Valdur Coming in Alliance and MORE!

Valdur Coming in Alliance

Valdur coming in Alliance is the headline from Sam’s latest livestream, but it’s far from the only reveal. Alongside the new Elarite Summoner, the developers teased an entirely new Titan faction for next year and a mysterious new hero who should arrive before the end of 2026. In other words, the Dominion is about to get a lot more crowded.

Below, we break down what was actually shown, what it could mean for team building, and where our theories land. However, keep in mind that most details are still unconfirmed, so treat everything beyond the basics as speculation.

Valdur Coming in Alliance: The New Elarite Summoner

First up is Valdur, the next Elarite Summoner heading to Hero Wars Alliance. According to the livestream, though, he won’t be arriving alone. Instead, his reveal came packaged with news that points to a much bigger shift in how Titans work.

The Elarites already shook up Titan compositions by adding a kind of flexibility the classic lineups never had. As a result, Valdur’s arrival feels like the natural next step rather than a one-off release.

A New Titan Faction Is Expected Next Year

Valdur is only part of the story, because the bigger news is the Titan faction expected to enter the battlefield next year. Honestly, this is the reveal that excites us most.

For a long time, Titan battles have leaned heavily on raw power. Hero teams, on the other hand, reward synergy, smart composition and good decisions just as much as stats. So the big question is simple: could a new faction finally give Titans that same strategic depth?

The Elarites opened the door. Now, a full new faction could push Titan battles even further, with fresh interactions to plan around instead of simply stacking the strongest units.

A Mystery Hero Before the End of the Year

As if that wasn’t enough, Sam had one more surprise. A new hero is coming to the Dominion before the end of this year, and we caught a short glimpse of her during the stream.

Still, that glimpse is all we have so far. Her abilities, mechanics and faction have not been revealed yet.

Our First Guess: Chaos

Judging by her look alone, our first instinct says Chaos. Of course, we’re openly biased here — Chaos heroes are a favourite of ours, so another addition would be more than welcome.

Or Something Completely New?

Then again, what if she’s something else entirely? One possibility is that she marks the beginning of a brand-new faction. Alternatively, she could carry a unique ability to synergize across multiple factions.

That second idea would mirror the flexibility Elarites brought to Titan compositions. To be clear, she wouldn’t be an Elarite Titan herself. Rather, she’d be a hero bringing a similar philosophy to team building, which could open up some fascinating new possibilities.

What We Know So Far

To keep facts and theories apart, here’s a quick summary of everything from the livestream:

Reveal Status
Valdur, new Elarite Summoner Confirmed — coming to Alliance
New Titan faction Expected next year
New hero Coming before the end of 2026 — glimpsed on stream
New hero’s faction Unconfirmed (our bet: Chaos)
New hero’s abilities and mechanics Unconfirmed

Where Our Bet Lands

These are only personal theories, and nothing about her faction or abilities has been confirmed. Even so, if we had to place a bet today, we’re sticking with Chaos.

But what if that’s wrong? It’s entirely possible Sam just showed us the first glimpse of something much bigger. Taken together, a new Titan faction, a mystery hero and Valdur coming in Alliance could signal a whole new direction for team building.

The pieces are appearing. Nevertheless, the full picture remains hidden for now, and we’ll update you as soon as more details drop.
