Thank you so much for checking out my second Hero concept! I'm very excited about all of Thalyssra's spells and mechanics, and I think she turned out great.

If you'd like to give me any suggestions, comments, or endless adoring praise, then definitely leave a comment below and an upvote above!


Update 5/31/18: Renamed Level 3 Talents "Archery Lessons" to "Syrenne's Lessons", "Shal'dorei Students" to "Valtrois' Instruction", and "Unwavering Vanguard" to "Silgryn's Students".
Update 7/7/18: Level 1 Talent "Lead the Revolution" now only affects allied Minions.


Update 8/28/21


This will most likely be my last update, as I am finalizing all Hero Concepts and moving on to other games. Thalyssra has been reworked into a Support with strong siege damage, which feels very fitting to the character; I think she came out quite well!

I hope you enjoyed my Heroes of the Storm characters, and feel free to leave an upvote above. I'll see you in the next game.

Other Builds:

Prophet Velen, Voice of the Naaru
Vol'jin, Chieftain of the Darkspear
Orion Kimble, Hearthstone Legend

Gonna agree, that arcandor ult is brilliant. Very thematic and pretty unique, 10/10

Second ult not so much since its similiar to march of the murlocs and it seems to be actively summoning a lot of units which i dont think makes sense (even though it kinda does from wow) and would probally just be super cancerous on the screen. I think you can take a more creative liberty there since the rest is already thematic to what you would expect.

Lastly I think the trait could be refined. Her trait doesnt really add much benefit honestly since she isnt a solo laner clearly or tapping would be valuable. I thinking giving mana to allies is still a good avenue to go but I'd change it a bit to be more practical both late game and early game.

The rest of the kit I love, 9/10 got my upvote.

Thank you so much! I agree that Unleash the Withered is a bit clunky, but it’s meant to be similar to Arthas’ Army of the Dead or Azmodan’s Demonic Invasion, creating a large group of summons to fill a teamfight with or soak tower shots. I’m considering making a change to it, and maybe tweak her trait as well, so we’ll see what shakes out. Thank you for the feedback!

Arcan'dor is one of the best ideas for an ultimate ability on a Specialist i've ever seen, such a great idea considering flavor too. Seriously well done.

I really like how it turned out too. I originally had it as a stand-alone object like Tychus or Zagara, but the thematic part of tying it in with her Healing Fountain focus made a lot of sense. Plus it can be used defensively to fight back against a fort being taken, or offensively as a place to fall back to during a push.
