Uther is a melee Healer and one of the purest and strongest supports in the game, having incredible utility in teamfights and laning. His trait has two effects - ''Devotion'' grants bonus Armor for few seconds to everyone he heals, and ''Eternal Vanguard'' allows him to persist as an invulnerable spirit for a short period when he dies, still able to heal his allies with the [[SpamAttack low-cooldown]] ''Flash of Light''. His active abilities include ''Holy Light'', a bog-standard (but strong) single-target heal that also restores Uther's health; ''Holy Radiance'', a line-firing projectile that damages enemies and heals allies it passes through; and ''Hammer of Justice'', a melee bash that stuns the target.\\

Uther's first Heroic ability, ''Divine Shield'', grants any ally temporary invulnerability to damage and crowd control and gives them a movement speed boost. His second Heroic ability, ''Divine Storm'', damages and stuns all enemies in an area around him.\\

Whitemane is an aggressive Healer based on a Discipline priest from ''World of Warcraft''. Her trait is ''Zeal'', which places a buff on any ally she heals, further healing them for the damage Whitemane deals to enemy heroes. In addition, activating ''Zeal'' grants Whitemane a temporary Spell Power boost but reduces her own Armor. Her first ability, ''Desperate Plea'', heals an ally for a small amount and infuses them with ''Zeal''. The ability has almost no cooldown, but each cast puts a stack of Desperation on her, temporarily increasing the cost of ''Desperate Plea'', stacking up to three times. ''Inquisition'' channels on an enemy hero, firing a beam that slows and damages the target. Her third basic ability is ''Searing Lash'', which burns a line of fire into the ground. If it hits an enemy hero, a second line will be created, forming a cross shape. Whitemane also has a fourth ability, ''Clemency'', which lets her channel a healing beam on an ally and shares its cooldown with ''Inquisition''. Casting either ''Inquisition'' or ''Clemency'' removes one stack of Desperation.\\

* NoSell: Whitemane has access to a unique version of ''Cleanse'', which renders an allied hero Unstoppable. ''Scarlet Aegis''' Storm upgrade turns this UpToEleven by making ''everyone'' affected by ''Scarlet Aegis'' Unstoppable. She can also produce a similar effect by being one of the few healers that can hope to save allies from some otherwise ''really'' hopeless situations, like getting dragged into the entire enemy team nearly alone...aside from a ''Desperate Plea'' from Whitemane followed by the rest of her kit and a ''Divine Reckoning'' on the enemy team piling in on that ally. She herself is also able to pull this off on herself as well unless the enemy team has enough lockdown to prevent her from using her abilities, making the poorly-dressed priestess [[StrongerThanTheyLook surprisingly as tough as nails]].

Tyrande is a ranged Healer who mixes healing with ranged damage. Her trait is ''Hunter's Mark'', which allows her to briefly mark any enemy, [[DamageIncreasingDebuff amplifying the damage they receive]]. Her first ability is ''Light of Elune'', which heals herself or an ally and has two charges that share a single cooldown. Each ability that hits an enemy hero or Basic Attack lowers the cooldown. ''Sentinel'' emits a spirit owl that has infinite range and scouts the area it flies through, damaging and revealing the first hero it hits. Her final basic ability, ''Lunar Flare'', is an arrow that lands after a delay, stunning all enemies in a small area.\\

* FamousLastWords: Should Whitemane die, her last word will be her uttering the name of her champion, Mograine.[[labelnote:*]]Her other voice lines in-game further imply that she and Mograine were [[BattleCouple more than just the leaders]] of the Scarlet Monastery.[[/labelnote]] She does the same in the reworked Scarlet Monastery instance, which is set after Renault Mograine died and was replaced by Commander Durand.

Anduin is a ranged Healer based on a Holy priest from ''World of Warcraft''. His trait is ''Leap of Faith'', which can be activated to pull an ally to Anduin's location, making them Unstoppable while they fly. His basic abilities include ''Flash Heal'', a heal on a short channel and very short cooldown; ''Divine Star'', a heavenly bolt that damages enemies then returns to Anduin and heals allies; and ''Chastise'', a swell of light that damages and roots the first enemy hero hit.\\

%%Anduin is a ranged Healer based on a Holy priest from ''World of Warcraft''. He has two traits: ''Pursued by Grace'' heals a nearby ally for a small amount whenever he attacks an enemy hero. His second, ''Leap of Faith'', can be activated to pull an ally to Anduin's location, making them Unstoppable while they fly. His basic abilities include ''Flash Heal'', a heal on a short channel and very short cooldown; ''Divine Star'', a heavenly bolt that damages enemies before returning to Anduin to heal allies; and ''Chastise'', a swell of light that damages and roots the first enemy hero hit.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Her Cloud Serpent and Water Dragon are this, naturally of the Eastern variety.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: Brightwing seems to be designed to be as annoying to the enemy as possible. Can harass you all day with spells? Check. Shrill laugh? Check. Simply ''will not die''? Big check.

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: In Raven Form, he is immune to all damage and harmful effects. Problem is, now he is free to follow and observe what your team is up to, and relay the info to his teammates while there's nothing you can do to stop him.

His Heroic abilities are ''Poly Bomb'', which turns an enemy into a harmless flying sheep for a short time, which then spreads to nearby enemies when it expires, and ''Ley Line Seal'', a slow projectile that freezes enemy Heroes in stasis for a short time.\\

Li Li is a ranged Healer based on non-targeted abilities who, uniquely, does best when the enemy focuses attention on her. Her trait, ''Fast Feet'', increases her movement speed and speeds up her cooldowns for a brief duration whenever she takes damage. Her first basic ability is ''Healing Brew'', which tosses out a bottle of healing tea that auto-targets the most injured ally. This skill has a very low cooldown and mana cost, allowing it to be used rapidly. ''Cloud Serpent'' summons a miniature dragon at the side of an allied hero that attacks nearby enemies. Whenever the dragon attacks, the ally is healed. Finally, ''Blinding Wind'', sends out two gusts of wind that home on the two nearest enemies, prioritizing heroes. Enemies hit by the winds are blinded for a short duration.\\

* CompositeCharacter: Malfurion's kit is largely based on the Keeper of the Grove hero unit from ''Warcraft III''. His kit and certain talents also make him a mix between the Balance and Restoration druid specializations from ''World of Warcraft''.

* SimpleYetAwesome: Anduin is a very strong all-around healer. He's like ETC or Valla in the sense that, while he may not always be the ''right'' character to play, he is ''never'' the wrong one.

* FrothyMugsOfWater: She's implied to be healing you with tea (probably because they can't show a minor drinking), although the game [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar drops plenty of hints]] that her "brew" is of a more traditional [[DrunkenMaster Stormstout]] variety...

* CombatMedic: Emphasis on Combat; her damage potential is relatively high for a Healer. She needs to actively engage in battle for ''Light of Elune'' to have a low cooldown, and provides plenty of ranged damage to do so. Prior to her rework in the Mephisto patch, she was even more dangerous. Her healing was incredibly low for a Healer, but she pumped out as much damage as any Assassin.

* TargetSpotter: Her trait ''Hunter's Mark'' puts a big red mark on the target enemy, [[DamageIncreasingDebuff increasing their damage taken.]] If her teammates are competent, they will immediately focus that enemy down, helped by the increased damage. This ability should be understood as the absolute centerpiece of her functionality. Her healing-over-time is low and she needs to expose herself to enemy fire, both of which can be liabilities in long, drawn-out teamfights... but if she ''Hunter's Marks'' a target and her team gets the kill, her liabilities no longer matter.

* ZettaiRyouiki: She wears thigh-high stockings in her default outfit, but is otherwise completely exposed from the hip to that point. This is also the case with her skins.

* MovesetClone: though he has no {{Watsonian}} relationship to Uther Lightbringer, their buttons are virtually identical: Q is a single-target heal, W shoots out a line of energy that heals allies and wounds enemies, E is a crowd-control option, R1 protects allies from incoming damage, and R2 is some form of Area-of-Effect stun. Their traits, on the other hand, are ''radically'' different: where Uther gives damage reduction with his heals and sticks around as a ghost, Anduin's is his VaudevilleHook ability.

** Both Nova and Raynor think that Anduin is Valerian Mengsk, which makes sense considering they share a voice actor and look pretty similar.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Anduin's ImmortalityField Heroic is incredibly powerful and can salvage games on its own. But it can be interrupted by ''any'' stun or boop, which some characters -- Anub'arak, Diablo, Gazlowe, Johanna, Mei -- have more than one of. If you're playing against them, you go Lightbomb... Or [[BatmanGambit hold your Salvation until all those disruption skills have already been used]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Anduin is excited to see different kinds of magic he has never seen before, like Li-Ming's arcane magic or Deckard's horadric cube, and acts awkwardly shy and babbles around Lunara, Orphea and Nova.

* WeaksauceWeakness: For all her utility, Brightwing does have one major downside: her healing only occurs in a zone around her. To save a tank, or someone who is stranded away from the team, she ''has'' to overexpose herself. If she has ''Emerald Wind'' up, that's probably fine. If she doesn't...

* BalefulPolymorph: One of her basic skills. Notably, it is a one of the few fire-and-forget kind of disables without any significant drawbacks, making it an ''incredibly'' powerful disable.

* ToServeMan: She very much enjoys eating humans. Her reveal trailer showed her chowing down on a recently-deceased Uther, and she gets excited for snack time whenever an enemy dies.

* AchillesHeel: Whitemane's heals are largely ineffective and inefficient if she stays out of combat, and only heal with ''Zeal'' if she deals damage to ''heroes''. This puts Whitemane in constant danger in team fights, which is more problematic because she lacks escapes or any basic form of crowd control effects besides ''Inquisition'', which roots her in place. She's also very poor whenever she's not in range of any heroes in general - even compared to other Healers, her abilities to kill waves of minions is pretty pathetic and she provides pretty little in a fight against only mercenaries or bosses.

* {{Dominatrix}}: She not only [[DressedLikeADominatrix dresses like one]] with her [[LeotardOfPower leotard]], her high heels with [[ZettaiRyouiki thigh-high stockings]], her [[StaffOfAuthority ornate staff]] and her [[HatOfAuthority chapeau]], she also is very commanding and condescending towards her allies, and immediately tries to establish authority and dominance over them.

* IconicOutfit: Whitemane retains her very cosplay-popular outfit. Her distinctive revealing outfit was one of the reasons for her rise in popularity in the ''World of Warcraft'' fandom.

* LifeDrain: Whitemane's not going to heal you for very much on her own, she does much better taking the life right out of the enemy team's hides to her own team.

* NoSell: Whitemane has access to a unique version of ''Cleanse'', which renders an allied hero Unstoppable. ''Scarlet Aegis''' Storm upgrade turns this UpToEleven by making ''everyone'' affected by ''Scarlet Aegis'' Unstoppable.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Most priestesses definitely don't display their butts and thighs as much as Sally Whitemane does.

* UnEvilLaugh: ''Clemency'' allows Whitemane to essentially cast ''Inquisition'' on allies as a heal. She still attempts a laugh, but it's a lot more half-hearted.

* AnimalMotifs: Ravens. His cloak is decorated with black feathers, his staff has a wooden raven atop it, and he transforms into a raven instead of mounting.

* CombatMedic: Granted, it's more 'Combat Support' than specifically Medic, but Medivh has huge damage potential thanks to his spammable ''Arcane Rift''.

* GreatEscape: With two powerful disables to choose from for his Heroics, ''Force of Will'' to shrug off damage, portals to make a quick getaway, and an invulnerable Raven Form, Medivh is ''very'' good at escaping from trouble.

In the Nexus, Alexstrasza is a shapeshifting Healer. Her trait, ''Dragonqueen'', transforms her into a colossal dragon after a short delay, temporarily granting her extra health, reducing the duration of crowd control effects used on her, and changing her abilities as well as converting her basic attack into a cone of flame that damages enemies and heals allies. Her first basic ability, ''Gift of Life'', damages Alexstrasza for a portion of her current health, healing an ally for 150% the amount spent. While in dragon form, it becomes ''Breath of Life'', greatly reducing the cooldown and removing the health cost. Her second ability, ''Abundance'', places an area on the ground that bursts after a long delay, healing all allies inside of it by a percentage of their maximum health. Empowered by her dragon form, the ability becomes ''Preservation'', greatly increasing both the area of effect and healing amount. Her final basic ability, ''Flame Buffet'', launches a fireball that sets enemies on fire, dealing damage over time. Hitting a burning enemy with the ability causes bonus damage, slows the target, and refunds the mana cost. In dragon form, it becomes ''Wing Buffet'', which instead damages and knocks back enemies in an arc. \\

Her first Heroic ability is ''Life-Binder''. Alexstrasza binds her own life with that of an allied hero, rapidly healing both herself and the ally per second. After two seconds, the hero with a lower percentage of health is healed up to the health percentage of the other hero. Her other Heroic is ''Cleansing Flame''. Alexstrasza takes to the sky, raining down five fireballs over six seconds at the location of the mouse cursor. Fireballs heal allies and damage enemies.\\

* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Averted where it regards her jewelry, but according to [[StopPokingMe on of her lines]], finding jewelry that can change sizes is incredibly difficult.

* TheSouthpaw: Seems to basic attack with his left hand.

* TheSouthpaw: She holds her bow with her right hand, the way a left-hander would.
