This build is recommended when fighting team compositions that features multiple melee Heroes, to hit as many opponents as possible with Empower Sulfuras and Sulfuras Smash, and low burst damage, since this build means Ragnaros must stay on the frontline as much as possible, which can be dangerous considering his low health.In addition, Giant Scorcher also makes Ragnaros highly effective at fighting Warriors and other high-health opponents. Empower Sulfuras Build: focused on maximizing the damage of Empower Sulfuras, providing incredible amounts of sustained damage, as well improving Ragnaros self-sustain.Molten Core is put on cooldown when the match starts, to prevent Ragnaros from using a such powerful cooldown by the start of the match.Lava Wave is extremely telegraphed, as the wave is also shown as an icon in the minimap, giving opponents plenty of time to avoid.Most of his abilities are very easy to avoid.Vulnerable to crowd control effects, such as stuns and slows.Cannot deal very well against long range pokes and kiting.Mana intensive during all phases of the game.Blast Wave becomes Explosive Rune, which is very powerful when combo'ed with the other Molten Core abilities.Living Meteor becomes Meteor Shower, covering massive range and allowing Ragnaros to poke opponents from very high distances.Empower Sulfuras becomes Molten Swing, granting a area of effect stun with high range.While allied structures can be taken at any time, enemy structures can only be taken after being destroyed. Molten Core allows Ragnaros to take over structures and empower them, granting him a separate healthbar, as well a new set of basic abilities.Lava Wave is powerful defensive ability, and also very strong on minion-related map objectives, such as Tomb of the Spider Queen and Braxis Holdout.Sulfuras Smash has high range and deals massive damage, being extremely potent after opponents have been inflicted by some kind of crowd control.Blast Wave bestows Ragnaros with decent utility, being a flexible ability useful either for engaging opponents or to flee from combat.Additionally, it has the highest damage potential of all his abilities. Living Meteor is very versatile for various tasks, such as waveclear, sieging and poking.


Thunderaan was utterly defeated and the Firelord feasted upon his essence, but was unable to consume him entirely. It was during the Elemental Sundering that Ragnaros attacked Thunderaan, Prince of Air.

For five millennia a battle was fought at the core of this world.

It was then and there that the brothers turned on each other. The victorious Titans banished him and his brethren to the Elemental Plane - there to remain imprisoned until the end of time. As a servant of the Old Gods, he fought against the Titans for domination over the planet. The Firelord and his brethren once held sway over the entire world.
