The Vault is the final map in Heroes' Ascent before the Hall of Heroes. Instead of a regular match, The Vault is used as a waiting room while the winner of the currently active Hall of Heroes match is decided. Due to the nature of the Hall of Heroes, only one match can be played there at a time. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to place a few teams that have successfully fought their way through the tournament in The Vault when more than three teams have qualified for the Hall of Heroes than that map is meant for.
Each team scheduled to proceed to the Hall of Heroes gets their own private instance of The Vault.
Map layout[edit]
The Vault's layout is similar to the staging areas for red and yellow teams in The Hall of Heroes, with a resurrection shrine in the center and a bridge in front leading towards golden statues of winged women and a gate leading towards the Hall of Heroes (seen just off the map). The sides of the area is a series of bridges, stairs, and platforms with little visual distinction. Bridges are decorated with gold versions of the statues seen in the Tomb of the Primeval Kings, and the lowest flood of the Vault is covered in a thick, golden liquid.
Dialogue[edit]
