How to play
Earth Spirit is a melee Strength hero who thrives in the thick of combat, soaking damage and trading hits that most heroes can't survive. Look to initiate fights — your kit is built to start engagements on your terms. Built-in escape tools mean you can play aggressively and bail when things go sideways. Natural durability lets you front-line and absorb cooldowns for your team. Your disables and utility are most valuable when enabling your cores to land kills.
