Malfurion, Archdruid Skills and Abilities - Heroes of the Storm

Malfurion Stormrage is a support hero taken from the Warcraft franchise. He is the greatest druid in Azeroth and student of the demi-god Cenarius. Communing with nature and Cenarius, Malfurion protects the wilds from both demonic influences and attacks from the horde through the Emerald Dream. He can heal his allies, regenerate their mana and immobilise enemies at distance.

The true nature of the druid

Malfurion Stormrage is the twin brother of Illidan. They grew up with Tyrande Whisperwind several millennia before the Great Divide. During his studies, Malfurion discovered the Legends referring to the demi-god Cenarius. Having always respected nature, he shared his discoveries with Illidan and Tyrande and all three decided to search for the mythical creature.

Cenarius didn't take long to appear before learning that the three elves were searching for him and became interested in them. Discovering some potential and inspecting the heart of Malfurion, he offered to teach him the arts of the druid. While Malfurion proved to be talented, Illidan was impatient and clumsy. Tyrande was already devoted to the sisters of Elune. Guided by his mentor, Malfurion became a powerful and respected druid, and protected the elves for millennia. He was among those who protected Azeroth from the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. After their victory against the demons, Malfurion helped the Night Elves to build a new home close to Mont Hyjal, to survey the growth of the World Tree.

Malfurion then spent centuries exploring the Emerald Dream, a representation of what the world would have been without the intervention of intelligent creatures, linked to the World Tree. He was awoken by Tyrande to help the Legion once again during the Third War, where he fought Xavius, a satyr who wanted to corrupt the Emerald Dream. When Deathwing destroyed the world during the Cataclysm, Malfurion left the elf capital of Darnassus and gathered his druid compatriots to save Azeroth once more.

Malfurion's Abilities: Take root

Malfurion is the ideal support character. With a lot of regeneration, he also has his share of controls to cause his enemies problems. Like with many other support heroes, it's his heroic abilities that define whether you opt for more of a defensive style focused on healing, or a more offensive style focused on damage. Whichever your preference, the character remains very versatile, making him a considerable asset for you team.
