HoS: Gaslowe, Boss of Ratchet Skills and Abilities - Heroes of the Storm


Gaslowe is a specialist hero taken from the Warcraft franchise. Few would consider the goblin tinkers as fighters, but they make up for their height with their array of mechanical machines. Gazlowe's exoskeleton is a very effective war machine, when it works properly. It also places traps and gadgets around the map to battle his enemies and secure strategic positions from the start of the combat. 


Money makes money

Most goblins live by the saying "time is money", but you could say that Gaslowe is an exception. When he was younger he stole money to set up his company. His business boomed and became one of the biggest trading ports in the world. It's Gazlowe who manages the trading operations in Kalimdor, the region where we can find Ratchet, the most famous of all the goblin ports.

After the events of the third war, Gazlowe was approached by Thrall to become chief engineer in the construction of Orgrimmar, the Orc capital. It's thanks to him and the champion Rexxar that the town has been built and provided with water. 

After the death of Cairne Bloodhoof, beloved leader of Thunder Bluff, his son Baine sent Jevan Stormsong to ask Gazlowe for his help in fighting the Grimtotem who were starting to take control of the city. Although the operation he planned required a huge amount of explosives, various weapons and zeppelins to transport the troops, all demands were met. Gazlowe's plan worked and he was rewarded with a huge sum of money by way of a thank you. Very unusually for a goblin, he returned most of it to show his respect for Cairne and his son. Although Gazlowe is keen to stay neutral and continue to make a profit, he retains strong relations with the horde. 


Gaslowe's abilities: Pew Pew Laser

Gaslowe is first and foremost a nuker and consequently has some high damage. While he is very good in close range, his abilities also provide him with some good zone control, making him an efficient character in teamfights. However he doesn't have an escape and will have to rely on his bomb or heroic transformation to escape if he needs.
