So no human form,” Adam Jackson, the Heroes of the Storm live game designer, added during the livestream. “He’s going to be a giant dragon the whole game. For instance, his allies cannot heal him, or even pull him out of trouble using Leap of Faith as Anduin. With this Trait, he is permanently Unstoppable, which means he plays by his own rules while being unaffected by allied abilities. As Azeroth’s Aspect of Death, Deathwing’s Trait goes by the same name in the Nexus. In WoW, he was so big that players had to climb on his back and fight his spine in HotS he’s been sized down a little to match the map.Heroes of the Storm revealed the details of Deathwing’s kit over on the official Twitch channel. He showed up in the Warcraft real-time strategy games but really came into focus during the expansion Cataclysm for World of Warcraft, where he served as the final boss. But the whispers of the Old Gods corrupted him, turning him into Deathwing. In Warcraft lore, Deathwing was the Aspect of Earth, a noble protector of Azeroth. Deathwing will fly over the map, dropping a “flying lava wave” that burns enemies. Which form players choose will determine Deathwing’s abilities, which include a lunge, an incinerating breath of flame, and a lava pool that slows enemies.ĭeathwing’s heroic ability, Cataclysm, evokes his attack on Azeroth from the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm cinematic. When he lands, players can choose one of two forms: Destroyer or World-breaker. Instead, he flies off the map - where he can heal himself and restore armor plates - and can land anywhere he has visibility. Deathwing also can’t ride Heroes of the Storm’s standard mounts. He cannot be healed by his teammates or cloned by Abathur, for example. And he’ll be “permanently unstoppable,” meaning opponents won’t be able to slow his roll.Īllies won’t be able to affect Deathwing either. But unlike Alexstrasza, Deathwing will play in his dragon form exclusively. He’s a big, tanky boy and will stand out from Heroes of the Storm’s existing heroes in some intriguing ways.ĭeathwing will be larger than the game’s other dragon, Alexstrasza in her dragon form, according to Adam Jackson, live game designer on Heroes of the Storm, and Kyle Dates, hero designer.
Deathwing, the big bad of World of Warcraft’s Cataclysm expansion, is coming to Blizzard’s crossover MOBA, Heroes of the Storm.
