First look at the Nomad, Heroes of Newerth new Hero - HON

 

S2 Games breaks down the Nomad:

Role: The Nomad is an elusive melee semi-carry that puts an emphasis on the player’s decision-making and reflexes over raw, head-on damage output. His skills are designed to reward and complement players who prefer to outplay their opponents by way of deception and guile.

• Sandstorm: When Sandstorm is activated, the Nomad conjures a whirling cyclone of dust around him that envelops himself and nearby allies in a shroud of invisibility. In addition, they receive a significant movement speed bonus, while enemies within the sandstorm lose movement speed. This duality allows for Sandstorm to be a very useful tool for both chasing and escaping. An ally in need can be hidden from opponents and escorted to safety, or the skill may be used to initiate upon the opposing team. Because the enemy cannot see under the Sandstorm, they never know how many of you are approaching.
• Mirage Strike: Leveling up Mirage Strike grants two sub-abilities: True Strike and Mirage Strike. True Strike will cause the Nomad to charge recklessly at an opponent, dealing high physical damage and increasing his attack speed. Mirage Strike will cause the Nomad to become invisible and send an illusion to perform the charge in his stead. Proper use and a mixture of True Strike and Mirage Strike is what will keep your opponents on their toes. By never allowing them the luxury of knowing whether you’re really charging at them, you can take the opportunity to deal extra damage.
• Wanderer: The Nomad’s passive ability charges his sword with the sand around him as he moves. With each 100 distance traveled, his next attack gains a significant boost to attack damage. This ability allows him to deal very high damage when coupled with Mirage and True Strike. It also means that when he chases an opponent, he is constantly charging up Wanderer for his next attack.
• Edge Counter (Ultimate): Edge Counter is the Nomad’s greatest asset in a large-scale battle, as it can often be the difference between winning or losing an encounter. When activated, Edge Counter puts the Nomad in a one-second state of stasis. If he is attacked, damaged, or spell casted upon by an enemy hero during this state, the Nomad shrugs the attack off and counters his assailant with a massive wave of sand, dealing high magic damage and stunning anyone in its wake. His stunned opponents then become vulnerable to a volley of attacks from True Strike. 

PC Gamer’s take

The Nomad seems like the perfect fit for players that enjoy engaging in morale-crushing mind-games with their opponents. Mirage Strike alone can plant the seed of fear into the opponent, who’ll constantly feel harassed even when you’re merely sending illusions their way. The invisibility granted by Sandstorm only compounds the paranoia in the enemies’ minds; any sign of your desert winds will send them packing, fearful of just how many heroes could be poised to strike inside of them. This should also function as an amazing decoy ability; you can act as if you’re about to launch a gank on one side of the map, while your team takes out an undefended tower on the opposite side.
Edge Counter is the icing on the mind-game cake. This ability really resonates with me as a fighting game fan: it seems like the MOBA equivalent of Street Fighter III’s counterhits or parries. Split-second timing will be greatly rewarded, while popping it at the wrong moment will strip you of the ace up your sleeve. Just having it available and not on cooldown will make your enemies hesitant to attack you, lest they unleash your devastating AoE stun. That leaves you free to slash through the opposing heroes and protect your allies with Sandstorm as necessary.
The Nomad seems like the ultimate “Gotcha!” hero, enabling masterful players to run circles around those who aren’t prepared for his trickery. The Nomad is slated for release this Friday;

Defiler Hero Guide - HON Tutorial - Heroes of Newerth

If you played DotA and remember Death Prophet, you should have an idea how to play Defiler in HoN . Defiler is an easy hero to counter(with Shrunken Head) at late middle game, but in the other hand it is one of the best pushers and "tower killers"  in the game so that all your chances and push towers as son as you get your ulti. This Defiler tutorial should give you the basics of how to play this hero.

Defiler is a great yearly/mid game hero with an amazing AOE ultimate that gives you the abylity to take towers really fast at low levels but at end game she is only usefull if you take a good item build a because of his silence, a good item build is what i  call a semi-tank/disabler so it is important that you manage to a lot of towers since you will need the gold. Defiler can mid since she has a awesome harraz but most of the times you will have better options for mid on your team and Defiler  can take any lane easy.


Wave of Dead

Activation [Q]
Target Position - Enemy Units
Type: Magic
Range: 600
Mana Cost: 105/120/140/165
Cooldown 9 secondsDeals 100/175/250/300 Magic Damage to each target in a cone.

Notes: Early game, this skill is great for harassing/lasthitting, as it has low cooldown, and due to your good Intelligence gain, with a Bottle and Chalice, you will always have mana for this. Midgame, the 5 second cooldown makes this skill deal pretty good damage to enemies, also providing you good farm. Late game this skill loses its power, as it deals almost no damage to heroes(magic armor).
Note: The cast range of this spell is 600, but it flies as long as 1210 range

Grave Silence

Activation [W]
Target Position - Enemy Units
Type: Magic
Range: 900
Radius: 200/275/350/350
Mana Cost: 80/70/60/50Cooldown: 14 seconds< Applies Grave Silence to targets in radius for 3/4/5/6 seconds. Grave Silence Effects
Silenced

Notes:Early game, this isn't too useful, as you can't max this skill or you lack movement speed and damage, one point can however mean difference between life and death for yourself, or your enemy. Mid game, this skill becomes very useful, as your enemies can't do anything after you put this on and rush in. Lategame, the huge radius of this spell, and the 6 second silence, makes every hero without an item to dispel this, to be practically useless in teamfights.
Note: Low cooldown makes this spammable mid to late game.

Power in Death

Increases Movement Speed by 2.5/5/7.5/10%
Wave of Death:
Decreases cooldown by 1/2/3/4 second(s)
Reduces Mana cost by 5/10/15/20

Cooldown: 100 seconds
Spawns several spirits for 30 seconds that will attack nearby enemies, or will attack one target if you attack that target directly. Upon completion, the spirits will return to you and heal you for 25% of the damage they dealt.

 Notes:This skill is what makes Defiler a beast in pushing, and deal devastating DPS. Early game, its great for pushing the first tier towers, and killing anybody who dares to challenge you. Same goes for mid game, except second tier towers, and it begins to deal huge damage in teamfights. As for lategame, the spirits are great for pushing raxxes, and for teamfights.
Notes:
-They are very good for destroying gadgets (e.g. Arachna's Spiderling, Pollywog's Wards, Slither's Wards, Engineer's Ultimate, Engineer's Turret, Bombardier's Bomb (when grounded),...)
-If a enemy hero has Barbed Armor activated, and your ultimate hits him/her, you lose the reflected damage from your HP
