Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Sylvanas

Combat Trait

1

Queen of the Forsaken

Sylvanas can raise slain enemies as Forsaken Servants. When an enemy Hero dies near Sylvanas, she will summon a Forsaken Servant at the enemy's location, with the same stats as the enemy (max 1). This Servant lasts until the fallen enemy is revived. This Servant can be given attack orders by targeting with D, otherwise will target closest enemy (prioritizing Heroes).

Primary Abilities

1

Withering Fire [Q]

Charge Cooldown: 2 seconds

Deal damage to the targeted enemy, dealing damage and applying a damage over time that stacks up to 5 times. Stores up to 5 charges. Will continue to target the chosen enemy until a new target is chosen. Non-structure enemies effected by Withering Fire are slowed for its duration.

2

Shadow Dagger [W]

Cooldown for active: 4 seconds

Throw a dagger at target enemy, dealing damage.

Passive: when Sylvanas is in melee range, she will attack with a dagger that deals extra damage and grants her movement speed for a brief time.

Passive: Non-Structure enemies damaged by Shadow Dagger will have Wound applied to them (max 3 per enemy). Sylvanas deals increased damage to enemies afflicted with a Wound. If an enemy is afflicted with 3 Wounds, Sylvanas gains extra movement and attack speed.

3

Haunting Wave [E]

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Send forth a wave of banshees dealing damage to all targets. Reactivate to teleport to the banshees' location. If this ability hits at least 2 enemy heroes, it can be recast immediately. Teleporting with Haunting Wave refills Withering Fire.

Heroic Abilities

Banshee Queen [R1]

Sylvanas unleashes her Banshee form. While in this form, Sylavanas gains movement speed, armor, is unaffected by roots and slows, and can pass through units but cannot use her other abilities.
