Dota 2 Heroes

Heroes

Heroes are the essential element of Dota 2, as the course of the game is dependent on their intervention. Players are split into two teams of 5, and can select a Hero from a selection panel. Heroes all have different play styles that stem from unique Skills and combinations ofAttributes. Over the course of the game, Heroes will accumulate Experience. Once a Hero has enough experience, they will level up, making them more powerful than before and allowing them to train new Skills. Most Heroes have a distinct Role that defines how they can affect the battlefield, though many Heroes can perform two or more of these Roles. Currently, 74 of the 108 heroes are playable in the main Dota 2 client.
