His HP pool is smaller than those of the tank heroes, and he also lacks their kit of gap closers, interrupts, disables and disengage skills.

So this is not a guide how Arthas should be played, but how is possible to be played besides standard Frostmourne, Heavy Tank or Sindragosa builds (which will be explained as well).Īs Warrior, Arthas is bruiser with his specific kit. Some of my talent choices are not popular, while some of the popular ones never worked for me. The main build in this guide works very well for me and makes Arthas capable jungler and laner without hurting significantly his roaming capability. So normally some skills that are popular at high level don't fit the playstyle. In a pro game teams score 5-10 takedowns, for unorganized game the number is 20-30 and often someone has to play the role of those on respawn timer. Besides obvious things like communication and coordination, strategies during games are also different and heroes have to be be more versatile. SoloQ is quite different from playing on organized team. The purpose of this guide is to share my experience playing him on soloQ. Many games later, learned how to adapt him to my style, different maps and compositions. When I initially got Arthas to level 5, my impression was for a clumsy tank with AoE aura draining his mana, nice engage/peel/disengage which is hard to land, one heroic that is useless before lvl.20 with disorganized team, and if you go for damage talents becomes too vulnerable.
