Grand Preserver and War Councilor of Hierarch Artanis

This Hero Concept seeks to bring Rohana into the Nexus with her Personality and Lore fleshed out in her playstyle and Talent Tree.

Rohana is designed to be a global Support Hero who aims to keep her allies from dying by granting them pseudo durability by redirecting a small amount of damage they take to all other allies in the battlefield or Sacrifice herself to redirect all damage all allies take to herself. She also can join her allies in direct combat as a Zoning Mage, keeping enemies at bay by locking down certain points in the battlefield. Those who oppose her shall suffer heavy damage. As the game progresses, she gains stronger, gaining more access to a wider range of utility.

I also tried to make her talents feel similar to her storyline in Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void.

To portray her Fantasy of a Traditional and Stubborn Preserver, she has talents with TILTING effects. However, she is also one who is not afraid to try out creative ideas in dire need thus also possess creative talents that that she can utilize to assist her allies in battle as their War Councilor. And her most memorable fantasy, the Self-Sacrificing Preserver who will endure the greatest pain for the better of her people. With these fantasies in mind, I have given her several talents that allows her to fight as the Grand Preserver and the War Councilor we met in the Campaign.

However, like in the Campaign, there are things Rohana has no choice but to comply due to the severeness of the situation. In her talents, Rohana will also perform a decision whether it is inline with her will or not. To accept aid from those who were shunned by the Great Templars of the Past.

Even her painful life changing decision is portrayed in her talents, to let go of the Khala.
When the situation goes dire, and the hour of darkness befalls against her team as the enemy team's control over the Khala comes to its worst, she will have to make an ultimate decision that will change how she will play the game. A decision with no return.

Both choices provide Rohana with strong advantages. However, they also provide exploitable weaknesses therefore choosing carefully is advised.
