Dunshan's kit

Dunshan is a tank support released on October 21, 2026, usually played as a roamer next to the Farm Lane. His passive, Moving Mountain, adds physical damage to his basic attacks, and while Bastion is active his attacks become ranged area hits that slow; holding the attack button charges and aims them. Bastion is his signature skill: cast on a teammate, he dashes to them and both get a shield, then the teammate steers both heroes; cast on an allied tower or its ruins, he merges into a turret that cannot be targeted and recovers health. Collision Course charges forward, tosses enemy heroes behind him and stuns on landing. His ultimate, Allshield, raises a huge shield that gives brief crowd-control immunity, knocks back and slows, then moves forward and blocks projectiles. Against Dunshan, punish the carry he protects from an angle his shield does not cover.
