	This is an ok spell. The damage bonus is pretty weak, compared to a similar buff like Mass Haste. The armor bonus is decent though. However, adding armor to your troops is fairly worthless when only 2 or 3 of them are actually being attacked at once as in a typical battle. Especially since you can once again just toss a lategame rock and wipe out most opposing troops. Plus, when the Divine Wizard shows up and blows them all away, the armor bonus isn't so great. Heck, even normal troop mages do significant AoE damage that bypasses armor. Colossus should not be taking troop damage so its of limited utility. It is best when attacking a base since armoring many of your troops is of more benefit to resist the tower attacks.		This is an ok spell.

	I HIGHLY recommend considering Colossus as the creep version of divine wizard. Well, sort of. I was VERY frustrated with Colossus until I figured this out. Tanking was a dismal failure due to no healing or dmg reduction (besides the armor boost buff), as was trying to take advantage of his big damage...he just gets stuck and dies. And he is SO friggin slow and hard to position. Instead, just toss lots of rocks and enjoy your high HPs. There is nothing quite like eating 1k from Atk of Opp from Infiltrator and laughing about it ~~while you drop Tremor to catch her soon as she blinks away~~. Note that your manapool even with an orb of the magi can only barely support Rockslide. Therefore, do not spam your secondary skill or you will be popping lots of clarity pots.

	Late game, your rock can almost wipe out full strength standard troops in one hit! Besides getting tons of cash, this is amazing for base defense or pushing. Remember that your rock does full damage to buildings too! Try to position yourself so you can wipe out troops and hit towers as well. Now, you can team up and kill heroes. When an enemy hero moves close, you can toss Tremor directly behind them. its huge AoE will ensure that hero does not escape quickly, even with a blink. No blink = pwned.

I do not use this skill until about level 21 when its AoE is very large and the move penalty and stun chance is enough to allow you and your team to kill heroes.

	I do not like this skill very much, as the AoE is quite small at first. Heroes are hard to hit with it at first, and 20 seconds is not enough duration to significantly hurt them. This spell does not even pump the Rockslide damage. This spell is not a bad anti-troop debuff, but you can just toss a rock and do significant damage to 2 or 3 times the AoE anyways. Remember, lowering armor such that a troop is killable with 400 damage instead of 600 is really only doing 200 to that troop, times the small number that are actually affected. It is not even close to a good rockslide.<br>		<br>

This is only really effective with a wide target, either a big group of buidings, or a really, really massive spawn buildup. Even then you actually have to aim this. Ideally you want the target to be just behind Gravel where you caste this. Note that the time DECREASES per level, such that overall damage remains about the same.

	This skill is quite useful early game. Since he is so big and slow, it is hard to hit things. Grab a tree early game, and you can "last hit" troops and gain some gold. This is normally difficult, but the Colossusmbo of range, a good attack animation motion, and a huge (but slow) attack make this much more possible. Refresh it when you get a chance, as the range is very valuable even into lategame.		This skill is quite useful early game. Since he is so big and slow, it is hard to hit things.

	An alternative but more boring way to go is to take Heart instead of Tremor. This will be a bit harder on your manapool though, and you lose any chance of getting hero kills except for a lucky rock or buddy's disable.
