Bristleback(Dota Hero Information)


Although his spells seem very weak at first glance, Rigwarl is a bad hero
to underestimate. Quill Spray, Viscous Nasal Goo, and Warpath all provide
relatively small effects when used only once, but each ability stacks when
cast multiple times. Enemies of the Bristleback will soon find themselves
covered in goo and shredded by constant quill fire if they aren't careful.
Quill Spray deals increasing damage with each cast on the same target,
and due to its low cooldown and mana cost it can be very deadly over time.
When Rigwarl sees that his enemies are sufficiently weakened, he can move
in for the kill with Viscous Nasal Goo. This ability slows the target and reduces
their armor, increasing the damage of Quill Spray and Bristleback's physical
attack and making it impossible to escape. Furthermore, casting spells puts
Bristleback on the Warpath, which increases his movement and attack speeds
as he uses his abilities. Bristleback's signature skill, and where he gets his name,
is his near invulnerability to attacks that strike his back. All attacks and spells
that come from behind him will be heavily reduced and cause additional Quill
Sprays. Engaging a strong Rigwarl who is facing away is almost always a pointless
exercise.

Bristleback Background Story



The quillboars were never interested in the affairs and wars
of other races, but one knew that the Scourge would eventually
descend on their lands if left unchecked. Entering the ranks of the
Sentinel for the sole reason of the preservation of his tribe, Rigwarl
brings primal instincts to the never ending battle. Each time he releases
a flurry of quills or a glob of slime, he works himself into a frenzy that
increases his effectiveness drastically, and should he be in danger, his
bristle back would shield him from further harm. A perfect demonstration
of the abilities that even lesser beings can unleash.
