Analysis in progress
The data for Vale is up to date — it comes straight from the wiki. What's missing is the commentary: what the hero actually does, their builds and their counters. That can't be extracted; it has to be written.

Story
["]Valir, my beloved brother. You lost everything the day we made the pact. I will ensure that the Fire Kingdom restores everything to the way it once was. Although you still wish to avenge your cruel father, I do not blame you as long as you can chase away the storm in your heart. Nothing is as important as your happiness, not even my life.["] Vale fell into deep contemplation as he wrote his letter to Valir. These opening lines took Vale back to the days of his youth, when he and Valir were the closest of friends.
As Vale fell further into nostalgia, he remembered the day they met at a royal party. Since then, they both felt a strong affinity with each other's magic. For a long time, Vale and Valir were inseparable. Together, they left many memories in the Valley of the Winds, the Kingdom of Fire and many other exotic lands. When unrest engulfed the Fire Kingdom, Valir quickly took his leave. Only Vale knows exactly how much Valir sacrificed that day.
As time passed, the day of the Pact approached. Vale's magical abilities to control the winds had become more sophisticated over the years. In fact, he was the only member of his family who could change the winds through magic. However, Vale had never shown his magic to anyone before. Vale waited and waited for the day of the pact to come. That day, he would stage a spectacular display of wind magic for Valir. Vale thinks Valir will see his magic, remember the precious times they spent together, and look back at how things were in their youth.
Did you know?
- Despite being developed before several other heroes (name=Selena, name=Aldous, name=Claude, name=Belerick, name=Lunox, name=Thamuz, name=Leomord, name=Kimmy, name=Harith, name=Minsitthar, name=Hanzo, name=Kadita, and name=Badang), Vale was not released on the original servers until after all of them. Having been locked on the test servers for almost an entire year, he took longer to be released than any other hero. If you sort the heroes in the "Heroes" page by "Sale Time", Vale will appear between Claude and Leomord, instead of after Badang. The order of heroes is due to its earlier introduction in advanced servers.
