iii. Heroes

Explore the heroes of Warcraft III: Reforged, including the Far Seer, Blademaster, and Tauren Chieftain, detailing their stats and abilities.

Far Seer

• Damage: 21-27 (hero; 600)
• Speed: Average
• Armor: 3 (hero)
• Move speed: Fast
• Strength: 15
• Agility: 18
• Intelligence: 19 (primary attribute)
• Base hit points: 475
• Base mana: 285

Abilities:

• Chain Lightning: Hurls a bolt of lightning dealing 85/125/180 damage and jumping 4/6/8 times to additional nearby targets. This is a very powerful offensive area of effect (AoE) ability, suggested to level first. It uses a significant amount of mana but deals substantial damage to groups of enemies, especially at its highest rank.
• Far Sight: Reveals a small/large/huge area of the (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) for 75/60/50 mana. While it has uses, other abilities are considered more valuable. Sentry totems can be used for sustained sight for 10 minutes. Far Sight can scout an enemy base before attacking, but at its final rank, invisible (NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you)) Spirit Wolves can achieve the same scouting purpose.
• Feral Spirit: Summons 2 (NPC) spirit wolves with 200/300/400 hit points that deal 11-12/16-17/21-22 damage. The second rank includes critical strike, and the third rank offers a better critical strike and invisibility. These wolves are useful for scouting in their invisible form and for defense, particularly for destroying incoming siege units or harassing workers by sneaking into bases.
• Earthquake: Causes 50 damage per second to buildings and slows units in the area by 75% for 25 seconds. This ability is highly effective against enemy structures, dealing up to 1250 damage over its duration, capable of destroying defensive structures, food provision buildings, and unit-producing structures. It is very useful for cluttered bases and defense grids.

Blademaster

• Damage: 25-47 (hero; melee)
• Speed: Fast
• Armor: 5 (hero)
• Move speed: Fast
• Strength: 18
• Agility: 23 (primary attribute)
• Intelligence: 16
• Base hit points: 550
• Base mana: 240

Abilities:

• Wind Walk: Becomes invisible for 20/35/50 seconds and increases move speed by 10/40/70%. Attacks from invisibility deal an additional 40/70/100 damage. This ability is excellent for scouting and harassment, and is considered the Blademaster's best ability early on. It serves both offensively and defensively, providing burst damage and a quick retreat into invisibility.
• Mirror Image: Creates 1/2/3 illusions of the Blademaster. This is another strong defensive ability, also useful for scouting. Multiple illusions allow the Blademaster to sustain damage output before retreating into invisibility.
• Critical Strike: Grants a 15% chance to deal 2/3/4 times normal damage. Coupled with Wind Walk, this ability offers outstanding potential burst damage. While the odds are low, frequent use of Wind Walk increases the chance of triggering Critical Strike. It is suggested as a secondary attribute, though Mirror Images are also a viable choice based on personal preference.
• Bladestorm: Creates a bladestorm dealing 110 damage per second to nearby enemy land units. This is a deadly burst ability when positioned near opponents, dealing a total of about 800 damage over its duration. It is most effective when used by entering an attack group from invisibility with Wind Walk, then activating Bladestorm.

Tauren Chieftain

• Damage: 27-37 (hero; melee)
• Speed: Average
• Armor: 2 (hero)
• Move speed: Average
• Strength: 25 (primary attribute)
• Agility: 10
• Intelligence: 14
• Base hit points: 725
• Base mana: 210

Abilities:

• Shockwave: Deals 75/130/200 damage in a line in front of the Chieftain. This is a strong AoE ability that travels a good distance and can deal high total damage when angled correctly to hit multiple units.
• War Stomp: Slams the ground, dealing 25/50/75 damage to nearby enemy units and stunning them for 3/4/5 seconds. This is an excellent crowd control ability, providing a significant window to attack enemies.
• Endurance Aura: Passively increases move speed by 10/20/30% and attack speed by 5/10/15%. This is a beneficial passive ability suggested as a secondary attribute. The choice between Shockwave and War Stomp as a primary ability depends on personal preference: Shockwave for raw damage, War Stomp for crowd control. Endurance Aura provides a useful boost to your army.
• Reincarnation: The Chieftain revives upon death.
