{{Hero infobox | datapage = Data:Xul | image = [[File:XulArt.jpg|240px]] ''"It is time."'' }} '''Xul''', the Cryptic Necromancer, is a melee [[Bruiser]] [[Hero]] from the ''[[Diablo (franchise)|Diablo]]'' universe.<ref>2015-01-21, [http://www.gamespot.com/articles/heroes-of-the-storm-gets-diablos-necromancer-and-w/1100-6433968/?ftag=GSS-05-10aaa0b Heroes of the Storm Gets Diablo's Necromancer and Wizard], accessed on 2015-01-21</ref> From the recesses of the eastern jungles comes a man cloaked in mystery. As a member of the secretive Priests of Rathma, or the Necromancers, Xul fights to preserve the delicate balance between order and chaos. Using powerful death magic, Xul will sap the strength of his enemies, block their escape, and direct his spectral scythe with lethal accuracy. Those who fall before the Necromancer find no peace even in death, rising again as skeletal servants bound to do their master’s bidding.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/xul/ Xul Hero Page]</ref> Xul is a [[Summoner]] who can push multiple lanes with ease. == Background == {{Diablo-section}} The {{dw|necromancer}}, as his name implies, is an unseemly form of sorcerer whose spells deal with the raising of the dead and the summoning and control of various creatures for his purposes. Though his goals are often aligned with those of the forces of Light, some do not think that these ends can justify his foul means. Long hours of study in dank mausoleums have made his skin pale and corpselike, his figure skeletal. Most people shun him for his peculiar looks and ways, but none doubt the power of the necromancer, for it is the stuff of nightmares.<ref>[http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/classes/necromancer.shtml The Arreat Summit - Necromancer]</ref> {{dw|Xul}} was the necromancer in the group of Heroes who battled [[Diablo]] and his brethren during the events of ''Diablo II''. He survived the journey, and later trained an apprentice named Mehtan. == Abilities == :''See '''[[Data:Xul|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}} == Trivia == * Xul represents the necromancer class from ''Diablo II'' (June 2000). * Xul is voiced by Michael McConnohie. * Xul is the first necromancer hero in the game. * Xul is the first ''Diablo II'' hero in the game. * During development, there were attempts to make Xul's skeletons follow him. However, the biggest problem was clutter. At the time they developed Xul the game already had [[Zagara]], [[Nazeebo]] and [[Azmodan]] along with other heroes. They were getting into a trend of putting a lot of summons on the screen at the same time. They tried to keep the fantasy of the Necromancer as much as we could while keeping clarity for the player base. One ability that hit the cutting room floor was that we wanted to get a more active corpse explosion which consisted of using the skeletons as leaping at a target then detonating.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/bm90b5/heroes_of_the_storm_design_ama_may_9_2019/emv9j2u/ Heroes of the Storm Design AMA - May 9, 2019]</ref> * Xul had an easter egg line when he was on the home screen where he would say "Hmm, Battle.net is a lot shinier than it used to be". * Xul's "I've got your ear" voice line is a reference to players dropping their ears as a loot item when killed in Diablo 2 ==Gallery== ===General=== <gallery> File:Xul HotS Art.jpg | Xul's artwork File:Xul home screen.jpg | Xul home screen File:Xul menu.jpg | Xul menu File:Malthael's Bargain home screen.jpg | Malthael's Bargain </gallery> ===Concept art=== <gallery> File:Xul Face Sculpt.jpg | Xul face sculpt File:Xul Model.jpg | Xul's model File:Master Xul Model.jpg | Necromaster Xul's model File:Serpent Xul Model.jpg | Serpent King Xul's model File:Master Xul Concept.jpg | Necromaster Xul concept </gallery> ===Abilities=== <gallery> File:Xul Spectral Scythe.jpg | Q: Spectral Scythe File:Xul Cursed Strikes.jpg | W: Cursed Strikes File:Xul Bone Prison.jpg | E: Bone Prison File:Xul Poison Nova.jpg | R1: Poison Nova File:Xul Skeletal Mages.jpg | R2: Skeletal Mages </gallery> ===Gameplay=== <gallery> File:Xul Pumpkins.jpg | Xul takes a mercenary camp File:Xul Horsemen Fight.jpg | Xul fighting the [[Headless Horseman]] </gallery> == Videos == {{#ev:youtube|uC7AdjaAE2o|500|center}} {{#ev:youtube|_JybO9iBECA|500|center}} == References == {{Reflist}} == External links == * [http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20045808/xul-hero-week-3-1-2016 Xul Hero Week] * [http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/xul/ Xul - Heroes of the Storm] * [http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Xul Xul - Diablo Wiki] * [http://heroespatchnotes.com/hero/xul.html Xul Balance Changelog - Heroes Patch Notes] * [http://rpboyer15.github.io/sounds-of-the-storm/pages/hero_pages/Xul%20-%20Default.html Xul Sound Files - Sounds of the Storm] {{Hero nav}} [[Category:Diablo heroes]] [[Category:Bruisers]] [[Category:Humans]] [[es:Xul]] [[Category:Males]]
