More Tyrande guides
This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.
Overview
In Heroes of the Storm there are no items: Tyrande picks one talent at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 20. This guide goes through every tier. Your big moments are level 10, when you pick Shadowstalk or Starfall, and level 20, when the heroic gets its upgrade.
Strengths
- Heals itself, which keeps it in lane longer.
- Heals allies: keeps the team in fights.
- Strong gank potential around the map.
Weaknesses
- No escape tools: vulnerable when divers reach it.
- First target for the enemy dive.

- Quest talents pay off only if you complete them early; skip them if you're not sure.
- A talent that upgrades an ability you rarely use is worth less than it looks.
- Talents unlock for the whole team at the same level: watch the enemy's level 10 too.
