This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.

Huntresses are the elite cadre of the Sentinel army. Drawing their strength from the moon goddess, Elune, these warrior women ride the feral Nightsabre panthers into battle. Huntresses are strong, swift, and merciless to those who would defile the sanctity of Ashenvale Forest. Like all Night Elf women, Huntresses are able to Shadowmeld at night.

Spells and abilities

Hide

Lie in wait for enemies without attacking (Will respond to attacks).

Units will hold position and hold their fire, so when they are Shadowmelding, they will not break their own invisibility.

It's very handy for running away from a battle. The Hide ability is disabled during the day.

Requires 1.5 seconds to Fade.

Sentinel

Send owl companion to a nearby tree and provide vision. Can see invisible units.

Each Huntress only gets one Sentinel to use on a tree.

Once your Huntress uses her owl, she cannot get another one.
