Mender skill · aims at himself · evolves into Mirror Lake
Mirror Spring
A thin skin of water wards you and every hero near you. It works around the Mender himself, so it needs no target.
It is on the hero’s skill tree from the start: one level-up point learns it.
Rank by rank
Each level up to 30 brings one point for the skill tree, then every second level does: a point learns a skill you do not have while one of your 6 slots is free, or adds the next rank of one you have, up to rank 5. These are the lines the tree shows for each rank:
- Rank 1: A 10-point ward on you and every hero within 4.5 tiles for 4 s · 16.0 s cooldown (9.6 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 2: A 13-point ward on you and every hero within 4.5 tiles for 4 s · 15.0 s cooldown (9 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 3: A 16-point ward on you and every hero within 4.5 tiles for 4.5 s · 14.0 s cooldown (8.4 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 4: A 20-point ward on you and every hero within 4.5 tiles for 4.5 s · 13.0 s cooldown (7.8 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 5: A 24-point ward on you and every hero within 4.5 tiles for 5 s · 12.0 s cooldown (7.2 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)

Evolution: Mirror Lake
Rank 5 + Light Step → Mirror Lake. Hold Mirror Spring at rank 5 and any rank of Light Step, and its gold evolution node on the skill tree can take your next point. A broad, deep sheet of water: a thicker ward on every hero in a wider reach.
