Earth Spirit smashes the target enemy or ally, sending them in the direction he is facing. If Earth Spirit targets an area, he will smash the nearest unit in a 200 radius, prioritizing Stone Remnants. The travelling unit or Remnant damages all enemy units it hits. If an enemy is hit by a Stone Remnant, they are also slowed. Stone Remnants travel further than other units.
Pros max it by level 8
Earth Spirit gathers himself into a boulder and, after a 0.6s delay, rolls toward the target location, dealing 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 + 100% STR damage and stunning enemy units. He will stop if he collides with an enemy hero or is stunned. If he rolls over a Stone Remnant, he will travel further and faster, and stun enemies for longer.
Pros max it by level 15
Earth Spirit pulls the target Stone Remnant or Allied Unit. Enemies struck by the gripped target will be silenced.Pulled Remnants also deal damage to struck enemies.Cast range is reduced when targeting an ally.
Pros max it by level 10
Call a Stone Remnant to the target location. Stone Remnants have no vision and are invulnerable, and can be used with Earth Spirit's abilities. Calling a Stone Remnant consumes a charge, which recharge over time. Stone Remnant has 7 charges.Earth Spirit passively gains 3% bonus damage per unused Stone Remnant charge, and gains an additional 7.5% bonus damage for 10s when a Stone Remnant is targeted with an ability (does not stack).
Magnetizes units in a small nearby area, causing them to take damage for a short duration. Magnetized heroes cause nearby Stone Remnants to explode, destroying the remnant and refreshing Magnetize's duration on all nearby enemies. This process can repeat multiple times. If an enemy hero is affected by Geomagnetic Grip or Boulder Smash, all magnetized heroes share the effects.
Pros max it by level 17
