Thornweaver

Thorns reflect damage and roots enemies in place — the forest fights back.

"Strike me and bleed. Strike again and die."

What Changes at Level 10

When a Druid reaches level 10 and you select Thornweaver, three things change permanently:

1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Entangle).
3. Passive effect is unlocked and becomes active in all future runs.

Ability: Entangle

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Thornweaver grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Druid base scores:

• +2 Spirit — adds to the Druid base spirit score
• +1 Toughness — adds to the Druid base toughness score

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Passive Effect

Reflects 30% of incoming damage back to the attacker.

This passive is always active during combat — no gear or skill tree investment required to trigger it.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes

Defense (Second Wind, Living Fortress, Iron Wall), Chaos (Pain Reversal for reflect combo).

See the Skill Tree deep dive for the full 120-node reference and routing advice, or the Druid build guide for a complete path recommendation for this class.

Thornweaver vs. Shapeshifter

Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

Set an Archetype with Thornweaver as the guild standard for Druid — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
