Introduction



Sven is a Melee Hero with effective disable and chase capabilities. Although Sven is a Strength Hero, he uses his spells to gank and kill often, making him somewhat mana intensive. As a result, he'll often be out of mana or have barely enough. Sven is recomemended for beginners.

Storm Bolt - 1 Skill



Sven unleashes his magical gauntlet that deals damage and stuns enemy units.

1 255 600 2 Deals 100 damage and stuns

3 255 600 2 Deals 250 damage and stuns
4 255 600 2 Deals 325 damage and stuns
