Which Talents Should I Consider For an Assassin?
Heroes of the Storm doesn't feature an item shop, so to build up your Hero you select talents upon leveling up. There are three talents in particular that we'd recommend when playing an Assassin. You generally want to build your character based on the match you're playing, but each of these talents increase your damage, making you even more of a potential threat.Searing Attacks (Tier 3): Activate to increase Basic Attack damage by 50% for 5 seconds. Attacks cost 20 Mana per hit.
Giant Killer (Tier 5): Basic Attacks against enemy Heroes deal an additional 1.5% of the target's max Health in damage.
Executioner (Tier 6): Basic Attacks deal 40% more damage against slowed, rooted, or stunned targets.Now that you know all about Assassins, which character are you most excited to play? If you're not a fan of dealing out damage, make sure to check out our Support, Warrior, and Specialist guides.
