This page is about the hero Muerta. For the cosmetic set, see Gunslinger Set.
| Blasts fearsome trickshots and unleashes ethereal ruin. | |
|---|---|
| Muerta is a master of death who stalks the lands of life, corralling targets with fearsome Trickshots from an eternity of practice that defies the mortal mind. Her family are forever beyond the spirit veil, but her deal with Death allows her to briefly call on them — The Revenants — in times of want or need to smother her foes. Always ready to pick off unwary targets with her Spare Gunhand, Muerta offers all of her victims Mercy, and some, are fortunate enough to also earn Grace — one gun to deliver the soul, and the other, to claim the soul. Muerta is at her most menacing when she sheds her corporeal form, Crossing the Veil of the Dead to strike her enemies with the ethereal fury of the damned. | |

Bio
[edit]What fable of Muerta were YOU told? Whatever cruelties you've heard... the truth is far worse.▶️Muerta
Lore:
There are as many stories about Muerta as there are graves in the Carrion Fields of Gorm. Some tell their children ghost stories of a young peasant girl returned from the dead to punish the bandits who killed her family. Others, drunk in dark taverns, slur conspiracy theories about kidnappings and phantom guilds of killers.
One constant bleeds through every tale: of a woman so consumed by hate for those who killed her that she refused to die. And of Death, so impressed by whatever hate-filled engine that drove this woman that he gave her Mercy and Grace — twin ethereal pistols — and made her his second in command. Now she hunts down wayward souls whose last grains have tumbled from their hourglass, and drags them kicking and screaming to their eternal reward.

Trivia
[edit]- Muerta was revealed during The International 2022.[1]
- According to Revenant's Brooch lore:
The cursed brooch of a fallen guardian who stalks forever between the veil of life and death., the item's owner is likely to be Muerta.- She can be also seen wearing a brooch around her neck in her official trailer.
- An easter egg was added for the Hero release. Each player in game had to buy the item Forebearer's Fortune and use it, giving each player a Scrying Shovel, players then had to dig around the map, guided by Muerta's Voice/Ally Chat to the correct location. Digging at the correct location gave people an Beloved Memory, offering the Item at Muerta's Effigy, would give players the Item Mercy & Grace.
