Dark Swarm: Summons a swarm with a 350 radius that deals magic damage (max of 80 damage/second) and reduces all incoming damage from anything not standing within it.
Terrorform: Creates a mound with a 400 sight radius that gives Tremble invisibility, bonus movement speed, and health regeneration. Tremble can teleport between mounds.
Impalers: Passive that reduces movement speed on the target and allows Tremble to deal up to 20 bonus damage and heal 20 health on attack. 2 second cooldown per target.
Hive Mind: Summons Shudder, a minion that can travel freely at any range from Tremble, summon mounds and teleport to them, can cast a ranged immobilize, and has a passive that applies an armor debuff on attack that also affects towers and buildings.

Looking at these skill previews, one thing that stands out is the sheer number of buff and debuff effects that Tremble has at his disposal. Like most Agility heroes, he lacks a hard disable, but seemingly has a little of everything else. Terrorform gives him a lot of mobility, his slow and negative armor passives give him semi-carry potential, and Dark Swarm is both AoE damage and a defensive skill in one. Of course, using Tremble and Shudder effectively is going to require a bit more micromanagement than the average hero.
Being a difficult hero to fight 1-on-1, along with his passive health regen on mounds, will make Tremble a strong solo hero. He'll be able to gank other lanes quickly by teleporting between mounds.
For any DotA players, there are obvious comparisons between Tremble and Broodmother. Terrorform is almost exactly like Broodmother's Webs, and both heroes have a passive slow. It's a nice tribute to the original spider hero.
Looking forward to playing Tremble in the new patch on Friday?
