Kinetic gem Dota 2: hero lists and effects

The Dota 2 game is being modernized to make it even more interesting. Such innovations may affect, among other things, the animation of the gameplay. At the same time, each player knows that it is important to pay close attention to high-quality item builds and leveling his character. Kinetic gems are one of the classes of such items.

Dota 2 is a nice game. But you can work on its graphic component to improve it. For this, kinetic gems of Dota 2 are used. What effect can be achieved with their help? How to use it? More on this later.

What is a kinetic gem?

Gems with this name exist not only in Dota but, for example, on Steam. Why do we need gems in Steam? In this game client, users in their accounts can collect gems, for which they can then buy sets of cards. But gems in Dota are completely different things. These multi-colored crystals are inserted into equipment (it has corresponding slots). What effect can this have? For example, change the appearance of an item or improve abilities.

Why do you need kinetic gems in Dota 2? This category of stones is inserted into things for cosmetic purposes. This changes the animation of heroes using items with such stones. For example, Crow’s Feet is a kinetic gem that can change several animations for a character named Pudge. Such a kinetic on Puja changes the movements when the hero:

inactive;
wins;
teleports;
respawns;
uses Meat Hook.

The Allure of the Succubus kinetic gem, inserted into the item, changes the animation of Akasha’s equipment (Queen of Pain, QoP).

Usually, the kinetic gem only affects one character and is not suitable for others. So, for example, Lina and Crystal Maiden will not be able to use the Deadwinter’s Soul gem. Of the two, the stone will only suit Lina.

How to insert a kinetic gem Dota 2?

The gem can be used not for any item but only for the one that has slots. What if there is no slot? Artificer’s Chisel, an enchanted chisel, will help you create them. To insert a stone, you need:

Choose the Hero.
Click on the skin.
Click “Add Gem” if there is a slot.
