The Demon Witch is a strong offensive spellcaster with excellent disabling capabilities. Although his primary attack spell, Impale, deals relatively low damage, it has a long stun at high levels and can hit multiple targets quite easily. The low spell damage of Impale is more than compensated for by Lion's lethal Finger of Death ability, which deals very high damage to a single enemy target. Finger of Death is an excellent finishing spell for injured enemies. Although Impale alone is a good disabling spell, the Demon Witch has a second strong disable: Voodoo. Voodoo can transform an enemy hero into a critter for a few seconds, allowing Lion and his allies time to finish them off. Lion's spells all cost quite a bit of mana, but he can quickly regain it using Mana Drain. This spell is effective for draining an enemy hero's mana while they are disabled or giving Lion a quick mana boost from an enemy Necromancer or Druid of the Talon creep. This hero is a good choice for newer players, but at the same time he is fragile and must stay on the offensive to emerge victorious.
A renegade wizard who delved deeper in studying demonic arts, this old aged archmagus was sentenced to damnation by the Dalaran council. As a last resort of escaping death, he performed a forbidden ritual and sold his soul to Archimonde's bidding. Without trace of compassion and with a twisted mind, he seeks retribution to his comrades. He commands earth to stagger those who hinders his path with sharp spikes or siphons their will out. Never hesitating to transmogrify others to impunity nor doubtful of ripping his enemy inward out with his fatal touch, Lion like a predator loves doing it all over again.
