Channeling can't be stopped by move command, however it can be cancelled via stop command and casting another ability.
* Zoro will move to the direction in front of him. To use this skill properly make sure that your hero is facing the targeted point directly.
* Since Zoro stands still while channeling this skill, this ability is very easily predictable. Try to stay out of focus before casting it.
* If Zoro gets under any sort of hard crowd control effects(any stun, bind etc.) while channeling, channeling will stop immediately and Zoro will move forward after the CC effect ends.
* This ability is most useful in early game for farming big camps.

## Strategy

### Tips:

* Zoro's early and mid game is pretty strong. Try to be very aggresive at that point. Harass the enemy to hell and leave kills to your more farm dependant comrades if possible.

### Synergy/Counters:

* Any sort of hard crowd control destroys Zoro.
