A Melee Warrior capable of out-dueling Heroes through high Health and strong Basic Attacks.
A favored lieutenant of the Burning Legion, the ruthless Pit Lord Mannoroth was a fearsome foe through many demonic invasions and, with Gul'dan's help, spread the Blood Curse to the Orcs. It wasn't until the Third War that he was defeated at the hands of Grommash Hellscream, ending that curse.
Tips:
-Doom Spike and Annihilian allow Mannoroth to keep enemy Heroes stuck in a fight as long as Mannoroth is attacking them. If the stacks fade or Mannoroth is slowed, you miss out on that chance.
-Demonic Charge is a good way to catch enemies out in the open or potentially flee to a further enemy if you are caught out. Just be careful how you use its long cooldown.
-Massive Blast is a good follow up to Demonic Charge to quickly finish enemies during the stun. The cast time can make it tricky to use in other situations though.
-Mannoroth's Gaze is best used defensively due to its long cooldown. Don't use it on an enemy you are focusing down or they will run away from you.
-Pit Fight sets up scenarios for Mannoroth to not only remove a high value target from a fight, but also to more easily punish enemy mistakes.
-Corrupted Blood gives a strong passive element to Mannoroth's kit. Just being in melee range makes Mannoroth threatening to most Heroes.
