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.
