Vainglory 3.8 comes just in time for the Halloween season! Put on your thinking caps and buckle up for a brand new meta, complete with Inara, the protector of the forest. The exact release time is currently unknown, but is slated for October 17th with no downtime.

• NEW HERO INARA — The jungle is yours for the taking! Inara leaps into Update 3.8 to befriend what lies in the depths of the jungle. Inara plays primarily as a crystal jungler, utilizing her unique interactions with treants. Familiarize yourself with her hero spotlight before kicking off a match.
• FIVE NEW SKINS — Update 3.8 has no shortcoming of skins. Liven up the new hero with ‘Nightblade’ Inara or have a party with ‘Rainbow’ Glaive. Feeling superstitious? Spook foes with ‘Black Cat’ Flicker, ding-dong ditch neighbors with ‘Trick or Treat’ Malene, or conquer the night with ‘Headless’ Idris.
• HALLOWEEN HATS & PING PACK — Adding on to the original set of headwear is the Buccaneer Hat, Pumpkin Hat, and Wicked Hat. The artists have also concocted a new Spooky Friends ping pack, with emotes including a tearful ghost and jolly pumpkin.
• ENTIRELY REVAMPED META — Forget those pesky tanks blocking your shots and Slumbering Husk safeguarding the enemy team for eternity! Update 3.8 features the biggest shakeup to the meta that we’ve ever seen. While the sheer number of changes can be daunting, we recommend that all players hang in there until seeing the full scope of the changes. Due to the complexity of the changes, we’ll be covering the details in separate articles as the update approaches and releases.
