Abilities Top

Illidan is an extremely ability oriented hero. He cannot dish out a lot of damage with his basic attack so without his abilities he would never be able to kill anyone let alone to catch up to enemy heroes and get the killing blow. Since Illidan requires no mana to use his abilities, they are spammable. This is an important aspect of Illidan as you will see below.

(Q) Dive is Illidan 's main attack ability. Dive allows you to interrupt an opponent's movement as well as catch up to him as Illidan is extremely slow compared to some heroes. This is his bread and butter ability and is the ability you probably will be using most to catch up to enemy heroes as well as dish damage.

(W) Sweeping Strike is Illidan 's second damage dealing ability as well as an escape ability. Sweeping Strike , when used to escape, is a lot like Vault for Valla however is not as affected by pathing as Vault is. Sweeping Strike can also be used on the offensive as it increases your basic attack damage for a duration and allows you to catch up with your opponent.

(E) Evasion is Illidan 's main escape ability. It renders any normal damage hitting Illidan for a duration to do no damage. This is extremely important to Illidan as without this ability Illidan would die before he can close the distance as he is squishy. This ability is useful against high DPS assassins such as Valla and Tychus to prevent them from getting the final blow, however Illidan can still be killed by ability damage so be careful when diving headlong into a bunch of enemies while their abilities are not on cooldown.

(R) The Hunt or Metamorphosis are Illidan 's heroic abilities. Metamorphosis turns Illidan into a powerful Demon, however it prevents him from riding a mount as well as decreases his movement speed, but it increases his health and attack speed as well as doing area damage to the place he spawns. The Hunt is kind of like Judgment and is used to temporarily stun and enemy hero as well as do instant damage to the target closing the distance.
