Arthas | Heroes to start with Heroes of the Storm Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Basic info	Pros	Cons
Difficulty: High Mobility: Low CC: High Damage: Medium Health: High	+ Massive slowdown and stun + Great for team combat + Can easily capture mercenary camps	- Movement speed - Hitting the target with Howling Blast might cause some trouble

Arthas is a typical warrior that fights on the front line. He's great with AoE damage (Frozen Tempest) who can also slow the enemies down and stun them (Howling Blast). Moreover, he can heal himself using Death Coil. Arthas uses an additional active skill - Frostmourne Hungers with which he can restore his mana. He's got two heroic abilities: Army of the Dead and Summon Sindragosa. Ghouls attack a selected target, then they can be sent back, restoring the hero's health. Summon Sindragosa deals AoE damage and slows the enemies down.

Example of character development:

Level 1 - Increases the range of E by 2 seconds

Level 4 - Active skill - Envenom. Arthas poisons an enemy for 6 seconds

Level 7 - D slows the enemy down by 40% for 1.5 seconds.

Level 10 - Summon Sindragosa

Level 13 - Enemies standing in the way of Howling Blast are affected by it.

Level 16 - Active skill - Stoneskin. It gives you 30% of your max health as shields for 5 seconds.

Level 20 - Sindragosa's range is twice as high. Enemies are rooted for 1.5 seconds, then slowed by 60% for 1.5 seconds.

These skills will make Arthas very good at his job - rooting and slowing the enemies. Stoneskin lets him take much more damage. Increased E range makes it easier to capture mercenary camps.

Advanced help:

Arthas is a slow hero, so you should try to stay close to your target. Remember to take a good aim with Howling Blast (in front of the enemy). Use Frostmourne Hungers to deal more damage: AA->D.
