What Does Hero Bowler Do?

Hero Bowler's ability is Stone Swish. After planting his feet and remaining still for a short delay, he enters a siege mode for several seconds: his attack range extends well beyond his usual 4 tiles, letting him throw boulders from across most of the arena, and he gains a temporary boost to his attack speed on top of it.

During that window, each boulder still deals area damage on impact, so he keeps his signature ability to hit groups of troops while also threatening the tower directly from a distance most other troops can't match.

What does Stone Swish do?

Bowler plants his feet and, after a short delay, enters a siege mode for several seconds where his range extends well past his normal 4 tiles and he throws several area-damage boulders with a brief hit-speed boost.

Can Hero Bowler hit towers from across the arena during Stone Swish?

Yes. The extended range during the ability lets him threaten towers from a much greater distance than his normal attack range allows.
