The Archangel of Death enters the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm. We show you the skills of Malthael: His “Judgment of Death” and the other abilities are presented in the video.
About three weeks have passed since the release of D.Va in Heroes of the Storm, making it time for a new hero. After Blizzard teased last week that it would be a Diablo hero, there was soon certainty. Malthael, the Archangel of Death, enters the Nexus of Heroes of the Storm. His abilities and gameplay are presented in the “Spotlight” video.
Let’s take a look at his abilities:
- His passive trait is Mark of Death. Basic attacks apply the Mark of Death to all targets (except structures). They are revealed for 4 seconds and take damage equal to 2.5% of their maximum health every second.
- Soul Harvest steals the souls of all nearby enemies marked with the Mark of Death, dealing damage to them and healing Malthael for each target hit. Against heroes, the healing is additionally increased by 3% of the victim’s maximum health.
- Wraith Walk teleports Malthael to an enemy marked with the Mark of Death and causes minor damage.
- With the Death Fog, Malthael fires a projectile after 0.25 seconds that marks hit enemies with the Mark of Death.
- The first heroic ability of Malthael is Tormented Souls. For 4 seconds, Malthael gains 20 armor and continually marks all nearby enemies with the Mark of Death.
- Ashes to Ashes is the second heroic ability. An enemy is marked with a judgment of death that deals damage equal to 50% of the victim’s missing health after 2 seconds. If the enemy dies during or because of this ability, the cooldown of Ashes to Ashes is permanently reduced by 5 seconds (down to a minimum of 15 seconds).
Malthael will appear later this week – likely already tonight (06.06.2017).
