We knew that it would be really cool to do one of our classic characters, and we’re finally getting to them.” They may not be the last of Blizzard’s more obscure, older games to appear in Heroes of the Storm.

Olaf, meanwhile, waddles slowly, and closes the gap aggressively, initiating with a charge and following up with gut-based melee strikes. Baelog is slightly slower, and deals damage from a mid-range by chucking swords at his foes. He deals minimal damage at a range, and is great for harassment. Erik, the petite, ginger Viking, runs faster than the others, so he’s typically in battle sooner than his brethren. They mostly share skills, and they don’t have a ton of activatable skills. The three operate differently, as it turns out, and in charming ways as well as challenging ones.
