Malfurion Build Guide “Nature will rise against you!”

Malfurion is a ranged Healer that specialises in highly efficient healing-over-time and strong debuffs. When paired with Heroes that can properly protect him and cover his damage deficiency, his healing is a natural way to sway any extensive battle in his favour.

• Innervate on Mana-hungry Heroes, notably, casters such as Kael'thas or Jaina, who can not function without Mana.
• Keep Regrowth on multiple high-priority Heroes, even if they are at full Health.
• Moonfire is useful for quickly checking bushes, dismounting or revealing opponents, and clearing Zagara's Creep Tumors.
• Entangling Roots is much easier to land on targets that have already been crowd controlled.
• Keep your Tranquility for heated team fights, where several teammates may require healing.
• Twilight Dream is an excellent counter-initiating tool, especially against multiple melee Heroes.

Malfurion's very distinct Abilities make him a versatile Healer. Although he lacks damage, he has several tools at his disposal that make him useful during all stages of the game. His Trait, Innervate, has the unique ability to provide an allied Hero with additional Mana. Entangling Roots is one of the game's strongest follow-up crowd control Abilities around, and Moonfire is a cheap and reliable poke that temporarily reveals Stealthed entities.

Malfurion's main healing Abilities, Regrowth and Tranquility, have high raw healing outputs to make up for the fact that they do not instantly heal. Moonfire can situationally provide some burst healing, though this depends directly on the Malfurion Player's skill level. This makes Malfurion a natural counter to team compositions that lack single-target burst damage. He is thus commonly picked against teams that run two or fewer Assassins, or as part of a composition that is resilient enough to survive large amounts of upfront burst damage.
