One of the most famous undead in Warcraft history follows Heroes of the Storm: Kel'Thuzad. As one of the Lichking's generals, he rules Naxxramas and corrupts even powerful heroes.
He brings these skills to the Nexus as well. Kel'Thuzad brings a whole range of control options with it and lives from chaining his opponents and making them immobile.
Heroes of the Storm - Kel'Thuzad skills
His passive: Master of Icy Darkness is a quest for which you have to immobilize opposing heroes with chains or the Frost Nova in order to receive a stack of Pestilence. When Kel'Thuzad reaches 15 stacks of Pestilence, the cooldowns of his basic abilities are reduced by 2 seconds. From 30 stacks, strength increases by 75%. As if that wasn't enough, his basic skills get a second effect.
Q: death and decay
Throws a bullet after 0.5 seconds, which explodes when it hits an enemy. In doing so, it deals 150 damage to enemies in the explosion area and leaves a pool of decay. The pool persists for 2 seconds, dealing 70 damage to enemies every 0.5 seconds.
W: Frost Nova
Creates a nova that explodes after 1 second. The explosion deals 212 damage to captured enemies and slows them by 35% for 2.5 seconds. Enemies in the center are immobilized for 1 second.
E: Chains of Kel'Thuzad
Throws a chain that deals 97 damage to the first enemy hero or building hit. The ability can then be reactivated within 4 seconds to throw the chain at another enemy. This pulls both enemies towards each other and stuns them for 0.5 seconds.
His 2 heroic abilities are:
R: Frost blow
Hurls an ice meteor at an enemy hero. Upon impact, the meteor inflicts 100 damage to its target and 275 damage to enemies in the area of effect. Immobilizes all enemies hit for 1.5 seconds.
R: silhouette
Opens a rift anywhere on the battlefield that explodes after 1.5 seconds, dealing 440 damage to enemies in the area of effect.
Kel'Thuzad lives, if you can say that with a lich, of bringing his abilities to the opponent as often as possible and combining them with one another. The faster he fulfills his passive quest and benefits from the bonuses, the better.
