After much mystery, the 50th Hero for Heroes of the Storm has finally been revealed and despite my original reservations, he looks amazing. As a melee Warrior, he's a varied Kit that's going to offer a huge amount of possibilities. Best of all, he actually looks incredible. It's pretty clear that Blizzard have gone out of their way to sex him up from his StarCraft days and boy have they worked their magic. For a full list of his skills as well as a handful of tips Blizzard have provided, take a look:
You cannot use Mounts. Instead, you may burrow to any bush or vent on the Battleground. 40 second cooldown
You collect 10 Essence per Hero Takedown, and 2 per enemy Minion killed nearby, storing up to a maximum of 50 Essence.
Activate to consume all stored Essence and regenerate Health over the next 5 seconds for each stack consumed. Can be cast during Drag and Burrow.
Lash out with your tongue, dealing light damage to the first enemy hit, and dragging them with you for 1.75 seconds.
Dark Swarm (W)Over the next three seconds, you gain the ability to move through units and deal damage in an area around yourself. Deals double damage to Heroes. Can be cast during Drag and Burrow.
Burrow (E)Burrow into the ground, entering Stasis and becoming Invulnerable for 2 seconds.
Launch biomass that deals damage, silences, and slows the first enemy Hero it hits by 30% for 3 seconds. For the next 6 seconds, the affected enemy loses sight of allied Heroes, and has greatly reduced vision.
Adaptation (R)After a 5 second delay, 60% of all damage taken during this time will be returned to you as Health.
