Here is the list of the heroes you can choose from to take into the Nexus.

Heroes

In Heroes of the Storm, you'll be able to take control of a variety of powerful heroes from across Blizzard's universes. There heroes can be obtained in a variety of ways.

Free Rotation

Each week, you'll have the option to choose from five heroes that will be freely available in our weekly hero rotation. As you play, you will gain experience from your matches. Once you reach level 7, you'll unlock an additional hero rotation slot, bringing the total to 6 free heroes. The hero rotations are updated evert Tuesday.

Try Me

Whether or not a hero is currently in free rotation, you can take them out for a spin using the "Try Me" system. This system allows you to test out individual heroes on a closed custom map where you can try out abilities and talents at your leisure, outside of the normal mode. You'll be able to summon minions, bots and forts, as well as repick your abilities and clear cooldowns.

Purchase

If you want to have access to the heroes permanently, you will be able to purchase the hero with in-game currency called gold, which you earn for completing in-game objectives. You start earning gold once you reach level 5 and will be awarded more of this valuable currency as you level up. You can also earn currency for completing Daily Quests, which are unlocked at level 6.

You will also be able to purchase heroes for real money. Right now you can unlock Valla the Demon Hunter by pre-ordering Diablo lll: Reaper of Souls.

Hero Progression

Since teams share experience and levels and there are no items, the way to progress your Hero is via an extensive talent system in-game. Each character gets three base moves (the default keys for abilities are Q, W, E, and R) and as you level up you choose talents at levels one, four, and seven in order to build the type of character you want to play. At levels 10 and 20 you choose one of two Ultimate abilities, something to make your character extra potent.

Talents

Talents drastically change the way each Hero is played, kind of like specializations in World of Warcraft, and there's three to choose from at each of the major levels mentioned above. You aren't forced to go down a certain path once you pick a talent, you're just given three options per level, and two options for your Ultimate ability.

The talent builds allow for a lot of creativity and will keep characters from becoming stale. Even if you play a character enough times to become proficient, you can switch it up and try different talents and experience something completely new.
