Spells and abilities

Spirit Link

BTNSpiritLink.png
Links 4 units together in a chain. All units with Spirit Link on them will live longer, by distributing 50% of the damage they take across other Spirit Linked units.
Duration Mana Cost Range Area of Effect Allowed Targets Effect
75 sec. 75 75 50 Air, Ground, Friend, Self, Organic 50% of damage distributed

Use this to even out the damage among troops.

Damage sustained over Spirit link is never fatal. Fatal damage sustained via Spirit Link reduces a unit to 1 hit point, and dispels Spirit Link.

Spirit Link Counters

Kill the Spirit Walkers.

Use dispel spells.

Disenchant

Cooldown Mana Cost Range Allowed Targets Effect Requirements
30 sec. 250 35 Ground, Player Units, Dead, Tauren Revives Dead Tauren Spirit Walker Master Training

Notes: Tauren-caster, like a Spirit Walker, is revived with additional 25% of its mana restored.

This is an incredibly powerful ability which allows you to return dead Tauren to life! If you use Tauren, this is a must have ability.

Ancestral Spirit Counters

Kill the Spirit Walker or remove their mana.

Remove the corpses using a corpse destroying ability.

Corporeal Form

BTNEtherealFormOn.png
Turns the Spirit Walker corporeal, allowing him to attack and take physical damage.
Duration Cooldown Effect
0.70 sec. 30 sec. Turn Corporeal

Use this ability if you think that there are many enemy units who can use magic attacks or spells which can take down the Spirit Walker easily.

Spirit Walkers start in Ethereal form. When Spirit Walkers leave Ethereal Mode, they cannot become Ethereal again for 30 seconds.

Spirit Walkers in Ethereal Form take 66% bonus damage from magic and spell damage.
