Battlenet name is Malbek#1689 - I am a Rank 1 (currently 3500 mmr) player that mains the support role, withat the top of my favorites. I played Heroes of the Storm for a few months during the technical alpha, and then picked the game back up a few months after official release. I started placement matches as soon as I hit lvl 30, was placed at rank 9, and then ranked up to 1 within just a few days playing (and carrying with) mainly. Before HotS I played League of Legends for a few years, and DotA for a couple years before that.Also check out my In-Depth Support Tyrande Guide here:

Hard to play well is a tier 1 support that focuses on damage mitigation (shields) and vision control. Like many heroes, he has a primary talent path that I recommend, but also has a couple alternatives you may choose in particular situations. He is typically best paired with another healer on the team such asor, but I have won plenty of Rank 1 games as solo support T*** with my primary build.





Basic Abilities



Plasma Shield is arguably what makes Tassadar

Psionic Storm is an AoE damage ability that does damage in a small area over 3 seconds. There are some good talents to support it if you choose to build DPS, but by itself it really doesn't do much damage. The best uses for this ability are to clear waves (Takes 2), and to interrupt enemy champions from channeling objectives (Tributes, Dragon Knight, Altars, etc).

Dimensional Shift is one of the best escape / get out of jail free cards in the game. Tassadar Nazeebo Zombie Wall Kael'thas Pyroblast Nova



Heroic Abilities



Archon is Tassadar's first Heroic ability. It gives you a large shield, and makes your auto attacks do more damage & splash. If you are going for DPS, or are not very good at Force Wall Plasma Shield



Force Wall is possibly my favorite ability in the game. If you have played Starcraft, it is very similar to the sentry's force field ability. It has a very short (12 second) cooldown, and has a lot of potential to make plays with. You can use it to trap enemies that are running away, to disengage and prevent the enemies from chasing, and just to create space in a team fight between enemies and allies. With such a short cooldown, it is okay to spam, and it very often gets my team kills that we wouldn't normally be able to get, and saves allies by putting a Force Wall



Combat Trait



Oracle is Tassadar's combat trait (D) and very good for revealing stealth, bushes, objectives, and extra vision in general. Nova Zagara Zagara Creep Tumor Abathur Toxic Nest
