Crosscurrent Cast
Cast the small chained anchor onto a warned patch and drive enemies briefly along your chosen direction.
Leave the compact warning patch or approach from a direction where the shove helps you escape. A creep cannot drag you to Reef, because this cast never reels in a unit.

Undertow Clamp
Prime the anchor for your next normal hit on an enemy hero. A successful hit temporarily shortens that hero’s attack reach, forcing them to commit closer.
Keep Reef outside melee reach until the armed window expires, evade the attack, dispel the clamp, close distance to regain valid reach, or use spells. Normal lock loss before the damage point may withhold an unreleased hit; the committed cycle still finishes.

Abyssal Mooring
Moor enemies caught by one warned anchor impact. A hero already carrying your reach clamp is rooted for a long hold; every caught hero also receives a longer, breakable tether slow.
Dispel the earlier melee clamp before impact or leave the warned circle. Rooted targets can still attack and use non-mobility spells/items. A strong ally dispel, allied displacement beyond 500 cm, or killing Reef ends the long hold.
- Cooldown
- 135s / 125s / 115s
- Cost

- Tether slow
- 25 / 30 / 35% for 6 / 7 / 8 s; basic-dispellable; snaps if target moves beyond 500 cm from fixed anchor. No recapture or periodic refresh.
