Like any butterfly looking to burst from its coccoon, Brightwing needs time to blossom. She's quick, she versatile, and she only gets stronger as the game goes on. The faerie dragon can juggle players, deal area of effect damage, can heal teammates out of nowhere, and can even tranform foes with a Polymorph skill. Brightwing is a nuisance, plain and simple. Now we get into the more popular characters among our more experienced HotS players. I enjoy using the light to pummel my foes and protect my friends.'īrightwing (Support from World of Warcraft) He's one of my favorite Blizzard characters and he's a tanking healing support, my favorite type of hero in MOBAs. Champion of the Light, and champion of your team's heart.' He excels at healing your terrible allies, keeping their targets stunned and thus making your teammates feel like they're good at the game.

'Uther is a man's man, as evidenced by the availability of his Lumberjack skin. He's no lone wolf, so don't turn him into one. Regardless, whether you're new or experienced, know that Uther fully plays into the team aesthetic of Heroes of the Storm. When it comes to games like this, those short intervals can make all the difference. If you're a newcomers to HotS and you're hanging around a more experience (and more skilled) teammate, they will love you forever if you can buff them with Divine Shield and give them even three seconds of invulnerability. This can be crucial in the late stages of the game, especially if he's bolstered by the Redemption talent that can resurrect Uther on the spot.Īs for his Ultimate Skill, Divine Shield can make a teammate invulnerable and boost their movement speed. If he does die, his Eternal Devotion skill can kick in, which will allow him to heal allies for 10 seconds after he's defeated. Be cautious when using this move, because the stun effect won't last and powerful characters like Stitches and Diablo can make Uther pay if he hangs around too long. And of course, there's the Hammer of Justice, which can be used to stun opponents. Holy Radiance can keep teammates alive, while also dealing damage, making it an invaluable skill. Holy Light can save teammates from the brink, but with a long cooldown, it's best used sparingly. He's a character you'll want to keep alive, because few characters in HotS have better heals than he does. Uther is another one that's been in Heroes of the Storm since the game's early days, but the Paladin wields some powerful magic and carries a massive hammer to deliver justice to his foes. 'Damage, tankiness, ability to get mercs if you spec that way.' 'Completely suck with melee heroes, and haven't really bought any, so I get along.

More experienced players can also stick to Raynor, as his passive skills can allow him to mow down minions quickly. His Hyperion Ultimate can quickly clear a path with its powerful strafing run and is a cool sight to behold for first-time players. If he's surrounded by teammates, Inspire can give his own minions and mercenaries a quick boost. As a ranged character, he can pick off minions from afar. Just because Raynor is a beginner character, however, doesn't mean he's any less powerful than his fellow Heroes. The character's third skill, Adrenaline Rush, will automatically kick in when Raynor's health is low. That's why Raynor is a fantastic character to start with, as players only need to concern themselves with two skills: Penetrating Round and Inspire. The MOBA genre can be overwhelming to newcomers that are just getting their feet wet for the first time.
