{{Hero infobox | datapage = Data:Jaina | image = [[File:JainaArt.jpg|240px|alt=Jaina]] ''"I'm here to help!"'' }} ''' Jaina Proudmoore''', the Archmage, is a [[Ranged Assassin|Ranged Assassin Hero]] from the ''[[Warcraft]]'' universe.<ref>2013-11-09, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ETowT2Rhr8 Heroes Skin Showcase - Heroes of the Storm - Blizzcon 2013]. ''YouTube'', accessed on 2013-12-01</ref><ref>2014-03-18, [http://www.heroesnexus.com/forums/heroes-general/general-discussion/167-hero-interaction-strings-introduction-questions Hero Interaction Strings - Introduction Questions], accessed on 2014-03-18</ref> She is a master spellcaster, trained by the legendary Archmage {{wow|Antonidas}} himself. Brilliant, courageous, and wise, it was Jaina who led the survivors of the {{wow|Third War|Scourge of Lordaeron}} to safety. But donโt mistake her graciousness for weakness, or she will gladly demonstrate to you the folly of picking a fight with a sorceress. Jaina is a frost [[mage]] who can slow the entire enemy team. == Background == {{Warcraft-section}} The daughter of {{wow|Daelin Proudmoore}} - the king of the coastal kingdom of {{wow|Kul Tiras}} and grand admiral of the {{wow|Alliance}} during the {{wow|Second War}} and her mother {{wow|Katherine Proudmoore}} - the queen of the coastal kingdom of Kul Tiras and sister of {{wow|Derek Proudmoore|Derek}} and {{wow|Tandred Proudmoore}} - the two princes of the coastal kingdom of Kul Tiras - Princess {{wow|Jaina Proudmoore|Jaina}} was a brilliant student of the ways of magic from childhood. She first studied under Antonidas, the archmage who led the Kirin Tor, a council of magi living and working in the mystic city of {{wow|Dalaran}}. During her early adulthood, Jaina struggled to prevent the spreading of a mysterious plague of undeath that would initiate the Third War and send her longtime friend and romantic interest, [[Arthas|Prince Arthas Menethil]], down a path of unmitigated darkness. As the war escalated, Jaina gained the trust of [[Thrall]], the warchief of the reformed {{wow|Horde}}, and became a key player in uniting the races of {{wow|Azeroth (world)|Azeroth}} to work together and stop the {{wow|Burning Legion}}. At the war's end, Jaina governed Theramore Isle, focusing her efforts on improving Horde-Alliance relations. She was an assiduous peacemaker, particularly during the {{wow|World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King|Northrend campaign}}, when she struggled to defuse tensions between [[Garrosh Hellscream]] and [[Varian|Varian Wrynn]], and then tried to appeal to the humanity of Prince Arthas after he had truly become the Lich King. Jaina's stance on peace changed when Garrosh Hellscream, who'd become warchief of the Horde in Thrall's absence, obliterated Theramore with a {{wow|mana bomb}}. == Gameplay == Jaina is combo-oriented [[Ranged Assassin]] with outstanding [[Area of Effect]] [[crowd control]] and [[burst]] damage potential. Befitting her Frost Mage theme, her [[trait]] ''Frostbite'' passively causes Jaina's Abilities to also affect their targets with ''Chill'', Slowing them and causing any Ability that hits an enemy already afflicted by Chill to deal increased damage. Chill affects all entities in the game for the purpose of inflicting bonus damage. This allows for easy-to-pick-up burst mage gameplay, but plenty of depth to her kit in the way she can engage enemies. === Strengths === *Outstanding burst damage *All Abilities apply a strong Slowing effect on hit *Excellent waveclear === Weaknesses === *Very fragile, especially to Melee Assassins *Long Cooldowns that must be managed with care *Limited mobility == Abilities == :''See '''[[Data:Jaina|Data page]]''' for a table of scaled values at key levels.'' {{Skills}} == Talents == {{talent table}} == Builds and guides == {{heroGuideList}} ==Skins== {{/Skins}} ==Portraits== {{/Portraits}} ==Sprays== {{/Sprays}} ==Emojis== {{/Emojis}} ==Quotes== {{main|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes/Dreadlord|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes/Theramore}} == Trivia == * Jaina was mentioned in {{wow|Day of the Dragon}} (February 2001 novel), and made her first appearance in ''{{wow|Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos}}'' (July 2002 game). ** Her first book debut nearly three and a half years later, in {{wow|Cycle of Hatred}} (February 2006), * Jaina is voiced by Laura Bailey. In ''Warcraft III'', she was voiced by Carrie Gordon Lowrey. * Jaina was one of the heroes revealed at [[BlizzCon]] 2014. * When it came to including Jaina, the art team looked at her ''{{wow|Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos|Warcraft III}}'' version, then combined elements from her ''{{wow|World of Warcraft}}'' form.<ref>2014-03-12, [http://heroes.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/heroes-of-the-storm-developer-qa-part-3-feb-20-2014-transcript/5 Heroes of the Storm Developer Q&A Part 3 (Feb 20, 2014) โ Transcript]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2014-06-19</ref><ref name="Ladies">[http://mr--jack.deviantart.com/art/Ladies-of-Warcraft-546331540 Mr. Jack on DeviantArt: Ladies of Warcraft]</ref> * One of Jaina's gag quotes is a reference to Raven from ''Teen Titans'' (July 2003), who uses the incantation "Azarath Metrion Zinthos". * Jaina's gag quote "Do you believe in magic in young girl's heart? Because you're encased in ice, so you probably should start" is a reference to The Lovin' Spoonful song "Do You Believe in Magic". * Jaina's gag quote "I put a spell on you because you're mine" is a reference to the song "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. * Jaina's gag quote "Let's just be clear, these aren't magic tricks, they are illusions, tricks are something you do during Hollow's End for candy" is a reference to a Gob Bluth quote from the TV show ''Arrested Development'' (November 2003). * Whenever Jaina kills a Jaina from the opposing team, she will say "The cold never bothered me anyway" which is taken from the song "Let It Go" from Disney's ''Frozen'' (November 2013). ** One of her gag quotes also refers to the movie. "By the way, if you're holding on for a ''Frozen'' reference, just let it go... Oh no, what have I done?!" * Jaina's old level 16 talent, Snow Crash, was a reference to the novel ''Snow Crash'' by Neal Stephenson. * Jaina's level 20 talent, Wintermute, is a reference to the AI Wintermute in William Gibson's book ''Neuromancer'' (July 1984). * A popular fan theory around the time of ''Mists of Pandaria'' claimed that Jaina had been replaced by a {{wow|Dreadlord}}, due to her sudden personality shift. While this has been proven false, it's referenced several times in ''Heroes of the Storm'': ** Searching for "Dreadlord" in the shop will bring up Jaina. ** The entire Dreadlord Jaina skin is an homage to the theory, and references it directly in a few quotes. ** When you're playing Jaina with the Jaina announcer selected, she can accuse you of being a Dreadlord imposter. ** While using the Theramore Jaina skin, you will automatically default to using Dreadlord Jaina's emojis if they're unlocked instead of Jaina's regular emojis. Theramore Jaina is based on Jaina after her personality change. ==Gallery== ===General=== <gallery> File:Jaina HotS Art.jpg | Jaina's artwork File:ClassicJaina.png | Jaina, shown at BlizzCon 2013 File:JainaDisguise1.png | Jaina wearing the Tempest Regalia File:Arthas Jaina Uther.jpg | Jaina helps Arthas and Uther destroy a tower.
