Jumping in to dota 2 7.21d2/29/2024 Does high damage on a very low cooldown. Use Q on an enemy creep to buff up your attack speed when pushing towers as well. You can also use it to move between camps and lanes quicker. When the laning phase is coming to a close you can comfortably use this spell on neutrals and creep waves to increase your farming speed. Also use it when you can to harass the enemy, with a blight stone you can do considerable damage. When you cast this spell you can generally attack 2-3 times for their 1 attack. Use it to take their attack speed so they can't last hit - prioritise using it when they go for their ranged creep. Use this spell during the laning phase to ensure you get last hits and denies against the enemy mid. Decreases attack and movement speed of the enemy target. Increases attack and movement speed of you and your familiars. He will become very durable, and will provide your allies with some powerful auras, utility and lock downs. He does, however, scale well in terms of utility. Visage doesn't scale well in terms of damage, not in the same way a Shadow Fiend or Templar Assassin does. Based on my stats however, I'd say the hero does have peak potential before the 45min mark. There may be some truth to this statement but let me assure you I've had success on this hero at all stages in the game. Visage is infamous for not scaling well into the late game, and it makes people feel like there's a bit of a timer when playing this hero. The hero benefits very strongly from Auras, as they strengthen his Summmons and synergise well with his Gravekeepers Cloak and playstyle. His two core items Medallion of Courage and Helm of the Dominator makes him incredibly good at sieging towers and taking Roshan. Visage is a very powerful Objective taker. This makes him quite versatile in how he wants to build, his talents and item choices can also influence how these damage ratios are split. Visages overall game damage is usually a 50/50 split between his Summons (Physical Damage) and his Nuking Spell (Magic Damage). Visage is a one of those unique heroes in that a lot of his damage not done directly by his hero, but his Summons (Birds). My win rate is sitting close to 58% for the hero now - with most of my games in solo ranked (Ancient 7). I never intended on developing a guide, but the data I collected in my tracking tool ended up feeding quite nicely into a Guide. I used this data to generate graphs to see how I performed and improved, and to see if I could detect any patterns which I could utilise to increase my chances of winning. I maintained these notes in a Spreadsheet, where I also tracked all my metrics such as GPMs, KDAs, CS, Damage, Match Duration, etc. The approach involved taking notes after each game, and thinking critically on what I should have done differently to get a win. At the time of writing this I've played around 110 Visage games and have taken a very proactive approach to understanding and improving on this hero. My obsession with Visage is only recent, I played him once in the first 7 years of my Dota life, but now within the last 2 months he's become one of my most played heroes. I will be using Acronyms and making assumptions that the reader has some previous knowledge of Spells, Items and Basic Gameplay Concepts. I would say that players between the Archon and Divine ranks will benefit. I'm going to preface this guide by saying that this is not a beginner guide. Go for quality of summons, over quantity. Focus on strengthening and enabling your Minions as much as you can with Auras, Heals and Lockdown. Visage has 7 Minions - 2 Birds, 1 Neutral Creep and 4 Ally Heroes.
