Kel'thuzad

Talents & Playstyle

The playstyle of Kel'thuzad offensively is rather simple. You use Dark Ritual to speed up your ghoul, order it to target a hero, then cast frost armor on it. Use Frost Nova to immobilize or slow that hero, then the frost armor will slow the target, keeping them in range.

Given the high number of slows he has, it can be rather easy to land the chain ability, and Death and Decay helps him land his other skill shots, and can increase the spell damage of frost nova and rise of the damned if timed appropriately.
