Hero Introduction
Although the Warlock is a powerful support hero, his offensive capabilities should not be underestimated. With a strong physical attack and his Shadow Word ability, the Warlock is tough to beat early game. Shadow Word can be used either offensively to deal damage over time, or defensively to heal an ally. Thanks to this versatility, the Warlock can often be found supporting allies against difficult enemies, using his Shadow Word to heal his lane partner or harass an enemy hero. Later in the game the Warlock's other spells come into play. Fatal Bonds links enemy units together, causing them all to take extra damage when one is attacked. This spell is especially effective at increasing the potency of allied area of effect spells. Although somewhat difficult to use well, Upheaval can be a powerful skill in certain situations. If given time to channel, Upheaval is a potent slow with a large area of effect. The Warlock's primary strength, however, is summoning a powerful Infernal with his devastating Rain of Chaos spell. When cast, this ability drops a meteor on the target area of effect, stunning and damaging in a very large area, as well as summoning the powerful demonic Infernal. This ability makes the Warlock great for initiating battles. After being stunned and attacked by a massive Infernal, his foes will likely have little will left to fight.
Background story
Former cultist of the Blacksun, Lannik was among the first of many orcs enslaved by the wretched demons when the Legion's taint befell the lands of Kalimdor - a dire affliction that grew stronger over the years. Mannoroth's sudden and unexpected demise severed this Warlock's ties to demonology, and the absence of its corrupting influenced caused his body to wither onto the verge of death. In exchange for life beyond the grave, he bound a pact with the Lich King.
