Take a look of my concept of him, if your interested!!

I’ll say, the kit is really interesting and it also made him very mobile :sweat_smile:, kinda reminds me of that Pirate Girl in LoL :sweat_smile:

I guess I’m looking for the “Classic Daelin” approach in terms of interpretation, like his unique Monsoon spell (i expect it to be here somewhere), I’m also looking for that similarities with “Dota 2s Kunkha character” i mean he was based on Daelin himself!!

Also i was looking for that “his sword clads in water” primary ability to empower his basic attack or he summons a naval ghost ships!!
But all and all its still awesome!!!

Thanks for the feedback :grin:

The Daelin in WC3 was kinda mix of other heroes/units so I decided to give him new abilities. As for the Monsoon it was there, but overtime it evolved to what his trait is now. I think it fits better his role (Big channeled AoE is fine on someone like Gul’dan).
I also based his basic abilities loosely on the Highwayman class (aggresive damage dealer that moves around and evades enemy attacks) in Darkest Dungeon (turn based rpg). So parts of his kit come from there.

I checked out your concept. I think it is interesting different take on Daelin and could fill specific role in a team (Something like Maiev if I understand his kit correctly). My only suggestion would be to classify him as a melee assasin because he lacks the sustain bruisers are known for.

Ahhh ok!!!

To be frank, I still have no idea some of the differences of other roles besides the obvious, i made him Bruiser since, i dont really know, i guess it’s because we have enough assassins :sweat_smile:, and not all bruisers has self sustain sooo :sweat_smile:…

Wiki has info about both current and upcoming roles. Anyway Bruiser is a high damage high survivability hero but they usually lack reliable peel or something else that would make them a tank.
