Kerrigan

Queen of Blades

Ranged Assassin

Completely overhauled Kerrigan with energy blasts for basic attacks. Can be built to be more of a mage, turn into a bruiser, or focus on basic attacks, with several talent tiers having a choice good for each playstyle. Level 1 and 13 talents are meant to be more general and work for any build.

The intention behind her design is to fit the 'fantasy' of her character in SC2, something that I feel is sorely lacking in her current implementation in Heroes of the Storm. All of her abilities and talents either come directly from or are inspired by her abilities in Heart of the Swarm and the Co-op Missions. This design also keeps the 'combo' nature of her kit, only based around slowing enemies to land the stun rather than pulling them back, as well as the idea of her being a tankier Assassin than most.
