About hero

Earthshaker is a melee strength Hero which commonly is played as a ganker. In early game Earthshaker’s main ability is Fissure. Fissure makes him a strong ganker hero as it can be used to block enemies for several seconds almost ensuring for killing enemy heroes.

He can block the enemy’s retreat or save an ally from the pursuers. Aftershock is Earthshaker’s passive ability adding bonus damage and stun effect  to his other spells. His next ability is Enchant Totem is used to cause Aftershock stun allowing himr to keep his enemy target disabled longer.

In late game Earthshaker’s role shifts to being an initiator where he commonly uses Blink Dagger and his ultimate to start fights. When he cast Echo Slam in the center of a battle, he can disable an entire enemy team and do major damage.

If he chained successfully with Fissure then an enemy can be stunned up to 4.75 seconds making him vulnerable and overall contributes to team fights very well. One of Earthshaker’s hero weaknesses is slow speed for casting spells except for ulta.

Recommended Items

Blink Dagger is a often used on Earthshaker, used with Echo Slam, it can cause massive area damage by placing Earthshaker in the middle of a large group of units.

Items Arcane Boots and Soul Ring are great items for early game to have as they give him instant mana.

Force Staff is very good if you dont want to spend  2150 gold for Blink Dagger now, as you can buy it in several  parts, making you lose less gold on deaths. It also has a lower cd and you can make a lifesaver by fissuring and then force staffing someone over during a chase.
