Strategy[edit | edit source]
Vereesa Windrunner's raw stats are not worth her mana cost, nor are the stats of the weapon she equips. However, as the weapon is a result of Vereesa's Battlecry, having a weapon as well as a decent body together is overall worth it.
While the Spell Damage gained from Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury is temporary, it can help you either quickly finish a game with Kill Command and Rapid Fire, or it can ensure a clean field alongside Explosive Shot and Wing Blast. Spell Damage coming from a weapon instead of a minion gives the user a lot more flexibility, as the Spell Damage can be consistently gained over three separate turns. The player also doesn't need to spend any mana on the later turns to gain Spell Damage and can use all the mana on spells instead, potentially representing a huge burst of damage.
Note that Secrets will not be powered up by Thori'dal's effect, as it will wear off at the end of your turn before your secrets can trigger.

Lore[edit | edit source]
From Wowpedia:
- Vereesa Windrunner is the Ranger-General of the Silver Covenant. An elven ranger who fought throughout the Second and Third Wars, she is the youngest sister of Alleria and Sylvanas, widow of Archmage Rhonin Redhair, and mother of Giramar and Galadin. After becoming a ranger, she met Rhonin in an escort mission and together they helped free the Dragon Queen Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw clan. Nearly all of Vereesa's extended family were killed by orcs in the Second War and in Prince Arthas's invasion of Quel'Thalas.
- When Rhonin became leader of the Kirin Tor, Vereesa created and still leads the Silver Covenant, a militant core of high elves that rejected the admission of blood elves into the Kirin Tor and who took it upon themselves to serve as a military deterrent for any potential Sunreaver uprising. She styled herself as the "Ranger General of the Silver Covenant", her own version of the Ranger General of Silvermoon. After her husband's death and an act of treason both caused by the blood elves within the Kirin Tor, Vereesa joined Jaina Proudmoore, who succeeded Rhonin, in the Sunreaver Purge of Dalaran.
