The leader of the goblin city of Ratchet, Gazlowe designed the foundations for the orcish and Horde capital of Ogrimmar. Being a goblin, one of his greatest natures is tinkering and designing, inventions and creations that always don't tend to be 100% safe.\\
\\
Gazlowe is a Melee Assassin hero, representing the Goblin Tinker hero unit from ''Warcraft III'', who excels at capturing mercenaries and guarding a location. His trait, ''Salvager'', allows him to collect Scrap from destroyed enemy structures and his own turrets, restoring mana and reducing his cooldowns. He can also activate his trait to instantly dismantle a ''Rock-It! Turret'' to obtain Scrap. His ''Rock-It! Turret'' allows him to place a stationary turret in a targeted location and can store up to two charges. ''Deth Lazor'' has him stand still and charge a laser beam that increases in power, length, and width the longer he charges it. ''Xplodium Charge'' places a bomb with a 2.5-second delay that explodes to deal damage and stun enemies caught in the blast radius. Also, Gazlowe has a fourth ability called ''Focus Turrets!'', which makes his ''Rock-It! Turrets'' focus on a single target if possible.\\
\\
His first Heroic is ''Robo-Goblin'', which passively increases his Basic Attack damage by 100% and can be activated to increase his movement speed and Armor for a few seconds. His second Heroic is ''Grav-O-Bomb 3000'', which pulls in enemies after a 2-second delay, dealing heavy damage.\\
\\
His current skins are Chief Engineer Gazlowe, [[LittleGreenMen Mad Martian Gazlowe]], [[RepulsiveRingmaster Big Top Gazlowe]], and [[BrownBagMask Paper Bag Gazlowe]].

* BoringButPractical: His ''Robo-Goblin'' heroic may not be that astounding, but in maps where mercenaries, especially boss camps, are easily accessible, this heroic is definitely useful, and the bonus damage isn't bad for smacking around enemy heroes either.
* BrownBagMask: His Hallow's End "costume" is a brown bag over his robot's head with something (which changes depending on the tint) drawn on it.
* ChainsawGood: More like Sawblade Good when he takes his ''Robo-Goblin'' heroic, but the feel is definitely there. Taking the heroic permanently replaces the clamps on his robot's arms with sawblades.
* CooldownManipulation: His ''Salvager'' trait allows him to reduce the cooldown of his abilities each time he gathers Scrap from his destroyed ''Rock-It! Turrets'' or from destroyed enemy structures. Note that this trait is also applied to his ''Heroics''.
* CoolHat: His trucker hat, as seen in his art. The hat itself was actually removed from his model some point during the alpha, however (probably due to a trucker being a little too much AnachronismStew for Warcraft).
* CripplingOverspecialization: Gazlowe excels at sieging with his wave-clear and merc-capturing ability... and that's about it. He doesn't quite do enough damage to serve as a main Assassin, his nukes are easily dodgeable, his survivability is mediocre at best, and his mobility is virtually non-existent, making him relatively weak against actual heroes.

The reworked version retains ''Overgrowth'', but its other abilities are instead replaced by the Bone Golem's ''Mega Smash''.

* HitAndRunTactics: ''Overgrowth'' originally dealt heavy damage to mercenaries, minions and structures by itself, while the Terror also could hit hard, so the common tactic was to plant an ''Overgrowth'' on the structures, then run away with ''Sprint'' to another lane to pressure two lanes. As this cat-and-mouse game quickly got old and didn't encourage team fights, Blizzard eventually changed ''Overgrowth'' to force the Terror to hit the structures affected by ''Overgrowth'' in order to siege.

\\
Hailed as the greatest hero of all protoss, Tassadar was once an Executor of the Templar, until he defied an order to sacrifice the Terrans to the zerg swarm. He was branded as a traitor and hunted down, where the Protoss Conclave found him striking an alliance with James Raynor. Furthermore, Tassadar allied himself with the banished Dark Templar before returning to Aiur, further enraging the Conclave as they demanded his execution. Tassadar was about to face judgment until his friends broke him out and it was proven that the Dark Templar he brought were vital in destroying Zerg Cerebrates.\\
\\
In the final hour, Tassadar piloted his Carrier ''Gantrithor'' and mounted one final defense against the Overmind, allying with the Terran forces under Raynor - even the Conclave admitted that he was their final hope. The Overmind proved to be too powerful, so Tassadar made the ultimate sacrifice by overloading himself within his vessel. The ensuing energy shower obliterated the Overmind, weakening the zerg's grip on Aiur and allowing the Protoss to escape to Shakuras. Tassadar's heroism was comparable to Adun, and to this day many protoss live by the battlecry "En Taro Tassadar".\\
\\
Tassadar is a ranged Support hero who provides scouting, shields, and battlefield control. His basic attack is a ''Distortion Beam'' that slows enemies hit by 20%, and his trait, ''Oracle'', increases his sight range and reveals invisible enemies in the radius when activated. His first ability, ''Plasma Shield'', places a large shield on a target that also grants a small amount of lifesteal on basic attacks. His primary offensive ability is ''Psionic Storm'', an AreaOfEffect attack that deals increasing damage each time it hits. ''Dimensional Shift'' acts as his emergency button, turning him invisible, invincible, and intangible for a short period of time.\\
\\
His first Heroic is ''Archon'', which grants him a ''Plasma Shield'', resets the cooldown of ''Dimensional Shift'', and replaces his basic attack with a powerful energy blast for the duration. His second Heroic, ''Force Wall'', creates an impassable barrier, and passively increases the slow of ''Distortion Beam''.\\
\\
His current skins are Executor Tassadar, [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Crypt King Tassadar]], and [[TransformingMecha Mecha Tassadar]].

* BarrierWarrior:
** Instead of healing, he places Plasma Shield as a pseudo-heal. This is consistent with the ''Starcraft'' universe as a whole; where Terran Medics and Medivacs have powerful single-target healing (like Lt. Morales) and the Zerg specialize at simply regenerating FromASingleCell (like Stukov), Protoss cannot heal Hit Point damage but can always restore Shields. To add just a bit of utility, Tassadar's shield bubbles give the target Lifesteal.
** Tassadar's ''Force Wall'' can block off escapees or split the enemy team.
* BerserkButton: Kaijo Diablo is one for Mecha Tassadar.
* BilingualBonus: Which also counts as MythologyGag. His quote when preparing for battle (see above), if translated into the Protoss tongue of Khalani, is ''"Khassar de templari"''. This is what Protoss High Templar units, such as Tassadar himself, say when they spawn.
* BlingOfWar: His Executor skin pimps out his armor.
* CherryTapping: Tassadar's Disruption Beam deals the least damage per attack of any hero in the game, and even with an attack rate of 4 hits per second, his physical damage output is only slightly better than ''Abathur'' without talents. While the ranged slow is helpful, don't expect to get many kills with it.
* CombatMedic:
** Although the Medic part is downplayed due to his relative lack of heals, he is a very powerful offensive[=/=]teamfight support. And if he uses his SuperMode, he can put up a surprising amount of damage too.
** While his lack of direct healing is annoying, it's also very flavorful. In ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', Terrans excel at reconstituting HP on a single target, Zerg can regenerate FromASingleCell, and the Protoss can restore their DeflectorShields but not restore HP at all. This is exactly how Morales, Stukov and Tassadar work.
* CompositeCharacter: Though ostensibly a High Templar as evidenced by his Psionic Storm and Archon morph, Tassadar also has modified abilities from the ''Starcraft II'' Sentry unit: the terrain-blocking Force Field (leveled up into Force Wall), the Guardian Shield ability to put protective force fields around allies, and an extremely weak "noodle beam" attack (as Creator/HuskyStarcraft calls it).
* DarkIsNotEvil: In the AlternateUniverse which Zeratul's High Templar skin is from, Tassadar took his place as the benevolent Dark Templar who showed him the ways of the Void.
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his starting quotes to an ally Kerrigan has a rather sarcastic one-liner on his part.
--> '''Kerrigan:''' I am not your enemy, Tassadar. Things have changed.\\
'''Tassadar:''' Yes, you radiate a purple glow now. How very different.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Post-rework, Tassadar's basic attack now hits very quickly for very light amounts of damage; incidentally this makes it great for breaking chests on Blackheart's Bay.
* DefogOfWar: ''Oracle'' temporarily increases Tassadar's vision range and lets him see over terrain.
* FrickinLaserBeams: Post-rework, he now has the Distortion Beam as his default basic attack, though now it acts more like how you'd expect a laser attack to work, rapidly dealing damage much like Zarya's attack.
* TheGoodKing: One of his alt skins makes him Pharaoh Ta-sadar, the ruler of Luxoria, who apparently allowed his realm to be drawn into the Nexus to save it from the [[ScaryScorpions Scorpid Swarm]], a counterpart to [[HordeOfAlienLocusts the Zerg]].
* HumbleHero: "En Taro Tassadar" [[note]]"In honor of Tassadar" in Khalani[[/note]] become a favorite phrase for Protoss after his death, but Tassadar will always say "En Taro Adun".[[labelnote:From the lore...]]Adun was a revered warrior who sacrificed himself to protect the first of the Dark Templar from extermination at the hands of the Khalai protoss and was the first to achieve being able to wield both [[YinYangBomb void and khala energies in tandem]]. Up until the main storyline, the Khalai were told that Adun drove off the Dark Templar and saved their people, but have since discovered the truth.[[/labelnote]] Unless [[StopPokingMe he's poked a lot]], where he'll say "En Taro... me!"
* JackOfAllStats: He's categorized as Support, but his wide variety of skills allow him to fulfill multiple roles. He has great waveclear from ''Psionic Storm'', and can temporarily fulfill Warrior[=/=]Assassin role with ''Archon'' heroic and some supplementary talents. Ironically, actual healing is the one thing he's ''not'' good at.
* LightIsGood: Tassadar was the BigGood of the first ''Starcraft'' game, and wears golden armour fit for a paladin.
* MagikarpPower: Tassadar's level 1 talents were the first quests in the game with two completion milestones. Once he completes a quest halfway, he receives one bonus, with a second bonus granted when he completes it all the way, making him increasingly powerful as the game goes on. (Nowadays there are heroes who have ''three'' milestones.)
* {{Mecha}}: One of his alternate skins, complete with a [[TransformingMecha jet mode]] mount, new attack animations, and custom voice files full of shout-outs. Technically it's a HumongousMecha from the same {{Kaiju}} universe as Anub'arak's Cyb'arak and Diablo's Kaijo skins, but [[UnitsNotToScale you wouldn't know that.]]
-->'''Tassadar:''' [[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Until all are united!]]\\
'''Tassadar:''' [[Film/PacificRim Apocalypse: Cancelled!]]
* MindRape: ''Psionic Storm,'' if we follow Starcraft's lore. His Mecha skin uses a MacrossMissileMassacre.
* MythologyGag: In his StopPokingMe lines he makes references to units seen in the original ''VideoGame/StarCraftI'' that didn't return to ''VideoGame/StarCraftII''[[note]]Until the ''Legacy of the Void'' campaign at least[[/note]] and expresses confusion as to what a Void Ray is.[[note]]The protoss did not have Void Rays in ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', while Tassadar was still alive[[/note]]
* NonEntityGeneral: He he still refers to the player as Executor, just like in ''VideoGame/StarCraftI''.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Mecha Tassadar comments that his designer named him after the video game character, and as a robot who just happens to share Tassadar's name he has no personal connections either way to Raynor and Zeratul or Kerrigan and the Zerg, though he comments that Zeratul seems familiar to him for some reason. Also, he doesn't understand Khalani.
* PowerFloats: Levitates instead of walking. Curiously, he still rides a horse as mount.
* PsychicRadar: His ''Oracle'' ability, which can be upgraded to 15 sec cooldown. He can utterly shut down stealth heroes if timed right.
* RuleOfCool: In-universe. Mecha Tassadar's secondary function is, "Looking really damn cool!"
* ShockAndAwe: ''Psionic Storm'' appears this way, as do his basic attacks in ''Archon'' form.
* SuperMode: Can turn into an [[EnergyBeing Archon]] as one of his heroics. At level 20, he can take a talent to stay in Archon form indefinitely, so long as he keeps attacking.
* TookALevelInBadass: He was always a badass, but he gets a special mention in this game. Normally, forming an Archon is a DangerousForbiddenTechnique that requires two High or Dark Templar to undergo a permanent FusionDance; the two [[HeroicRROD rarely last long]]. That Tassadar can form one ''solo'' and revert at will is impressive, the mythical Twilight Archon notwithstanding.
* TrueSight: While ''Oracle'' is active, Tassadar gains increased vision range, unobstructed vision, and can see invisible heroes as well as identify illusions (such as the ones created by Nova and Samuro).
