1. Uther's Overview

4. Uther's Synergies and Counters

Uther synergizes with Uther's high instantaneous healing and reliable means of providing Armor make him particularly potent with aggressive melee Heroes that can provide their own self-sustain but may otherwise need help against burst damage. Furthermore, Divine Shield enables some of the game's most dangerous combos by allowing certain Heroes to go "all out" without fear of retaliation. Uther is countered by Although not particularly vulnerable to any specific Hero himself, Uther tends to struggle against sustained damage, particularly over an area of effect, as his healing is powerful, but ultimately inefficient. His sub-par waveclear can also be problematic if your team composition does not make up for this weakness somewhere else.

6. Uther's Tips and Tricks

7.

Uther is a solid Healer that can find a place in most team compositions, but not on most Maps, due to his main weakness of having a limited Mana pool to work with. Besides healing, Uther provides a reliable Stun, Hammer of Justice, which is highly useful for initiating, following up, and peeling. Divine Storm, as a Heroic Ability choice, provides similar utility over a large area of effect and on a longer cooldown. As a consequence, we also see him played as Bruiser in the solo lane or even as Tank.

Uther is notable for his ability to protect a single-target from certain death; Holy Light provides some of the highest instant healing in the game, while the Armor provided by Devotion, the cleansing effect of Hand of Protection, and notably, the total invulnerability provided by Divine Shield all situationally neuter burst-reliant team compositions.
