Other minis and map mechanics

Hezrul Bloodmark has a large army at the top of the map. When you kill three Bloodmark Lieutenants (Normal) or two Bloodmark Lieutenants (Heroic), he and his army will attack. If you kill any army members before the attack has begun, they will respawn in 20 seconds.

Hezrul Bloodmark:

  • 6240 health (Normal: 5200 health)
  • Weapon (big cleave): 480 Physical damage, 3.5 seconds attack speed, 2 range, 160 degrees arc, 4.5 radius (Normal: 400 damage)

Bloodmark Lieutenant:

  • 1600 health
  • Cleave: 180 Physical damage, 2.2 seconds attack speed, 160 degrees arc, 4.5 radius, cannot hit flying minis

General strategy

Build a big deathball style army that slowly makes its way towards Hezrul. As Hezrul’s counterattack begins, drop a Living Bomb on its army and watch most of them evaporate instantly. The remainders can be cleaned up by your army.
