You have to pick Holy Avenger at level 7 so everytime you use (E) Avenging Wrath at maximum charge, you can use it again after 1 second ! This gives Yrel the possibility to have infinite jumps if you pick Divine Favor at level 16. This one reduces the cooldown (CD) of (D) Divine Purpose by 2 seconds everytime you use a Basic Ability. (D) Divine Purpose is a 10 seconds CD. But there is a way to chain your Basic Abilities.

Here is the Ability Chain Cycle explained in details:

(E) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (W) - AA - (Q) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (E) - AA The idea here is to use as many Basic Abilities as possible after you casted (D) Divine Purpose so its CD is reduced in no time and you can re-use it many times in a row. It's a 10 seconds CD and you decrease its CD by 2 seconds everytime you cast a Basic Ability. As a pro player that you are, you know that to get full value out of your hero, you need to basic attack (AA) in between each of your Basic Abilities.

So if we dive into maths, this is how it works:



Let me now explain the real power of this build:

Above, I only talked about two talents, but let me explain what really happens when you actually make value of other talents !

Since on level 1 you picked Maraad's Insight you get 148 health back after each Basic Ability when you basic attack (AA).
By the way, this amount of health is increasing with every level, which seems to be + 3.896% by hero level.

To this I'll add the fact that every hero healing in this game is counted as spell healing, which means it increases depending on the spell power buff of your hero.
Luckily you can pick Velen's Chosen at level 13 that increases your spell power by 10% after you used a max channeled Basic Ability.

SO ! Let me retake that combo for you and add every spell power buff under it:

(E) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (W) - AA - (Q) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (E) - AA

0% - 10% - 10% = 10% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% = 30% - 30% - 30% - 30% If you re-run the chain, you have 30% spell power increase during the whole chain. Not to mention the fact that your Basic Abilities deal more damage with this spell buff. But the more important is what follows...

If we go deep into maths:

So regarding our chain, let's talk about the health you regenerate:

(E) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (W) - AA - (Q) - AA - (D) = (E) - AA - (E) - AA

0% - 10% - 10% = 10% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% - 20% = 30% - 30% - 30% - 30%

_____ - 305 - _____ = _____ - 333 - _____ - 333 - 400 - 333 - _____ = _____ - 361 - _____ - 361 So you heal yourself for 2026 just with AA and around 2426 health for the first chain you make. At level 16 Yrel has 5019 health, so in the first chain, you regenerate almost 50% or her HP ! This is INSANE !

And it's not over yet:

We didn't mention the level 4 talent Gift of the Naaru that heals for 750 an allied hero other than Yrel.
In this chain you use your trait two times, once with 10% spell power buff and the second with 20% spell power buff.
So at level 16 you heal an ally for 825 + 900 = 1725 during the first chain.

This is even more insane !


After many calculation and tries, this is the best build possible, you have incredible sustain incredible mobility due to the infinite jumps, really good healing for your teammates and a serious amount of damage and Slows due to your jumps and basic attacks (your jumps benefit or your spell buff aswell as damage).
Though it's hard to make this build get its full value due to extremely well-timed abilities. If your know how to block or simply move faster, has access to Stuns or Slows, you'll have some trouble having full value out of this build.
That's why I suggested another build less valuable but easier to excecute in QM for example.


Let's talk about the Heroic now:

It's a bit better to pick Sacred Ground since that gives you 40 Armor during the fight and at level 20 you can bring the 40 Armor litteraly everywhere you jump, and since you keep on jumping...
So you have 40 Armor during the whole fight.
Plus the cooldown is pretty low, only 40 seconds.
Don't hesitate de spam it, even if you just need some zoning tools.


Other Heroic and Talent choices:

In some cases Ardent Defender is better against heavy single target damage teams, that will give you time to drop more AAs.
In this case I would prefer pick Seraphim at level 20 to make sure you have time to reposition yourself and safely AA.
In some other cases, Aegis of Light at level 4 helps peeling for your team giving that free armor for 5 seconds which is longer than needed.
It helps against heavy dive comp for your squishy backline.
If you chose to go with this suggested build, you might get a solid 45k damage in a standard winning game.

You have to pick Divine Steed at level 7. This is your key talent. It appears that the extreme low cooldown (CD) of the mounting ability can be overused during the fight aswell, you need to forget what you know about mounting and see this as a huge mouvement speed boost every 4 seconds. Bear in mind you can be dismounted by a simple auto attack (AA) either by minions or ennemy Heroes. At level 1, it's actually very hard to give an AA after every use of your Basic Abilities, on paper it's the best build, by far, but against experienced opponents such as Diamond players or Master players, you won't be able to drop these AA without being heavily punished. That's why Light of Karabor on level 1 is the best talent, the increased range doesn't chance anything to be honest, test it in try mode you'll see, but the 20% increased healing by ennemy Hero hit is really powerfull. I'll dive into maths a bit after, now let's talk of other talents, level 4, Gift of the Naaru standard choice, Hand of Freedom can help against heavy Slows/Roots composition if your Support doesn't have any Cleanse or Nature's Cure. To me Sacred Ground is better than Ardent Defender, very low cooldown, 40 seconds is even shorter than Bunker Drop from Blaze which means you can really spam it. For the level 16 Divine Favor is by far the best talent, helps spam your trait to heal even more your teammates especially if paired with a Support that have trouble going for sustained healings ( Rehgar, Uther etc.) At level 20, you'll need to go for Seraphim, why ? Simply because ennemy team will not draft a team comp with no interrupts against an Yrel comp, so you can't pass on a Unstoppable ability with a short 10 seconds CD. Hallowed Ground is less valuable with this build and Word of Glory is a bad talent in general because the area around you is too short to heal your allies and if your allies are too close, why would ennemy team focus you ??? They wouldn't. I add as well that, to get full value out of this talent, everyone needs to be mid life, which is not the most common case especially against a single target focus comp. Bubble Hearth is interresting on paper, but in higher MMR Leagues, you can't back alone and let your team fight, if you live and they all die, game will be over anyway, especially late game after level 20. I intentionnally forgot to talk about the level 13 where the choice is a bit more tricky, I'm gonna explain just after what I do pick and why.

So I as said let's dive into maths to see the healing power of your level 1 talent:



But now I want to draw your attention on the fact we don't talk about the level 13 talent.

Let's explain what level 13 talent to pick and why:

There are basically two main choices at this tier, two talents being Aldor Peacekeeper and Velen's Chosen. Repentance is really good to lock down your targets and should only be picked if you are playing the Bruiser role and don't need additional tools for extra sustain. So why Velen's Chosen over Aldor Peacekeeper ? The reason is actually very simple, the fact is Aldor Peacekeeper reduces ennemy Heroes damage by 30% for 3 seconds, but it only gets value if you hit ennemy Assassins and Bruiser, otherwise, it's really useless, 3 seconds being roughly 2 auto attacks and 2 Basic Abilities. It only has value if every Assassin in the ennemy team are in the backline, because otherwise, the exact second you dive in their team, they'll move aside and burst your team. This talent is playable, but it requires you to use it mainly on Assassins and Bruiser, which is hard to do if they have great mobility or one is frontline/global/cloaked/ganking and the other is backline. That's why in most cases Velen's Chosen is better. It's very easy to stack up your spell power buff and to keep it to 30%. With this additional spell power and your level 1 talent Light of Karabor you heal yourself for crazy amounts of hp every cast. I'm going to show some interresting results just below after you do a bit of maths. Not to mention that Aldor Peacekeeper wants you to fully channel you (Q) Vindication. When diving in the ennemy team in the beginning of a fight, don't expect no being interrupted while channeling your first Basic Ability. That means use of your trait, so it's a CD already burnt. While with Velen's Chosen you can stack up with every Basic Ability so it's a bit easier to do especially if you did dive with (E) Avenging Wrath.

Let's once again show some maths update with your level 13 talent:


Bear in mind Velen's Chosen also boosts up the healing of your trait with Gift of the Naaru which you can spam thanks to Divine Favor to heal your allies and it boosts up your Basic Ability damage aswell.
