Kael'thas Sunstrider

*"You may not care for your subjects, but I care for mine. I have lost far, far too much in dealing with humans. I stand only for the elves now - for the sin'dorei. The children of the blood."*
-- Kael'thas Sunstrider

## Introduction

Prince **Kael'thas Sunstrider**, son of Anasterian Sunstrider, is the last remaining heir to the throne of Quel'thalas. He has renamed his people the Blood Elves, in honor for their slaugtered kin. Although he fought alongside the Alliance of Lordaeron, Garithos' racism and lack of military intellect forced Kael'thas to ally the Naga. Learning this, Garithos sentenced Kael'thas and all his army to death. However, Lady Vashj rescued him and his people in time, and led them to Outland, where Illidan Stormrage taught them to feed off of demons to sate their magical addiction.

### Siphon Mana *(E)*

 **Lv. Required**: None

Kael'thas leeches mana from an enemy unit, or transfers mana to an allied unit.

**Notes:**

* Use this spell to enable Flamestrike spams.
* Use this spell on heroes that have Wind Walk, it will surprise them when they can't escape due to their lack on mana.
* Use this to negate powerful healing from heroes like Benedictus, or Paladins.
* Be careful when using this spell, the blue magic line is easily traceable back to Kael'thas.

### Phoenix

 **Lv. Required**: 10

Summons a fiery Phoenix that burns with such a intensity that it damages itself and nearby enemy units. When the phoenix dies, an Egg will appear. After a few seconds, a new Phoenix will be reborn from the Egg.

* The mana cost is extremely high, make sure you have Mana Siphon is you plan on using this spell.
* Flamestrike is still better than this spell, the Phoenixes are easily killed.
* Benefits from upgrades.
* Phoenixes deal magic damage: use their attacks on banished targets.

## Events and Others

* In game, Kael'thas is a powerful hero capable of dealing large AOE damage with Flamestrike, and draining enemy heroes of their mana, an extremly useful skill. He begins in the Dalaran Dungeons along with a small group of Blood Elves. If you choose, you can drop an item near the Mystical Portal, which will cause it to activate for 60 seconds, allowing you to escape the undead and flee to the Netherstorm. If you do this, it is reccomended you ally the Fel Horde as they will crush your meager forces very quickly.
* Kael'thas appears alongside a group of Blood Elves within Dalaran's Dungeons, following the destruction of Silvermoon Palace.
* He starts with an item that activates a Mystical Portal, causing it to lead to the Netherstorm in Outland.
