Tyrande

Tyrande Whisperwind, the High Priestess of Elune, is a ranged Healer Hero from the Warcraft universe. She strikes fear into all who wish ill of the Kaldorei. As the highest ranking Sentinel and High Priestess of Elune, she is not only the Night Elves' most deadly warrior, but also their most cunning leader.

Tyrande is a Healer who helps her allies lockdown and finish off enemies.

Background
A peerless hunter and Leader and Queen of the Night Elves by moonlight and the chosen of the goddess, has led the night elves in war for ages.

Tyrande was born thousands of years ago and grew up in the company of Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage. She answered the call of the Sisters of Elune, followers of the night elves' Goddess of the Moon, and became a novice priestess, while the Stormrage brothers followed different paths. Their destinies merged anew when the arrived on Azeroth.

Tyrande and Malfurion grew close and battled against the invading demons together, but Illidan pursued a darker path, feigning allegiance to the Burning Legion and succumbing to the temptations of power. After the defeat of the Legion and the Sundering, Tyrande and Malfurion helped rebuild elven society; Illidan was imprisoned beneath.

The couple could not remain together for long; soon after the night elves settled near Mount Hyjal, Malfurion and the other night elf druids were needed in the. While Malfurion slept in the Dream, Tyrande commanded her people, forming the Sentinels – the night elven army – to guard their lands and allies.

During the Third War, Tyrande sent her Sentinels to deter the advances of the Horde in Kalimdor, but ultimately ended up working with them to battle the armies of the Burning Legion, an effort that also forced her to awaken the druids, including Malfurion, from the Emerald Dream. Their time together was cut short when the elder Stormrage suffered from the corruption of the Dream, but Tyrande joined her lover to defeat the menace, and they both returned to Azeroth, where they protected their people (and the other races of the Alliance) from the destruction caused by Deathwing and the advances of Garrosh Hellscream in Kalimdor.

Gameplay
Tyrandes trait is Hunter's Mark, which allows her to briefly mark any enemy, amplifying the damage they receive. Her first ability is Light of Elune, which heals herself or an ally and has two charges that share a single cooldown. Each ability that hits an enemy hero or Basic Attack lowers the cooldown. Sentinel emits a spirit owl that has infinite range and scouts the area it flies through, damaging and revealing the first hero it hits. Her final basic ability, Lunar Flare, is an arrow that lands after a delay, stunning all enemies in a small area.

Her first Heroic ability is her signature move, Starfall, which bombards a wide area with numerous low-damage bolts of energy over several seconds that slow all enemies hit. Her second Heroic ability, Shadowstalk, globally grants her entire team stealth, and also heals them for a significant amount over time.
