Li Ming Heroes Of The Storm Build
Hey there, fellow Nexus dweller! Ever felt the urge to just... obliterate everything with pure arcane energy? Yeah, me too. That’s why we're talking about Li-Ming today. Aka, the Wizard of the Nexus. (And sometimes, the whiff-ard, if you're having a bad day, ha!).
Let's dive into some builds that'll have you teleporting around the battlefield like a caffeinated hummingbird, blasting fools into oblivion. Ready? Let's go!
The "Missile Build": Pew Pew Pew!
Okay, so this one's all about spamming Magic Missiles. Seriously, we're talking machine-gun levels of arcane projectiles. If you like seeing numbers fly, this is your jam.
Must Read
Level 1: Force Armor
Right off the bat, Force Armor is your bread and butter. Need that little bit of protection to survive the initial poke wars? Yep. This talent gives you some much-needed survivability early on.
Level 4: Calamity
Okay, now we’re talking. Calamity makes your Teleport deal damage! Not just damage, but significant damage, especially to those squishy backliners. Did someone say "assassin?" You betcha!
Level 7: Arcane Power
Ah, now the fun begins! Arcane Power! Casting an ability grants you increased spell power? And you're already teleporting all over the place? Get ready to become an unstoppable force.
Level 10: Wave of Force
Time for your Heroic! And Wave of Force just offers so much utility. Need to peel for your team? Got it. Want to knock an enemy into your tower? Sure thing. Oh, and it looks cool too!
Level 13: Fireflies
Missiles, missiles everywhere! Fireflies increases the number of missiles you fire after teleporting! Need I say more? It's pure, unadulterated missile spam!
Level 16: Mirrorball
This is where the build really kicks into overdrive. Mirrorball fires even more missiles! What does this mean? The enemy can't even see because of all the arcane projectiles blocking their vision. Pretty great, right?
Level 20: Temporal Flux
Finishing it off with Temporal Flux! Wave of Force now slows enemies too? Yes please! The only downside is they'll probably be dead before they feel the slow.
How to Play it: Stay behind your frontline, and just keep spamming missiles. Teleport aggressively to deal damage and dodge skillshots. Just remember to watch your mana bar, because this build can get expensive.
The "Glass Cannon" Build: Orb Master
Want to hit like a truck? A semi-truck full of arcane dynamite? Then this Orb build is for you. But be warned, it's called "glass cannon" for a reason. If someone sneezes on you, you're probably dead. Worth it? Absolutely!
Level 1: Mana Addict
Mana Addict. This is the way. Get more mana? Get more spell power? Seems like a win-win to me! The sustain this provides is crucial for keeping the orbs flying.
Level 4: Triumvirate
Triumvirate is the go-to! Reduce the mana cost and cooldown of Arcane Orb if it hits an enemy hero? Sign me up! More Orbs are better Orbs!
Level 7: Dominance
Here comes Dominance! Kills or assists reset the cooldown on Teleport. Now we're getting serious. Chain those kills, chain those teleports, chain those Orbs! This talent will really make you feel like a Dominator.
Level 10: Wave of Force
Again, Wave of Force for that extra utility, or Disintegrate if you're feeling particularly aggressive and want to melt face. But generally, Wave is safer and more versatile.
Level 13: Charged Blast
More damage, more range? Charged Blast will certainly boost your kill secure potential. Watch those heroes run when they see that Orb flying. And if they don't run, well, that's their mistake!
Level 16: Temporal Surge
Gotta get that increased movement speed after hitting an enemy with an Orb! Hello, Temporal Surge! This allows for better kiting, positioning, and generally being a slippery wizard.
Level 20: Cannoneer
Okay, Cannoneer gives you more damage based on distance to target. Stay far back. Get that extra damage. Profit!
How to Play it: Position yourself way in the back. Seriously, behind your supports. Your job is to snipe enemies with Arcane Orb. If anyone gets close, teleport away immediately. This build requires excellent positioning and awareness, but the payoff is huge.
The "Teleport Assassin" Build: Blink and You're Dead
Do you want to be in and out before they even know what happened? Then this teleport build is for you! This is all about burst damage and mobility, making you a nightmare for unsuspecting enemies.
Level 1: Force Armor
Yet again, Force Armor provides that crucial early game survivability. No need to overcomplicate things!
Level 4: Calamity
Calamity! More teleport damage? Fantastic. Really essential for maximizing burst damage potential in this build.
Level 7: Illusionist
Illusionist lets you reset the cooldown of Teleport when taking damage below a certain threshold! Extra mobility? Extra survivability? You betcha.
Level 10: Disintegrate
For this build, you want Disintegrate. It’s all about that focused burst! Channeling can be risky, but if you time it right, you can delete heroes from existence.
Level 13: Zei's Vengeance
You're teleporting anyway, right? Extra damage because you're far away? Zei's Vengeance is exactly what you need. A damage multiplier that synergizes perfectly with your playstyle.
Level 16: Diamond Skin
While some may want more damage here, Diamond Skin provides a crucial shield after teleporting. It allows for more aggressive plays without immediately exploding.
Level 20: Temporal Flux
Temporal Flux! Not only is Wave of Force amazing for its utility, it's made even better with the added slow!
How to Play it: Find isolated targets, teleport in with Calamity, unleash your abilities, and then teleport out before they can react. You're an assassin, not a brawler. Pick your targets carefully and strike with precision.
General Tips for Playing Li-Ming:
- Positioning is key: Li-Ming is squishy. Stay in the backline and let your tanks protect you.
- Manage your mana: She's a mana hog. Don't spam abilities unnecessarily.
- Practice your skillshots: Her abilities require good aim. Spend some time in Try Mode practicing your orb and missile accuracy.
- Adapt your build: Don't be afraid to deviate from these builds based on the enemy team composition and the map.
- Have fun!: Li-Ming is one of the most rewarding heroes to play in Heroes of the Storm. Embrace the chaos and enjoy the carnage.
So there you have it! Three Li-Ming builds to dominate the Nexus. Now go out there and unleash some arcane fury! Just remember to blame your teammates when you die (just kidding… mostly). Good luck, and may your missiles always hit!
