If you want to have your nukers dish out as much damage as they can early on it may be beneficial by placing them in an area where you know you will be attacked. However it is important to know that when your units take damage, they increase their mana pool faster. If you know that the enemy team has a bunch of “Assassins”, it may behoove you to put some “Warriors” or “Brawny” units in the back. However, as I continue to play, I notice that position can be the difference between a loss and a win, much like items. MOM only silences active powers.Īt first I noticed little how positioning would impact the game. In other words a mask of madness (Commonly known as a MOM in Dota) will increase your heroes effectiveness as the silence does not impact their passive. The passive is always “Active” and cannot be turned off (unless they add an item that does so). A mask of madness for example can be great on a hero like Drow or Antimage who has a passive. I added them too my “Warrior” class, Axe, Slardar and Pudge, and was able to effectively win the game by eliminating the “Hunters” and “Mages” that typically are in back.Ĭhanging items around your heroes can be the difference between a win and a loss. I once got lucky and was able to select 3 blink daggers. This is because the hero with the blink dagger will blink to the farthest opponent in game, much like the “Assassin” class. A blink dagger on an Axe can allow you to either eliminate or buy time. If you believe that your opponents may use ranged heroes or nukers, it may behoove you to pick up a blink dagger. You can read about all of the Dota 2 Items when you go into the Season Info tab either in the “settings” while in game, or at the main Menu at the “Beta Season tab”. In other words, you could add Drow to a “Warrior” army and have it be paired with a Lycan due to him being able to take his human form. However, Valve had added a Global Ability “Item” that allows “Humans” to take form of “Heartless”.

However it requires 6 for the full effect. At this moment there are only 5 “Heartless” Hero types. Items can make or break your army and/ or build a strategy.

Or perhaps you need a silence and you choose Doom (though his cast is usually random and is on a single target). It may be worth breaking up “Like Heroes” to be replaced with a Hero that has an ability that causes a stun. Kunkka has his Ghostship, his ultimate from Dota. If your familiar with Dota, Tidehunter in Underlords, has taken his ultimate ability “Ravage” This causes both damage as well as allowing you to stun all enemy heroes within a given area. Drow has a passive ability that increases her allies attack speed in the cells around her. Why you ask? Well all heroes have an ability, some are passive where as others are active. Just because you have a level 3 Windranger, that does not necessarily make it more valuable than a single 1 star (No combination) Tidehunter or Sandking. So all though someone may have 3 star heroes early on does not mean you cannot catch up depending on your own heroes/ units. However, Drow would only cost you 9 gold. If you were to combine Windranger to the max level it would cost you 27 gold. This is because the gold cost of a Windranger is 3 gold where as Drow is 1 gold. I imagine the Windrunner/ Windranger would be significantly better. If you were to compare a level 3 Windrunner/Windranger) to a level 3 Drow. The higher the gold the more “valuable” the hero. The stars will now be gold.Īt the beginning you will most likely see heroes that cost both 1 gold and 2 gold. 3 Combinations of level 2 star heroes will create a level 3 hero.

Essentially, 3 of the same Hero will combine it to a level 2 (2 Stars).


Now, the game will tell you how many of the same hero you have and glow “Blue” when you can combine. Initially, this was a little more confusing as there were no prompts. Should you have any questions you can find me in Steam or you can do so in the comments section of this page. Hey all and welcome to my Dota Underlords Guide, in this you will find some basic tips as well as some more advanced techniques for improving your game.
