Introduction Top
Illidan
is a very strong and weak character. Smartly used he could be the nightmare of an entire team. Bad used, he will definitively run you to the defeat.
I often died when I began to use Illidan, but for now, I kill plenty more than I die with this combination of talents! He became for me the master of 1vs1. Even zeratul
or the butcher
can't resist and escape you !
Illidan's way of life Top
Illidan is the weakest close combat warrior. He has very low life, so you need to be careful. Never engage when you're alone. Try always to move and never be stunned. When you're low in life, run! run!
Illidan is one of the faster engage disengage hero. With
you engage from a distance and with
you can disengage quickly.
With evasion
and first aid
you'll stay a while in fight. And if you're targetted by Nova's ultimate
or other tagetting ability, use your demonic ultimate
to evade !
My favorite combo is Dive
to engage from a distance, then hit one time with auto attack and bonus granted by
, then sweep
and auto attack with the 35% damage bonus granted by
. If your target try to escape, just dive again
and finish him!
lvl 1 to 6 Top
At the beginning and until you get
, you are extremely weak, do not take risks because your death will give xp to the enemy team.
Go on lane with another teammate and kill minions. Often use
, it grant's you a shield thanks to
and 2 precious seconds without taking hits.
With his trait
you'll get back some substantial life points and your abilities reload faster when you hit something thanks to high hit speed of Illidan.
Only engage enemy heroes when your comrades are in fight. Use dive
to engage and sweeping strike
to get back to your teammates.
Do not pursue them to the towers, you're pretty sure to die.
At level 4 take
talent, it grant you extra damage to your target.
lvl 7 to 15 Top
Once you get
you can stay longer out of range of the life pool, and you can get mercenary alone. Just engage using dive
, activate evasion
and begin to fight. Use Evasion as often as you can. And activate first aid
when you're at middle life. Siege mercenary is not a problem, other will be harder but can be done (expect boss, don't hope to do it alone).
At lvl 10 I take Metamorphosis
, it greatly increase Illidan's attack speed and so ability cooldowns. It's also helpful to escape when you're surrounded. I often use evade + metamorphosis + sweeping strike to get some distance between me and enemy heroes. It could save your life many times!
I don't choose the hunt
because if you run to any far hero, be sure you'll be dead just after.
At lvl 13, take giant killer
, it give you the little bit more damage that permit you to be sure to kill!!!
lvl 16 to 19 Top
Nice, now you're prepared to kill. Don't let them escape! With second sweep
you'll move faster! If any hero try to escape, just sweep
, dive
, attack and sweep again
. Your enemy will cry a lot and hate you!
You may also escape faster and be safe easily with that talent. In addition to metamorphosis who teleport you to a distance, it allow to escape far away and come back as fast.
lvl 20+ Top
Prepare to master the map. With
, you'll permanently attack 30% faster, and reduce your cooldowns by the same amount of time. Incredible. Your opponents will never catch you because you'll jump everywhere!!! bonus, you can use again your heroic ability even in demon form. So you can teleport and make area of damage to begin a fight or catch a coward.
According to me,
is far better than
and
because it has the same use than the both of them. Demonic form give you 30% attack speed, and so 30% more damage done, more than 20% damage, and teleport? Why to choose it... you're heroic ability do it as well and you could replay it many times because you'll fight a lot!
And the extra bonus is the 50% reduction of disabling effects! Don't be afraid to be stunned anymore!
DO not forget to use all your abilities,
and first aid
first, in that demonic form, their cooldown will be extremely reduced and you'll stay in fight for a while!
Have fun!
