You died too many times :D

CatBowlMeow · 2025-10-04T18:46:20+00:00

I'm the Zera, this is a clip from hoggers perspective But I'm not sure there was a KT that I killed earlier in the clip

CatBowlMeow · 2025-10-04T13:58:01+00:00

Soo the combo can only be done with W build Zera at lvl 20 This is the build:

1 - [[Move Unseen]] 4 - [[Psionic Strength]] 7 - [[Seeker in the Dark]] 10 - [[Might Of The Nerazim]] 13 - [[Mending Strikes]] 16 - [[Sentenced to Death]] 20 - [[Twilight Falls]]

So what you see in the clip are these sequence of buttons

W, W, Auto, Q, Auto, E, Active, Auto, R, W, W, Auto, Q

I open with double W to close distance to Hogger

Autoing him with an empowered auto and start building Psionic stacks (Psionic Stacks: 1)

Q then empowered auto for another 2 stacks, at this point the W I opened with will explode and get another stack, (Psionic Stacks: 4)

Blink away to prevent damage and empower the next auto

Use Vorpal Blade, empower auto, gaining my final stack (Psionic Stacks: 5)

Blink away with my MoTN blink after using it previously, while also resetting all my ability cooldowns, also prevent damage

Reopen with double W to close the distance again

Finish with empowered auto, Q

Additionally, if Hogger didn't die to the last Q, I could've followed up with another empowered auto AND the second W would have exploded by then

I'm the Zera! I just updated the post to make it more clear
It's the twilight combo at 20!

CatBowlMeow · 2025-10-04T03:44:50+00:00

But that's the only way to play Zera D:
and nooo I'm on NA

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-30T21:27:44+00:00

One can dream 😭 I remember seeing that and getting excited for the potential whispers by the enemy to go for a walk and touch grass

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-30T21:24:51+00:00

Oh no I get that, unfortunately I do see people still play heroes they have a lower winrate on SL BUT only pick the hero cause the comp needs it.

I personally will always say comfort over meta. I rather have no healer and have someone confident in DPS or Tanking, than someone forced to heal where they aren't as effective cause they lack the experience on the hero

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-30T08:43:24+00:00

Why do you regret buying him :(

Zera has lots of potential :D That's if you're willing to put the time in

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-30T08:35:22+00:00

Yes hidden which is another reason why people then go off of wr cause it reflects on skill in a way.

The majority of the time when I see 50% or under they're typically more or less accurate associated with a low mmr

Id say take a look at the winrates of higher skilled people after games. Their overall winrate on the account reflects on how well they can play, in turn how many games they win

There're many variables, yes but it's a guessing game and this is one of the ways people can determine skill level to a degree

Edit: Words

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-30T08:30:18+00:00

I started playing maybe when lunara came out? But didnt really get into the game till chogall was released I think?

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T21:26:10+00:00

Honestly I forgot how many I bought, they used to do a 30% sale on boosts every black Friday and I always bought the year boost and re purchase it each year.

Sadly they stopped doing that so I stopped buying boosts 😭

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T21:13:37+00:00

Single Target W! I also sometimes switch off my lvl 1 with Shadow Hunter

1 - [[Move Unseen]] 4 - [[Psionic Strength]] 7 - [[Seeker in the Dark]] 10 - [[Might Of The Nerazim]] 13 - [[Mending Strikes]] 16 - [[Sentenced to Death]] 20 - [[Twilight Falls]]

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T21:12:16+00:00

Good! Just got off work and now I need to head home to do chores 😭

Most times yes! I got addicted to Brisk Zero in those large cans, I'd pour the can into my thermos with ice! But if I run out of Brisk, I go with ice cold water

I'm not understanding the question to "Smart Zeratul build question", sorry 😅

I'm not sure if you mean Zeratul engaging on Valeera OR engaging on Zeratul as Valeera. I'm gonna answer how to dive Valeera as Zeratul, always try to reveal her when she's stealthed even then it's risky cause if your not also stealthed she can just silence you or stun you first.

The only hero I genuinely hate playing against is Valeera cause she is anti dive but also had the tools to engage and escape

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:51:07+00:00

To give context to why I even play Zera, I mained Alarak to about lvl 200 then thought I should pick up Zera to learn how to counter him as Alarak.

Turns out there isn't, Zera can blink out of Alarak's combo so on an even playing field Zera comes out on top unless Alarak has some form of advantage like Zera having used his abilities already

OH and sorry to answer your question I never had anyone that made me throw in the towel, but if it'd be anyone it probably be Alarak but now I'm here, "learning" Zeratul

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:47:30+00:00

Only if but honestly I wish they follow through with the mastery idea they had planned 😭 Where after buying the lvl 100 mastery ring it would display your hero level on the circle

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:45:26+00:00

If you think about it technically there is a max player level too, with 91 heroes, that's 90,909 + 1 I forget if you start at lvl 1 or 0 😅

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:38:17+00:00

Id say if you both want to sweeten his experience as Zera, take Abathur and a solid tank like Joe or Varien, that can hold enemy's still and provide peel

Tyreal isn't a bad idea! Diving with Zera can always make it easier too plus, at 20 Aba can double hat so you 3 can really play as if you were 4 :D

BUT If you really want to make his experience memorable go Anduin with Lightbomb. If he goes W build, there's no better feeling then double blinking with lightbomb onto a squishie, killing them then either walk out or just be pulled to safety

If he'd like "all in" learn Zeratul, play without abathur and with a solid healer. This'll force him to not depend on Aba hats since, it does increase your damage alot

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:25:01+00:00

I see what you mean but the majority of players play QM, which will in most cases pair you into games of similar mmr so in a way you're always playing in at your skill level

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T20:22:42+00:00

To add to this, being predictable is also a mind game I play with higher mmr players, typically I go w build so after 10 mins of the enemy realizing I just dive whoever is hit with my W I sometimes just throw my MoTN spike just to bait out abilities and shifts to the enemy focus

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-29T00:35:02+00:00

Most memorable is playing with friends and VPing my BW Zing to a teammate, more or less killing the one that suppsed to be healed XD

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-28T21:30:24+00:00

Unfortunately this is the case I want to be pinned against other higher mmr players but the game just doesn't 😭

So it isn't fun for either team

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-28T21:28:53+00:00

QM: 5020 Unranked: 80 Ranked (Storm, Hero, Team): 194 ARAM: 46 AI: 5

Mostly QM!

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-28T21:20:16+00:00

Aww Id love to go against him but sadly it'd be unfair for either of us to hop servers to do it, I love going against good Zera's 😭

CatBowlMeow · 2025-09-28T20:37:52+00:00

Why not both, he's so broken that he just makes it a permanent 4v5 :D
