Shaman build analysis
Shaman is an elite crowd control hero. Compared with the other 34 crowd control heroes in the database, Shaman has lower base numbers than most of its class, which is expected for an elite hero. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is insignia (Survival Insignia, 18.8%) and the least settled is talent (Revitalize, only 10.5%), so the talent slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Shaman's top talent, Revitalize, is picked 10.5% of the time, which is 14.0 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Revitalize (10.5%) | Sacred Light (6.1%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Survival Insignia (18.8%) | Revitalize Insignia (15.8%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Winged Rebirth Insignia (18.1%) | Asthenia Insignia (12.3%) | contested |
| Pet | Devil's Fire (13.0%) | Swarm of Doom (4.9%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.

Heroes with similar builds
No other hero uses the same Revitalize + Survival Insignia pairing as its top choice, so this build is specific to Shaman.
Looking at every slot, not just talent and insignia, these heroes' builds overlap most with Shaman's:
- Ice Demon (elite, crowd control): overlap score 107
