Abilities

Skills in "DotA" - this is what makes the hero unique, unrepeatable. In the arsenal of the Invoker, as many as 11 spells and three spheres. Next, we'll look at the Invoker Dota skills, give them a brief description, present tips for use, etc.

Spheres

Quas (Kvass) is an ice sphere that reflects the resistance of the cold. Each time the Quas is pumped, the Invoker receives 2 strength units to the stats and +1 HP to regenerate for each active sphere. Kvass will not only increase the survivability of the Invoker under the pressure of enemy gankers, but also allow you to quickly recover HP, without departing from the line.

Wex (Vex) - the electric sphere, which is charged with the incredible speed of this element. For each level of Wex, the Invoker will gain 2 Agility units for characteristics, + 2% for attack speed and + 1% for movement speed for each active sphere. Vex at times improves the mobility of Invoker. At the maximum level of pumping the hero will be able to move around the map with almost maximum speed. Increased Agility will provide additional protection against physical damage and increase the total DPS (the amount of damage dealt per second).

Exort (Exort) - the sphere of fire, which characterizes all the power and destructiveness of this element. For each level of pumping the Exort invoker receives 2 units of intelligence, and each active sphere of fire, in turn, adds +3 units to the attack. The exodus allows you to create spells of destructive power, which in a matter of seconds will send enemies back to the fountain.

Spells

Invoke - ulta and the key ability of the Invoker, which allows you to unite the spheres and get thus spells. For additional spells, there are only two cells (on the first level, Invoke one). There is a special substitution system, which removes the spell, which was called before the others. For example, if you created Ghost Walk and after the recharge added to it Ice Wall, then when you try to lay down a new spell from the panel, Ghost Walk will disappear.

Ghost Walk is a spell that is created by combining one sphere of Vex and two Kvass. When activated, Invoker acquires invisibility, and debuff is applied to enemy heroes as a slowdown. This ability can be used for various purposes. At the initial stage of the game with her help you will be able to escape from the enemy gank. At later stages, you can use Ghost Walk to scout a dangerous terrain, for example, an enemy forest. But you need to use this ability wisely, because the enemy can notice the debuff and use the dastas or put the ward.

Cold Snap - a spell that is created when a combination of three spheres Kvas. Inflicts a debuff on an enemy, which fires every time it takes damage. The enemy receives additional damage and microstands. This ability does not lose its relevance throughout the game. It will help to disguise enemy kerry. Also with the help of Cold Snap it is possible to knock down an enemy casting spells or a scroll of teleportation.

EMP - the ability that appears when combining the three spheres of Vex. With this spell, Invoker creates an electric ball in a certain area, which quickly expands. After a certain time, the ball explodes, burns enemies to mana and deals corresponding damage. EMP is excellent counter support and casters, which, in fact, are slaves to their manapula.

Ice Wall - a spell that is created by combining two spheres of Kvas and one Exor. When activated, an ice wall appears in front of the hero, which slows down enemies who have fallen into it and inflicts small damage to them. The main goal of Ice Wall is to cut off opponents from a certain location. For example, using this skill, you can pinch the enemy team from Roshan, blocking the only way to retreat. Reasonable use of Ice Wall will help to gain a strategic advantage over opponents.

Tornado - a spell obtained by combining two spheres of Vex and one Kvass. Invoker applies this spell to a certain area, after which a tornado sweeps through it, which raises opponents into the air. After landing, enemies take damage. Tornado is a universal ability. It can be used to finish off fleeing enemies, to save their allies from persecution, to interrupt enemy castes.

Sun Strike - the ability that appears when a combination of three spheres of the Exort. Deals damage over a small radius, but can be freely applied throughout the map. Sun Strike - an excellent skill that will help finish off the runaway KhP opponent.

Forge Spirit - a spell that is created by combining two spheres of Exor and one Kvass. After activation, summons a fiery spirit with a long-range attack, capable of corroding armor. This skill is quite good counterpart of "thick" heroes. In addition, thanks to Forge Spirit, the invoker has an excellent potential for pushing.

Chaos Meteor is a skill that appears when you combine two Exotic Spheres and one Vex. When activated, a meteorite hits the selected area, causing enormous damage to nearby enemies. The ability is excellent in the early stages of the game. With a lucky combination of circumstances with the help of Chaos Meteor, you can destroy several enemies, or even the entire team at once.

Deafening Blast - a spell that can be obtained by combining the spheres of Kvass, Vex and Exort. When this spell is activated, an arc is created that repels enemies and inflicts damage to them. After the end of repulsion, the enemies lose the opportunity to attack for a short period of time. Deafening Blast is a wonderful massive disable that can be used for both defense and attack.

Alacrity - the ability for which you must combine the two spheres of the Vex and one Exor between them. The spell is a buff, and it can be imposed on yourself or another allied creature. The target gains additional attack speed and damage. With the help of Alacrity, you can significantly strengthen the allied kerry.

Bindy

To create spells, you need to quickly combine the spheres with each other, but this is difficult to do. It is necessary to remember the combination of spheres to each ability and skillfully to work with the keyboard. However, even this does not save you from mistakes. You can mix with the selection of spheres and make a completely unnecessary ability. To avoid such incidents, we invented binds.

Bind is a small plug-in that allows you to associate a specific command or their sequence in the game with the appropriate button click. Simply put, they help to bind the desired action to a particular key. This greatly simplifies the game for Invoker. Instead of combining spheres, you can simply press the desired button, and voila - the ability is ready to use. The Binds of Invoker will prove to be excellent assistants. If you consider them to be something dishonest and cheating, then the "Invoker-game" will be relevant. In it, you need to quickly add up various spheres and receive spells. After training a couple of days, you will easily learn all the combinations, after which you will be able to create skills yourself without any binds. We continue to consider how to play for Invoker.

Important Features

With the abilities figured out. Next, imagine a guide to Invokera ("Dota 2"). What to collect? What abilities to use? On which line should Invover stand? Hyde, presented below, will answer all of the above questions.

Erli game

As a starting purchase, it's worth buying Iron Branch (it will give you a few stats), Blades of Attack (you will need it later to build Phase Boots, and a small bonus to the attack will not be superfluous) and Tango (will help restore HP without leaving the line). As for the liner, it's best to go to the mid. After all, in order to gain momentum, Invoker needs a lot of gold and experience.

Standing on the line, you do not need to be impudent and try to take the enemy, because in the game's game, Invoker is pretty weak and vulnerable to ganking because of the lack of spells. Therefore, it is better to stand on the high road and calmly finish off the creeps, increasing the potential. It is also worthwhile to always keep the Sun Strike ready and monitor the map for enemies with a small HP reserve. Having earned a little money, it is worth collecting Phaase Boots. In addition to an additional attack, he will make Invoker much more mobile.

Meade Game

In midgeym it is necessary to begin to actively gank. This is where the problem begins for most players, because the Invoker has quite a lot of spells, and it's easy to get lost in them. What to do in this case? If you are playing for this character not so long ago, then do not try and start all at once. Choose a bunch of two or three skills that you will use during mixing. For example, the best Invoker skills for ganks are Cold Snap and Alacrity. This bundle is quite dangerous. It works like this: we use Cold Snap on the enemy, then we buffer ourselves or the allied kerry with the help of Alacrity, and then we start kicking the vrachin. If the opponent still managed to leave, we deploy Sun Strike.

As for the artifacts, it is best to collect the Force Staff (make us almost imperceptible) and Aghanim's Scepter (improve the ultras and significantly increase the mana and HP).

Leith Game

In the leyme game, Invoker does not lose its relevance. At this stage of the game, the combination of Meteor + Deafening Blast is incredibly strong. It deals huge damage and stuns the enemies, which gives our allies extra time to maneuver. Also do not forget about Forge Spirit, which burn badly the armor of opponents.

The main artifact at this stage of the game is Scythe of Vyse. With its help, Invoker can for a couple of seconds turn an enemy kerry into an innocuous little creature. If there are a lot of casters in the team of opponents, then it's worth thinking about the acquisition of Black King Bar. In addition, it is worth getting a Boots of Travel, thanks to which Invoker in a few seconds gets to anywhere on the map. Well, if you are an experienced player and at the maximum use all the abilities of the Invoker, then you should get Refresher Orb. It will allow you to reload skills and reuse them. In addition, it will give additional damage and mana regeneration.
