Shaman

Lava Swirlactive, area, pure damage

Lava Shaman creates a swirl beneath her feet that erupts after a 2.6 s delay, dealing 150 / 200 / 300 pure damage and silencing every enemy in the area for 2 / 2 / 3 s. The blast radius grows with star level — 234 / 320 / 400, 10 / 8 / 6 s cooldown.

Role: a cheap melee disabler that stands in the front line and shuts down enemy casters. She is useful from the early game onward and keeps her place as a Cave Clan and Shaman synergy piece.

Synergies

Cave Clan · species

Synergy effect: (2) All allies gain +150 health. (4) All allies gain +400 health. (6) All allies gain +400 health, plus additional health equal to 800 × the percentage of the chess player's lost health.

How to play

Cave Clan is the simplest survivability for the whole board: cheap heroes reach (2) in the first rounds, and (4) with its large health boost comes together by the mid game and makes the team noticeably thicker against any damage type. (6) needs the expensive heroes and adds more health the more player health you have already lost, making it a synergy for a player who is behind and wants to claw back through survivability.

Shaman · class

Synergy effect: (3) All allied Shamans transform into an Illusion Form 2 seconds after casting an active ability or using an active item; the Illusion Form costs 2 more than their own sell price. The cost of the Illusion Form cannot exceed the player's current level. The Illusion Form lasts 20 seconds. (6) All allied Shamans transform into an Illusion Form 2 seconds after casting an active ability or using an active item; the Illusion Form costs 2 more than their own sell price. The cost of the Illusion Form cannot exceed the player's current level. The Illusion Form lasts 20 seconds. At the same time, the equipment they wear turns into random equipment of +2 quality. Class trait: the mana cost of Shaman abilities is reduced by 25%. Shamans keep this trait after transforming.

How to play

Shamans are a transformation synergy: after casting an ability or using an active item they temporarily become a more expensive illusion, and with (6) their equipment is temporarily upgraded as well. The reduced ability cost speeds up their first casts. Cheap Shamans let you assemble (3) in the first rounds, while (6) is a late-game option with expensive heroes; the strength of the synergy grows with the player's level, which caps the cost of the illusion.
