fire a shotgun blast and slow enemy attack rate. If the Dragon Alliance is active, her lizard mount fires globs of fire at the enemy.
Ol' Scatterblast
Snapfire readies her shotgun, blasting enemies within her range and slowing their attack speed.
Mortimer Kisses
Dragon Ability: Mortimer spits globs at his enemies. Each glob deals damage to all enemies within radius of impact and lights them on fire.
Introducing - Spirit Alliance
Void Spirit didn’t head to White Spire on his own. He brought a few cousins with him: Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, and Earth Spirit. When three of the spirits are on the board together and charged, they fire off the Triangular Delta Slam. This damages all enemy heroes within and applies each spirit’s elemental effects.
Dissimilate
Void Spirit enters the aether, disappearing and creating 3 portals. After a few seconds he exits one of the portals to reduce armor and deal damage to nearby enemies.
Void Elemental
Passive: When Void Spirit executes a Delta Slam, he Breaks affected enemy units for several seconds.

[/b]New Player Experience
As we get closer to shipping Season 1, we want to make sure the onboarding flow is as smooth as possible for new Underlords. With this update we’ve added a new tutorial in which Ricky Ravenhook quickly teaches new players the basic concepts in Underlords.
This tutorial only gets triggered for players who have played less than three games of Underlords and only shows up once. If you’d like to run the tutorial manually, it can be found as a game mode under “Bot Match”.
