{{stub}}{{needimages|Profile pics}}{{wikify}}
The Human Alliance consists of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves. They are considered to be the most versatile army in Warcraft III, with good ground and air units, powerful spellcasters, and good siege capabilities.
==Heroes==
===Death Knight===
Supporting melee hero.
* Primary skill: Strength
;Abilities
*''Death Coil'': Heals a target undead friendly unit or deals half as much damage to a living enemy unit. Cannot target mechanical units.
*''Death Pact'': Sacrifices the targeted friendly unit, transferring a percentage of its hit points to the Death Knight.
*''Unholy Aura'': (Passive) Nearby friendly units gain a movement rate and HP regeneration bonus.
*''Animate Dead'': (Ultimate) Temporarily revives up to 6 non-mechanical dead units under the Death Knight's control, no matter their previous allegiance. If there are more than 6 corpses, it will revive the 6 strongest. In ''Frozen Throne'', revived corpses are invulnerable and therefore cannot be dispelled (since invulnerable units are magic-immune as well).


===Heroes===
===Lich===
Spellcaster hero with fast ranged attack. Abilities focus on dealing damage.
* Primary skill: Intelligence
;Abilities
*''Frost Nova'': Strikes a unit with area-of-effect frost damage, damaging and slowing all nearby enemy units.
*''Frost Armor'': Creates a shield of frost around a target friendly unit, increasing its armor. Enemy melee units that attack the shielded unit take frost damage, slowing their attack and movement speed. In ''Frozen Throne'', can be set to autocast.
*''Dark Ritual'': Sacrifices the targeted friendly unit, converting a percentage of its hit points into mana for the Lich. Highly useful in ''Frozen Throne'' as autocasting Frost Armor quickly depletes the Lich's mana pool.
*''Death And Decay'': (Ultimate) Deals constant area-of-effect damage proportional to the maximum hit points of whatever is being damaged (e.g. 4% of the max HP of the unit/building instead of a fixed value; the stronger the target, the more damage it receives per second). Channeling ability. Also damages terrain overlay (i.e. trees).
