  • Blizzard (no talent)
  • Chain Lightning - Storm’s Reach
  • Frostwolf Shaman - Lightning Mastery

Other minis and map mechanics

Lady Vespira has a long-range Shadow Splash attack that resembles Chain Lightning (25 range).

In Heroic, Lady Vespira summons four Murloc Tidehunters every 30 seconds (3:30, 3:00, 2:30, and so on).

Lady Vespira:

  • 6500 health
  • Permanent Bloodlust (Heroic)
  • Shadow Splash: 100 elemental damage, bounces to up to 20 enemies with a range of 3 and deals 150 Elemental damage to each, 3.0 seconds attack speed, 25 range, 4 radius
  • Melee (cleave): 300 Physical damage, 2.0 seconds attack speed, 6 range, 2 radius, cannot hit flying minis

General strategy

When you have someone in melee range of Lady Vespira, she will stop casting Shadow Splash and will focus on the melee attack instead. Because the melee attack deals a lot of Physical damage, you want a big Armored tank, and Molten Giant after all the buffs is an excellent candidate.

Send your initial attack to the left to take the Tower and then take the Meeting Stone on the middle right with the same group. As your army pushes up the right side, drop a Quilboar on the left side to tank some of the Shadow Splashes. If you can time it so that you get control of the Meeting Stone on the left with it, all the better.
