Whitemane Build Guide “Burn in the Light!”

Whitemane is a Healer who can heal her allies with Zeal by damaging her enemies. She is capable of trading damage favourably against most Heroes, and must do so in order to maximise her healing. If she is able to consistently deal damage, she can generate immense healing for her team.

• 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.
• Use Inquisition immediately after Searing Lash to maximise your damage output.
• Cast Searing Lash when you can hit enemy Heroes, preferably when they are under crowd control effects that impair their movements.
• Scarlet Aegis can be used during team fights to apply Zeal to multiple allied Heroes without having to pay Desperation cost, given they are in range.
• Divine Reckoning should be preferably used as a follow-up to allied crowd control effects that can keep enemy Heroes in place.
• Make sure to apply Zeal to allied Heroes before using your Abilities to deal damage.
• Rely on Clemency when you need to sustain your team with out-of-combat healing: use Desperate Plea, use Clemency to remove Desperation, use Desperate Plea again.

Whitemane excels at relatively quick team fights, during which she can get value from her burst healing and have time to go back for restoring her Mana. Among her Talents, she has various tools to save teammates from enemy Heroes who hard engage, leading the opponents to expose for getting a kill and then suddenly deny it.

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 weak macro. Although Whitemane has clearly defined weaknesses, she can be powerful in many team compositions, given they have a strong frontline and plenty of waveclear.
