Earth Spirit
Use a remnant and movement spell to create a catch, then leave room for allied follow-up.
First check
Which Stone Remnant will the next spell use, and where will Rolling Boulder stop?
Play as Earth Spirit
- Map the landing point of Rolling Boulder before committing; the target is only useful if an ally can reach the follow-up.
- Save a Stone Remnant for the second action or exit instead of spending every resource to begin one uncertain chase.
- Use your control to secure a wave or objective after the pickoff rather than searching immediately for another isolated hero.
Play against Earth Spirit
- Watch likely remnant and roll lines around narrow paths so Earth Spirit must reveal his entry earlier.
- Keep a save or control response outside his first catch area to protect the hero he reaches.
- After he spends the entry and remnant resources, pressure the next wave before he can set up again.
Make the lesson stick
For three rolls, mark remnant location, stop point, ally follow-up, and the route Earth Spirit used afterward.
