Description, attributes and patch history, in one place.
Highly mobile and always aggressive, Spirit Breaker charges across the map to bring the fight to his enemies. With each bash of his heavy lantern, he knocks his foes senseless. His enemies may run, but with the help of a few wards, they cannot hide.
Barathrum the Spirit Breaker is a lordly and powerful being, a fierce and elemental intelligence which chose to plane-shift into the world of matter to take part in events with repercussions in the elemental realm that is his home. To that end, he assembled a form that would serve him well, both in our world and out of it. His physical form borrows from the strengths of this world, blending features both bovine and simian--horns, hooves and hands--as outward emblems of his inner qualities of strength, speed and cunning. He wears a ring in his nose, as a reminder that he serves a hidden master, and that this world in which he works is but a shadow of the real one.
Spirit Breaker gains bonus Movement Speed for a duration whenever he stuns an enemy. Effects from multiple stuns stack and have independent durations. Duration pauses during Charge of Darkness.
Spirit Breaker fixes his sight on an enemy unit and starts charging through all objects, starting at 25% of the bonus speed and reaching his max speed after 1.5s.
