The talent names are sufficiently lore infused and seem to give Zul'jin a level of utility and flexibility seen in other newly released heroes, like Samuro and Varian.
Zul'jin's talents so far, look pretty great.
His level 1 choices in particular offer different styles of play, allowing Zul'jin to focus on improving his Ability Power or his passive auto attack damage.
As we go down the tree, we see some incredibly unique offerings. The level 4 talent, Headhunter is incredibly powerful at the cost of having to kill all 5 heroes individually. We dont' know if Zul'jin must land the killing blow on these kills, but even if that is the case, the reward for this quest seems absurdly fun and thematic.
Other talents of note are his level 20 Ensare talent that is simply a targetable root. Anyone who has ever played Warcraft 3 knows to never undestimate a simple net. The level 13 talent, Voodoo shuffle, is also surprisingly powerful on an assassin that seems capable of dishing out huge ammounts of damage when uninterupted.
