Dragon Shire | Map types and descriptions of maps Heroes of the Storm Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Dragon Shire is the second available battleground. The objective is to take control of two shrines - at the top and bottom of the map.

To gain control over a shrine, get close to it and wait until progress bar is full. Remember that the enemies can conquer it the same way.

When one of the teams is in control of two shrines, they can summon the Dragon Knight that will substitute one of heroes. To do it, get close to the statue, press RMB and wait for a while.

When you free the Dragon Knight, he'll take place of your hero.

As this character, the player gets a completely new skills with which they can wreak havoc on the enemy. The dragon has a lot of health and strength so he's perfect for conquering the enemy base. In the lower right corner, you can see his health and time left until he disappears. When the enemies kill him or the time is over, the Dragon will explode and the hero will appear again.

Mercenaries

There are Mercenary camps on this battleground as well.

Giants

Giants are the easiest to kill. They throw rocks from a distance, so they're perfect for pushing the line.

Knights

Knights are much more difficult, there are bigger groups of them and they use melee attacks. They're quite strong, so enemy might focus on them for a while. At the bottom of the map you can encounter the most difficult enemy - a giant golem who's a Boss here. Defeating it takes time and you should call support to make it faster.

Help

You have to focus on several things at a time: guarding two shrines (one at the top, one at the bottom) so you should tell your allies to go to each lane in 2/1/2 formation. After conquering two shrines, one hero should stay close to the statue to summon the Dragon Knight. When you manage to do it, get close to each other and try to conquer the enemy base. Dragon Knight is very strong so he can focus enemy fire on himself. If the enemy summons the Dragon Knight, try to defeat him as soon as possible.
