Dehaka Spotlight - Heroes of the Storm

The newest StarCraft Warrior Hero to join the Heroes of the Storm roster brings a whole pack-load of novel gameplay mechanics with him. In place of a mount, Dehaka is able to travel to any patch of brush on the map with his Brushstalker ability. This gives him a constant global presence.
Dehaka’s trait Collect Essence, meanwhile, grants a stack of essence any time a Hero or minion dies hear him. The can then consume his saved-up essence to restores health over a few seconds. When used effectively, Dehaka’s essence gathering-and-consuming make him capable of near infinite sustain.
Dehaka’s signature ability, Drag, is a linear skillshot. When fired, Dehaka latches his tongue onto the first enemy hit, allowing the Primal Pack Leader to pull the target around briefly. A solid Drag shot can completely isolate an enemy Hero, pulling them out of position and into the waiting arms of your team.
Staying true to his zerg form, Dehaka’s Burrow ability plunges him into the ground for a short period of time. This allows him to dodge deadly enemy fire, take a breather, and regain some health with Collect Essence. Or he can pair it with his Dark Swarm ability for some easy damage by burrowing into the ground and becoming invulnerable for a few moments.
For Heroic Abilities, Dehaka’s first choice is Isolation, a skillshot ability that slows, silences, and greatly reduces the vision of the first enemy hit for a few seconds. Dehaka’s second choice, Adaptation, converts all damage taken over a few seconds back into health after a short delay. Dehaka’s playstyle is completely altered depending on which heroic you choose-you can either take the aggressive route with Isolation, or become practically unkillable with Adaptation. With either choice, Dehaka is certainly a primal force to be reckoned with.

I only came for Dehaka's sick dance moves.

[@KeppyKep]

+TheTwistedicame Zagara disapproves

[@atlantismusic2901]

wow ye those are sick moves!

[@TheTwistedicame]

KeppyKep She liked it. She's only plays hard to catch.

[@robomonkey4176]

Dance moves so sick he can dance in 2 games!

[@Shystichu]

Hmm, a tank that can heal himself, avoid body blocks, has a global presence, and silence annoying heroes - sign me up for dat Dehaka.

[@jacobschmidt2771]

That is the coolest design for a character I have ever seen.

[@staniggg]

+Jacob Schmidt true talk man

[@SH4D0WST4R]

And that voice ~_~

[@Dracobyte]

Jacob Schmidt voiced by Steve Blum.

[@SH4D0WST4R]

Interesting ^^

[@MahriKing14]

I wonder if Dehaka has tried out Pokemon GO yet, where you can collect, get essence, and evolve.

[@WRAAEEE]

One of his poke quote is "So many essences , gotta collect' em all" refering "gotta catch' em all" from Pokemon

[@thunderplunder1013]

Lol

[@BlindTheRogue]

2:55 "Dehakas major strength is his ability to gank enemy heroes..." (*kills an abathur*) I am SO convinced. lol

[@Lumamaster]

+Blind Rogue Correction: ability to ASSIST and initiate the ganking of enemy heroes....unless they're either weak or very squishy or both.

[@BlindTheRogue]

+Lumamaster I was quoting the guy in the video @ 2:55

[@Lumamaster]

+Blind Rogue ah, I see.

[@ZaydinTTV]

Really wish Blizzard would start making hero trailers again. Those were always my favorite part of a new heroes release.

[@DM-Raven]

+Zaydin Would be nice, but those things are expensive. It would be nice to get one every now and then, but one for every hero would be tough.

[@garretthunter2916]

Have I got good news for you my friend

[@bossnonlinonliyoyo]

Did they just make a parody of Hotline Bling at 2:50 ? You can't be serious, i'm done :')

I am wanting a zerus map =D with primal zerg mercenary camps, Would be soo coooooooooool

[@veryananduren8513]

+horace crownguard +1. This is a freaking good idea.

[@RikoZerame]

+horace crownguard The pack leaders could be the objectives...or Zurvan.

[@icetheking4310]

+horace crownguard Blizzard please read this!

[@coldnorthamvs5091]

+RikoZerame I Think like the pack leaders being like mercenarys or especial objetives, While zurvan would be like ULTIMATE Boss of the map, or he would stand in the middle and the team who feed him enough had him to fight for them for a while =D

[@coldnorthamvs5091]

+Veryan Anduren I Know! i am hoping to see it coming true!

[@HansBoopie]

Looks like a fun hero with a good skill cap! You used to call me on my zerg phone.

[@jaschajade]

+Buchu Late game when you need my swarm.

[@skykiller5081]

+Buchu Call me on my zerg phone (let's do the zerg lyrics XD)

[@PaladinGuy]

Dehaka is the Tyrion Lannister of the Primal Zerg. He's deformed and is the physically weakest, but is clever and knows how to make a situation work in his favor.

[@kirabradley9497]

+Tassadarky This is the ultimate geek analysis. I approve

[@Texxxl]

+Tassadarky Unfortunately he isnt nearly as interesting as Abathur lol >.>

[@PaladinGuy]

***** I'd love to see something like that! I was actually hoping that in Heart of the Swarm that Kerrigan's appearance would change depending on what talents you chose. But, being able to choose different strains of the zerg units was just as cool.

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

Just look at the Coop Dehaka. Sadly they didn't made it first in HotS.

[@BeyondTilted]

Does anyone miss the animation trailers for heroes?

[@Lejinad69]

I do

[@Iad83]

+Beast 3123 Yeah, I do. I was hoping to hear where the Necromancer had been during D3 since Blizz won't add him in :( I would love to beat up Malthael as the necro >:D

[@aerikl3556]

so far dehaka is an amazing hero. love his surprise ganks to finish of a player in those long fights. well balanced right out the gate.

[@jiado6893]

One of the coolest characters from Heart of the Swarm (looks like he might have put on some weight though). The Primal Zerg are one of the coolest science fiction concepts I'd ever seen in years.

[@MaxKemeny]

"His first ultimate is Isolation. As its name implies, this ability silences and slows an enemy." In what way does "isolation" imply slow and silence?

[@balintkristof8442]

+Max Kemeny yeah it should be like: as the name implies reduces vision radius, and makes allies invisible to you. Anyway they probably added the silence and slow because they thought reduced vision isn't good enought.

[@Morec0]

I-ah, Re-qwhyar, Ess-ence! I-ah, mUst. e-vol-ve.

[@Doge-bz3vj]

You use to call me on my Hivemind. Late game when you need my Drag.

[@urdnotwrex6969]

still wanna see Grommash Hellscream as sick dps :D

[@locktock9]

+Oliver Daubner he is most likely to be a warrior but yeah

[@illidanstormrage4058]

[@M3-Titan]

[@legendaryrayquaza98]

I'm probably getting a battlenet card for Easter so I'll get Dehaka and some WOTOG packs

[@jakubpelikan2393]

+KendricSwissh yep keep wasting your money on game what barely surviveing on the current market.

[@jakericks832]

I have been waiting for dehaka since heroes came out so when i heard he was going to be playable i had a nerdgasim

[@philiptran5187]

Well it turns out he's not that good, can be, but definitely doesn't have the best winrate

[@angelgrozd]

win rate is not important.it never is

[@angelgrozd]

I 100% agree with you.

[@jakericks832]

It's nice to know someone plays a game with the intention of having fun not beating everyone and spending six hours just so he can rub how good he or she is in the faces of people like us....people who just want to sit down and have a good time

[@angelgrozd]

I agree.Games are for fun.

02:45 LOOOOOL I JUST LOVE HEROES OF THE STORM

[@ChemicaaLz]

When are the Naga and Nathrezim (aka Dreadlords) going to get some love from HotS team?

[@kalyanarc4467]

+ChemicaaLz I've been asking myself the same... They only appear in Warcraft 3 dranchise, almost never in WoW or any of its lore...

[@OMGMANTHEHARPOONS]

+Samsung Galaxy lol what the naga and dreadlords are a huge part of WoW

[@legobil_]

+Samsung Galaxy there are no naga in WoW? Really? All of northern/western Kalimdor is full of them, Blackfathom Deeps is a dungeon with lots of Naga in. If looking for Nathrezim there is plenty in Outland. In eastern Azeroth they hide as they rely on deception and tactics. There are a few though, sylvan as had one as advisor, one boss in stratholme (I think) and one when questing in northrend and do on. But yeah would be cool to see one or both of those in HotS, except that it already has TONS of WC heroes :)

[@Karanthaneos]

+ChemicaaLz That'd be a good chance for Detheroc to do something for once

[@kalyanarc4467]

+Daniel Rydberg Somehow, i never stumbled upon a Dreadlord or Naga. I saw few Naga Echantress in some sort of quest, but that's all... I guess I didnt explore enough, spent alot of time on duels and battlegrounds :/

So I take it we're not getting hero cinematics anymore?

[@Eddytor]

+William DeGroot (Lichdemon) to me it's a sign HotS is not as big as they excpetced it to be. it's a shame, but the game is still great :)

[@darkzerk7]

+William DeGroot (Lichdemon) They probably ran out of budget or the budget got cut down because the game isn't as popular as they thought. So now they only make in-game spotlights.

[@Eddytor]

+Adûnâi yeah, you are being very optimistic, i dont think hots will ever get close to dota or lol popularity, i came out way too late, when almost everyone had already found his favorite moba, or was bored of mobas.

[@Eddytor]

***** well, i certainly hope not, that would mean lol players migrating to HoTS and who wants that ? :D Honestlty though, i think that HotS in not meant for everyone: it is one of the most casual MOBA, and, while i love the casual aspect of the game ( no items, simple builds, no last it or farming, or Kill steal ) I understand that most people enjoy a more strategic and complex MobA ^^

[@paperplanes101]

The technology isn't there yet, so they'll be coming soon (TM)

[@zodiac339]

From a LoL perspective, this is the product of an obscene champion orgy. Skarner + Tahm Kench + Garen/Rengar + Shyvana and I can't think of what else. You've got Skarner's ult as a basic ability. Tahm Kench's Abyssal Voyage combined with Rengar's passive or Garen's well known "Demacian Surprise" technique (Garen WILL be hiding in that bush). Tahm Kench's Thick Hide (but it can heal during the fight while still taking damage). Shyvana's flame aura power. This is a nasty character. Could be a lot of fun to play.

[@mediamix1277]

Dehaka is a very fun Warrior. Few things are as satisfying as Isolating the enemy team's Carry. :)

[@joshuapickering6000]

Ever since I saw and played dehaka in the campaign and co op of Starcraft he has always been my favourite

[@Wowluckylolz]

Having just watched the movie ¨Pacific Rim¨ (great movie btw) I noticed, that Dehaka looks a lot like the ¨Kaiju¨. That is without spoiling too much, the name of the race of the enemy in the movie.

He does!

[@juankmontoya820]

There's next to no skill with him, I played him for like 10 mins and he's very boring, plus no mount :/

[@robertmcgehee5049]

+LilWhiteChris how is the ability to be in any bush on the battlefield not 100 times better than a mount? E D and Z to a far away bush. you escaped the gank. The game just started and you are already in lane. All of his abilities have effect the others in a positive way. you are silly if you think he has no skill. i watched the most stupid youtuber ive ever seen, Hengest , continuously forget to use his D heal....when it can be cast while in stasis.

[@Chris-gt3rs]

+Robert McGehee Because unless you take the talent it has a 40 second cd, Plus all his basic abilitys have long CDs and he hits like a wet flannel. Iv literally just got off the Ptr playing him. Unless you like Poor mobility, Week Hits, and Auto attacking 90% of the time he's bad. I'm sorry but he is. Don't get your hopes up if you think he's Op that's all. Just Sayin...

[@andressblabla]

+LilWhiteChris how is it that there is next to no skill with him if both his Q and his first ultimate are skill shots?

[@Chris-gt3rs]

+Eu tenho lag Doesn't mean there's any skill to it, if he's melee then being 1ft in front of somone and pressing q isn't hard. The q ability itself isn't even that great. Obvsly this is my opinion in not starting a argument. Try him for yourself. He's just not for me. To slow paced and doesn't hit hard enough to 1v1.

[@bacami47]

Best hero spotlight yet, the way you explain how to play him is great

[@GigachadVTuberEnjoyer]

could we get death wing

[@ShouVertica]

+Freddy Holmes Turn 10 win game. Too OP.

[@helioimperium]

+Freddy Holmes i doubt there will be deathwing or Lords of burning legion because they are too powerful characters

[@entranadrag]

+Heretic I doubt it because we got Diablo from Diablo 3 so...

[@RhapsodyDusk]

+Heretic I believe Blizzard was thinking about putting them in the game, but they said they couldn't because they were too big.

[@helioimperium]

RhapsodyDusk ya agree deathwing especially is huge in size

[@Deman_Dema]

Drag don't have to use for drag. You can use it as a 1.75 skill shot stun and continues to attack that target and even use Dark Swarm to reposition yourself to body block that target when drag is over. Drag has 1.75 stun, in that duration you could just drag the target around, or deal massive damage + body block after.

[@matthewhubler3316]

It would feel so natural to move a little while burrowing, and his skill shots are short and hard to get used to. Dehaka does feel a little weak at first, but he has a ton of time to change and improve. Love this hero! Fear the might of the primal zerg!

[@stevewestbrook3926]

Dehaka used to call Zagara until she left him for Anub'arak

[@Iad83]

Glad to see more zerg! I like that he can regen, and wish Kerri had better regen. Does Dehaka keep his regenerated arm if you take the adaptation ult?

[@ECAPS.]

He gets it no matter what ulti you pick

[@rericksen]

loved the video until 2:45, then was just like "oh, they trying hella hard, ok..."

[@RetroWrathX13B]

“I am Dehaka” Whatever you say, Arkham Killer Croc

[@LogicalMan6]

Kind of dissapointed we didn't get more of that scene with him and Zagara

You guys need to get Deckard Cain in HoTS. His ulti could be an area stun called "Stay a while and listen" where he just reads lore to the stunned enemy team.

[@jinchang9292]

I am still waiting for this patch.

[@natureshamy]

I almost skipped buying Dehaka thinking it was not my style. I've never been so wrong in my life. This guys is the most fun I've had playing this game in a long time and I'm mostly playing other heroes for the dailies :)

[@cuddlytitan4623]

DEHAKA IS F*CKING AWESOME!!!!! I love the lore blizzard has created throughout their games!!! Also, Im having a problem using HOTS on my MacBook Air. It wont open. It just has the symbol of it appear with a yellow exclamation mark. I dont understand why.

[@RuneKingOleifr]

Very interesting ability design, oh man i cant wait to play him. When is he gonna be released?

[@hugocarlostestinovalero5001]

I think in 3 days , have fun¡

[@RuneKingOleifr]

+hugo carlos testino valero ok ill wait then

[@flyaar7]

Where are our Trolls?! Give us Vol'Jin, Zul'Jin or maybe Jo Jo Headshrinker :D Dehaka looks great though

[@RikoZerame]

+Flyaarr Da spirits be restless.

[@bindair_dundat]

I loved him in SC2. Good to see him finally growing those missing limbs back. If I played HotS, I'd definitely try him.

[@oscarjonss]

Dehaka is the tank that we needed.

[@edwardivantorres]

+Oscar Jönsson But not the tank that we deserve..

[@Amendelwyr]

This will be a sastifying addition to the Heros lineup, seeing as there isnt many hero options for jukers or dmg denial abilities. While still being a viable choice for postionable meatlugging. (Block and shield don't really count since you're still targetable, and the latter requiring actual dmg for proc.)

[@HeroRaze]

Maybe if he had two arms he could do a bit more damage.

[@another2896]

Correction if he had three arms

[@kagu2811]

He gets them at level 10 5:25

[@tomjewell2509]

That Zagara/Dehaka Drake reference...awesome.

[@noahrietveld7943]

still waitin for arena

[@atlantismusic2901]

I seriously can't wait to play him!!!!!

[@Temmmpla]

I'm calling it, next hero is either Fenix or Alarak.

[@OnyxANZ]

+The Sexual Tyrannosaurus actually it's Tracer

[@TheTwistedicame]

+Occupine Yay, I can believe tracer. Overwatch is suppose to be out soon, right?

[@GhostAgentNova]

+Occupine We have over a month coming between the launch of Overwatch and Dehaka. There will be at least one more hero released in that time.

[@OnyxANZ]

GhostAgentNova But there has been no word on when Tracer is actually getting released, so they might just hold off for a little bit

[@OnyxANZ]

TheTwistedicame Tracer was revealed in the Overwatch Origins Edition list of "bonuses"

[@TigeroRousteinire]

The rag doll effect for this game is hilarious. People are always flying everywhere lol!

[@frozenblade1954]

i think they made them even stronger,every time an illidan dies he flys so far away xD

[@TigeroRousteinire]

Frozen Blade Haha it's so funny right?!

[@frozenblade1954]

Tigero Rousteinire yeah,i love how everything flys around.gives this strong REKT feeling when you and your teamm8s dmg burst someone ^^

[@XplinXesM4RX310]

Lmao dat Hotline Bling dance

[@ignaciogonzalez562]

Wow Dehakas survivability is so "Unfathomable".
