• The ice shards are always created in the same formation.
  • The shards` formation is a 200 radius circle with one open side, the center of the circle is 200 range before the targeted point.

  • The next shards are placed 40₰ further to the left and the right respectively, up to 7 shards. 9 shards would make a full circle.
  • So the open side of the shards circle is always facing towards Tusk`s position upon cast.
  • The shards` collision radius is approximately 67, the distance between them is about 6, which is too small for any unit to move through.

• Units not controlled by any player do not try to path around the shards, but simply walk against them as if they are not there.
  • This effectively causes them to get stuck until they change directions (e.g. when aggro-ing them).
