Sylvanas is one of best hero in Heroes of the Storm. Her trait makes her push power overwhelming. I highly suggest her in maps with Bosses and Boss like map objectives(e.g.
Tomb of the Spider Queen,
Battlefield Of Eternity ,
Infernal Shrines,
Garden of Terror etc.) After getting boss, if you push with boss whole team together with Sylvanas, you can go to core so easily.
Besides of pushing power, she is also a good team fight companion. She can deal damage to all enemy team with
Shadow Dagger and
Wailing Arrow.
Keep in mind, Sylvanas is a fragile Hero. If you get stunned and focused, you can die in a second. I don't suggest solo push so hard. It's tempting but if you can't see 2 or 3 enemies on mini map, just fall back and run for your life.
Heroes of the Storm a team fight game and losing one hero on just before objective or at late game can cost you game. If you want to push. You call team mates and push together. Sylvanas player have to stop towers from distance and suddenly under tower fight turn into open area fight.
19.07.2016 Update: I changed
Mind Control ultimate to
Wailing Arrow, as far as I see people die while using mind control recklessly. If you are not feeling comfortable with 3 second stun to yourself, don't pick
Mind Control.
I mostly play for team and in my opinion, Heroes of the Storm is all about being team.
Sylvanas is the one of best push power hero. However, in early game she is so fragile. Be careful for pushing towers. If you can see all enemy heroes in mini map you can push towers. But if you don't, stay back and just get experience to improve your hero. Mostly save your
Haunting Wave for escape. Also
Haunting Wave is good to clear
Zagara's
Creep Tumor. You can uncloak enemy heroes with
Haunting Wave.
Sylvanas can kill mages in 1 vs 1 fight but you must be careful about not getting their ability damages. You can use your
Haunting Wave to get closer to them and you can kill them with your basic attacks.
In a fight versus a hero which can stun you, you should move rapidly and use your
Withering Fire and
Shadow Dagger. You can hold versus two heroes on a line with this way.
I rapidly use my
Withering Fire like spamming. It has 2 seconds cooldown and use no mana. So it's free damage to enemy from no where.
If you are playing on a map with boss, and your team gets boss. Ask your team mates to push with boss. Sylvanas has a high pushing with boss. You can even finish game in a map like
Battlefield Of Eternity in 10-13 minutes.
As a personal experience, I find
The Lost Vikings and Sylvanas combo so good. While The Lost Vikings soaking lines, you and your other 3 team mates can push enemy towers and forts so hard. Enemy team will be shocked when they see they lost their all front forts, even in 7-10 minutes.
I find @Arkenge comment on slow build is very helpful about game play and adding here:
"When you take
Paralysis,
Lost Soul and
Overwhelming Affliction, you are becoming a nightmare in team fight.
Your
Shadow Dagger becomes almost always available and when it spreads, all enemy hero get the 6% slow. This and your basic attack stack very fast and, if you manage well, you can very often slowdown the all opponent team by 30%."
This is the end, If I am helpful, I would be happy.
Have fun in the nexus.
