How to use Thornweaver
Best position: front.
Strike, Mend and Riposte are all available from level 1, so it is useful as soon as you find it.
Riposte only works while it has armor, so any extra armor from your champion or Altars helps twice over.
Thorn Aura at level 3 deals 1 magical damage to any enemy that hits any of your heroes in melee. It adds up against packs.
