Tusk compresses shards of ice into a ball of frozen energy that damages all enemies it comes in contact with. When the ball reaches its target destination the shards are released, creating a barrier that lasts for 7 seconds.

In the frozen tundra near the Barrier, after the last sun of autumn has set, ice can form with alarming speed.

• Modified values: Mana cost, cooldown and damage.

• The projectile travels at a speed of 1100 and travels until reaching the targeted point.

• The ice shards are always created in the same formation.
  • The shards' formation is a 200 radius circle with one open side, the center of the circle is the targeted point.
  • The first shard is always created 200 range further from the targeted point away, so it is always in one line with Tusk's position upon cast.
  • The next shards are placed 40° further to the left and the right respectively, up to 7 shards. 9 shards would make a full circle.
  • So the open side of the shards circle is always facing towards Tusk's position upon cast.
  • The shards' collision radius is approximately 67, the distance between them is about 6, which is too small for any unit to move through.

• Units not controlled by any player do not try to path around the shards, but simply walk against them as if they are not there.
  • This effectively causes them to get stuck until they change directions (e.g. when aggro-ing them).

• The projectile has 100 radius flying vision. This vision lasts for 2 seconds at the targeted point upon reaching it.

Tusk begins rolling into a snowball. Allies within a 400 radius can also be added to the snowball by right-clicking on them, even while the snowball is moving. Once launched, any enemies caught in the snowball's path will be stunned and take damage. Each allied Hero in the snowball will add to its damage.

Tales are still told of the wild feat that ended the grand brawl at White Fields.

• Modified values: Cooldown, base damage and damage per gathered hero.

• The snowball travels at a speed of 675 and cannot be disjointed.

• The Snowball chases the target for up to 3 seconds, so it can travel for up to 2025 range.

• Allies can be added by right-clicking them at any point. Allies can jump inside the Snowball by themselves as well, by right-clicking it.
  • Allies affected by Black Hole cannot join the Snowball.

• Units inside Snowball are invulnerable, hidden and spell immune. Allies inside the Snowball are also fully disabled.

• Tusk himself is only muted and disarmed inside it, meaning he can cast his spells, but cannot use items or attack.

• The radius increases by 40 per second, starting immediately as it begins rolling, so the radius during each second is 240/280/320.

• Only gathered allied heroes increase its damage. Other added units do not. Illusions do not count as heroes.

• Can gather summoned units, except for wards. However, it can gather Tusk's own Frozen Sigil.

• Can gather allies while they are invisible, or invulnerable.

• When Snowball connects with its target, Tusk is given an attack order on the target.
  • This means that Tusk will attack the target even if the player has "Auto Attack" option disabled.

• The disable help function prevents an allied Tusk from getting you inside his Snowball.

• The snowball destroys trees within its radius as it rolls forward.

• This is how much damage Snowball deals (before reductions) with a certain amount of heroes (counting Tusk):
  • 2 Heroes: 150/250/350/450
  • 3 Heroes: 200/300/400/500
  • 4 Heroes: 250/350/450/550
  • 5 Heroes: 300/400/500/600

• The cast of Launch Snowball is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.

Walrus WALLOP!

Ability
Target Unit

Affects
Enemies

Tusk connects with his mighty Walrus Wallop, a critical strike so powerful it launches its victim forward. When the unit collides with another enemy, that enemy also takes the crit damage and receives a weaker knockback, continuing the effect on units it hits. A unit can only be hit once per use of Walrus Wallop.

Walrus Punch Slow

Any

It never matters who throws the first punch, only who throws the last.

• Despite being an active attack modifier, Walrus Punch does proc all on-cast effects like a regular spell.

• Walrus Punch cannot miss to evasion and blindness.

• The target travels away from Tusk in an arc 800 range far.

• While in the air, other units may pass below the punched unit.

• The slow is applied right upon cast, so the effective slow duration is 2/3/4 seconds since the target is stunned for the first second.

• Can punch everything, except wards, buildings, allied and own units.

• Since the damage is a simple crit, it can cleave and Tusk can lifesteal off it.

• Plays a sound as soon as the attack starts. The sound only stops playing upon landing the punch.

• When the target collides with an enemy, the target stops flying back. The effect gets transfered to the collided enemy.
  • When these enemies collide with more enemies, the effect gets transfered again. This repeats until the end.
  • Enemies collided with are hit so that as if Walrus Wallop was cast on them as well, except that they travel for half the remaining distance.
  • This means all collided enemies are hit by an instant attack by Tusk, getting the slow, crit and knockback applied on them.
  • The slow of Walrus Wallop does not get transfered, only the knockback does. The slow lasts the full duration on all hit enemies.

• Once purchased, Tusk cannot drop or sell his Aghanim's Scepter.
