Upgraded abilities

Recommended heroes

• Hookshot`s reduced cooldown gives Clockwerk much greater map presence, allowing him initiate multiple times in one fight, escape from a losing fight, or use it as a casual stun.

• Combined with a Dragon Lance, upgraded Impetus allows Enchantress to safely lob attacks from the backline, greatly increasing her damage.

• Invoke`s reduced cooldown is crucial in the late game, giving Invoker the time to cast many more abilities in a long teamfight.

Meepo   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Meepo 23 + 1.6 23 + 2.2 20 +

• The extra clone spawned from Divided We Stand`s upgrade increases Meepo`s map presence and damage, especially from Poof.

• Starstorm`s extra wave of meteors greatly increases Mirana`s burst damage potential, especially when initiating on a single target.

• Combined with its respawn time penalty, Reaper`s Scythe`s reduced cooldown gives Necrophos the ability to take important heroes out of the late game for prolonged periods of time.

• Meat Hook`s upgraded range improves Pudge`s initiation and ganking capabilities, and is useful to keep himself out of danger during the late game.

• Sonic Wave`s vastly reduced cooldown gives Queen of Pain many more opportunities to gank, initiate, and even clear creep waves.

• Remote Mines` improved damage makes it much easier to kill tougher heroes in the late game, and is the only way to improve Techies` damage.

• The cleaving tree gained from Grow`s upgrade helps Tiny deal with groups of enemies, and makes him one of the fastest building destroyers in the game.

• Burrowstrike`s doubled range makes Sand King much more mobile, and allows him to stun more enemies during initiations.

• Necromastery`s increased soul limit boosts Shadow Fiend`s attack and Requiem of Souls damage. Having more souls also means Shadow Fiend will often retain more damage after dying.

• Focus Fire`s cooldown and damage penalty reduction lets Windranger hit much harder, more frequently, and allows her to fill the role of a carry.

Zeus   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Zeus 19 + 2.6 11 + 1.2 22 + 2.7 Level Base

• Nimbus gives Zeus a second global ability, and also provides continuous vision, allowing Zeus to aid his allies from any point on the map in addition to the burst damage from Thundergod`s Wrath.

Others

• Alchemist does not need Aghanim`s Scepter for himself, but can farm one for his teammates when needed.
• A non-carry Night Stalker`s flying vision from the Scepter is great for initiating teamfight, pushing highground and dewarding the map with a Gem of True Sight.
• Nyx Assassin This page is about the hero. For the goddess in Dota 2 lore, see Nyx.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   `s Burrow makes him more viable in the late game, but he usually needs other items (like Blink Dagger or Dagon) first. It is a must-have item for him in the late-game though, as it heavily increases his teamfight presence, and helps him greatly in defending buildings.
• Tinker can be quite intimidating with upgraded Heat-Seeking Missiles and Laser, but should still prioritize Boots of Travel and Blink Dagger first.
• Treant Protector For Nature s Prophet s summons, see Treant. For the race in Dota 2 lore, see Treant Protectors.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities `s extra vision with Eyes In The Forest is always worth it, but can be difficult for him to afford.

Supports

While many supports become more powerful with Aghanim`s Scepter, most should still focus primarily on buying support items, with Aghanim`s Scepter as a luxury option if they have enough gold.

Trivia

• Aghanim`s Scepter is named after Agahnim, one of the main villains in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
  • Heroes never mention Aghanim`s name in their voice responses, simply referring to it as "The Scepter". This is likely due to the risk of copyright infringement.
  • Riki and Lion are the only heroes who do not have any Scepter responses (excluding Io and Phoenix, who do not speak).
• Rubick is the son of Aghanim. He also possesses an imitation of Aghanim`s Scepter.
