The Monk
The Monk is the first support character from Diablo. Mobile agile, heals enemies allies.
He can choose his own trait at the beginning of a match and change his playstyle. He can be an attack-focused brawler or hang back in a support role.
No abilities known yet. Will be updated.
Jumps around the battlefield and can heal allies.
Very unique in the sense that his Level 1 Talent choice is actually a Trait Choice!
Appears to have Seven Sided Strike as one of his skills.
Video of his confirmation
The Skeleton King "Leoric"
King Leoric presents an interesting mechanic. When a foe kills him, he becomes Unstoppable, turns into a wraith, floating around the battlefield. He doesn’t return to his team’s base, though he can’t attack as a wraith. He can use his crowd-control abilities when in wraith form. When he returns, he comes back on the battlefield, not at the base as other heroes do.
He has an ability called "Entomb" to trap heroes and an ability called "The March of the Black where he hits foes with a giant mace, healing himself while dishing out big damage.
Video of his abilities
Also this one
Trait - When he dies turns into a wraith - the wraith stays on the battlefield for the duration of his death. Doesn't do damage but can slow heroes. Any 'damage' done as a wraith reduces his death timer. When you revive as KL you spawn at the spot your wraith is. Never leaves the fight. (I wonder if you can dismount people while in wraith mode)
Heroic 1 - Entomb can create a physical wall to trap heroes (creates a 3 sided cube with the 'opening' facing KL, trapping the enemy hero). Not sure if this is a skill shot or targeted.
Heroic 2 - March of the black king - Moves forward slowly while swinging his mace doing massive splash damage, also gives life steal (similar to his move in the Diablo III boss fight. I am assuming he is unstoppable during the duration)
The Butcher
Video of his abilities
(Q) Hamstring – Deal damage and slow enemies in his area.
(W) Butcher’s Brand – The Butcher’s signature attack and one that anyone using this character must seek to master. The Butcher’s Brand ability damages an enemy and leaves them with a demonic mark. When the Butcher attacks any marked target, he will leave damage, as well as heal for 75 percent of the damage inflicted. That amount is doubled against Heroes for a whopping 150 percent heal rate, which means the Butcher can go toe-to-toe with just about anybody and win nearly all one-on-one situations.
(E) Ruthless Onslaught – Taking a page from his Diablo days, the Butcher will slowly charge towards any enemy Hero, causing stun damage when he catches his target.
(R1) Lamb to the Slaughter – The Butcher will raise a pole at a targeted area, which will then latch itself to the nearest enemy Hero. The enemy will then be tethered to that pole, making it impossible to escape. Even Zeratul and Muradin’s abilities cannot escape this Ultimate.
(R2) Furnace Blast – The Butcher will take three seconds to prepare a massive blast of fire. Any opposing team member caught over the newly-created furnace grate will get caught in a giant blast and suffer major damage.
Treasure Goblins
![]()
There is mention Greebo the treasure goblin will also come as a hero.
But till then the goblins become part of a mechanic: at the start of each match they appear inside your base, you have 30s to kill it as he leaves through a portal as soon as the gates open, and will net you extra gold on your account.
If only the players who actively engage it get gold this will possibly be a brilliant fix to early game AFKers, who now have an incentive to be active in the game as soon as it loads, or miss out on that free gold!
Note that they are probably part of a new kind of quest coming to Heroes of the Storm, a special Eternal Conflict Treasure Goblin quest. A new daily quest will be given to players—separate from their regular daily quests—to kill a Treasure Goblin. A Treasure Goblin has a chance to spawn in matches before the gates are opened. If you are the one to kill it, you can be rewarded with special portraits and gold for your account.
