Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Onyxia

Combat Trait

Broodmother

Activate to lay a clutch of three eggs at the target location. 30 second cooldown.

After 30 seconds or when the eggs are destroyed they will each hatch a Whelp that will attack nearby enemies and push down the nearest lane. Eggs can be attacked by enemies and are dealt high damage by enemies that walk over them.

Whelps that hatched naturally last for 30 seconds.

Whelps hatched by having their eggs destroyed last for 10 seconds and deal 25% more damage.

Primary Abilities

Dragon Claw

Swipe at enemies in a medium ranged arc in front of you, dealing damage. 2 charges, 6 second recharge.

The duration of your fire effects on the battlefield is increased by 0.5 seconds for each enemy hero hit by Dragon Claw.

Deep Breath

Activate to begin channeling Deep Breath, up to 2 seconds, before unleashed a medium-range cone of fire in front of you. 9 second cooldown.

The fire from Deep Breath persists on the ground for a duration equal to 300% of the time you spent channeling.

Tail Swipe

Swing your tail behind you, knocking back and slowing all enemies hit by 30% for 3 seconds. 18 second cooldown.

Tail Swipe can be cast while moving.

Tail Swipe is cast by a click and drag mechanic, similar to Alarak's Telekinesis. This provides Onyxia with control in choosing the direction she moves enemies, but is primarily to cause the player to "aim" their Tail Swipes instead of just instantly turning around and casting it to knock enemies away.

Heroic Abilities

Wing Buffet

Flap your wings, gradually pushing back enemies in a wide area in front of you and fanning all of your active flames in the target area. Lasts 5 seconds. 60 second cooldown.

Flames hit by Wing Buffet have their durations paused and increase in size by 10% per second.

Onyxia's Lair

Activate to cause a web of lava cracks to beginning radiating outwards from your location, quickly covering a large area over 5 seconds. 70 second cooldown.

Each time an enemy moves over a lava crack they are dealt fire damage and become marked with Onyxia's Lair. Upon reaching 5 marks of Onyxia's Lair that enemy becomes feared for 1.5 seconds. Enemies can only be feared once per cast.

I have a suggestion. The traid would be 10s CD and 3 charges. It gives players the possibility to push 3 lanes.

That would just be op. Even Azmodan's minion can only push 1 at a time.

Haven't seen your work in a while. +1 from me.
