Varian is a melee hero which excels in close-quarters combat. His melee attack can be hastened with the trait Heroic Strike. He can slow down retreating enemies with a short-range ability Lion's Fang. He can use Parry to cancel out basic attacks for a short amount of time and Charge enemies to slow them down and deal a little damage.

Varian's three Heroic traits are Taunt, Colossus Smash and Twin Blades of Fury. Taunt forces an enemy to attack him for a brief time, a Warrior ability that is helpful for taking the focus off his squishier allies. Colossus Smash deals heavy damage to enemies and makes them vulnerable by breaking their armor, a very useful ability in big team fights. Twin Blades of Fury is a passive ability that increases his attack speed, decreases the Heroic Strike cool-down and increases his movement speed when attacking.

Alongside the new hero, a new brawl called Blackheart's Revenge has arrived in Heroes.It introduces a new kind of gameplay in which one team is attacking and one team is defending. The attacking team has to make it through the docks and stop Blackheart from sailing away.
