Tyrael is a melee Warrior Hero from the Diablo universe.

Among the angels it is the Archangel of Justice Tyrael who is humanity's greatest defender. Wielding his sword El'druin against the Burning Hells, the Prime Evils would have enslaved Sanctuary and all of humanity long ago if Tyrael had not intervened.

He a strong front-line Hero that can support his allies, Shielding them and increasing their Movement Speed. Explodes when he dies, damaging nearby enemies.

Background[]

As the Archangel Angel and Aspect of Justice, Tyrael participated in the Great Conflict, and his exploits in battle became the stuff of legend. According to Imperius, he and Tyrael saved each other's lives countless times during the conflict. Off the battlefield, he administered the Courts of Justice.[1]

Gameplay Summary[]

Tyrael is a very mobile Warrior with Bruiser-oriented gameplay, capable of getting in and out of combat very quickly. He also brings a lot of utility to the table, featuring shielding for his allies, as well having a flexible talent tree that allows him to adapt to a lot of circumstances.

Overall, he excels at either initiating or following up on team fights, as well picking off isolated enemies. Because of this, he shines in aggressive team compositions, especially dive-oriented ones. He is at his best as a secondary Warrior.

Strengths[]

  • Flexible talent tree, allowing him to focus on either defensive or offensive builds.
  • Very effective at diving and causing havoc to the backline.
  • El'Druin's Might provides him with exceptional mobility.
    • The level 13 talent, Holy Ground, provides a very strong area of denial and body-blocking potential.
  • Rightneousness provides a decent amount of area of effect shielding that can save allies in critical moments.
  • Smite provides both damage and utility with an invaluable movement speed bonus, which, when combined with the shields from Righteousness, makes Tyrael a strong supportive Hero.
  • Judgement is a powerful and effective diving tool for focusing specific targets.
  • Sanctification can single handedly secure team fights if used correctly.

Weaknesses[]

  • Very mana-intensive.
  • Not very effective as a solo Warrior, as he doesn't provide proper peeling tools.
  • Poor waveclear.
  • Requires specific team compositions in order to truly be effective.
  • Archangel's Wrath doesn't provide any additional effects, and only works when Tyrael dies.

Talent Builds[]

Tips[]

  • Be very mindful when using Tyrael's abilities, specially during the laning phase, as he runs out of mana pretty fast.
  • Use El'Druin's Might to delay an objective until teammates can make their way into position.
    • It can also be used to play effective mindgames against enemy Heroes, such as conditioning to move to one way, only to surprise them by teleporting.
    • Make full use of Holy Ground (at level 13) to steal mercenary camps or to secure specific objectives (such as teleporting to the Shrines faster on Dragon Shire).
  • Save Righteousness to use when diving deep into a battle.
  • Make sure to announce to the team when about to cast Judgement, so they can follow up properly and focus fire on Tyrael's target.
  • Make sure to announce to the team when about to cast Sanctification, to ensure all allies are within range to be protected.
    • Make sure to track enemy cooldowns accordingly, specially Heroic abilities.

Matchups[]

Pairings[]

The Butcherplate
Tyrael's abilities are great at both engaging and disengaging, which is useful to make The Butcher more slippery and less susceptible to focus fire. El'druin's Might and Judgement are particularly powerful to lock on opponents and both open opportunities as well as follow up for Ruthless Onslaught.


Effective against[]

Aurielplate
Tyrael excels at diving in the backline, which is the midterm where Auriel resides. El'druin's Might is very dangerous due its teleport and slow functions, allowing Tyrael to stick on Auriel similarly to Tracer and Zeratul, while at the same time Smite allows opponents to chase Auriel more easily. His Judgement is potentially fatal as it can and will give Tyrael's allies enough time to follow up after the stun; on the other hand, Auriel can cancel his charge with Crystal Aegis.
