Don’t get too attached
Details from beta, especially brand-new beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual hero release.
It’s incredibly common that heroes are changed during beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of skills to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to stats to be made.

For a full list of items currently in beta testing, as well as their related threads, please see:
Hard to not like the hero, a lot of nice things rolled into one. Could see as a solid flank or tank … interested to see if / how she gets adjusted or if she does at all. Certainly a hero I’d like to have in my roster as is, but not one that I’d go “crazy” pulling for … would have liked to see something new here… like maybe a holy with dispel… (please)… but… is what it is.
Justice is my only yellow 5 star also but not maxed yet because I wish for a better one. Well look at that new hero here. Justice is outclassed completely
Is it possible that costumes are released by November? The differences in skills and power between new and old heroes start to be painful…
Neith is a Caucasian woman wearing some kind of mask, with gray hair, holding a saber in her right hand, in a fighter pose.
Grimble looks like a dwarf (gnome?) riding a camel goat… Don’t ask any questions lol.
Agree, as soon as I read the special abilities my very 1st thought was “There is no way they don’t slightly nerf her”
I’d sure like to pull her as is though. I’m guessing change from average to slow?
Not only does Neith obsolete Justice, but is also superior to Drake Fong, who is already one of the best heroes in the game (according to https://titanmafia.com/ he just got placed as #5 overall).
I hope they rein in the powercreep on this one.
I know Guin reduces mana by 20% but even 10% turns fully charged hero ready to fire into sad hero sitting in the corner and wondering what happened to their mana… With 35% chance to miss if eventually manages to charge mana.
