Xavius

By:
Last Updated:

Lord Xavius was the first to answer Sargeras' call and convinced his queen to turn on her people, starting the War of the Ancients. As he lay defeated at the bottom of the sea, the Old Gods came to his rescue. They only asked for one thing, to turn the Emerald Dream into a living nightmare, and Xavius was happy to comply.

Aside from mana, Xavius uses a unique resource known as Corruption. Corruption is not displayed by Xavius, rather, a red bar below the enemies' health and mana displays the amount they possess individually.
Each enemy Hero can have a maximum of 100 Corruption. Corruption is generated by taking damage from Xavius' abilities and attacks, but some of them consume or benefit from it, rather than generate it.
Corruption is decreased after not taking damage for 3 seconds at the rate mana regenerates at the Hall of Storms (Hearthstone).
