by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
Blizzard hasn’t wasted any time in the week downtime from the technical alpha and has continued with the hero week highlights. This week brought us an extensive preview of the traitor king, Anub’arak!
Once a proud nerubian king, Anub’arak dared to stand against the Lich King’s invasion, but despite his bravery, he too fell to the unrelenting Scourge. Resurrected into undeath, the Traitor King now serves as a towering, weapon of destruction. But here in the Nexus, no one commands his power! The fearsome Anub’arak hails from the Warcraft universe, and in Heroes of the Storm, he takes on the role of an in-the-fray melee Warrior who excels at initiating fights and forcing engagements. This powerful nerubian is definitely an ally that you want by your side as you seek to conquer the Nexus!
Anub’arak will bring another warrior into the fray and some seriously strong abilities! Make sure to check out the full hero profile on the heroes site along with the full hero preview article chock full of lore, fan art, and more!
Q – IMPALE
Anub’arak can fire a line of spikes that fire upward from the ground to stab and briefly stun any enemies.
W – HARDEN CARAPACE
The Traitor King can reinforce his thick shell, allowing him to absorb an onslaught of attacks.
E – BURROW CHARGE
Like all Nerubians, the underground is the domain of Anub’arak. He can dive below the earth and quickly burrow toward an area, emerging quickly to slam and stun enemies as he surfaces.
R (Heroic Ability 1) – LOCUST SWARM
Ravenous locusts feast on the flesh of enemies and vampirically restore health to Anub’arak.
R (Heroic Ability 2) – WEB BLAST
Whether swift, strong, or cunning, no heroes can escape the incapacitating effect of Anub’arak’s sticky web of doom. It’s the perfect ability to tip the odds of battle or prevent an enemy from fleeing.
Take a look at the trailer for this upcoming hero!
