Lei Shen

The Thunder King

The first emperor of the mogu and the most powerful warlord in mogu history. After stealing the power of storms from the titan keeper Ra, Lei Shen united the mogu clans into the first great mogu empire. Able to defeat even an August Celestial in combat, none were able to stop his goals of unifying Pandaria. During his rule, Lei Shen made several significant changes and contributions to Pandaria. The construction of the Serpent's Spine, the great barrier separating the dreaded mantid from the rest of the Empire, is often cited as his greatest achievement.

Lei Shen is a highly adaptable bruiser with a strong mix of ranged and melee damage. He is a unique hero in that at level 1 he selects between 4 different 'lightning conduits' that change the function of his 'D' ability.

Combat Trait

Lightning Conduit: Static Shock
Lei Shen's next 'Axe of the Thunder King' applies 'Static Shock' to the target. Static Shock creates a small ring that charges over 2.5 seconds and detonates around the target. Deals 300 damage split among all targets in the ring. If the target is a hero the damage will only apply to other heroes. If the target is a minion deals 200% damage and only affects other minions. 20 second CD.

Overload effect: Targets hit by Static Shock gain a static shock ring of their own. (This second Static Shock cannot spread)
