Alarak's second heroic is Counter Strike. After a brief delay, he snipes all enemy heroes on the map, killing them instantly. Then he proceeds to rush B.
I think you forgot some part He has to shout loudly in Russian first, announcing that the channel is beginning, and any enemy heroes who are already dead have their computers sniped, immediately uninstalling the game.
nexus alternate reality lore. the skin is a "what if" he exists in world of warcraft and serve the old gods. its called "herald of n'zoth". that is something i like about blizz doing skins. its the nexus with alternate realms and realities so they decide to give skins some background lore and what realm they are from or what if timelines. blood queen kerrigan and crimson count arthas are from the raven court realm and they face vampire hunter valla. for timelines of "what if" tyrande and maiev switched roles and same with illidan and malfurion. illidan is a druid and his brother the betrayer while tyrande is the warden and maiev became the priestess of elune. oh and the sentinals in that what if timeline are dryads.
Fun Fact: Discord Strike is suppose to be a reference to Alarak's VA's (Tom deClance) past roles. It's his Q ability (Q from Star Trek) and Discord was a character from MLP. Least, that's what the wiki told me.
Alarak vs Illidan, the edgiest duel in the Nexus Illidan jumps on Alarak and gets silenced, then Alarak Lightning surges him. Illidan realizes Alarak is too edgy and tries to escape. Nope, using his Sith might and telekinesis Illidan back in just in time for another sweet silence. For the first time ever Illidan was butchered by someone who isn't Butcher. Long live the Highlord! Glory to the Tal'darim!
greatshaman0724 Q is a character from Star Trek that was played by John deLancie. The character is much beloved by the ST comunity and is one of the most famous characters he ever played. Discord is a vilain from MLP that was inpired by Q and was also played by John deLancie. Togteher Q and Discord as possibly the mos amous and most beloved roles he ahs ever done in any sort of media. Since Alarak is also voiced by deLancie the combo of his Q skill being called DISCORD Strike is a double reference.
This guy looks like the carry we have been asking for with a very very high skill cap. Only the very best will be able to use him as intended. Looks great.
+KittenCritters Yes... she can. If you take Wave of Force and Archon you can cast both ultimates but everybody is so busy picking the same talents every game that nobody knows that.
i didn't say more, cause i was angry with him. I have him almost lvl9. I like that hero more than in the beginning. But still! (He can be useful), but never great. For players, who are looking for MVP, he is very bad :D
+Kacper Nowak Yes,when they literally add "NEW PATCH HAS COME" everywhere. or when they give you the wrong dates. Is it so hard to properly tell people the dates ?
I love that the video shows the Tal'darim having Void Rays as they are leaving Aiur.............................................................................
A tip, If you get CC'd while casting counter-strike, it will be interrupted, also any form of damage will interrupt the charge up time with deadly charge
His Q ability is also a DISCORD strike. Sadly, they couldn't figure out a way to force a joke about Professor Quadrangle, but to be fair that was his worst role.
Nah, he's pretty high skill floor. Much harder to play well than, say, Kerrigan. He may be good, but I don't think he'll have a high winrate on release.
Alarak is so cool man, I'm really excited to get him in Heroes. I just uploaded a video of my very first game on him, I like his Sadism build where you don't reduce his trait at all for massive damage late game.
UnusuallyLargeCrab Haha, probably. A lot of his utility is pretty good though. Ultimately his best build is probably gonna be his Lightning Surge build I think.
I'm not. I can't remember my talents, but I like the build where I'm around 70% of Sadism. I think talents are for - Telekinesis 1st level, then for Q (2 talents probably). Something like that.
Hehe; "Discord Strike". And Alarak is voiced by John DeLancie, who's also the voice of a character called Discord in the G4 MLP franchise. There's no way that was a coincidence. :)
Still one of my favorite heroes~. His attacks and spells are so MEATY and THICC. Love grabbing a squishy spell caster, jamming a discord strike down their throat, then watching them panic.

he also plays cheeki breeki hardbass on his boombox whilst doing so

I wanted to see something like this, its not that good, but it will do it :)
"You think us fools?, Yes but that is irrelevant"

Best savage burn
maxim belousov This what I, Alarak main, saying to my enemies every time.
well, yes but actually no...
He's a sith lord.

Are you sure?
+Thomas Henry what the skin and background lore? Ya in game store shows you that.
right. I seem to recall that the Azmodan that exists in the Nexus won his war against the high heavens, and Diablo never resurrected.
he is 10 times more cool
I freaking love when we get StarCraft 2 heroes.
all we need is karax specialist and we can have a full team of protoss
Probius incoming now:)
We need Fenix
@@lukastefanovic5732 You mean Talandar?
StarCraft is the only Blizzard IP I've ever cared about.

A good player can avoid the silence, and can solo the butcher too.
You’re flattery is transparent, supplicant.
wouldn't be the first time Illidan loses an edginess duel.
No Alarak trailer? This is a grave disrespect to the highlord.
"His Q ability is Discord Strike" - double reference combo!
I was searching for this comment. I love Blizzard.
can u please explain? :/
greatshaman0724 Q is a character from Star Trek that was played by John deLancie. The character is much beloved by the ST comunity and is one of the most famous characters he ever played.
Discord is a vilain from MLP that was inpired by Q and was also played by John deLancie.
Togteher Q and Discord as possibly the mos amous and most beloved roles he ahs ever done in any sort of media.
Since Alarak is also voiced by deLancie the combo of his Q skill being called DISCORD Strike is a double reference.
'Q' was a Star Trek character voiced by the same guy that voices Alarak. and 'Discord' is another one of those shared-voices.
All the yes!
This guy looks like the carry we have been asking for with a very very high skill cap. Only the very best will be able to use him as intended. Looks great.
Illidan in Quick Match: Take Two.
Never played The Lost Vikings before have you? Or Abathur?
Drew Armstrong, The Glorious Lobster Emperor he said "carry" mate
"That was rather disagreeable ... do not fail me again!"
DISCORD strike is his Q ability
...cute
i hope he has some pony puns :D
Laernas
Not a Star Trek fan?
Why not both?
Yes, I don't watch MLP and even I got that reference.
They must have done that on purpose. So good.
Man, this guy's voice acting and Cthulhu skin easily make him one of the more badass additions to the roster.
Alarak: ''But be careful. If you don't have the support of your allies, Alarak could be in some problem.''
Also Alarak: 4:49
Join the dark side. They got Alarak.
wait wait wait, so Alarak gets two heroics instead of a boosted heroic?
yup
yep as liming
+Molnár Dávid Liming doesn't get two heroics
well she can, chose wave of force in lv 10, and archon mode at lv 20.
+KittenCritters Yes... she can. If you take Wave of Force and Archon you can cast both ultimates but everybody is so busy picking the same talents every game that nobody knows that.
well alarak gets 2 heroics, but graves cant have a cigar
Wrong Game ^_^
( And none of Yorick graves cant have a cigar)
+Polec Vlad At least he can dig Graves. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
> but Tychus can't have a cigar
FTFY.
He *can* have a cigar--it drops into his suit if he's not careful---we're just not allowed to see it. ;P
Yes, my boy Alarak is in the game. Now we need Kel'Thuzad and Lady Vashj.
TheGarbageMan BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WOW HEROES0
TheGarbageMan you got 1
Been playing Alarak since it came out. Nowday I'm level 480, and I can say with total confidence: He's OK.
See now this is a good hero choice.
+danielgr86 he can do many things, start the batle, silence, stick to enemys, self protect, a charge, heal. he is almost perfect
he si so bad
when he says start a battle he means catching someone out with telekinesis.
i didn't say more, cause i was angry with him. I have him almost lvl9. I like that hero more than in the beginning. But still! (He can be useful), but never great. For players, who are looking for MVP, he is very bad :D
"His Q ability is Discord strike."
...
I GET IT!!!
I would buy Alarak.
IF THEY RELEASED HIM IN EU ALREADY
Every patch in EU comes to servers ONE DAY AFTER US patch. Is it so hard to learn it, once and for all?
lol
+Kacper Nowak Yes,when they literally add "NEW PATCH HAS COME" everywhere.
or when they give you the wrong dates.
Is it so hard to properly tell people the dates ?
13.09 Tuesday - US. 14.09 Wednesday - EU. After all this time we should actually learn it, in which day patch come to which region.
It's the current year!!!
Oddly, I was playing Starcraft 2's Protoss expansion and thought he would be a good addition to Heroes of the Storm the last few days.
Of course you thought like that hevis awesome.
I only bought the expansion this month. But let's just go with the fact that it was an idea before it was official.
Didn't realize how impactful Alarak could be until I watched this.
He's not a sith lord, he's NOD cyborg!
2:50 "unlimited power!!!"
he has so much potential. moving enemies to line up his E so he can recover lots of health
Still wating for specialist fenix in dragoon form :r
here we go.have fenix)
Im still waiting for the arena
Yeah..
what arena?
Bora Aksoy New map that was announced 1 year ago
Oh yeah ? Never heard of it. And im still sitting here waiting for haunted mines to come back..
haunted mines u can play with friends and ai just saying and I still waiting 4 Baal from diablo 2
1:10 "His *Q* ability is *Discord* strike"
John De Lancie is such a great actor amirite?
i love the fact they named his q ability. discord strike. because he is Q in star trek and voices discord in my little pony.
JOHN DE LANCIE!!!!
Discord strike! Get the reference!
And its his "Q" ability :P
Дмитрий Клепиков Wonder if they were going for that. If they were, that's pretty awsome
It's Blizzard. I would be more surprised if they weren't going for that.
It would be virtually impossible to have two references like that just happen coincidentally without anybody noticing.
I love that the video shows the Tal'darim having Void Rays as they are leaving Aiur.............................................................................
Caleb Jaaniste Destroyers*
because ONLY DESTRUCTION AWAITS OUR FOE
Still waiting for Kel'Thuzad
Still waiting for Baal.
Still waitin for Malthael :)
still waiting for deathwing
Still waiting for Zul'Jin who has been datamined ;)
still waiting for Leeroy Jenkins...
You shoud add a skin of Hybrid Alarak that looks like light blue archon hybrid in SC2
dude, what a beast. i'll probably never play him, but he looks amazing.
So there is no hero trailer for him? That is sad.....
I think machines of war thing was his tralier.
Fun Fact:
Alarak’s Q ability refers the two characters played by John De Lancie.
- Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation
- Discord from My Little Pony
4:02 To be continued...
Torqus Jojos!
she died
Trouncer Yep she ded
So. John De Lancies's 'Q' Ability is 'Discord' Strike. Subtle. So So Subtle.
Alarak’s Q ability is called Discord Strike. I saw what they did there!
A tip, If you get CC'd while casting counter-strike, it will be interrupted, also any form of damage will interrupt the charge up time with deadly charge
His Q ability...
Jursa his *Q* is *Discord* strike
HAH THE COMBO
That's really cool you can take both Heroics.
Now I Know Where the swain rework was inspired from
"His Q ability..."
hahaha, good one, Blizzard, good one.
His Q ability is also a DISCORD strike. Sadly, they couldn't figure out a way to force a joke about Professor Quadrangle, but to be fair that was his worst role.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! ALARAK! YAAAH!!!
Kinda wish they made a cool, high budget cinematic for him.
No one's gonna talk about the Palpatine VS Yoda reference at 2:46? Okay then.
when is tosh going to show up?
holy shjt u look just like him
never noticed that before.
Not just like him, a bit though. Man you should try some cosplay xD!
Emmanuel Morris i am here...what do you want?dont see that i am busy with revenge?no need to play in playground of nexus.
John de Lancie... I came.
guess whos gonna get nerf in 2 weeks?
I hope Falstad
Falstad does/did get a nerf with the Alarak patch.
guys, isn't hammer a more big of a deal? she has 55% winrate for no reason at all. No skill needed either... .-.
Nah, he's pretty high skill floor. Much harder to play well than, say, Kerrigan. He may be good, but I don't think he'll have a high winrate on release.
The fact that i play solo queue quickmatch very often means that i almost never have something like a "team".. ._.
I like how the Counter-Strike scene uses Jim
The apm its gonna take to play him well..
Fitting for a Starcraft hero
LOL APM IN MOBA ESPECIALLY IN HOTS good joke :D
I've been wanting this guy in hots for so long.
Two Protoss heroes and no one is Fenix. Thanks Blizzard to brings winter to my heart.
You can use the Purifier skin for Artanis for now.
HighLanderPony The Purifier is a mere "copy". It is not the true hero that Fenix is.
***** I'm aware, but it's the best you'll get for now, heh.
Darosamath agreed, although I think we should get his dragoon form, as we already have four actual protoss.
its summer now :D
nice assassin. cant wait for samuro now
My favorite character. Probably, because of knowing he is voiced by Q from Star Trek...
I wish Kel Thuzard was in the heroes of the storm
Can't be the only one who likes the narrator.
Combine Zerg from Buzz Ligh Year, and Darth Vedar. You get this awesome treat.
4:27 Only now i just noticed Nova dead animation a bit weird
Alarak is so cool man, I'm really excited to get him in Heroes. I just uploaded a video of my very first game on him, I like his Sadism build where you don't reduce his trait at all for massive damage late game.
yes, this is obviously the build that 99% of players are going to use on release lol
UnusuallyLargeCrab Haha, probably. A lot of his utility is pretty good though. Ultimately his best build is probably gonna be his Lightning Surge build I think.
I'm not. I can't remember my talents, but I like the build where I'm around 70% of Sadism. I think talents are for - Telekinesis 1st level, then for Q (2 talents probably). Something like that.
The guy behind the mic:Becareful though a mistimeed telekenesis will have deadly results
Alarak at 3:49 :yeah i can see that
When I first saw Alarak I thought he was making a >:3 face
hahahaha yea ffs xddd
Portoss are the most Jedi and Sith Eldar i've ever seen
1:26 I love the Zarya they just planted there😂
He's much more dark side than emperor palpatine and dark vader.
You have to wonder what's going through his mind at 3:50. My guess? "Wow, it's like a fairground ride!"
Hang on a second...
Where's his hero trailer?
Hehe; "Discord Strike". And Alarak is voiced by John DeLancie, who's also the voice of a character called Discord in the G4 MLP franchise. There's no way that was a coincidence. :)
Alarak should get his own Trailer. His voice would just make it perfect lol.
Looks amazing already!
I still can't get over the fact that Alarak's helm has a kitty face on it :3
Now we need Selendis or Razagal and we have an all Protos team
Aldo Lingua Well there's Fenix and Vorazun.
Aldo Lingua karax?karass?Talis?
Alarak. My favourite. His voice is the pure evil leader.
I suggest as next hero Khel thuzad (Support or Spec.), Cairne (Tank) or Darion Morgraine/Tirion Fordring (Tank or Damager)
Can't wait to see the wtf moments with Alarak and his push/pull skill lol
"Oh predictable yet effective"
Best voice acting in the game, until Malthael arrives.
Dear Blizzard, please make Magneto skin for Alarak!
Almost like a specialist assassin.
Well sure Alarak gets his two heroics, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
"dissect your enemies before breaking them apart"
don't those mean basically the same thing
The best Blizzard's hero in design aspect
His skills are awsome, but difficult to use it like a boss (for me)
May I ask... Where is Zagara and Kerrigan heroes Spotlight? And as well as Tychus?
Still one of my favorite heroes~.
His attacks and spells are so MEATY and THICC.
Love grabbing a squishy spell caster, jamming a discord strike down their throat, then watching them panic.
Darth Alarak is my favourite Sith
"Alarak is an abarrent melee assas-"
Alarak is an edgelord and the best character of SC2 and all videogame time.
Deal with it.
idk about anyone else, but to me that counter-strike looks one step away from Genji's deflect
Now all we need is Kel'thuzad and Nefarian and team snark is a go.
GOD i love Alarak.
And thus was the sass master born
I love how all protoss clan have different colors and different religions
Emperor Palpatine?
LOL he's 2nd ult is like that of nomad from HoN ./.
Him being voiced by Q is infinitely amusing :)
I waited for you
You will be mine
he’s is my favorite character
"What if Darth Vader was a protoss?"
Yeah...yeah...where's grommash?
