"DotA 2": a rapier - a pledge ...?

"Dota 2" has long been a cult game and attracted a huge number of players. Now it has become an e-sports discipline, in which a lot of professional teams are fighting for high enough awards and prizes.

Artifacts in the game

Even in the first "DotA", which was only an additional card for the famous game, the players had the opportunity to collect various kinds of artifacts, which migrated to Dota 2. The items here also give serious bonuses, and without them it will simply not be possible to win. Some increase the damage, others give new active abilities.

However, there are also the most valuable items in DotA 2. Rapier - the most powerful artifact for additional physical damage, which is vested in its carrier. Thanks to it you can easily destroy your opponents with a few strokes. However, in this artifact there are also minuses.

First of all, we note that balance and mechanics are the main pillars of life in the game "Dota 2". Rapier, like any subject, is no exception. For its great power, it pays a sufficiently high purchase price and a feature due to which at the death of its owner, it falls to the ground, so that the enemy will be able to pick it up. This artifact only gives damage, but does not give the owner invulnerability or more health, and therefore, if you play for enough "thin" characters without the possibility of avoiding damage (teleportation, invisibility, etc.), then it is better not to take this artifact.

Well, he looks at the heroes of ranged combat, since they do not need to be in the thick of the battle. Even better, if this hero is capable of causing critical damage, quickly attacks or has a long range of attack (Sniper, Drow Ranger, Luna, Medusa).

It should be understood that on heroes who use their intellect and active abilities, causing great magical damage, this artifact will look very unusual. These characters do not need items that add physical damage. It is better to collect such things that increase the strength of your magic attacks, and also reduce the magical defense of the enemy. Such items also exist in the game "Dota 2". First, the rapier does not need such heroes, and secondly, given their natural physical weakness, which is usually expressed in a small amount of health, weak physical protection, low speed of movement, it will be a serious problem, Because it can not be transferred, and if the enemy takes possession of it, then it will surely be hard for you.

How to collect?

Like any other subject, this artifact also consists of some components, although their relationship has changed over time. Now, if you do not know how to assemble a rapier in DotA 2, you just need to find its recipe in the "Shop" tab in the game. To build it, you only need 2 artifacts: Demon Edge and Sacred Relic. Having bought these two items for a total of 6200 gold, you will receive +330 for physical damage and a new item, actually, Divine Rapier.

The best heroes

There are a number of heroes who buy the given artifact is recommended by "Dota 2" itself. The rapier on them will look as good as possible, and their abilities will make it as effective as possible. It's Weaver, Wraith King, Medusa, Kunkka - it's on these characters that such a powerful artifact will find the best application.
