Tactical Information

Ents go to War deals good AoE damage and is best used right after Cracked Earth. Its animation is incredibly long, though, so when you are focused on dealing damage quickly, you should interrupt the animation of this skill with Light of the Rising Dawn.

Lore

This skill was inspired by the story of the War of the Ring, in which the ents eventually decide to pick sides and march upon Isengard, home of the fallen wizard Saruman:

"We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!"
