Hero story of Medusa

History of Medusa Dota 2 - mortal sister. As they say, beauty is a terrible force. This thought alone comforted Medusa - the youngest and most beautiful of the three Gorgon sisters born of the sea goddess - because she was the only one of the born mortal sisters. But neither beauty nor a comforting thought helped Medusa when unknown assailants attacked the Gorgon's kingdom and kidnapped her two sisters. They even were not stopped by the sisters' beauty or tears. One of the thieves grabbed Medusa, but after a moment with disgust, he threw her aside with the words: "This makes a mortal angry! We don't need anything that can die. " The humiliated and angry Medusa fled to her mother's temple. She fell in front of the Goddess, shouting: "You did not give me eternal life - therefore, I pray you to give me strength! Such power that I could devote my life to the sisters' salvation and revenge for such a desecration of our family and injustice! " After much deliberation, the Goddess granted her youngest daughter's request, allowing Medusa to trade her extraordinary beauty for terrible power. The daughter agreed, and the beauty disappeared, and she became awful, and an unknown strength appeared in her. Medusa never regretted its choice for a second. Since she knew that strength is the only beauty that is worth possessing, as only with its help, you can change the world.

Dota 2 Medusa Hero Description

How to play for Medusa

Hero Medusa Dota 2 is a core team character who can be both a mid and a carry. Has a high attack speed, especially with the talent, but not good enough movement speed. This character's bonus is not his damage, like most carries, but the ability to survive almost any attack on him. This is what gives a significant advantage throughout the game. This hero needs a lot of gold to realize his potential, so you shouldn't wait for Medusa in the heat of battle until the middle of the game. Since the hero is strong enough, and in the late stage of the game, he can independently destroy the enemy team. It is worth choosing a good Medusa counterpick.

Abilities

  • The first ability of the character is Split Shot. This skill allows the hero to attack multiple targets at once. But when the ability is activated, the attack will be reduced. The ability can be switched according to the situation since it has no cooldown and does not spend mana. Therefore, it is comfortable enough to farm both jungle camps and quickly push the lane.
  • The second ability of Medusa mod is Mystic Snake. Excellent ability with good damage and the effect of stealing mana from the opponent, all stolen mana returns to Medusa. The character releases an ability that strikes several targets. In turn, the damage of the ability increases with each jump. Therefore, it is essential to correctly launch the ability so that the last jump's target was the enemy hero.
  • The third ability, Medusa Mana Shield, allows the character to create a mana shield around himself. Therefore, when Medusa takes damage, her mana is consumed first, and only then her health. The ability works very well in conjunction with the second skill since the character is always able to restore mana at the enemy's expense.
  • Ultimate ability Stone Gaze - when activated, increases the hero's speed of movement and imposes the effect of petrification on all enemies who are looking at the side of Medusa. After the enemy is petrified, they will receive increased physical damage.
  • When purchasing an Aghanim's Scepter item, the ability of Mystic Snake, when hitting an enemy, imposes on him the same effect as the hero's ultimate ability.
