How to Counter Earthshaker

Earthshaker locks down fights with Fissure, an impassable ridge that stuns along its line, and Aftershock stuns again whenever he casts another ability. Echo Slam bounces between enemies and heroes cause two echoes each, so grouped heroes take more damage. Spell immunity blocks all three, while Linken's Sphere does not stop Fissure.

Counter items

  • Black King BarAvatar blocks Fissure, Aftershock and Echo Slam when active before the cast.
  • Aeon DiskCombo Breaker strongly dispels and zeroes damage as Echo Slam drops health.
