Heroes StarCraft support Medic Lt. Morales ability list revealed

Today, Gamespot had the honor of revealing the ability list for the latest support character to come to Heroes of the Storm. StarCraft Medic Lt. Morales specializes in sustained healing with a channeled heal and a damage reduction ability along with a knockback ability for defensive purposes. Her trait allows her to self heal quickly between battles and her Heroic ability choices are between transporting players across the map or buffing the attack  and movement speed of a single ally.

We already have a number of support heroes with burst healing such as Rehgar, Uther, LiLi and (to a limited extent) Kharazim, but it looks like Lt. Morales falls more into the sustained healing camp of Malfurion and Brightwing. We’ll know soon enough when she goes live on the PTR, hopefully tomorrow, and we can get a look at her talent list.

Here’s the full list:

Basic Abilities

• Healing Beam (Q): Heal a single ally every half second for as long as they remain near you. Pressing Q allows you to reselect your target, or you can cancel the channeling by activating your trait. There is no cooldown on this ability.
• Safeguard (W): Reduce the damage the targeted ally takes for three seconds.
• Displacement Grenade (E): Throw out a grenade that explodes as soon as it comes into contact with an enemy, dealing damage and knocking nearby enemies back.

Heroics

• Medivac Dropship (R): Select a spot to travel to, causing you to enter a dropship. Teammates can then join you, and after four seconds, you’ll travel to the chosen area.
• Stim Drone (R): Select an ally to receive a 75 percent increase in attack speed and 25 percent additional movement speed for ten seconds.

Trait

• Caduceus Reactor: After going four seconds without taking damage, regenerate 3 percent of your max health every second.

While we wait for her to appear on the PTR (and the live realms) you can check out her skins in the recently released Heroes In Development video (which also spotlights the StarCraft warrior Artanis) and character concept sketches over at Polygon.
