Tyrande's Hunter Build focuses on maximizing Hunter's Mark uptime to enable multiple Lunar Flare casts during team fights. It also provides strong healing through the Level 4 and Level 7 Talents, especially when you can attack without being punished.

This build encourages frequent use of Lunar Flare during team fights, enabled by the cooldown reduction from Ranger's Mark. In most fights, place Hunter's Mark on the enemy Tank to heal your frontline while applying pressure. When your frontline engages, use Hunter's Mark and immediately activate Trueshot Aura. Save the refreshed Hunter's Mark to follow up on another target if the original Mark target can no longer be hit.

Tyrande's Ranger Build is completely focused on maximizing her Sentinel's power. While Ranger and Empower add some decent extra damage to Sentinel, Harsh Moonlight will greatly reduce the damage and Movement Speed of up to two enemies. After Level 13, Sentinel can be used either to peel teammates, to engage enemies, or to Slow down fleeing Heroes so your allies can easily finish them.

Since this build revolves around Sentinel, prioritize stacking Lunar Flare early and secure the 20-Hero hits milestone quickly to unlock piercing for the mid and late-game. At Level 20, Commander of Sentinels adds a second Sentinel charge, turning Tyrande into a serious threat once that milestone is reached.

Tyrande's ARAM Build focuses on maximizing Sentinel value. Differently from normal builds, at Level 4, it takes Everlasting Light, as it is the only option that provides reliable healing value without forcing Tyrande to risk positioning to land Basic Attacks. To enable Sentinel's piercing, prioritize stacking Lunar Flare quickly and reach the first 20-Hero hits milestone as soon as possible.

?

Ranger (Level 1) Tyrande

Sentinel width is increased by 25% and deals up to 250% more damage based on distance traveled.

✘︎

Moonlit Arrows (Level 1) Tyrande

Basic Attacks decrease the cooldown of Light of Elune by an additional 0.5 seconds.

✓

Trueshot Aura (Level 1) Tyrande

Activate to grant Tyrande and nearby allied Heroes 40% increased Attack Damage for 5 seconds, and to reset the cooldown of Hunter's Mark.

Ranger greatly increases Sentinel's damage. However, it requires the second milestone of Lunar Flare's Quest (hitting 20 Heroes) to be completed before it becomes impactful. As a result, it is mostly a late-game option, especially when paired with Commander of Sentinels at Level 20.

Moonlit Arrows is the only option in this tier that directly increases your healing frequency. However, unlike the other two options, it is mainly valuable in the early game, as it has limited synergy with other Talents.

Trueshot Aura is a strong Talent because the Hunter's Mark cooldown reset alone provides significant value and has excellent synergy with other Mark-oriented Talents. On top of that, the 40% damage increase for 5 seconds is a major bonus that helps your team quickly burst an immobilized target.

?

Everlasting Light (Level 4) Tyrande

If Light of Elune's second charge is cast on a different target from the first, it heals for 80% more.

✓

Mark of Mending (Level 4) Tyrande

Tyrande's Basic Attacks against Marked targets heal other allied Heroes near the enemy for 4% of their maximum Health.

?

Elune's Chosen (Level 4) Tyrande

• Cooldown: 30 seconds

Activate to make Tyrande's Basic Attacks heal target allied Hero for 175% of the damage dealt. Lasts for 8 seconds.

Everlasting Light is the only option in this tier that improves your healing when you cannot reliably hit enemies with Basic Attacks. However, unlike the other options, it does not increase healing when you are forced to repeatedly heal a single target, which can be crippling when trying to keep an ally alive.

Mark of Mending is excellent with a good frontline, as it constantly heals 4% of maximum Health of your whole team. It also excels in Battlefield of Eternity, in which it can be used at Immortal to quickly heal your whole team. However, if your team has Heroes that demand good single-target healing, Elune's Chosen will still be a better option.

Elune's Chosen is a great Talent, not necessarily because of Tyrande's strong Basic Attacks, but more because of its long duration of 8 seconds and its relatively short cooldown of 30 seconds. The additional single-target healing, over time, really adds up and adds some great utility to Tyrande during team fights.

?

Elune's Gift (Level 7) Tyrande

• Mana: 65
• Cooldown: 13 seconds

Hitting an enemy Hero with Lunar Flare grants 20% Spell Power for 10 seconds.

?

Kaldorei Resistance (Level 7) Tyrande

Light of Elune grants the target 10 Spell Armor for 2 seconds. This effect stacks up to 2 times.

✓

Huntress' Fury (Level 7) Tyrande

Tyrande's Basic Attacks against targets with Hunter's Mark bounce to nearby enemy Heroes.

Passive: Increase Hunter's Mark duration by 1 second, and its cast range by 25%.

Elune's Gift is a good Talent when paired with Ranger. However, it is not recommended for a Lunar Flare build, as that build relies more on Hunter's Mark Talents to enable frequent cooldown resets.

Kaldorei Resistance is a good Talent and can be picked against heavy Mage compositions that exclusively rely on Ability damage.

Huntress' Fury's splash damage is not always noticeable, and it does not interact with Elune's Chosen, but it greatly reduces the cooldown of Light of Elune. This Talent is excellent when paired with Trueshot Aura, as the extra damage and the extra Hunter's Mark increase its efficacy. Furthermore, with this Talent you can use your Hunter's Mark on Minions or Mercenaries close to enemy Heroes, to maximize the Cooldown Reduction of Light of Elune when attacking that marked target.

?

Shadowstalk (Level 10) Tyrande

• Mana: 85
• Cooldown: 90 seconds

Grant all allied Heroes Stealth for 10 seconds and heal them for 380 (+4% per level) Health over 10 seconds. Remaining stationary for at least 1.5 seconds while Stealthed grants Invisible.

✓

Starfall (Level 10) Tyrande

• Mana: 85
• Cooldown: 80 seconds

Deal 92 (+4% per level) damage per second and Slow enemies by 20% in an area. Lasts 6 seconds.

In this section we discuss when and why to pick a given Heroic Ability. If you want to read how they work in detail and/or you are looking for some tips on how to use them, check them out on the Abilities and Strategy page.

Shadowstalk is a strong Heroic Ability for two major reasons. Firstly, it enhances Tyrande's and her allies' escape capabilities significantly. Secondly, it allows experienced players and teams to execute deadly ambushes and ganks on enemy Heroes.

Starfall provides Tyrande with a strong zoning tool. Being able to Slow and damage multiple enemies at the same time for 8 seconds is especially useful when fighting over static Objectives such as Temples or Tributes. Thus, we recommend casting Starfall on narrow terrain and choke points in order to make it harder for the enemy to escape. Keep in mind that every hit of Starfall also lowers the cooldown of Light of Elune, which can drastically increase Tyrande's healing output. It is excellent against heavy melee compositions as well.

✘︎

Quickening Blessing (Level 13) Tyrande

Gain 5% Movement Speed. Light of Elune increases the target's Movement Speed by 20% for 3 seconds.

?

Harsh Moonlight (Level 13) Tyrande

Sentinel Slows enemies hit by 35% and reduces their damage dealt by 35% for 3 seconds.

✓

Ranger's Mark (Level 13) Tyrande

Basic Attacks reduce the cooldown of Hunter's Mark by 2 second. Basic Attacks against marked targets reduce the cooldown of Lunar Flare by 4 seconds.

Quickening Blessing is a solid Talent, but it is not recommended because the other options are more impactful for their respective builds. Harsh Moonlight is key for a Sentinel build, while Ranger's Mark is the core pick for a Hunter's Mark build.

Harsh Moonlight is a strong Talent that can be used to reduce a Hero's damage by a significant amount. However, it can also be used offensively since it Slows the target, allowing your team to chase it down or follow up with crowd control.

Ranger's Mark is an excellent Talent when paired with Trueshot Aura, as it significantly boosts Tyrande's damage, crowd control potential, and Lunar Flare Quest completion speed. However, do not force risky positioning just to get Lunar Flare resets, as overstepping can lead to unnecessary deaths.

✓

Celestial Attunement (Level 16) Tyrande

Light of Elune removes Stuns, Silences, and Slows from its target.

?

Empower (Level 16) Tyrande

Reduce Sentinel's cooldown by 3 seconds. Heroes hit by Sentinel takes bonus damage equal to 6% of their maximum Health.

?

Darnassian Archery (Level 16) Tyrande

Basic Attacks against enemy Heroes grant a stacking 12% increased Attack Damage bonus for 4 seconds.

Celestial Attunement allows Tyrande to counter crowd control efficiently, as it removes Stuns, Slows, and Silences (including Taunt and Fear). This makes it valuable against Heroes such as Varian and Muradin. However, it does not cleanse Roots or Blinds. If the enemy team has few Stuns, Slows, or Silences, another Talent is usually better.

Empower is a solid Talent. The cooldown reduction comes in handy, while the additional percent-based damage adds a bit of extra damage, which is always appreciated. Go for it if enemies do not have crowd controls for you to worry about.

Darnassian Archery's damage amplification is very noticeable after a few stacks. However, if you want more reliable output, Empower usually offers more consistent value through its flat damage and cooldown reduction.

?

Eyes of the Huntress (Level 20) Tyrande

Shadowstalk reveals all enemy Heroes for 10 seconds and heals for 75% more.

✓

Celestial Wrath (Level 20) Tyrande

Increase the Slow of Starfall to 60% and cause it to apply Hunter's Mark to enemy Heroes while inside of its area of effect.

?

Commander of Sentinels (Level 20) Tyrande

Sentinel gains a 2nd charge.

?

Iceblade Arrows (Level 20) Tyrande

Increase Attack Speed by 20%. Basic Attacks against enemy Heroes reduce their damage dealt by 8% for 2 seconds. This effect stacks up to 5 times.

Eyes of the Huntress is a valuable Talent in games where Tyrande is not able to attack frequently, as it grants good healing regardless of the situation.

Celestial Wrath is a powerful upgrade to Starfall against most compositions. It applies free Hunter's Marks, making it an excellent choice with other Mark-oriented Talents. It is especially effective into low-mobility teams, as the added Slow makes Lunar Flare hits more reliable. If the enemy team is very mobile, the other options are usually better.

Commander of Sentinels is an excellent Talent, but it is not always the best pick. It becomes impactful only after you complete the second milestone of Lunar Flare's Quest (hitting 20 Heroes). It also requires some Sentinel Talents, such as Empower or Harsh Moonlight, to provide consistent value.

Iceblade Arrows is a decent Talent against heavy mobility Heroes which will likely dive your teammates, such as Genji or Greymane. With it, you can greatly reduce their effectiveness, since you will not be able to retreat against them.
