Threat Hero Notes
1
 Valla Valla should he an easy kill in 90% of situations, because of her health pool. Save blink for tumble.
1
 Murky Should never be a challange.
1
 Abathur As long as you can find him, he should be killed almost instantly.
2
 Jaina Your mobility makes this a fairly easy match up.
2
 Malfurion Mobility is the key to victory here.
3
 Kerrigan Your burst basicly counters her shields, and your blink makes you able to dodge her stun combo.
3
 Raynor Raynor should be an easy kill. Try saving your blink for the pushback.
3
 Tyrande Dodge her stun and it should be an easy kill.
4
 Anub'arak He might seen beefy, but if you spend some cooldowns you should be able to kill him 1on1.
4
 Brightwing Since Brightwing's heals are small compared to the other healers you should be able to nuke him down with your burst.
4
 Gazlowe Overcommit to this fight and you are dead. On the other hand, if you kite him around with your spikes and stay away from the turrets you should be able to kill him.
4
 Nazeebo You should be able to nuke him, but be aware of his damage. One mistake and you are dead.
4
 Zagara Zagara is rather squishy, but her damage is huge. Dodge the banelings and blink away from her hydralisk.
5
 Falstad Falstad has the damage to kill you fairly easy if you dont blink avay from his lightning rod.
5
 Illidan Use your spells upon the evasion and just go all in will make you win.
5
 Li Li Lili is a hard match up because of the heals and he ability to blind.
5
 Nova This is basicly all about who's able to catch who from stealth and get the first hit.
5
 Tassadar You might be able to kill Tassadar if you do every single play right, but the survive ablitiy of him makes it really difficult.
6
 Azmodan Azmodan has a rather large health pool, so nuking him is an option.
6
 Rehgar Reghar will most likely get away from you no mather what.
6
 Stitches You will lose this fight alone.
7
 Arthas Arthas is a hard match up, because of his constant heals.
7
 Sonya The damage and health pool of Sonya will tare you apart.
7
 Uther If you for once win a fight vs Uther, he will simply kill you with the afterlife ghost as his cooldowns are reset.
8
 Diablo If you play it right you might win a confrontation vs Diablo, but the health pool of diablo is rather huge. Because of his low damage, he is not the worst to encounter.
8
 The Lost Vikings The lost viking you will be able to kill one by one, but together they will wreck you.
8
 Tychus Your burst will almost kill him, but almost is not enough. His damage will destroy your healrh pool.
9
 E.T.C. ETC will CC you to death. Blink upon him and he will push you back, damage him and he will heal. Basicly a nightmare.
9
 Sgt. Hammer If you at last get in range to Stg. Hammer, she will simply just know you away and keep siegeing you as you most likely wont have your blink.
9
 Thrall Thrall is just a hard match up. His heals and the ability to lock you in place will make it really hard for you.
9
 Tyrael The beefyness of Tyrael will keep him alove forever.
10
 Chen Chen simply wont die. Singularity spikes will most likely be shielded away because of his trait, and you wont be able to nuke him what so ever.
10
 Muradin The health pool is just way too large to make anything happen alone.

Intro Top

The main objective for you as Zeratul if you follow this guide is jumping in and out of stealth as much as you possibly can. Your Cleave does more damage in stealth, you gain 25% damage after breaking stealrth and because of the Focused Attack your first attack after breaking stealth also will be increased by 50%.

Early game Top

In the early game your goal should be to walk up to the enemies and hit them with a Cleave and a Singularity spike and then Blink back to safety. Keep picking up health globes and soak exp.
Your damage wont be that great in the early game, so you should not be going all in to any kind of confrontation as long as its not a secure kill.
At level 7 things Are starting to get more fun with this build. After picking up the level 7 talent your Cleave will become really stong if you keep the rotation mentioned earlier.

Mid game Top

This is where Zeratul starts to pick up. Your damage is huge in this phase of the game and you should be able to pick up almost any squishy targets with your burst at this moment. When you find yourself too deep or simply a team fight starts throw out the void prison, and you and your team mates should be able to survive, no problem. Be aware of that you may trap your team mates with it.
In a team fight, try not to throw it on all of the enemies, but all of the targets that shouldnt be focused. This makes your team able to kill the remaining targets thats not frozen.

Late game Top

Late game is pretty much all about nuking their damage dealers and getting out. Stay alive, stealth and re-engage. Keep in mind that for every time you break stealth your damage gets a HUGE boost. At approx level 20 your first basic attack after breaking stealth will deal around 600 damage. Your rotation late game should be Cleave - AA - double Singularity spike.
