Top 10 Greatest DotA Heroes

Traxex is the first hero I've come to master. I've used lots of different item combinations (some outside of the guides) and know what to use in each situation. She is super easy to play with and really OP in the right hands.

Her Chill Wind + Frost Arrows + 3rd and 4th abilities are devastating combinations. And when I have Desolator, Shadow Blade, and Daedalus, I am BEYOND GODLIKE.

Be careful early in the game, she dies fairly quickly, especially against other ranged heroes like Windranger and Sniper. Once you get to level 6, it's easy to gank. Communicate with your teammates. Let one initiate and attack a little bit, and when the hero is retreating, gank from behind or the side with a Chill Wind. Launch those Frost Arrows and they are dead. It's especially good in 2v2 if you Chill Wind both enemy heroes - you kill one, and your teammate the other, or you can damage both so your teammate can kill them. This is what I do when I have low health. Plus, the Frost Arrows' slow movement effect can slow them down from running away enough for your teammate to get a kill. BEST HERO EVER.

The best hero because he deals huge damage to his opponents but has no force early in the game due to his low HP at the start. With Shadow Blade, Desolator, and Requiem of Souls, you can destroy any opponent, even the mighty Ursa!

I like this hero because, with his Raze, I can kill many heroes, and Necromastery adds extra damage. His third skill is good for lowering their armor, and last of all, Requiem. If you have a Shadow Blade, just activate it and go next to your enemy hero and kaboom, their life is surely reduced, and that's the time you need to use your Raze.

Awesome, he can take down any hero within seconds late in the game. His damage is incredible, and if you get the right items, his attack speed and damage are the best.

He may be weak during the early game, but in the late game with Eul's, Sunstrike, and Chaos Meteor combo, he can literally smash an enemy within seconds. He can also drain mana on STR heroes and kill them with EMP + Deafening Blast + Chaos Meteor. In short, he can smash any hero.

The most powerful spell-caster assassin, with his usable skills, he can both kill from a far distance, and nobody can hurt him because they died before they could reach him with his Cold Snap and Ice Wall.

He's got it all: stuns, slows, nukes, damage, sustain, disables, crowd control, global presence. You seem to never run out of options while playing him, but his high skill cap prevents him from being a broken pub stomper. Overall, very fun to play.

Axe is my best hero. Just build him with the right items (2 Vanguards, Phase Boots, Battle Fury, Heart of Tarrasque, and Helm of the Dominator) and he's unstoppable.

Axe is the best! Axe can instantly kill an enemy if the enemy's health is below 600 with Culling Blade.

For me, Axe is great for his passive and for that powerful ultimate. He is also a good tanker.

Pudge, the Butcher, is one of the most difficult heroes to play effectively but also one of the most rewarding. His Meat Hook skill is extremely deadly but also difficult to utilize. A well-placed Meat Hook will snag an enemy hero and drag them to the Butcher, dealing a lot of damage along the way.

Love you, Pudge.

Meat Hook, Rot, and Fresh Meat together make an unbeatable combo. Pudge is one of the few heroes that is strong both at the start and the end. With proper use of his hook, every other hero would look bad.

PUDGE FOR LIFE!

Pudge... You can never say too much or too little about him. High health is his best part, so Rot can barely affect him. Get him a Force Staff or Blink because he is apparently quite slow. He is really good to use and easy for first blood.

For me, Darkterror is the best hero in DotA with a great set of skills, especially his signature Chronosphere, which will surely be a killer to those opposing heroes, combined with a good set of items like Mask of Madness, Cranium Basher, etc.

Darkterror is one of the best heroes in DotA because he can kill and secure first blood due to his item, Mask of Madness. He can execute a combo: Time Walk then the Chrono. That's why I pick Terror.

The best killer in DotA. Attack with his third skill for stun. And a 5-second Chrono to kill INT heroes.

He has Berserker's Blood to help him change a loss into a win... Plus, with his Life Break, he can easily slow down enemies' speed, and half of the enemy's life will be gone. He can easily get first blood at level 6 and become unstoppable by level 10 and above. Items for him are cheap and effective... With certain items, Roshan can be defeated easily at level 14 and above. Then, dying for Huskar will be hard... That's why I choose Huskar for Dota battles.

Huskar is easily the most overpowered hero in Dota if used efficiently. He is all about making sacrifices of himself, which relatively affects his deaths in a game. Yet, he is a team player and can solo mid. Being the best carry and an easy hero, he can win matches for his team. HUSKAR for the win!

Huskar is the best among the best for 1v1. So far, I can say that no one can beat Huskar in a 1v1. Get the Helm of the Dominator, Urn, Treads, and Magic Stick, and launch the Life Break at any hero and watch them die... only if you're a noob then you cannot play Huskar. Don't mess with the bad guy!

Better watch out, here comes the wolf from the jungle. Flanking people is ridiculous with his wolf pack and transformation.

I like it! He was my favorite hero! Come on, try to use him! He can kill other heroes so easily when transformed into the ultimate wolf!

He should be the best because his attack speed and strength are so remarkable when he turns into a wolf... So cool... So awesome.

Chaos Knight has a complete skill set: a disabling + damage Chaos Bolt, the Reality Rift with serious damage and ganking potential, and a 275% Critical for serious damage (his base damage is pretty big). Phantasm. Just pure awesomeness. All illusions do what you do, except for Chaos Bolt, which deals full damage for half the stun duration you get. The dude is just a hard ganker, not a hard carry though. But he can kill most hard carries. Well, Earthshaker can be annoying though, really annoying. Haha!

I think Nessaj should be number 1. He is like the best hero in Dota. I think no one votes for Nessaj because only a pro can play this hero.

He has the highest starting movespeed. He is very strong with his illusions, with the critical strike. He must be at 1, 2, or 3 place because he can kill Jah'rakal easily with illusions in one Chaos Bolt. And I don't think he is in 38th place.

By level 3, he can already take down Roshan by using Earthshock, Fury Swipes, and Overpower. He is a true killer in 1-on-5 games. If there's any Dota hero I'd choose, it would be Ursa. But sometimes, he's banned because he is just too awesome.

Using his Earthshock along with Overpower really makes us 'Godlike'. Enrage also puts him on top of all the heroes of DotA. Provide him with an Abyssal Blade, a Shiva's Guard, and a Shadow Edge, and leave the rest to him.

His awesome speed can also make a difference.

Choose him once, and you will never think of another hero.

This guy should be first! What?! With his amazing attack speed, he is the best! Why Troll Warlord? He sucks! Ursa can eliminate him in 5 seconds! Ursa rules!

I like Barathrum. With Mask of Madness, Power Treads, and Crystallis, you will be able to make a kill in 4 seconds. Barathrum is an awesome hero, and with proper items, he is unstoppable.

Because he runs fast, sometimes it's cool.

With Mask of Madness, Power Treads, and Crystalys, you will be able to make a kill in 4 seconds. Barathrum is an awesome hero, and with proper items, he is unstoppable.

A good runner, good bash, good charge, good haste, good strike, good for the team, good to make a kill, good strength, and good Madness!

Literally the highest damage output in the game. Can dish out like 600+ pure damage per hit if he isn't already dead.

Great late-game damage with his Q, an awesome ultimate for wrecking Strength and Agility heroes, and almost unlimited mana for spamming capabilities!

One Butterfly, one Manta Style, and one Satanic. With these three items, no hero will be able to defeat Luna. Not even if Troll Warlord has six Divine Rapiers. He can't win. Seriously, go test it out.

Butterfly, Bloodstone, Satanic, and Abyssal Blade: A killer combo for Luna who can take on multiple heroes at a time. Her ultimate is super strong, and with Aghanim's Scepter, it can deal 1800 damage to two different heroes each.

This hero is awesome for killing other heroes!

Kardel is the best in long-range appearances. I know that he is weak, but he can also finish the job. That's why I chose him over Drow Ranger, and I want you all to use Kardel because he has great skills (especially with his last skill), and I know he is slow at speed.

Fragile yet very strong and precise, as the name suggests. He's easy to play but hard to master. Only a true DotA player can use him at his fullest potential.

My advice is to hit fast and hard. Be polite, efficient, and professional. Never kill steal. Assassinate.

He's the best hero I have ever seen. His levels are really awesome. His level 1 deals much damage in IMBA, and he can go very far with high damage. His level 3 allows him to shoot faster. Later, he can even target the tower alone without the tower seeing him. You better change your mind to love him.

Dragon Knight can be powerful, with Dragon's Blood allowing him to last long against heroes and towers. His Elder Dragon Form makes him powerful, mostly against towers. Using Dragon Tail to stun the enemy hero when it tries to run is good, but when in Elder Dragon Form and against a hero, it's just GODLIKE!

Great carry, can stay in lane forever, transform into a giant dragon, and EAT YOUR FACE! Great for burst damage. This hero is for me. Can fill any role, really a versatile hero.

Dragon Knight can be anything. Using his skills, he can range from a stunner to killer, and even a pusher.

Clearly the best. Her Refraction ability gives her massive damage for a few attacks and can block the most powerful spells and physical attacks. Her Meld ability can turn Lanaya invisible as long as she doesn't move, and when she breaks her invisibility by attacking, the attack will be much more powerful than her normal attacks. Her Psionic Blades passive ability can easily kill creep waves and can be used to harass your opponent in the middle lane. Her ultimate ability, Psionic Trap, can be used to give vision to Lanaya or greatly slow her enemies. The recommended build is Power Treads, Desolator, Daedalus, Butterfly, Black King Bar, and Monkey King Bar. With that, she can be beyond GODLIKE!

She is the best carry because of her Refraction, and she can dominate the whole game with her traps.

Lanaya! She has the strongest transition from early to mid-game. No one deals more damage at the 15-minute mark than her!

Slark is great if you don't like team fights but prefer ganking, farming, and pushing. As the MMR rises, team fights become harder. Slark provides a way to win without being exceptionally skilled. It's like in an RPG. Do you prefer stealth or brute force? I lean towards stealth. So, I prefer to use my head and plan, rather than being adept at team fights. I don't play with friends, and team fights often have synchronization issues. Slark cannot tank. He can only flee and hide. There are many possible builds. Stealing agility is a strategic advantage, and the unobservant opponents don't even realize it. With the right items, tanking for the team is feasible. Now, with a scepter in patch 7.00, his ultimate applies to the team.

His ultimate, in my opinion, is the best skill in the whole game, giving insane passive regeneration and movement speed, and actively providing invisibility and amazing damage. Pounce is a skill that can single-handedly give you dozens of kills, even early in the game. As if that wasn't enough, Essence Shift is an amazing passive which allows you to kill, with the right items and skill combo, in a matter of seconds.

N'aix, the Lifestealer, has been my favorite hero since childhood. His skills are easy to use. He can also use another orb effect, including lifesteal. He becomes unstoppable once he gets good items and high experience.

Lifestealer & Visage combo for the win. Also Lifestealer & Chen. Also Lifestealer & Beastmaster. He can pair with almost anyone and still be super effective.

N'aix is the best. Try him. I'm sure you will like him too. When I was just a beginner in Dota, I didn't use Vengeful Spirit like Drow Ranger, but even when my playmates were Vengeful Spirit users, they couldn't just kill me easily.

The way he pushes lanes late in the game... Wow!

God's Strength - +40 strength. Enough said.

Sven has God's Strength...
No one can beat him with God's Strength, not even Troll...
He just needs to get Basher and MKB for Troll.

He is a tank, hitter, stunner, runner (with Warcry), and what else?

I love this hero, though weak at the start but given the right items, like Butterfly, Boots, Skadi/Mjolnir, Battlefury, Radiance, Heart of Tarrasque, this hero is awesome. Plasma Field with these items can blast all surrounding creeps in the blink of an eye. With Eye of the Storm, Static Link, and Unstable Current, your enemy will surely run.

He is a very good hero. I've used him many times. With the right items, he can be very effective, and his special skills are just awesome!

I use this hero a lot of the time, a great pushing hero with Plasma Field, and with the right items, he will surely be a team asset mid to late game... Items used: Boots of Travel, Linken's Sphere, Daedalus, Butterfly / Sange and Yasha, and Shiva's Guard.

Poor armor, poor agility, and hey, she is intelligent. She has great skills, is an effective chaser and escaper, and her scream tends to bring nightmares to any enemy who dares to stand before her.

Yes, he/she is right. This hero must be in 1st place because she is powerful and beautiful.

This hero is better than Anti-Mage:

1. Using Glaives of Wisdom, he deals high damage - the higher the intelligence, the greater the damage.
2. His ultimate silence won't let your enemy nuke you down.
3. Overpowered (OP).
