Whitemane's Inquisition Build takes Talents to increase the defensive and offensive effectiveness of Inquisition by lowering its cooldown via Pity the Frail at Level 1, reducing the damage done by its target thanks to Subjugation at Level 13, and doubling its effectiveness while also reducing the Armor of enemy Heroes being hit with the help of Shared Punishment at Level 16.

Whitemane synergizes with

Whitemane does not clear Minion waves effectively. She has strong synergy with Heroes who excel at PvE.

Whitemane is countered by

Whitemane has very limited mobility, and must remain within the threat range of enemies in order to deal damage to heal her allies. She will struggle against Heroes who can displace her, as she lacks any kind of escape once caught. One of Whitemane's strengths is her ability to trade damage effectively; Heroes who can deal damage to her without trading may be difficult for her to adapt to. Additionally, Heroes who can significantly reduce or prevent healing received can greatly reduce the effectiveness of Zeal during teamfights.

Whitemane's weaker maps

Whitemane has extremely poor waveclear and PvE. She is not strong on any specific map, because her strengths have no interaction with the maps. Her success is more dependent on team compositions than it is the map being played. Due to her lack of PvE damage, she will struggle to be useful while defending against map objectives that spawn units.

• Make sure to apply Zeal to damaged allies before dealing damage.
• Desperate Plea is the only Ability in Whitemane's kit that has a Mana cost, but you have to manage your Mana wisely because of the Desperation mechanic.
• Cast Inquisition immediately after Searing Lash to maximise your DPS.
• Cast Searing Lash whenever it is available and it is safe to do so.
• Scarlet Aegis can be used during team fights to apply Zeal to allies without a Desperation cost.

Whitemane needs to be able to deal damage in order to heal optimally, so a strong frontline is necessary for her to reach peak performance. Her complete lack of waveclear is another weakness that will limit the team compositions she can fit into. She must have allies who can generate enough map pressure to make up for her lack of environmental interaction. Although Whitemane has clearly defined weaknesses, she can be powerful on teams that have a strong frontline and plenty of waveclear.
