- ◆Summon Spirit Bear Since the bear is now a hero, all unit-related changes moved to a separate Spirit Bear section below. This section is for the summon ability changes only
- ◆Entangle New Point Targeted basic ability
- ◆Entangle Allows Lone Druid to Entangle enemies once they gain 5 stacks of this ability. Entangled enemies are unable to move for 1.2/1.6/2/2.4s and take 60/70/80/90 damage per second. When cast, applies 2 stacks to each enemy hero in the area and 5 stacks to enemy creeps, and also empowers Lone Druid for 10 seconds, making him apply 1 stack with each attack on enemy heroes.
