Kel’Thuzad will be available for Heroes of the Storm tomorrow

Kel’Thuzad, the Lich King’s most faithful servant, is finally coming to Heroes of the Storm. Available since August 29 on HoTS’ PTR, Kel’Thuzad will be live across all servers tomorrow.

One of Heroes of the Storm’s most requested characters, Kel’Thuzad comes packing some impressive moves.

Basic Abilities:

  • Death and Decay (Q)
    • After 0.5 seconds, launch an orb that explodes upon hitting an enemy, dealing damage to enemies in the area. The explosion leaves behind a pool of decay that lasts 2 seconds, dealing damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies.
  • Frost Nova (W)
    • Create a nova that explodes after 1 second, dealing damage to enemies inside and Slowing them by 35% for 2.5 seconds. Enemies in the centre are Rooted for 1 second.
  • Chains of Kel’Thuzad (E)
    • Launch a chain, dealing damage to the first enemy Hero or Structure hit. For 4 seconds after hitting an enemy, Chains can be reactivated to launch to an additional enemy, pulling both enemies together and Stunning them for 0.5 seconds.

The video above is part of a five-part series focussed on Kel’Thuzad, while the video up top is his hero spotlight.

Below, you’ll find Kel’Thuzad’s animated short.

Heroes of the Storm is available on PC. Kel’Thuzad will join the roster tomorrow.
