Warcraft 3’s Blademaster Hero Samuro Joins Heroes of the Storm

Heroes of the Storm is set to expand with the addition of a new champion. This time, Warcraft 3’s Blademaster, Samuro, is joining the fray.

Blizzard released a new trailer showcasing the character. It’s completely CGI, so don’t expect to learn too much about the character. Samuro is a melee assassin in service of the Burning Blade clan.

This Japanese-inspired fighter can become an unstoppable whirlwind of death through his Bladestorm ability and summon mirror images of himself to fight on his behalf and tank some of the damage. All of his other abilities are similar to his character in Warcraft 3, giving him the ability to enter stealth through Wind Walk and deal a critical attack every four basic attacks.

More details about Samuro can be found on the official website.
