Y’bneth Abilities (Descriptions, Videos, and Mechanics)

What’s with all these numbers? Learn more about Ability Progression.

Passive Ability	Effect
NATURAL AFFINITY	Y’bneth regenerates 32(+15 per level) HP and 10 (+2 per level) mana every second while standing in bushes (with a 15 second cooldown,) but the effect immediately stops if Y’bneth is attacked during regeneration.
Ability Mechanics: The ability description is misleading: Y’bneth will regenerate every second for five seconds. Then there is a 10 second cooldown before the effect can trigger again. Simply entering bushes will immediately trigger Natural Affinity for five seconds even if Y’bneth immediately leaves – though the ability must be off cooldown once he enters to trigger the effect

Ability 1	Effect
Wicked Thorns Mana: 40 Physical Damage Control	Y’bneth extends its limbs, dealing 250/300/350/400/450/500 (+0.8 AD)ˀ  physical damage and reduces movement speed. After Y’bneth hits enemies 5 times with any ability (a hit is counted twice if it lands on an enemy hero) this ability becomes Redwood Rush. Redwood Rush: Y’bneth gains a shield with 8% of maximum HP points and charges forward, dealing 270/310/350/390/430/470 (+0.8 AD) physical damage and knocking enemies back. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Base Damage 250 300 350 400 450 500 Cooldown 6 5.5 5 4.5 4 3.5
Ability Mechanics: Range: 750 units Redwood Rush can pass through walls Y’bneth cannot push other heroes through walls with Redwood Rush Redwood Rush is available immediately after gaining five stacks, no matter Wicked Thorns’ cooldown at the time. The number of stacks is displayed on the screen, along with an 8-second cooldown timer before the stacks reset. Mana cost increases by 5 per level.

Ability 2	Effect
Branching Out Mana: 70 Physical Damage Control	Y’bneth deals 240/310/380/450/550/620(+0.95 AD) physical damage to all enemies in an area in front of it and gathers them toward the center. If this ability hits 2 or more enemies at once, enemies take 50% additional damage and are stunned for 1 second. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Damage 285 340 395 450 505 560 Cooldown 9 9 9 9 9 9
Ability Mechanics: Range: 450 units Mana cost increases by 5 per level. Displaced enemies are arranged in a line in front of Y’bneth Some enemies may be pushed away if there’s not enough space in the “line”

Ultimate	Effect
Nature’s Realm Mana: 120 Physical Damage Control	Y’bneth goes into a slumber, gains a shield with 20% of maximum HP points immediately, and creates a zone around itself, reducing the movement speed of enemies inside the zone by 60%. Y’bneth is invincible while in its slumber and summons seeds to strike enemies within the zone up to 20 times, dealing 60/110/160 (+1% of maximum HP) physical damage. If the seeds hit an enemy hero, Y’bneth is healed for 2% of its max HP. Enemy units are stunned for 1 second if they’re hit by seeds 8 times. 1 2 3 Damage 60 110 160 Cooldown 40 40 40
Ability Mechanics: Range: 600 units, Effective Range: 800 units Mana cost increases by 15 per level. While the ability says that Y’bneth is invincible, this is not the case. Instead, Y’bneth can not be affected by control effects while channeling. Players can use the movement stick to change the target area while channeling. Seeds land where the targeting area was when they were fired rather than when they land. Seeds land roughly 0.5 seconds after fired Ability lasts 5 seconds, so seeds are fired every 0.25 seconds There is a small window after the ability is activated and before Y’neth is immune to stuns in which Y’bneth can be stunned out of Nature’s Realm, setting its full cooldown timer

In-Game Tool Tip

Y’bneth’s abilities are more effective when hitting multiple enemies, so it’s better in team fights. Hide in the brushes to restore HP and Mana when it’s not doing so hot.
