Bristleback(Dota Hero Information)


Although his spells seem very weak at first glance, Rigwarl is a bad hero
to underestimate. Quill Spray, Viscous Nasal Goo, and Warpath all provide
relatively small effects when used only once, but each ability stacks when
cast multiple times. Enemies of the Bristleback will soon find themselves
covered in goo and shredded by constant quill fire if they aren't careful.
Quill Spray deals increasing damage with each cast on the same target,
and due to its low cooldown and mana cost it can be very deadly over time.
When Rigwarl sees that his enemies are sufficiently weakened, he can move
in for the kill with Viscous Nasal Goo. This ability slows the target and reduces
their armor, increasing the damage of Quill Spray and Bristleback's physical
attack and making it impossible to escape. Furthermore, casting spells puts
Bristleback on the Warpath, which increases his movement and attack speeds
as he uses his abilities. Bristleback's signature skill, and where he gets his name,
is his near invulnerability to attacks that strike his back. All attacks and spells
that come from behind him will be heavily reduced and cause additional Quill
Sprays. Engaging a strong Rigwarl who is facing away is almost always a pointless
exercise.




Hero Skills :


Vicious Nasal Goo

Covers a target in snot, causing it to have
reduced armor and movement speed. Casts
on the same target are cumulative.



Quill Spray

Sprays enemy units with quills dealing damage in a
650 AoE. Deals 30 extra damage for every time the
unit was struck by a quill in the last 10 seconds.



BristleBack

Rigwarl covers his back in spines, causing him to
reduced damage. Automatically releases a quill
spray whenever his rear receives 250 damage.



Warpath

Everytime Rigwarl casts a spell, he works himself
into a fury. Movement speed and damage increase
on repeated spell casts.

Bristleback Background Story


The quillboars were never interested in the affairs and wars
of other races, but one knew that the Scourge would eventually
descend on their lands if left unchecked. Entering the ranks of the
Sentinel for the sole reason of the preservation of his tribe, Rigwarl
brings primal instincts to the never ending battle. Each time he releases
a flurry of quills or a glob of slime, he works himself into a frenzy that
increases his effectiveness drastically, and should he be in danger, his
bristle back would shield him from further harm. A perfect demonstration
of the abilities that even lesser beings can unleash.

Alchemist(Dota Hero Information)


The Alchemist is a difficult foe to handle, but if left to his own devices he can
amass enormous amounts of gold at an alarming rate. His Acid Spray covers
a large area with toxic chemicals, which deal physical damage and reduce the
armor of any foe caught in the cloud. Attempting to fight the Alchemist while in
an acid cloud is foolhardy at best, especially if he uses his Chemical Rage
transformation skill. Chemical Rage drastically increases the life, regeneration,
and attack speed of the Alchemist, transforming him into a deadly fighter. Possibly
his most dangerous skill, however, is Unstable Concoction. Although it takes some
time to charge, Unstable Concoction results in one of the longest stuns in the game
and causes a good deal of damage. Although the Alchemist can be annoying to fight,
it's best to keep a close eye on him. Goblin's Greed directly increases the amount of
gold the Alchemist gains when killing creeps, and as he kills more the bonus increases.
Unless kept in check, this Goblin/Ogre combo can cause a lot of mayhem late in the
game.



Hero Skills :


Acid Spray

Sprays high-pressure acid across a target area. Hostile
units who step across the contaminated terrain take
mixed damage per second and have their armor reduced.



Unstable Concoction

Razzil brews up an unstable concoction that he can throwat an enemy hero, to
stun and deal damage. Razzil can brew for up to 5 seconds, each second increases
the potency of the concoction. After the 5 seconds, there is a small buffer window. If Razzil does not throw the concoction soon after it will blow up and Razzil himself will suffer as if he was hit by the concoction. Concoction can blow up mid air if fired too late.


Goblin's Greed

The Goblin converts the creep's corpse into gold.
You get more gold for every extra creep you killed
in the last 18 seconds.



Chemical Rage

The Alchemist causes his Ogre to enter a chemically induced
rage reducing base attack cooldown and increasing hitpoints
and regeneration. Slightly improves movement speed.

Having enlisted under the ranks of the Sentinel for mere personal gain,
the Alchemist's quest for amassing wealth to fund his research is a tireless

Goblin cares not what means he must resort to for a sizable bounty. Whether
he chooses to paralyze his foes with toxic concoctions or drench them in
corrosive acids, Razzil Darkbrew remains steadfast in his calm, calculated
approach, despite their constant wails of agony.

Ursa Warrior Background Story


Before the invasion of the Scourge, a race of intelligent bears
called furbolgs cultivated a quiet spiritual society deep in the
heart of Azshara. With most of their kind murdered and corrupted
by the Undead, the normally isolated furbolgs were forced to flee to
the Sentinel for protection. In return, the furbolgs have sent their
mightiest Ursa Warrior into battle on the Sentinel behalf. Enraged
by the defilement of his people's sacred land, Ulfsaar is able to channel
his fury into a series of extremely quick and brutal swipes, using his
razor-sharp claws to overpower his foes and literally tear them apart.

Templar Assassin(Dota Hero Information)


Lanaya uses deceit to conquer her foes. With Refraction
she can negate a small number of damage instances, and
have a few enhanced attacks of her own. She can Meld into
the shadows at any time, but must remain still to keep hidden.
If she strikes from the shadows, she will deal additional damage
and lower her target's armor. The Templar Assassin's Psi
Blades can be thrown from moderate range, and actually pierce
her targets to deal damage further in a line. Her ability to place
Psionic Traps from great distances, which slow nearby targets
on activation, makes her nearly impossible to escape from. While

Gorgon Background Story


An insidious creature that dwelled for eons in the underwater
prisons of Nazjatar, the Gorgon was unwittingly freed during
the war waged between King Arthas's Scourge and the Naga
on the icy shores of Northrend. Plagued by undeath in the aftermath,
Medusa welcomed the blessing of immortality. Gifted with a keen
sense of archery and affinity to magic at birth, she has honed her
skills over the ages – striking multiple foes with a single volley
of arrows, debilitating them with jolts of lightning, and even conjuring
a protective barrier of mana. Like her namesake, Medusa instills
paralyzing fear into all that dare cross her path.
