ABILITIES
1. Boulder Smash
Earth Spirit smashes the target enemy, ally, or Stone Remnant, knocking it back in the direction he is facing. The knocked back target deals damage to all units it hits. If the target was a Stone Remnant, damaged targets are also stunned, and the travel distance is improved.
It is with the power of a mountain that Earth Spirit strikes his enemies.
Skill is a bit difficult for those who are still unfamiliar with this hero.
With this skill you can kick:
-stone
-hero / creep
Enemies whose hit by the stone will be exposed to stun and damage.
The direction of the kick is straight, then make sure your position and the position of the target is a straight line and then you can launch a kick. With the number of times you use this hero you will surely understand by yourself. So keep practicing and become better.

2. Rolling Boulder
After a 0.6s delay, Earth Spirit becomes a boulder, rolling in the direction he is facing and damaging enemy units, stopping if he collides with an enemy hero or is stunned. If the boulder rolls over a Stone Remnant, the Stone Remnant is consumed and travel distance and speed are improved, and impacted enemies have their movement and attack speed slowed.
Calling upon his connection to the land, the Earth Spirit draws loose stone to him, which forms a protective ball that he can use to roll short distances.
You will roll and will stop when there is an enemy getting hit by you, then the enemy will be slowed.
Make sure you roll on the rock so that you will roll on a maximum distance, because if there is no stone, it will be a short distance. This skill is quite good for initiating, then you will be rolling into the middle area of ​​the opponent, and then start the teamfight.

3. Geomagnetic Grip
Earth Spirit pulls the target allied unit or Stone Remnant to his location. Enemies struck by the flying target will be stunned, and take damage if the flying target is a Stone Remnant.
Like calls to like. Even the minerals found in the blood and bones of living beings are not immune to the call of the Earth Spirit.
You can pull the rock / friendly hero  at you and the enemy crushed will be silenced. Skills are good enough to start a gank or a teamfight.
When the enemy is silenced, your team can easily beat him. Also useful when your friend is in trouble and you can pull him to the farthest from the enemy who pursued him.

Stone Remnant
Call a Stone Remnant at the target location. Stones Remnants have no vision and are invulnerable, and can be used with Earth Spirit's abilities. Calling a Stone Remnant consumes a charge, which recharge over time.
Put the stone. Stone is an element of every skill you have. All of them need stone.

4. Magnetize
Magnetizes units in a small nearby area, causing them to take damage over time for a short duration. Any magnetized heroes cause nearby Stone Remnants to become energized and explode, applying/refreshing the magnetize debuff on all units near the Stone Remnant. This process can repeat multiple times. Stone Remnants are destroyed in this process. If an enemy hero is affected by silence or slows as a result of Rolling Boulder or Boulder Smash, all magnetized heroes share the effects.
Deal damage to enemies around you. With the stone, dps will increase.
If multiple enemies at the same time exposed by the Magnetize, it is enough to silence one person and the friends will also be affected by the silence. Similarly as the Rolling Boulder slow, then all enemies will be exposed to slows as well.
This principle does not apply to stun.

Once you're level 6 or above, start to move to another lane to gank the enemy. Look for the kill as much.

BIO
There is no such thing as harmony among the creatures of the Yama Raskav Jungle. By bite, or claw, or pincer, or hoof, even the slightest sign of weakness means a swift death. They say the Rider was just a lad cutting chaff in his family's field when he was taken, swept up by a massive morde-bat looking for take-out. But this boy had a better idea, and wriggled his way from his captor's grip, onto the beast's back, and hacked it down with his tools. Emerging from the bloody wreckage and intoxicated by the thrill of flight, the boy realized he'd found his calling. The boy grew, and every summer he'd return to his family's field, often setting out into the bush seeking to reclaim that first thrill of facing death in the form of jaws or a fatal fall. The years went on, but his fire only grew stronger. He studied the overgrowth, plunging deeper with each expedition, until finally he found his way to the caves at the heart of hostility. They say the Rider, on the eve of a scorching summer night, had nothing but a rope, a bottle of liquid courage and a burning determination to feel the skies once more, when he plunged inside...
