Raigor Stonehoof, the Earthshaker, is a melee strength hero with several area of effect (AoE) disables, commonly played as a ganker or initiator. Good usage of his spells allow him to damage and chainstun multiple enemies at once, making him very disruptive and in skirmishes and teamfights. His Fissure is a versatile long-ranged spell that affects enemies in a line, used to stun, inflict moderate damage, and create an impassable wall of earth for a significant duration. Proper usage of this can allows him to cut off chokepoints, leaving enemies with no escape routes or preventing them from chasing after endangered allies. Enchant Totem massively boosts his attack damage for one attack, and has a very short cooldown. Aftershock lets the Earthshaker deal additional damage and stun in a small area around him every time he uses one of his spells, and combos particularly well with Enchant Totem, given the former's very low cooldown. Earthshaker's heavy AoE-centric kit is most powerful when his enemies are in large numbers and in close proximity. With his Echo Slam, he can deal heavy damage to clusters of enemies. All of Earthshaker's spells (with the exception of his ultimate) have a long casting animation, but with proper positioning, an adept Earthshaker can wreak havoc. Blink Dagger is an essential item for him to be able to properly land Echo Slam within a cluster of enemies. At the same time, because of the high mana costs of his spells, he needs some form of mana sustenance. With his tremendous seismic power, the Earthshaker is never one that should be taken lightly even when he is heavily outnumbered.

Bio

Raigor Stonehoof, the Earthshaker

▶️ "There may be many earths, but there's only one Earthshaker."

Lore:

Like a golem or gargoyle, Earthshaker was one with the earth but now walks freely upon it. Unlike those other entities, he created himself through an act of will, and serves no other master. In restless slumbers, encased in a deep seam of stone, he became aware of the life drifting freely above him. He grew curious. During a season of tremors, the peaks of Nishai shook themselves loose of avalanches, shifting the course of rivers and turning shallow valleys into bottomless chasms. When the land finally ceased quaking, Earthshaker stepped from the settling dust, tossing aside massive boulders as if throwing off a light blanket. He had shaped himself in the image of a mortal beast, and named himself Raigor Stonehoof. He bleeds now, and breathes, and therefore he can die. But his spirit is still that of the earth; he carries its power in the magical totem that never leaves him. And on the day he returns to dust, the earth will greet him as a prodigal son.

Fissure Stun

Strong

The Nishian totem splits the world to its core with tectonic force.

• Fissure's effects are instantly applied within its whole area. There is no travel time.

• The Fissure consists of 24 ( 31) segments, which are placed in a straight line in front of Earthshaker.
  • The segments have a collision size of 24 and a distance of 8.25 between each other, with the first one being placed 8.25 range in front of Earthshaker.
  • This means the Fissure's effective blocking area is {{#show:#Fissure|?value2#}} ( {{#show:#Fissure|?value2 tal#}}) range long and 24 range wide.
  • Every unit (except wards and buildings) which is within that area upon cast is pushed aside.

• The stun and damage are applied in a circular shape around each segment. This means the total damage/stun area consists of multiple overlapping circles, and not a smooth line.
  • A unit can only be hit by one instance per cast, even when within the damage/stun radius of multiple segments.
  • Can hit units up to ( ) range in front and 192.75 range behind Earthshaker

• Flying units and units with free pathing ( Spectral Dagger, Charge of Darkness, Spin Web) are not blocked by Fissure.
  • They still are fully affected by it otherwise when hit. They are pushed aside, stunned and damaged.

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

Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade:

Enchant Totem becomes a 900 range ground target ability, causing Earthshaker to jump in the air and land at the target spot, casting Enchant Totem there. Self-casting the ability will behave in the original form, without jumping.

Modifiers [?]

Enchant Totem

Basic

Enchant Totem Leap

Undispellable

Raigor's gorilla strength can destroy mountains.

• Only increases base damage and that given by the primary attribute of Earthshaker. Raw bonus damage is not increased.

• The Enchant Totem buff grants True Strike, so the attack cannot miss.

• When upgraded, the spell turns into an area targeted spell. It may only target the ground or self.
  • Double-clicking the ability automatically targets self.
  • When targeting self, the ability behaves like the unupgraded version, using the 0.69 + 0.57 second cast animation and not leaping.
  • When targeting ground, it uses a 0 second cast time and a 0.2 second cast backswing, during which Earthshaker is disabled.
  • The leap duration is always the same, so the speed adapts based on the targeted distance. The leap height is always 562 range.
  • During the leap, Earthshaker is fully disabled, unable to move, turn, attack or cast spells or items.
  • The spell counts as cast as soon as the leap starts. However, Aftershock and the totem buff are applied upon landing.
  • Aftershock and the totem buff are applied even when Earthshaker gets disabled or dies during the leap.
  • Getting hit by other sources of forced movement causes the leap's trajectory to change, but it is not interrupted.
  • However, getting hit by forced movement causes the ability to not apply Aftershock or the totem buff upon landing.
  • The spell is fully and immediately canceled when getting moved upwards or teleported by other spells.
  • While in the air, other units may pass below Earthshaker.
  • The targeting reticule shows the radius of Aftershock, even when it hasn't been learned yet.

Aftershock

ET

Ability
Passive

Affects
Enemies

Damage
Magical

Causes the earth to shake underfoot, adding additional damage and stuns to nearby enemy units when Earthshaker casts his abilities.

Radius: 300

Damage: 75/100/125/150

Stun Duration: 0.6/0.9/1.2/1.5

Modifiers [?]

Stunned

Strong

The earth trembles beneath the mighty footsteps of Raigor.

• Aftershock does not trigger upon using items.

• Applies its effects (damage and stun) before the effects of the triggering spell are applied.

• The stun does not stack with the stun of Fissure. It follows the regular rule of stuns – the longer stun overrides the shorter one.

Echo Slam

▶️▶️RC

Ability
No Target

Affects
Enemies

Damage
Magical

Shockwaves travel through the ground, damaging enemy units. Each enemy hit causes an echo to damage nearby units.

Cast Animation: 0+1.33

Initial Damage Radius: 600

Echo Search Radius: 600

Initial Damage: 160/210/270

Echo Damage: 40/55/70 ( 80/95/110)

 150/130/110

 145/205/265

Tectonic plates crack, mountains fold, and foes are crushed by the Echo Slam.

• Echo Slam interrupts Earthshaker's channeling spells upon cast.

• Applies the initial damage instantly to all units within the initial damage radius.

• The echo search radii are centered around each unit hit by the initial damage.
  • Echo waves are sent out to every enemy unit within the search radius.
  • This means the echo waves targets can be up to 1200 range away from Earthshaker upon cast.

• The echo waves travel at a speed of 600 and can be disjointed.

• Any unit killed by the Echo Slam's initial damage still releases echo waves to units around it.

• Wards and buildings are completely ignored, meaning they do not release echo waves.

• Fully affects invisible units and units in the Fog of War.

• Total damage to a single unit when hitting a certain number of heroes with no creeps nearby:
  • 1 Hero: ( )
  • 2 Heroes: ( )
  • 3 Heroes: ( )
  • 4 Heroes: ( )
  • 5 Heroes: ( )

Notes:

• Upgrading health and mana increases maximum health and mana capacity and keeps the current health and mana percentage.

• The attack damage is added as bonus attack damage, and therefore does not benefit illusions, nor does it get increased by Enchant Totem.
