{{Hero infobox | datapage = Data:Yrel | image = [[File:YrelArt.png|240px]] ''"Do your worst!"'' | franchise = Warcraft }} '''Yrel''', Light of Hope, is a melee [[Bruiser]] [[Hero]] from the ''[[Warcraft]]'' universe. After traveling to an Alternate Draenor, the forces of Azeroth saved the acolyte Yrel from the Iron Horde. With their aid, she rose to the rank of Exarch and fought back the demonic invasion of her world. Now, she finds herself where time, space, and dimensions converge: the Nexus. Yrel is a deliberate melee Bruiser whose heavyweight abilities reward investment and careful timing. ==Background== {{warcraft-section}} Born on the alternate {{wow|Draenor}}, the sanctuary of the exiled {{wow|draenei}}, {{wow|Yrel}} was dedicated to her faith. She grew up in the {{wow|Temple of Karabor}}, the center of the {{wow|Holy Light}} for her people, and served as an acolyte. Devoted to her beliefs and her studies, she showed promise as a healer. {{wow|Prophet Velen}} noticed her talent. He invited her to train as his pupil and began to teach her the value of leadership and sacrifice. But Yrel carried a dark secret within her. Velen sensed it, and he foresaw that for good or ill, she had a larger role to play. Yet when she considered her prospects, Yrel preferred to stay inside the temple, quietly caring for those around her. Unfortunately, that ideal did not survive.<ref>[http://wow.gamepedia.com/The_Characters_of_Warcraft/Yrel The Characters of Warcraft: Yrel]</ref> Her peaceful life was shattered when the savage orc clans forged themselves into a fighting force named the {{wow|Iron Horde}} and set out to conquer Draenor. Yrel was captured and flung into a war. Enslaved by the Iron Horde, she eventually gained combat experience while fighting the {{wow|Orc|orcish}} threat. After the demise of {{wow|Velen}} and numerous betrayals from within draenei society, Yrel took upon herself the burden of leading her people. She became a member of the {{wow|Council of Exarchs}}, and an important figure among both the draenei and the {{wow|Alliance}} forces on Draenor. ==Gameplay== Yrel is a sturdy [[Bruiser]] capable of withstanding pressure in the battlefield and peel for her allies with the power of the Light. She is unique as all her Basic Abilities can be charged up to 1.5 seconds, increasing their effectiveness. Her trait, ''Divine Purpose'', allows to instantly use her Basic Abilities at maximum power without requiring to charge. Overall, Yrel functions well in most team compositions, being able to be played as either a main [[Tank]] or a [[Bruiser]]. ===Strength=== *[[Tank]] *[[Crowd Control]] *[[Sustain]] ===Weaknesses=== * Heavy crowd control * High [[Mobility]] enemies. ==Abilities== :''See '''[[Data:Yrel|Data page]]''' for a table of scaled values at key levels.'' {{Skills}} ==Talents== {{talent table}} == Builds and guides == {{heroGuideList}} ==Skins== {{/Skins}} ==Portraits== {{/Portraits}} ==Sprays== {{/Sprays}} ==Emojis== {{/Emojis}} ==Quotes== {{main|Yrel/Quotes}} ==Trivia== * Yrel made her debut in {{wow|World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor}} (November 2014). * Screenshots of Yrel's abilities and talents were leaked on June 4, 2018.<ref>[https://reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/8og2xi New Hero Screenshot leaked by KR Community]. ''/r/HeroesOfTheStorm''. Retrieved on 2018-06-04.</ref> * Yrel is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald. * Yrel is the second paladin hero in the game, the first being [[Uther]]. ** She is also the first paladin to be a Bruiser hero. * Yrel is the first draenei to enter the Nexus, and the only draenei hero in the game. * Yrel is the thirty-eighth ''Warcraft'' hero in the game. * Yrel's hammer, the {{wow|Hammer of the Naaru}}, originally belonged to her mentor, the late {{wow|Maraad}}. * One of Yrel's gag quotes references the "I see dead people" meme from the movie ''The Sixth Sense'' (August 1999). * Yrelβs Level 20 Talent Bubble Hearth references a similar tactic often used by Paladin players in World of Warcraft. By activating their ability Divine Shield and hearthing, they could become invulnerable long enough to escape combat. ==Gallery== ===General=== <gallery> File:Yrel HotS Art.jpg| Yrel's artwork File:Yrel homescreen.png| Homescreen File:Yrel hero card.png| Spotlight information File:Echoes of Alterac background.png| Echoes of Alterac background File:Yrel Concept Art.jpg|Yrel Concept Art File:Yrel Concept Art 02.jpg|Yrel Concept Art File:Yrel Concept Art 03.jpg|Yrel Concept Art File:Mad Jester Yrel Concept Art.jpg|Mad Jester Skin Concept Art </gallery> ===Abilities=== <gallery> File:Yrel Divine Purpose.png | D: Divine Purpose File:Yrel Vindication.png | Q: Vindication File:Yrel Righteous Hammer.png | W: Righteous Hammer File:Yrel Avenging Wrath.png | E: Avenging Wrath File:Yrel Ardent Defender.png | R1: Ardent Defender File:Yrel Sacred Ground.png | R2: Sacred Ground File:Yrel Basic Attack.png | Basic Attack </gallery> ==Videos== {{#ev:youtube|DJ7j0MPoyrA|600|center}} {{#ev:youtube|JTF3u5lmIH4|500|center}} ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/yrel/ Yrel - Heroes of the Storm] * [[wowpedia:Yrel|Yrel - Wowpedia]] * [http://heroespatchnotes.com/hero/yrel.html Yrel Balance Changelog - Heroes Patch Notes] * [https://heroeshearth.com/hero/yrel/ Yrel - Heroes Hearth] {{Hero nav}} [[Category:Warcraft heroes]] [[Category:Bruisers]] [[Category:Draenei]] [[Category:Aliens]] [[es:Yrel]] [[Category:Females]]
