Heroes of Newerth

Most of us are currently participating in the Heroes of Newerth (HoN) Beta. This is a standalone game based on DotA. By being standalone it gives the developers the necessary freedom to make and change certain things that were otherwise restricted by the Warcraft III engine.

I took the liberty of gathering some info for the people that just transferred from DotA to HoN, as there are a lot of changes!

For starters: I made an Excel sheet listing all the (important) items, with their shop, shortcut and most importantly: their DotA equivalent.
The second tab in the xls contains the Hero information listing the HoN heroes and linking their DotA counterpart.
Here's a link to the .xls.

If you are keen on pictures, you can also use the picture made by Limi for items,
and the picture made by justeagle for heroes.

I also came across some other useful posts on the HoN forum. Check them out to read some very useful threads:

• Heroes of Newerth Basics - Guide for complete noobs, but with an excellent item list
• Another Noob Guide - Written with a nice sense of humour!
• Patch Notes
• Common Misconceptions - Useful to notice some differences between HoN and DotA.
• Hero Comparison thread - Compares HoN and DotA heroes.

That's it for now! I hope the listed info helps you all out, and see you on the battlefield!
