Gravel

By:
Last Updated:

Role:
Warrior

Lore:
Giants roamed the tranquil world when mankind were still young and innocent. However, when the strife rose, war was everywhere. Tenderhearted as they are, the giants moved and inhabited in the mountains, away from the fray of conflict. Day by day, they gradually accepted nature as a form of their lifestyles and partially evolved into grey-skinned creatures with a hide as strong as rocks. Rumors spread throughout the land of their "growth" and labeled them as Mountain Giants.
Gravel had an adventurous spirit from his youth. He wanted to see beyond the clouds that canopies the land below. Therefore, when he was of age, he left the mountains and continued the legacies of his forefathers- Roaming.

Base Stats:

Health: 920 (+150/level)
Health Regen: 2.86 (+0.5/level)

Energy: 350 (+20/level)
Energy Regen: 2 (+0.5/level)

Speed: 3

Attack Speed: 0.6
Attack Range: 1
Attack Damage: 85 (+20/level)

Gravel is a tank hero with a high basic attack. However, he is the epitome of slow and his energy costs are all high despite his lower energy pool and regen. Fortunately, his abilities attracts enemies to him so he does not have to chase them down. If anything, Gravel is a hero you will like in maps like DK and Temple. He has a lot of positional control.

Tree Toss:
Click this button again to activate Tree Toss in a direction. If it collides with a hero, they are pushed away in the same direction which the tree was flung in. (Note: Gravel can target allied heroes)

(Note: This Area of Effect is at least twice and big as ETC's Mosh Pit)

Seismic Swing

Boulder Barricade

Active

Energy Cost: 120
Cooldown: 8 seconds

Gravel throws a boulder at a target area, both enemy and allied heroes hit are pushed out of the target area (Opposite of Johanna's Condemn). The boulder remains for 5 seconds while creating a barricade (as big as 1 cannon tower, of course not as tall to not block vision).

During the effect of this ability, a very large* target area around Gravel is affected: all enemy heroes are slowed for 5% movement speed and slows, roots and stuns from all other friendly abilities are increased for 1 more second.

(*Note: Even Gravel himself cannot control when to end Golem's Tantrum.)
(*Note: The Area Of Effect's radius is Falstad's Level 10 Hinterland Blast's range)
