Last week it was confirmed that Blizzard would be adding Gul’dan into Heroes of the Storm. Gul’dan for those unfamiliar is a character from the Warcraft universe and also acts as the main antagonist for the Warcraft movie. At the heart of the character is a warlock, and his skills in Heroes of the Storm will more or less reflect that.
In the latest video put out by Blizzard, they basically showcase the skills and abilities of Gul’dan that players can expect when they add him into the game. According to Blizzard’s description, “Gul’dan is a ranged Assassin who specializes in the use of fel magic to destroy all who block his path to power. His hunger for power is considered to be his greatest strength and weakness.”
Gul’dan’s trait ability is called Life Tap, which World of Warcraft gamers are familiar with. The character will not regenerate mana and his is instead expected to use up some of his life in order to restore mana. He will also have a Fel Flame ability that burns enemies as they pass through the fire.
There is also Drain Life which is pretty straightforward, Corruption which is a damage-over-time spell, and he also two Heroic abilities for players to choose from which includes Horrify, a skill that damages and fears enemy players around the area, and Rain of Destruction which summons down a rain of meteors in an area over a period of time. Gul’dan is currently playable in the Public Test Realm so you can check it out if you are interested.
