HoN Artillery background story:-

He looked down at the gear that the Engineer had salvaged from the dig. It was amazing how much destructive power the Ancients could pack into something so small. He oiled the barrels of the gun, loaded the rockets in their launchers and strapped them down to his back. He lit his cigar and strode towards the battlefield. Let those demons have their electricians - they don't stand a chance against this new breed of soldiers raining death from above - Artillery!

HoN Artillery Guide:-

Introduction:  

Artillery is a ranged Agility hero.
This hero has an incredible farming ability when the game starts to pace up and can be a dominant carry.
He scales very well with his abilities and with good farm he can devastate teams.

This guide is written after 8-14 games of this hero pre-release, so there's not just speculation behind this.

Strategy :  

Artillery in the early game is a very hard hero to beat last-hit wise due to the spell "Bunker Down". This spell will help you last-hit like no other.

I don't agree with other guides saying you should max E before Q. It is perfectly fine to lasthit with just 1 lvl of E. Maxxing it will ensure you much safer farming, but at the same time reduce your Killing, Farming and Ganking potential without your ultimate. I like maxxing it out early and it's a great harassing tool.

When playing this hero you want to find items that boosts your overall stats, and your attack damage. This is to increase your survivability aswell as the increased damage to your machine-gun. This spell will be devastating later.

Throughout the game your farming potential will increase as you build your damage items, you will be an absolute farming machine. In teamfights you'd want to hit as many people as possible with your ulti and then you will reign bullets on your enemies, along with your teams help.
