History Characters / Dota2IntelligenceAToM

* ArtEvolution: The patch 7.00 update gives him new model.

[[quoteright:256:https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/2/2f/Jakiro_icon.png?version=bc246b0b03775b472c445059eb51b82b]]

[[quoteright:256:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jakiro_3055.png]]

* HarmlessFreezing: ''Ice Path'' is almost literally this with its very little damage next to the stun. ''Dual Breath'' as well: the ice breath slows the targets, but deals no damage at all. Compounded by the fact that the ice breath is released a bit before the fire breath, meaning that it's possible to walk away unscathed from ''Dual Breath'' if the former hit but the latter did not.

* LimitBreak: Lina's passive, ''Fiery Soul'', ramps up her attack and movement speed the more spells she casts. This allows her to actually deal a surprising amount of physical damage for an Intelligence support, letting her build physical damage items such as Daedalus.

* CounterAttack: If Bane has purchased an Aghanim's Scepter, any enemy who tries to land physical right-clicks on Bane while he channels ''Fiend's Grip'' will be hit with ''Nightmare''.

* JackOfAllStats: Unusually, Bane has completely even stats and stat growth, starting off with 22 points in each category, then gaining 2.1 points with each level.

-->'''Bane (after killing Anti-Mage)''': [[http://hydra-images.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/a/a0/Bane_rival_11.mp3 I must have reminded him of someone he hated!]][[note]]Magebane is a playable character in [=HoN=], and is a rough equivalent of Anti-Mage[[/note]]

* CoolHorse

* WeaksauceWeakness: While Chen's creeps can be quite powerful in the right hands, they can become easy prey against abilities that can instantly kill creeps. This means that Chen can become helpless against Hand of Midas, Doom's ''Devour'', Clinkz's ''Death Pact'' (which actually helps Clinkz in this case since the bonus he gains is proportional to the target's current HP, which can be augmented due to ''Holy Persuasion'''s HP bonus), Enigma's ''Demonic Conversion'', and so on. This weakness can be alleviated by getting Aghanim's Scepter, since Ancient creeps are immune to all of these abilities except for Lifestealer's ''Infest'' and a talented ''Devour''.

Crystal Maiden is a ranged Intelligence Hero often considered the quintessential Support Hero, she's fragile by herself and easily interrupted, but her presence can make the difference between victory and defeat, as well as ensuring lane dominance, and she can deliver a good deal of hurt to the enemies rather than just buffing her allies. Her skills are best used in tandem with other Heroes' and she's less than dependent on items to make her support effective. Her first skill, ''Crystal Nova'', is a simple Area-Of-Effect nuke that has her create a burst of ice explosion that damages and slows all enemies in the area, while her second skill, ''Frostbite'', targets an enemy and encases them in ice, immobilizing them for a short period of time. Both skills can be used in tandem of allied heroes' disables and decimate a helpless enemy hero in quick succession. Crystal Maiden is also valued for her third skill, ''Arcane Aura'', which gives her allies global mana regeneration bonuses, while the bonuses are doubled for herself. Her ultimate is called ''Freezing Field'', in which Crystal Maiden stands in place, channelling a spell that calls forth a wide-area blizzard surrounding her and damaging any enemies on the field. While a devastating skill on its own, this spell is easily interrupted with other crowd controls, thus the Crystal Maiden needs to prepare herself with proper items to ensure the spell won't be interrupted and to position herself quickly so many enemies will be caught on the blizzard. Luckily, as a Support hero, the Crystal Maiden is usually not very item-dependent, allowing many situational itemization.

** Potentially also a CovertPervert moment as well. After all, she's asking what Sven looks like under his armor... DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything

* WhatTheHellPlayer: In her Announcer pack, she will call out the player if they pick either Lina (her hated sister), or Lich (fellow ice user that she dislikes)

-->'''Dark Seer (gaining a level):''' [[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/images/e/e6/Dkseer_level_07.mp3 "Did my head just get pointier?"]]

-->Vacuum cooldown rescaled from 28.0 seconds to 28 seconds

* SupportPartyMember: Dark Seer has one of the lowest damage outputs in the game: his right-click is extremely weak, ''Vacuum'' deals almost no damage, while ''Ion Shell'' is very unreliable against heroes. However, his kit offers so much utility and versatility that he's valuable in almost any situation possible.

* DelayedExplosion: ''EMP'' takes 2.9 seconds after casting to activate. Because of this, a good setup skill, usually ''Tornado'', is essential for Invoker to land a good ''EMP''.

** ''Sun Strike'' is this, amongst Invoker's spells. It deals spread out damage over a small area and has a long delay (1,7 seconds), forcing players to predict their victim's movement and assure that no creep wave will come to shield him. But good ''Sun Strike''s can be used to snipe enemies from pretty much everywhere on the map, even near the fountain where they think they're safe.

* IHaveManyNames: Acquired from all the ages he's lived.

-->''The Sol Apex Incantation, forgotten for over nine thousand years, promised its caster the chance to touch the sun, bathe in its blinding glory, and harness its most scalding wrath. Only one would dare be so bold.''

--> '''When denying:''' [[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/images/0/06/Keep_deny_12.mp3 Get off my lawn...eh, what's a lawn?]]

* SuperMode: Ezalor's ultimate, ''Spirit Form'', doesn't boost any of his stats, but instead it grants him access to two new abilities, and upgrades his main damage nuke.

-->''If necessary, the Tormented Soul can manipulate space time itself, ravaging lesser beings.''

* StandardStatusEffects: Besides his nuking power, all of Lich's active spells serve to slow the enemy's attack and movement speed. An enemy hero under the effects of the debuffs from ''Frost Blast'', ''Ice Armor'' and ''Chain Frost'' will have their movement speed slowed by 90% (which is more than enough to guarantee minimum movement speed) and attack speed by 60 (more than a Shiva's Guard).

* WeaksauceWeakness: There are two ways to counter ''Chain Frost'': Either walk into a group of allied or neutral creeps, as they will take some of the bounces, or [[RunOrDie run away from any allied units]], which, done fast enough, may mean the spell won't be able to bounce even once. This means that to get the most use out of the ulti, it is necessary to lock down the targets' movement speed and engage in an area without creeps.

* LimitBreak: Lina's passive, ''Fiery Soul'', ramps up her attack and movement speed the more spells she casts. This allows her to actually deal a surprising amount of physical damage for an Intelligence support.

-->In the scorched barren of Misrule, Lina learned to manipulate the fiery breath of the Desert Wyrm as a form of entertainment.

* BalefulPolymorph: He can do this to his enemies with ''Hex''.

--> '''Lion:''' [[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/images/4/4a/Lion_respawn_01.mp3 "I've been to hell and back, and back to hell…and back."]]
* TranquilFury: For a guy who mentions a lot about wrath and vengeance in his lines, he's quite heldback when he speaks.

* FortuneTeller: Specifically, she fortells death for others. She eventually decided to try find out about her own death.

* EvilIsDeathlyCold

** This is augmented by the fact that ''Spell Steal'' can pierce spell immunity, meaning that even if Enigma activates BKB or Glimmer Cape (which in the case of the latter is still vulnerable to detection), Rubick can still steal it in the 4 second channeling time. Similar principles apply for other spell immunity piercing abilities such as Vengeful Spirit's ''Nether Swap'', Beastmaster's ''Primal Roar'', Clockwerk's ''Hookshot'', and so on. In fact, the only real way for Enigma to be completely safe while channeling his ultimate is to either purchase a Linken's Sphere on top of the BKB or Glimmer Cape, or catch all enemy heroes who can interrupt him through spell immunity.

* TooAwesomeToUse: ''Black Hole'' has '''the''' longest cooldown in the game, 3 minutes at the minimum (beaten only by Bloodstone's active ''Pocket Deny'', Wraith King's level 1 ''Reincarnation'', and only tying with some level 1 ultimates which then become even shorter as they're leveled). This means that Enigma players will frequently be forced to die without casting their ''Black Hole'' because they need it for a major teamfight. It isn't uncommon for an Enigma to build single-target disable items just so that they have an option outside of ''Malefice'', or a Refresher Orb to effectively reduce the cooldown to a maximum of 160 seconds after casting.

** AnIcePerson: ''Quas'' provides extra HP regen while active, and increases the duration and intensity of the debuffs of his spells.
** ShockAndAwe[=/=]BlowYouAway: ''Wex'' grants extra attack and movement speed while active, and buffs his spells' range or area of effect.
** PlayingWithFire: ''Exort'' increases attack damage while active, and Exort-based spells tend to focus on raw damage.

* JackOfAllStats: Because of his massive stock of spells, Invoker can be built to fill almost any utility role that his team needs, whether it's ''Quas-Wex'' for crowd control, ''Wex-Exort'' for pushing and damage output, or ''Quas-Exort'' for single-target damage and pickoffs.

* TornadoMove: ''Tornado'' throws a tornado at the enemy in a straight line, disabling them for a certain amount of time (however many ''Quas'' levels you have). It has an absurdly long range if you level ''Wex'' enough (well beyond visual range starting at 4 levels).

* TeleportInterdiction: ''Recall'' will fail if the target hero takes player damage during the delay, or if [=KotL=] is killed before the spell can be completed.

* NoNameGiven: He was once known as Jin'zakk in the original [=DotA=], but that name was removed when he's included in 2.

* WeaksauceWeakness: While Chen's creeps can be quite powerful in the right hands, they can become easy prey against abilities that can instantly kill creeps. This means that Chen can become helpless against Hand of Midas, Doom's ''Devour'', Clinkz's ''Death Pact'' (which actually helps Clinkz in this case since the bonus he gains is proportional to the target's current HP, which can be augmented due to ''Holy Persuasion'''s HP bonus), Enigma's ''Demonic Conversion'', and so on. This weakness can be alleviated by getting Aghanim's Scepter, since Ancient creeps are immune to all of these abilities except for Lifestealer's ''Infest''.

* StoneWall: After he gets Aghanim's Scepter, Chen can control even Ancient creeps with ''Holy Persuasion''. Though by the time window when he can afford it, they can't do much damage anymore, they are still very hard to kill thanks to their huge HP pool (2300 for the Black Dragon and the Granite Golem, 1700 for the Thunderhide) and spell immunity.

* BlackMage

** CantCatchUp: Like Pugna, Jakiro is one of the least hard carries in the game - because he has a mediocre right-click and his spells don't scale very well in actual damage, he falls off hard around the 25-30 minute mark, so usually he has to end the game before that point.

* BlindedByTheLight[=/=]TemporaryBlindness: ''Blinding Light'' temporarily blinds the affected enemies, causing them to miss 80% of their attacks for 5 seconds.

** WhiteStallion

* RobeAndWizardHat

* ShoutOut: He's named after a MagicTheGathering character, and his ''Diabolic Edict'' spell was named after a [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=397522 spell]] from the same.

* [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]]: To Lion; they are two of the very first heroes in the game (since version 0.60), both are fearsome nukers with an ultimate capable of dealing massive damage to a single target. Compared to Lion, Lina is a better carry, has higher damage output and scales better to the late game, but needs more levels and isn't as good of a disabler.

* [[TheRightHandOfDoom The Left Hand of Doom]]: The demon's hand.

* OneHitPolykill[=/=]SplashDamageAbuse: Due to his ultimate becoming an [=AoE=] targeted spell if an Aghanim's Scepter is purchased, a good grouping spell such as Magnus' ''Reverse Polarity'' or Dark Seer's ''Vacuum'' can allow you to drop your nuke on multiple enemy heroes at once, to say nothing of the short cooldown.

* MadBomber: Batrider seems to be one judging from his responses when he uses his abilities or kills an enemy hero:
-->'''Batrider:''' ''[[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/3/3d/Bat_kill_03.mp3 Roasted, toasted and burned to a crisp.]]''

* PlayingWithFire: His right-click attack and three of his four abilities are fire-based. The one that doesn't directly uses fire drenches foes in napalm.

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Played straight with Invoker, making it an inversion to how the trope is often played in Dota. He is one of the best scaling nukers in the game: while most nukers start off powerful, peak at level 16 with a level 3 ultimate (and Aghanim's Scepter if applicable) and then start to fall off as their damage stops scaling, Invoker's spells scale with levels of his orbs all the way from level 1 to level 25, making him extremely level-dependent but allowing him to remain useful into the late game.

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Played straight with Invoker, making it an inversion to how the trope is often played in Dota. He is one of the best scaling nukers in the game: while most nukers start off powerful, peak at level 16 with a level 3 ultimate (and Aghanim's Scepter if applicable) and then start to fall off as their damage stops scaling, Invoker's spells scale with levels of his orbs all the way from level 2 until level 25, making him extremely level-dependent but allowing him to remain useful into the late game.

* NonStandardSkillLearning: Unlike any other hero in the game, Invoker cannot directly learn his various spells via leveling up; he must first skill the necessary reagents for the spell, then ''Invoke'' them in the correct order to temporarily gain access to that skill. He's also the only hero in the game whose ultimate has 4 levels, one of which is automatically learnt at level 1 without requiring a skill point.

* SomeDexterityRequired: Managing Invoker's spells before level 16 can be (comparatively) straightforward once you learn which reagents are required for certain spells, since there's still at least a 12 second cooldown on ''Invoke'', giving you plenty of time to think about what spell you need next. Once you hit level 16 (or grab an Aghanim's Scepter or Octarine Core after level 11) though, you can essentially barrage the enemy with every single spell you have, since the cooldown on ''Invoke'' shortens down to 5 seconds or less, meaning that you have to be quick with your thinking and key presses in order to make the most of it.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation

* ShoutOut: He's named after a MagicTheGathering character.

* FingerPokeOfDoom: ''Finger of Death''
* FinishingMove: ''Finger of Death'' is often used this way.

* {{Gonk}}

* DifficultButAwesome: ''Shallow Grave'' can be a very powerful spell when used correctly, but using it well is much harder said than done. Holding it for too long or being too far away can result in an ally dying before Dazzle can save them, but casting it too early can result in the spell being wasted (and potentially the ally dying anyway). Leveling up ''Shallow Grave'' allows Dazzle to cast it more often and from longer range, giving him more room for error, but the effect remains the same, and taking it early on results in Dazzle's other spells being less effective.

* MultipleHeadCase: Both heads appear to think individually, and they seem to get along well.

* FaceHeelTurn
* FallenHero

* AdpatationSpeciesChange: Was a troll in [=DotA=], but now can only be described as "the same species as Huskar". Implied to still be a troll however, do to comparisons with Troll Warlord.

* HerdHittingAttack: Inverted and played straight with ''Shadow Wave''. Since each allied unit that is not Dazzle himself can inflict up to 140 Physical damage in an area around themselves when hit with the spell, the damage can be applied multiple times, meaning that if 8 friendly units are standing next to an enemy, that enemy can potentially take up to '''''840 Physical damage''' from a single cast'', before even factoring in ''Weave''. And since it's an [=AoE=] spell, this damage can potentially be applied to multiple enemies, every 6 seconds.
* LastChanceHitPoint: ''Shallow Grave'' places a 5 second buff on an ally that prevents their HP from going below 1. There are only three ways for a target to die under ''Shallow Grave'': being hit by Axe's ''Culling Blade'', activating ''Suicide Squad, Attack!'' as Techies, or denying yourself with Bloodstone.

* MutualDisadvantage: Against Axe. On one hand, Axe is the only hero in the game that can forcibly ignore Dazzle's ''Shallow Grave'' with his ultimate ''Culling Blade''. On the other hand, Dazzle can crush Axe in the lane, and Axe is very susceptible to ''Shadow Wave'' because of his playstyle, which involves blinking or rushing into a group of enemies and pin them down with ''Berserker's Call'' - the perfect opportunity for a ''Shadow Wave''. ''Weave'' also hurts Axe hard, as it boosts enemy armor, weakening ''Counter Helix'', while reducing his armor, which really hurts a tanky hero like him. In a game with both Axe and Dazzle, Axe can't aggro out a lane and Dazzle has to juggle more variables in mid-late game team fights. Axe has to jungle or even safe/mid and starts being a bully much later then he would like to. However if Axe safely jungles a Blink Dagger then it's tough for Dazzle, so he doesn't straight up win because his kit becomes slightly diminished in that scenario for nought. A well played Axe can make Dazzle useless and a well played Dazzle can really make Axe cry.

* BlackMage: Except for ''Ghost Walk'' and ''Alacrity'', 8 out of Invoker's 10 spells are offensive to some degree.

* GenderBlenderName: In Myth/GreekMythology, Atropos was a female name.

** Subverted in that for the most part, actual combos aren't really difficult to land, especially when compared to say, Pudge. Most of them just consist of "Shoot these two skills right after eachother at the same location", such as his bread-and-butter combos of each build.

** AnIcePerson: ''Quas'' grants bonus strength and provides extra HP regen while active, and increases the duration and intensity of the debuffs of his spells.
** ShockAndAwe[=/=]BlowYouAway: ''Wex'' grants bonus agility and provides extra attack and movement speed while active, and buffs his spell's range or area of effect.
** PlayingWithFire: ''Exort'' grants bonus intelligence and provides extra damage while active, and tends to focus on raw damage.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite his constant claims of being ''the'' smartest, his actual intelligence is unremarkable, largely getting by through memorization -- and even that can fail if you fuck up the spell combinations.

* PlanarShockwave: When all elements are at least level 7 (either at level 24 or less with Aghanim's Scepter), ''Deafening Blast'' becomes a massive circular explosion.

* SquishyWizard[=/=]GlassCannon: On top of his relatively mediocre Strength and Agility gain, Invoker is incapable of getting attribute bonuses since each of his three reagents can be leveled 7 times, and his ultimate 4 (other heroes level their three abilities 4 times each and their ultimate 3 times, with 10 levels left over for stats). This means that despite each reagent passively giving him stat bonuses each time they're leveled, at level 25 he has three less stat levels than every other hero, which adds up.
** Interestingly, though, this also makes Invoker stronger early-game if the proper reagents are leveled, since each reagent level gives him a small stat bonus in that category. An Invoker who maxes out ''Quas'' as his primary reagent can be surprisingly tanky since he'll have the equivalent of seven Strength stat bonuses before level 15, which is the first level at which most other heroes start leveling stats.

* SummonMagic: ''Forge Spirits'' summons a minion to fight alongside you. Having more than four levels in both ''Quas'' and ''Exort'' will summon two of them instead of one.

** NatureIsNotNice: He represents the complete indifference of nature.

* ActionGirl: Of both sides, her nukes and auto-attack can be very potent killing tools, so Lina can sometimes do carry roles.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Was a troll in Dota 1, but changed to an unidentified species for Dota 2, though he still bears a strong resemblance to a troll.

* ExplosionPropulsion: Enemies hit by ''Flamebreak'' are ministunned and knocked out from the point of impact.

* AdpatationSpeciesChange: Was a troll in Dota 1, but now can only be described as "the same species as Huskar". Implied to still be a troll however, do to comparisons with Troll Warlord.

* NatureHero[=/=]NatureSpirit: Aiushtha herself as well as her ''Nature's Attendants''.

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Her lower half is that of a doe.

* AnimeHair: Two of Invoker's Immortals, the Magus Apex and the second style of the Dark Artistry Hair, big manes of spiky, blond, glowing, gravity-defying hair.

* ShoutOut: His death animation is very similar to [[Series/DoctorWho timelord regeneration]].

* HumanResources: Lich's ''Sacrifice'' ability allows him to instantly kill a friendly creep and convert a percentage of its current HP into mana for him, as well as converting it into experience for any hero (regardless of team) within the XP gain radius. This means that casting it on a creep while no enemy heroes are nearby will generate mana for him and XP for only friendly heroes. Lich is infamous for being one of the best laning supports in the game because of this ability to guaranteed deny 25% of all gold in a lane just by being there. And played smartly, it can be used to essentially ''steal'' XP from the other team. With enough mana regeneration (or frequent use of ''Sacrifice''), Lich can afford to perpetually cast ''Ice Armor'' on himself and his teammates upon being attacked (albeit with a minor cooldown) with no major downsides, providing a sizable defensive boost for any nearby allies.

* SomeDexterityRequired: Microing Chen? Easy enough. Microing Chen and an army of creeps, all with different abilities, while trying to keep everyone alive and getting maximum mileage out of all those abilities ''and'' keeping an eye on the minimap to decide when to drop ''Hand of God''? Considerably more difficult.

* ActionGirl: Even if she's more a bonafide support hero, she has a lot of damaging utilities and might even score a kill if she's not setting it up herself, especially if she's left alone executing Freezing Field.

* SupportPartyMember: Dark Seer has one of the lowest damage outputs in the game: his right-click is extremely weak, ''Vacuum'' deals almost no damage, and ''Ion Shell'''s damage quickly falls off mid- and late-game, basically being reduced to a farming tool. However, his kit offers so much utility and versatility that he's valuable in almost any situation possible.

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack

* [[AcrophobicBird Acrophobic Dragon]]: In the same vein as Viper, he actually does fly, but is treated as a ground unit in-game.

* MutualDisadvantage: Lich has ''no'' control over ''Chain Frost'' after it launches, so unless he has an Aghanim's Scepter, heroes with summoned creeps can take much of the bite off his ultimate by having [[WeHaveReserves much of the damage be taken by them instead]]. On the other hand, after he gets Scepter, it becomes much more difficult to split your minions up, because they can no longer eat the bounces for you.

* StopHelpingMe: ''Tornado'' gives the enemy invincibility for the duration of the spell, and unlike most such effects, hits a large area. Invoker setting up ''his'' combo with ''Tornado'' can often completely screw up everyone else's combo as they drop their stuns and nukes into the ground while their targets are blown above. [[FridgeBrilliance Makes sense considering how self-centered Invoker himself is]].

* TornadoMove[=/=]StatusBuffDispel: ''Tornado'' throws a tornado at the enemy in a straight line, disabling them for a certain amount of time (however many ''Quas'' levels you have). It has an absurdly long range if you level ''Wex'' enough (well beyond visual range starting at 4 levels), and can remove buffs similar to Eul's Scepter of Divinity.

* SomeDexterityRequired

* SupportPartyMember: Dark Seer has one of the lowest damage outputs in the game: his right-click is extremely weak, ''Vacuum'' deals almost no damage while ''Ion Shell'''s damage quickly fall off mid- and late-game, basically being reduced to a farming tool; but his kit offers so much utility and versatility that he's valuable in almost any situation possible.

* DeathSeeker

* VoiceOfTheLegion: Most of his lines are meant to sound like two people speaking at once.

* AdpatationSpeciesChnage: Was a troll in Dota 1, but now can only be described as "the same species as Huskar".

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Although his backstory is usually interpreted as WasOnceAMan, his in-game dialogue and several other details in his backstory seem to suggest he was a creature similar to Enchantress before his change into the embodiment of nature's dark side.

* WasOnceAMan: Leshrac used to be a normal philosopher before his transformation into the Tormented Soul.

* EldritchAbomination

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks fairly human except for his yellow skin, pointy ears and very ugly face.

* TheArtifact: If you're wondering why Chen is the only "Knight" that isn't a Strength hero, it's because he ''was'' a Strength hero before patch 6.15 reimagined him from a Strength carry that could take over a single wave of creeps as a LimitBreak to a creep-control centered Intelligence sSupport.
