Y’bneth’s Abilities
Passive: Natural Affinity
When standing among bushes, Y’bneth regenerates 32 (+15 per level) health points and 10 (+2 per level) mana each second (with a 15 second cooldown), but if he is attacked while doing so, the effect is immediately cancelled.
Skill 1: Wicked Thorns
With its extended limbs, Y’bneth deals 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+0.8 AD) physical damage and slows down its mobility. This ability changes to Redwood Rush if Y’bneth hits foes five times with any ability (a hit counts twice if it hits an opposing hero).
Skill 2: Branching Out
All opponents in the vicinity of Y’bneth are dealt 240/310/380/450/520/590 (+0.95 AD) physical damage, and they are gathered toward the center. When this ability strikes two or more opponents at once, they are stunned for one second and absorb 50% more damage.
Skill 3: Nature’s Realm
Y’bneth enters a slumber, instantly obtains a shield with 20% of its maximum HP points, and surrounds itself with a zone that slows down foes’ movement by 60%. While in its slumber, Y’bneth is impervious to damage and summons seeds that strike nearby opponents up to 20 times, causing 60/110/160 (+1% of maximum HP) physical damage each time. Y’bneth gets healed for 2% of its maximum HP if the seeds strike an opposing hero. If enemy units are struck by seeds eight times, they become stunned for one second.
