Yrel is a melee Bruiser hero from the Warcraft universe. She is well suited to almost any team composition due to her versatile skill set. She can both initiate teamfights and successfully defend her team from enemy Assasins. Having her own small healing, she is able to stay in battle even without the support of an allied healer. Her Trait gives her the ability to charge up Basic Abilities for increasing their effectiveness, which gives her more options in combat.

Useful Strategies and Tips
Divine Purpose has a short cooldown and it’s important to use it correctly.
Vindication this skill is useful not only for healing and simultaneously damaging enemies, but also as a waveclear ability. Charging up will significantly increase damage and health regeneration.
The Righteous Hammer can also be used offensively and defensively ways. Fully charged, he will additionally stun for a short time, which will help interrupt the enemy cast.
Avenging Wrath is a great ability to initiate a battle. Charged up it significantly increases the range, but if you need to get away from the pursuit, it’s still better not to risk it and use it without charging or with Divine Purpose. After all, opponents can knock down the cast, and cancel this ability.
Ardent Defender this skill makes Yrel Invulnerable, while healing it for half the damage it takes. This allows her to counter the enemy burst and at the same time stay in the teamfight.
Sacred Ground. This feat is hard to advise as it limits Yrel, forcing her to fight within the radius of this feat. Moreover, enemy knockbacks can interrupt its effect.
