War Cry
Warrior skill · Command line · tier 1
A shout that straightens his back and gives the warrior back the breath the last blow took.
It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 14 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Command skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value × 1.83 (× 3.76 for a self heal); how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
