Earthshaker’s Ability
FISSURE
Uses a powerful totem to slam the ground, forming an impenetrable ridge of stone while stunning and harming the opposing troops in its path.
ENCHANT TOTEM
Enhances Earthshaker’s totem so that its subsequent attack will do more damage and have a 100.0 bonus attack range.
AFTERSHOCK
When Earthshaker utilizes his abilities, the ground beneath his feet shakes, dealing additional damage and stuns to adjacent enemy units.
ECHO SLAM
Shockwaves harm opposing units as they pass through the ground. Every time an opponent hits, an echo damages neighboring units. True heroes generate two echos.
