Heroes of the Storm is a multiplayer online battle arena played in 5v5 or 3v3 formats. Players face off in a dedicated arena to combat neutral creeps as they accumulate gold to elevate their heroes.

All participants aim to take hostages and destroy the opponent's Fort by forcing them through the castles and towers surrounding it. This achievement earns points and culminates in a win.

Players capture the Fort using specific chargeable characters and heroes (Sergeant Hammer, Thrall, and Tyrael). Real gameplay can be very chaotic as players use different skills and abilities to ensure the opponent doesn't have a chance to thrive. HotS is played in several phases, including:

• You must destroy the guardian to advance your play to the enemy's beam by overcoming sky temples on a map's sides.
• The next level is to pass through and overcome several dragon shrines and unlock the abilities of a dragon knight for a higher chance of winning.
• The next play involves going through the cursed hollow, where you encounter ravens. It decreases minions' health and makes them ineffective against assaults.
• You can also access the opponent's beam indirectly through towers of doom. You can take hostage of the core by destabilizing the rival using missiles.
