Master the Secrets of DOTA2: Comprehensive Analysis of Common Terms (Essential for Beginners: Unveiling the Mysterious World of DOTA2 Terms)

Master the Secrets of DOTA2: Comprehensive Analysis of Common Terms (Essential for Beginners: Unveiling the Mysterious World of DOTA2 Terms) Many players of DOTA2 are often confused by the terms used in the game. In DOTA2, there are many terms, but beginners may not be familiar with them. Now let me briefly explain some common terms in DOTA2 for everyone.

First, let’s take a look at some common words: Void, Summon, Void (referred to as heroes in DOTA).

Void Art

Void Art is a commonly used term by Void during laning phase in DOTA2. Summoners often refer to Void as Void Art.

Within the concept of DPS (Damage Per Second), Void is a tank class in the game. During team fights, Void usually charges to the front to protect the fragile backline output heroes. However, in terms of DPS, Void is a magic tank.

Summon

Usually refers to summoning skeletons as the main means of attack, or summoning a wild monster as the main source of output. The summoned creatures are commonly known as “Little Black” and “Blue Fat”.

In DOTA1, summoners could summon heroes with high burst damage like Wraith King and Juggernaut. However, in DOTA2, summoners can summon heroes with control effects or healing abilities, but the summoned summons are relatively low-level, such as Slardar, Troll Warlord, Lich, and Lina.

Summoners

Summoners usually refer to these summons as “big eyes” or “milk”. In DOTA1, summoners usually referred to them as Slimes and Gargoyles. However, in DOTA2, summoners usually refer to them as “Goblin Babies” (also known as Pig Girls), and the summoned pets are generally meat shields and output heroes with strong abilities.

Void

Void is a type of magic staff equipment. In DOTA1, Void is a support class in the game. In the later stages of the team, the main role of Void is to assist teammates, create more advantages for the team, and play a crucial role in team fights.

Summoners

Summoners usually refer to these “cannon fodders” as items. In DOTA1, the summoner’s skills were calculated based on the hero’s skills. For example, Naga Siren mainly had Aura, while Void’s positioning was output and healing. Therefore, these summoners are usually magic-type summoners. Therefore, when using these summoner’s skills, you must clearly identify the profession of the character you are using, so that you can better play your role.

Essential for Beginners: Unveiling the Mysterious World of DOTA2 Terms

Today, I will take you into the world of terms in DOTA2. For some veteran players, their understanding of the game may be unfamiliar, but when they enter the world of Dota2, they will find that the various gameplay and terms of the game have changed a lot.

In DOTA2, heroes are divided into melee, ranged, and magic types. The attack range of magic and physical heroes is relatively short, while melee heroes have even shorter attack range. They are often used for solo fights or team fights, while ranged heroes are mostly ranged and melee heroes. These terms are often used to describe players using various skills in the game, whether it is attacking enemies, escaping, chasing, etc., making many novice players feel uncomfortable. Therefore, I will provide a detailed analysis and introduction of DOTA2 terms for everyone.

【Name of the Hero】

From the above picture, we can see that the name of the hero is mainly composed of two parts: “Phantom Assassin” and “Wraith King”.

The representative characters of “Phantom Assassin” are “Wraith King”, “Death Prophet”, and “Shadow Shaman”, while “Death Prophet” represents “Crystal Maiden”, “Tidehunter”, and “Kunkka”.

The two heroes of “Bloodseeker” and “Death Prophet” are melee types and mainly rely on fast charges on the battlefield. In the game, the positioning of “Bloodseeker” tends to be a tank with a meat shield.

【Meaning of Attack and Damage Calculation Formula】

1. Hero’s Attack Method

The main damage method of heroes in the game is “normal attacks + skills”.

2. Hero’s Attack Method

The main damage method of heroes in the game is “normal attacks + skills”, and the frequency of hero’s skill release is influenced by the levels and equipment of both heroes.

3. Hero’s Normal Skills

The main normal skills of heroes in the game refer to the instant damage after the skill is casted, that is, the hero’s normal damage. During the skill casting, the hero can move freely and cannot be interrupted.

4. Frequency of Hero’s Skill Release

The frequency of heroes’ ultimate skills in the game is influenced by the levels and equipment of both heroes. The hero’s ultimate skill needs to be within the cooldown time, and the hero’s level and equipment are also affected. Therefore, the hero’s normal attack damage is very high and has the ability of area attack.

【How to Improve Your Hero】

The level, equipment, and skills of heroes are limited by “experience points” and “gold” in the game. With the continuous increase of level, the experience that heroes can obtain will also increase, and after leveling up, the hero’s skills will also be enhanced.

【How to Check Your Hero’s Level】

In the hero attribute interface, players can check the heroes they already own and upgrade and advance their equipment, levels, and gold.

【How to Upgrade Hero’s Skills】

The skills of heroes in the game are divided into active skills and passive skills.

Active skills refer to the skills triggered by heroes in combat, such as enemy heroes using skills like “Mana Void,” heroes using skills like “Drain Life,” heroes using skills like “Healing Wave,” and heroes using “Berserk Mode” (improving skill damage). Heroes’ active skills can be applied by clicking on the skill icon (consuming skill points).

Passive skills refer to the “passive skills” state of heroes, such as the increase in heroes’ attributes such as health and armor.

【How to Obtain Skill Upgrade Materials】

In Dota2 battles, in addition to the hero’s own attributes and equipment, the hero’s level increase is also achieved through the accumulation of “skill points”.
