Bristleback: abilities, talents and story
When it comes to a fight, Bristleback really puts his back into it. Reducing all damage arriving from the rear or from the sides, he wades into battle with barely a care, spraying enemies with damaging quills and slowing snot.
Abilities
- Viscous Nasal Goo — Covers a target in snot, causing it to have reduced armor and movement speed for 5 seconds. Multiple casts stack and refresh the duration.
- Quill Spray — Sprays enemy units with quills dealing damage in an area of effect around Bristleback. Deals bonus damage for every time a unit was hit by Quill Spray in the last 14 seconds.
- Bristleback — Bristleback takes less damage if hit on the sides or rear. If Bristleback takes enough damage from the rear, he releases a Quill Spray of the current level.
- Hairball — Coughs a quill-packed hairball towards the target location. Erupts at the location, hitting enemies with Viscous Nasal Goo stacks and Quill Spray.
- Warpath — Bristleback works himself up into a fury every time he casts a spell, increasing his movement speed and damage.
- Prickly — Bristleback has bonus damage and debuff duration amp against enemy heroes that are behind him.
