Template:Basic Kerrigan is a Melee Assassin Hero from the StarCraft universe. Until January 4, 2017, Kerrigan could be obtained for free via the Nexus Challenge.

Once a Terran ghost with psionic abilities, Sarah Kerrigan was betrayed by her allies and transformed by the ravenous zerg into the indomitable Queen of Blades. Now freed of The Dark God Amon’s corruption, Kerrigan faces a threat that could destroy the galaxy itself.

Background

Sarah Louise Kerrigan was a psychic terran female. She began her career as a Confederate ghost and later became the second-in-command of the Sons of Korhal. Following Arcturus Mengsk's betrayal, she was captured and infested by the Zerg Swarm, ultimately becoming the self-proclaimed Queen of Blades and leader of the Swarm.

At the Dominion Ghost Academy, ghosts in training are told the Confederacy allowed Kerrigan to "defect" to the zerg. Non-control zerg strains referred to her as "the Kerrigan."

Gameplay Summary

Kerrigan gains shields by attacking and dealing damage, and can use her wings to swoop up multiple enemies.

Strengths

• High burst damage
• Strong dive with Ravage can be used multiple times quickly if planned correctly
• Can gain sustainable shield from Assimilation that enables herself starting from level 10
• Strong against set-up that utilizes summons, as she takes advantage of extra health pool they provide

Weaknesses

• Although laning gains shield, Kerrigan demands too much mana for dealing burst damage to low-damage minions, and shields may be wasted
• Ravage has high skill ceiling
• Fragile and vulnerable to crowd control
• Lacks sustained damage which makes her shield useless in prolonged fights
• Heavily reliant on backup from allied heroes
• Escape is difficult if enemy is carefully positioned

Matchups

Pairings

File:Alarakplate.png

Hard-engage Assassins like Kerrigan work well with Alarak, as they both have strong initiation tools that can both move and crowd control enemy Heroes caught out of position. Also, if a Kerrigan combo goes awry, Alarak’s Telekinesis is great for shoving enemy Heroes away to help her retreat back to the safety of her team.

File:Varianplate.png

Varian and Kerrigan together have strong ganking potential, due to them both having point-click engage tools and decent damage. When combined with Taunt or Colossus Smash at level 10, the combination gets truly terrifying.

Effective against

File:Gul'danplate.png

Gul'dan struggles against heroes who have strong initiation abilities that can be used to dive past his frontline. Kerrigan can easily get to Gul’dan, which forces him to play a much more conservative game than he would like to. It also doesn’t help that using Drain Life makes him a sitting duck for her devastating combo.

Primal Queen Template:Shards

The primal zerg essences within Kerrigan cannot remain static for too long. With every kill, they incorporate their foe's strengths, becoming increasingly deadly...and spikey.

Mistress Template:Shards

Among all the demons of the Burning Legion, the succubi are the ones who are most delighted by inflicting anguish upon their foes. Mistress Kerrigan is far better at it than most.

Cheerleader Template:Shards

Unsurprisingly, cheerleading for the Burning Courts can be extraordinarily demanding. As team captain, Kerrigan has little patience for squad members who can't take the heat.

Development

Kerrigan was conceived within the first two years of the game's development.

Blizzard DotA

File:InfestedKerrigan DotA DevRend1.jpg

Kerrigan as she appeared in Blizzard DotA

In 2010, Kerrigan was present in the game as early as its "Blizzard DotA" conception. In this version, she was an individual from the Antiverse. In this reality, she was betrayed by Raynor at New Gettysburg. She willingly embraced infestation by the zerg so that she could battle against the Terran Dominion.

In terms of gameplay, Kerrigan was originally a DPS-type hero. She could use her abilities to kill large numbers of enemy units simultaneously and could surprise enemy heroes with huge bursts of damage. She benefited from intelligence items. She was compared to heroes like Krobelus, Darchow, or Lion from the original DotA.

Kerrigan's ghost form was under consideration to be a separate hero in the game. However, it has since been made an optional coloration for Nova.

Kerrigan could originally ride a zergling mount.
