Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
All 3 of the new Human units are
really Blood Elves which makes sense since the Blood Elves’ alliance with the
Humans. The new hero is THE BLOOD MAGE. The Blood Mage’s regular attack
is a ranged mechanical ball. One of the Hero’s abilities is the Flame
Strike which is an area of affect spell. Though the attack can be
devastating if successful, it can be avoided pretty easily. There is a 5 second
interval between when the spell is triggered and when it starts. If the Blood
Mage moves or takes any damage during that time, the spell is stopped.
Banish, the Blood Mage’s 2nd
spell prevents a unit from taking any damage from physical attacks for 10-30
seconds(depending on the Blood Mage’s level). While this lasts, the unit
can’t attack anyone without spells. The Blood Mage can cast this on friendly
or enemy units but can’t cast it on himself.
Mark of Fire allows the Blood
Mage to turn any friendly unit into a Phoenix. The Phoenix has increased hit
points, can fly, carry out fire attacks and splash damage. The spell lasts for 3
minutes and at the end of that duration the Phoenix dies.
The Blood Mage’s 4th
spell was supposed to be Mana Flare but that was transferred to the Night
Elves’ Faerie Dragon. It’s still uncertain as to what the 4th
ability will be but it will most likely be some sort of mana shield.
THE SPELLBREAKER is one of the
new regular human units. It’s immune to magic and Steal Spell is the
unit’s only ability. Steal Spell takes good spells from enemy units and
transfers them to your own units. The spell can also take negative effects off
of friendly units and transfer them to enemies. The spell is auto-cast so you
don’t need to worry about it during battle as long as you have a spellbreaker
there. If you manually trigger the spell, you can choose who you steal the spell
from, but you won’t get to choose who receives the effects.
THE DRAGON HAWK is the other
new unit. The Dragon Hawk can attack air units and ground units. It’s Cloud
spell is used to temporarily block the visibility of enemy defense towers so
that units can get past them or take them down without getting attacked. The
Cloud spell will be in effect as long as the caster stays in the same position
without moving. The Dragon Hawk will also have another ability but it’s still
undecided what that ability will be.
The new human shop will be the Arcane
Vault. One of the items that can be bought there is the Mechanical Critter.
The Mechanical Critter appears to be a regular critter to enemies but actually
you can control it. However, you’re not going to be able to take it anywhere
since creeps will attack it on-sight. They can also buy the Ivory Tower, which
is a defense tower that can be built anywhere without a peasant. Another item
the humans can buy is the Orb of Fire which adds 6 damage and a ranged attack to
any hero.
