Tips and Tricks
Due to his ability to farm swiftly and gain a level and money edge, Lone Druid is most effective in the middle game.
Build your gear mostly on the Spirit Bear or Lone Druid.
Lone Druid can pick up runes with his bear, and you can send Spirit Bear to quickly gather runes for the bounty while you stay in your lane.
Lone Druid can be played with little micromanagement, but Spirit Bear needs to be commanded individually, almost like a second hero, in order to be as effective as possible.
In the event that either Spirit Bear or Lone Druid becomes incapacitated, they can both unleash the potent escape move with a short cooldown known as Savage Roar.
Lone Druid’s Ability
SUMMON SPIRIT BEAR
Summons a strong, equippable Spirit Bear companion. The bear is unable to attack the Lone Druid until it is moved 1100 yards away from him. If the Spirit Bear perishes, Lone Druid takes backlash damage equal to 20.0% of his maximum health.
The powers Return, Demolish, and Entangle Claws are available to Spirit Bear.
SPIRIT LINK
Links Both the Spirit Bear and the Lone Druid have faster attack speeds as a result of sharing some of their armor, which also causes the Spirit Bear’s damage to heal the Lone Druid.
SAVAGE ROAR
Enemies in the area retreat in panic toward their base as a result of the Spirit Bear and Lone Druid’s ferocious roar. They travel more quickly now by 20.0%.
TRUE FORM
Lone Druid learns to transform into a roaring bear, giving up his edge with ranged weapons but receiving more additional armor and health as well as enhanced Entangling Claws and Demolish abilities.
