In this guide, you'll find three variations of builds to run on Tyrande, as well a run-down on all her talents and abilities. You can copy these builds talent-for-talent in every game. However, I'd strongly recommend you read through what each do and tune your selection according to the game.

Every game is different, and while I'd love to run my Huntress build every game, sometimes Owl is just the better choice!

As an aside, if you're new to HOTS and wondering what Tyrande's role in the game is, she's a sustained healer who uses her auto-attacks to reset her healing cooldowns. In my opinion, she has a medium skill floor with a high skill cap.

Light of Elune [Q] | Mana: 15 | Charges: 2 | Recharge Time: 16 seconds Heal an ally Hero for 270 (+4% per level).

Cooldown replenishes all charges at the same time.

Sentinel [W] | Mana: 50 | Cooldown: 15 seconds Send an Owl across the battleground revealing its path, dealing 120 (+4% per level) damage to the first Hero hit, and revealing them for 5 seconds. If a Hero revealed by Sentinel dies, refresh its cooldown.

Lunar Flare [E] | Mana: 60 | Cooldown: 13 seconds After 0.75 seconds, deal 150 (+4% per level) damage and Stun enemies in the target area for 0.75 seconds.

Light of Elune [Q] | Mana: 15 | Charges: 2 | Recharge Time: 16 seconds Reveal a non-Structure enemy and reduce their Armor by 15 for 4 seconds. Passive: Tyrande's Basic Attacks heal her for 1% of her maximum Health, doubled against targets with Hunter's Mark.

Shadowstalk [R] | Mana: 75 | Cooldown: 90 seconds Grant all allied Heroes Stealth for 10 seconds and heal them for 380 (+4% per level) Health over 10 seconds. Remaining stationary for at least 1.5 seconds while Stealthed grants Invisible.

Tyrande's owl build is her most popular, for good reason. Without specifically talenting into her W, the owl only becomes a tool for vision since it won't provide execute damage nor crowd control. By talenting into the owl build, you make the most of her W while still having access to her strong follow-up and sustain, Do not sit on your owls - throw them out constantly to provide vision. Send them down the middle of mercenary camps and objectives. The owl later becomes a tool in teamfights by slowing and reducing damage to those who are hit. Look to hit two heroes with to slow them, then follow up with a Lunar Flare stun to secure kills.

My Lunar Blaze build is an aggressive Tyrande build that requires a strong frontline to combo crowd control with. Wait for tanks to engage with their own CC before following up with Lunar Flare, stacking your quest for higher damage. Later talent levels will be spent reducing the cooldown of both Hunter's Mark and Lunar Flare. Elune's Chosen is the default talent for most players since it's simple to use and a great healing CD. However, with this build, Mark of Mending is a viable choice as well - experiment with it! Darnassian Archery is a great replacement talent if you don't need Celestial Alignment; however, it does require you to be even more aggressive.

Tyrande's Huntress build is best paired with a second support to cover the gaps in your healing. That being said, I've run this build as a solo healer before, and it isn't bad! Your damage potential is much higher than usual, and while you won't be running numbers like a Valla, you'll be more of a threat. Darnassian Archery infinitely stacks, and if teamfights are allowed to be prolonged, you will pump very noticeable damage. Combine Huntress' Fury with Starfall to provide incredibly CD reduction on Light of Elune.
