Druid
Overview
Druid is a highly mobile summoner focused on farming, map control, and strategic positioning rather than direct combat. Unlike many heroes, Druid does not want to enter prolonged face-to-face fights. Instead, he uses his movement speed, summoned creeps, and unique bush mechanics to outfarm opponents, collect Crowns, and create favorable engagements. His playstyle revolves around controlling the battlefield, creating pressure through summoned units, and constantly moving around the map. Druid is primarily a Physical Damage hero.
Playstyle
A good Druid player constantly moves around the map instead of looking for direct fights. His goal is to farm faster than opponents, reach important item upgrades early, force enemies into bad positions, and use summoned creeps to create numerical advantages.
- •Fast farming
- •Collecting Crowns efficiently
- •Controlling space with bushes
- •Creating favorable fights through positioning
- •Supporting allies with Speed Aura
- •Pressuring enemies using summoned creeps
Abilities
Basic Attack
Basic AttackPassive. Druid throws an enchanted sickle. Each attack has a 50% chance to deal additional damage and create a bush behind the target based on the projectile direction. If an enemy is fighting near walls or obstacles, the newly created bush can block escape routes and trap them. The bush can also immediately be transformed into a summoned creep, allowing Druid to suddenly create a 2-versus-1 fight.
Summon Creep
ActiveActive Ability. Druid transforms a bush into an allied monster. The summoned creep fights alongside Druid and can help farm bushes, pressure enemy heroes, block movement, and secure kills. Because Druid can create bushes himself, he can often summon creeps exactly where he wants them. A well-placed creep can completely change the outcome of a fight.
Speed Aura
PassivePassive Aura. Druid constantly increases the movement speed of himself and nearby allies, including summoned creeps. The aura allows Druid and his team to rotate faster, escape dangerous situations, chase enemies more effectively, and farm the map more efficiently. Speed Aura is one of the strongest utility abilities in Spelltroum because movement speed is useful during every stage of the match.
Super Spell
Super Spell
Mega Creep. Unlocked when Druid reaches Hero Power 9. Once unlocked, reaching Level 10 during a match upgrades Druid's summoned creature into a Mega Creep with 20% increased Health. This makes Druid's summons significantly harder to kill and much more impactful during late-game fights.
