In-game Guides[]

Interface02guide

The Guides window.

Guides (sometimes also called Hero Builds) are guides created by players, that can suggest items and highlight abilities to level. They can be created and shared by players either in-game or through the Hero Builds Editor.

"Hero Builds Editor" has been out of order, probably since 2014.

Changes[]

Patch
Description
  • Detailed talents now show up on the Guide panel - In the Loadout / Strategy and the In-Game viewer.
  • Hero Guide Viewer now has sorting options for Your Guides and All Guides.
  • Author Name and Last Updated Time has been added to the Guide Viewer.
  • Hero Guide Viewer now also displays visual entries for Abilities and Talents.
  • Tooltip has been added to the favorite star on the Guide Viewer.

  • Fixed a couple of UI issues on the Guide Builder tool.
  • New strings and options related to guides have been added.
  • Changes to the format of all Hero Guides.
  • Fixed visual overlay with Guides on Talent Tree.
  • Added Guide support for Talent Trees.
  • Fixed unpublished guides (that were in your cloud) not showing up in your Guide browser
