Garek

By:
Last Updated:

Once lieutenant-captain of Lordaeron's Capital City Guard, Garek was overcome with vengeance when Arthas betrayed his kingdom and damned them into undeath. In a quest to enact his revenge, Garek was slain and turned into the very thing he fought. Now a Forsaken, Garek put the lessons of his former life into practice to lead his new people to a new dawn.

Garek is a Melee Support Hero that brings his raw physical strength and party utility onto the battlefield. Though he plays like a Bruiser, Garek's strengths lie in his abilities to empower and enable his entire team as he acts as a captain marshalling his troops into battle.

Garek has access to this Heroic Ability, Grim Conviction, from the start of the game, though it starts with an extended cooldown. At level 10, Garek has the ability to summon a permanent companion in the form of Anya, a ranged damage dealer and healer, or Leonid, a melee damage dealer and tank. Either can be controlled directly, akin to the Lost Vikings, and they have their own abilities. Garek's companions count as Heroes when hit but give half the experience and when slain, they respawn with reduced death timers.
