Diablo's Deckard Cain, The Last Horadrim, has devoted his life to protecting the world of Sanctuary from demonic threats. Now the kindly scholar is making his way to
Heroes of the Storm to study the secrets of the Nexus. Blizzard has announced that Deckard Cain will be the next hero in the MOBA
Heroes of the Storm, arriving sometime in April.
Having ancestral ties to the Horadrim, and having worked alongside brave heroes, Deckard is "formidable force for good." In
Heroes of the Storm, he will play the role of set-up healer, who keeps enemies at bay with his ancient artifacts. The video below gives a good breakdown of his abilities, all of which you can read more about below.
As an avid scholar, Deckard Cain has dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge. He has been an advisor, storyteller, and friend to Sanctuary's greatest heroes, guiding them through peril time and again. When Deckard speaks, it's wise to stay awhile and listen.
Deckard's two Heroic Abilities are Stay Awhile And Listen and Lorenado, while his Primary abilities are Healing Potion, Horadric Cube, and Scroll of Sealing.
