Garden of Terror is a heroes battleground revolving around the Garden Terror. Players can collect seeds by killing Shamblers and Garden Terrors at night. When a team has accumulated 100 one player may gain control over a Garden Terror and use that to attack the opponent.

This battleground has three main lanes.

The players will find themselves fighting over seeds dropped by the Night Horrors.

Battle Ground Objectives[edit]

The main objective of the Garden of Horror revolves around collecting seeds in order to grow a Garden Terror and use it to destroy the opponents base.

Day Night Cycle[edit]

This map has a day-night cycle that plays a big role in the way the map is played. The game starts with daytime and at 1 minute night gets announced and a countdown timer starts (this is 30 seconds). At night four groups of Shamblers and two Garden Terrors spawn. It becomes daytime again when all of the night terrors are killed. The next night will always spawn 3 minutes and 20 seconds after the night ended, no matter if any garden terrors are being controlled.

Night Horrors[edit]

At night six groups of Night Horrors spawn. When attacked they drop seeds which can be collected in order to start growing your Garden Terror.

  • Two Garden Terrors spawn at the center. One on either side of the middle lane. These drop significantly more seeds than the Shamblers.
  • Two groups of three smaller horrors, called Shamblers, spawn on either side of Garden Terror.

Garden Terror[edit]

When a team has collected 100 seeds. A Garden Terror will start growing in their base, this takes about 15 seconds. When completed one player may take control of it and use it to attack. If no player takes control of it within 60 seconds the Garden Terror is lost. When a player takes control over a Garden Terror his own hero disappears and a 1:30 minute countdown timer appears. When the Garden Terror loses all its HP or when the timer runs out the Garden Terror disappears and the player in control reverts back to his hero.

While Garden Terror controlled by a player the Garden Terror has a set of three abilities. These make it very strong against the enemy structures.
