Long Reach

Long Reach is a passive ability available to all heroes.

In-Game Description

(Passive) The Hero has +1 range with all attacks and abilities.

Upgrade

Bonus Range increased from +1 to +1.6

Specifics

• +1 bonus range to melee or ranged attacks

Receive range bonus:

• Interfusion range (from the mystic to the scenery object)
• the range of interfusion effects (from the scenery object to the targeted enemy or tile)
• the length of line attacks, like Fireleash or Bonelance

These are NOT affected:

• the radius of AoE attacks like Splinterblast
• the radius of the Indignance aura

Uses

Almost every hero is glad to have more range on most things, though as a percentage increase it can be more noticeable on melee fighters.

Warrior

• Strong combo with Broadswipes
• Extremely valuable for a Vigilance build, making it much harder for foes to just walk around you.
• Gives extra range on Zealous Leap and Windwalk

Hunter

• Helps a lot for using daggers. It's especially valuable for getting value out of Thornfang+.

Mystic

• Extra range can often make the difference between being able to interfuse with the best target, or not.
• Adds affected tiles to line attacks like Bonespear and Fireleash.
