Rory Swann

HP: 750 Mana: 110 Armor: 1 Movement-Speed: 1.6

Rory Swann is a hero, that encourages you to use a hero-focused gameplay. Courage can be nearly constantly on your hero, increasing his damage drasticly and Blink will get your hero out of danger easily. Avatar makes him even more durable and deadly later on. If used properly War Stomp can get pretty ugly as well. Try to blink into a group of enemies and stomp instantly. This tactic is even more deadly if used in combination with the Flamethrower; surviving units won't be able to run away from your flame spitting mechanic.

Don't try the blink-and-stop-tactic too early. You'll need a big amount of healthpoint or even the Heart of the Holy Maiden to survive it and not give your enemy a free hero-kill.

Rory Swann is also hardly useful for unit-focused gameplay. Courage comes in handy and your blink-and-stomp can still be devastating with lots of intelligence, but don't rely on it. If you want to focus on your units you might want to choose another hero.
