Reasons Earth Spirit Becomes a “Signature” for Dota 2 Pro Players

At first, the writer didn't understand this one hero at all. This hero player must be able to place the Stone Remnant correctly.

But after learning from the video, trying the hero demos, to see the gameplay from W_Zayac from TeamSecret in session Group Stages, the author just realized that this hero is very great.

Good Initiator

A support has the responsibility to sacrifice for the team in order to win the battle. That's what an Earth Spirit can do to its friends.

With the help of Stone Remnant, you can "roll" further, giving longer stun to enemies you hit. That's when you can do the Magnetize-Geomagnetic Grip-Boulder Smash combo.

In addition, to avoid annoying enemies (Ursa, Legion Commander, Troll Warlord), you can use Enchanted Remnant on him. They will turn to stone for three seconds.

If you find that you fail, you can also use Enchanted Remnant on yourself to escape. You'll turn to stone and be able to Boulder Smash in any direction you're facing.

Can Save Friends or Lure Enemies

If Snapfire can throw Mortimer Kisses at friends, Earth Spirit can kick friends with Boulder Smash. With this skill, you can take them to open or leave the battle.

You can also kidnap enemies by jumping using Blink Dagger or Rolling Boulder. After finding an enemy, you can kick them with a Boulder Smash towards the team.

To make the kicks farther away, you can use Enchant Remnant (Aghanim's Scepter). Anyone affected by this Enchant Remnant cannot deal or receive damage for three seconds.

Besides that, you can kick the hero you enchant further than usual. Perfect for saving friends.

Reasons Pro Players Use Earth Spirit Dota 2: Best Damage Dealer!

Earth Spirit's Magnetize can provide enormous magical damage. In fact, the magic damage from the ultimate Earth Spirit can penetrate Black King Bar like Ultimate hero Bane!

You need to remember that the only thing that can penetrate the Black King Bar is the damage, while additional statuses such as Stun or Disable cannot. But still the enemy will get very painful damage over time!

If you ask "how much damage does this hero have?", the answer is "Yes". Moreover, the time of Earth Spirit's ultimate can be reset using Stone Remnant.

Imagine if you are only level 6, have Magnetize Skill level-1 (40 Magic Damage) and five Stone Remnant charges. The potential damage that you can give to enemies reaches 1,200 MagicDamage for 30 seconds!

If you still feel the damage is relatively small, you can combine it with basic attacks and other skills. It will definitely hurt more and the enemy can't go anywhere.
