As it has been known for a few days, the next hero in the Nexus of Blizzard’s “Heroes of the Storm” will be none other than the Blood Elf Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider, who will show his enemies the superiority of the Sin’dorei. As a true Arcane junkie, he naturally brings two extremely prominent spells to the battlefield.
Fiery Abilities
Since Jaina Proudmoore has already secured all conceivable frost spells, the elf has to settle for fire spells (between us: they are much cooler anyway!). Like all other characters, he has access to two different heroic abilities upon reaching level 10, both of which may be familiar to WoW players from the “Fortress of Storms” and the “Terrace of the Mage”.
- His first ability is the “Phoenix,” which, when fired at an opponent, inflicts damage on its way to the target and then remains to continue damaging the selected enemy and all nearby foes. It is obvious that the Phoenix will unlock at level 20 and gain some “Rebirth” ability – otherwise he wouldn’t be a true firebird, right?
- The second ability is Pyroblast, and there’s not much to explain: It has a relatively high casting time (in Hots a “slight delay”) and then deals devastating damage to a target. Enemies in close proximity also lose some hit points.
In the coming days, hopefully more of his abilities will be introduced – from a story perspective, it would be the perfect opportunity to finally bring a mana drain spell into the game. To conclude, here is his new trailer – looks like a lot of fire!
