Guide to Dota2, the heroes are spoiled for choice: Earthshaker, force hero whose real power lies in his spells.

Dota 2 is a multiplayer real-time strategy game, distributed by Valve's Steam platform. In this game, two teams of five players have the objective of destroying rival structures by controlling characters called heroes. 

 Like its predecessor, Dota 2 is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) video game that was developed and published by Valve in June 2015.

Multiplayer online battle arena video games (also called multiplayer online battlefield video games) or MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), also known as real-time action strategy (ARTS), are a genre of video games strategy that originated as a subgenre of the real-time strategy genre. 

Players control a single character, usually with unique powers and abilities on a team, who competes against another team of players, usually of the same number (teams are usually 3 to 5 human players). 


Guide to Dota2: Earthshaker, force hero whose real power lies in his spells.

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.

Slams the ground with a mighty totem, creating an impassable ridge of stone while stunning and damaging enemy units along its line.

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

Enchant Totem.

Empowers Earthshaker's totem, causing it to deal extra damage on the next attack.

Raigor's gorilla strength can destroy mountains.

Aftershock.

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

The earth trembles beneath the mighty footsteps of Raigor.

Echo Slam.

Shockwaves travel through the ground, damaging enemy units. Each enemy hit causes an echo to damage nearby units. Real heroes cause two echoes.

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