Active
New Point Targeted basic ability. Pierces Debuff Immunity.
Allows Lone Druid to Entangle enemies once they gain enough stacks of this ability. Entangled enemies are unable to move and take damage per second. On cast, applies stacks to each enemy hero and enemy creep in the area, and empowers Lone Druid (1 stack per attack on enemy heroes). Enemies are protected from gaining new stacks while already Entangled.
Spirit Bear's Entangling Claws now levels up with this ability and is permanently empowered.?The Empowered Buff and the enemy stack-counter debuff are undispellable; the Entangled debuff is dispellable. Creeps gain stacks only on cast (not from attacks); Roshan is affected as a hero.
