Useful Strategies and Tips

Leap of Faith has a large cooldown, so use it wisely. This skill will be able to save your ally from the most desperate situations. Ideal targets would be allies with control effects (Stunned or Rooted), with low-hp or cut off from your team by various controls or terrain.

Flash Heal is an excellent healing skill. Low mana cost and almost no cooldown allows you to heal a huge amount of health in teamfights.

Divine Star is a key AoE healing skill. Keep in mind correct positioning to maximize damage and healing output.

Chastise is suitable for as melee Assasins counter and as a continuation of CC chains, since it will be quite difficult to catch someone due to the low speed of the projectile.

Holy Word: Salvation will be able to save your entire team and heal a good portion of health. Keep in mind that controls such as Stuns, Silences, or Knockbacks will interrupt Anduin’s heroic ability.

Lightbomb. This skill works well with engaging Tank or Bruiser Heroes in your team. Good damage and AoE control will help to catch the enemy by surprise.
