The next hero for Heroes of the Storm is on the way. The troll Zul’Jin is entering the Nexus sooner than expected.
In Heroes of the Storm, they apparently want to quickly usher in the new year with some innovations. Therefore, the next hero, the legendary troll Zul’jin, will already be released this week – presumably in the night from Wednesday to Thursday, that is, on 05.01.2017. This means Zul’jin would be in the game even before he was actually on the PTR. Obviously, Blizzard is very confident about the hero’s balance.
Zul’jin has an exciting gameplay mechanic, as he becomes stronger the fewer hit points he has. Let’s take another look at his abilities:
- His trait is the troll ability Berserker. Once activated, each auto attack deals 25% more damage, but consumes 2% of Zul’jin’s maximum hit points. Passively, his attack speed increases by 1% for every 1% of missing hit points.
- Devastating Throw hurls an axe in the target direction, hitting the first two enemies, dealing damage and marking them for 8 seconds. Zul’jin’s next 3 auto attacks against marked targets deal 50% more damage.
- Twin Axes throws 2 axes in a circular arc. Hit enemies take damage and are slowed by 15% per hit.
- With Regeneration, Zul’jin heals for 25% of his hit points over 4 seconds. The spell is channeled, and damage taken interrupts the spell.
- The first heroic ability is Taz’Dingo! The hero becomes immortal for 4 seconds, and his hit points cannot fall below 1.
- Guillotine is the second heroic ability. Zul’jin throws an axe into the target area and deals damage. The fewer hit points Zul’jin currently has, the more damage is dealt.
Recently, the Fire Lord Ragnaros was nerfed – he was probably too powerful.
