General Strategy
A splintered fragment of the same primordial power as the Ancients themselves, Zet the Arc Warden has pledged to see the clash between Radiant and Dire finally end, by reunification or annihilation. Assault lone enemies with fluxing energy, or distort space to generate a protective field around allies. Summon a Spark Wraith to patrol an area for enemies to infuse with harmful magic, then create a double of Zet, items and all, to overwhelm your foes.

The Self
60/50/40 ( 54/45/36)Notes:
- The Tempest Double always spawns with Arc Warden`s current mana and health.
- On the first cast of Tempest Double, the double is actually summoned. On every following cast, it is just healed or revived.
- This means it is impossible to create more than one double at a time, since recasting Tempest Double merely refreshes the one from the previous cast.
- The double also gets fully dispelled, getting freed from absolutely every buff and debuff, including usually undispellable ones.
- Its cooldowns are not refreshed upon getting re-summoned, so all cooldowns from the previous cast carry over.
- Arc Warden and his clone are represented by an icon with health and mana bars for each on the top left corner of the screen.
- When a Zet is selected, its icon becomes brighter. When a Zet takes damage, its icon blinks red.
- The Tempest Double is visually distinguishable from the original Zet for enemies, just like how it is for allies.
- The buffs of a consumed Moon Shard and an Aghanim`s Scepter granted by Alchemist are copied as well.
- Be that as it may, other permanent buffs (e.g. Duel, Intelligence Steal) are not.
- Any Duel victory damage the double gains during its uptime is lost upon death.
- The double itself is treated exactly like a hero by all spells, since it is not an illusion.
- The double has a fixed 180 gold and a 180 experience bounty. It does not change based on level and is only granted to the killing unit.
- Spell effects, that grant bonuses when an enemy unit dies (such as Death Pulse), do not grant any bonuses for killing the double.
- This non-crediting also prevents Duel from granting damage when the double loses.
- It does not grant any Track bounty either when it dies while tracked.
- The upgraded version of Wrath of Nature only spawns a regular Treant (not a Greater Treant) when the double dies.
- The Tempest Double does not gain any experience like heroes usually do, so it does not leech experience.

Info
Zet, the Arc Warden, is a ranged Attack range is the range at which a hero may perform his or her basic attack on another unit. There are two main subdivisions of attacks: melee and ranged. Attack range can be extended by 
agility Agility is the attribute that grants armor and attack speed. For each point of agility a hero gets: 0.14 (1/7) Armor 1 Attack speed Additionally, agility heroes also get 1 attack damage per agility point. 
hero Main Mechanics Attributes Table Release Dates Grid Layout Heroes are the essential element of Dota 2, as the course of the match is dependent on their intervention. During 
that requires micromanagement and farm to spiral out of control. In the early stages of the game, it is a very powerful nuker. Its first ability, Flux, allows Arc Warden to cripple an enemy down and deal large amounts of damage. It and other allied heroes or buildings can be protected from physical attacks with its second ability Magnetic Field, while gaining swift attack speed. Similar to Techies` Land Mines, Arc Warden`s third ability, Spark Wraith, allows it to place wraiths that attack when an enemy goes near them, potentially dealing large amounts of magical damage. At long last, thanks to its ultimate, Tempest Double, which allows it to make a perfect copy of itself that can use all of Arc Warden`s spells and item abilities, it can spam all of its other abilities and most items twice and easily take down fragile heroes in the early game, or keep itself or its team doubly sustained through certain buffing or healing items. This makes Arc Warden very powerful in both early and late game if given enough farm, from magical nuker to physical carry, or if the time calls it, a very potent support.
Item interactions
- The double has its own, independent inventory, carrying the same item as the original Arc Warden does.
- On each cast, the double`s inventory gets updated and adapted to that of Arc Warden. This also sets all charges of charge-based spells to match the charges on Arc Warden, no matter how many the double had left the last time it was summoned.
- The double can neither pick up, nor drop any items. It cannot be given items by allies or Arc Warden directly either.
- It can be given an Observer Ward and Sentry Ward, since their sharing mechanics work different (CTRL override) than those of other items.
- Since the double gets re-summoned on each cast, all its item (and ability) cooldowns do not reset, just like how heroes do not get their cooldowns reset as they respawn.
- The double does not copy the following items: Aegis of the Immortal, Animal Courier, Bottle, Cheese, Clarity, Divine Rapier, Dust of Appearance, Enchanted Mango, Faerie Fire, Flying Courier, Gem of True Sight, Healing Salve, Observer and Sentry Wards, Smoke of Deceit,

Before the beginning of all, there existed a presence: a primordial mind, infinite, awesome, and set to inscrutable purpose. As the universe thundered into being, this mind was fragmented and scattered. Two among its greater fragments—who would come to be named Radiant and Dire—found themselves locked in vicious opposition, and began twisting all of creation to serve their conflict.
As war and cataclysm threatened the nascent cosmos, the will of a third fragment made itself known. Naming itself Zet, this intellect sought to resolve the disharmony and return all to perfect unity. Appalled by its kin`s conflicting nature, Zet gathered the sum of its power. In a sudden flash, it overwhelmed its siblings, and fused the warring aspects into a stellar sphere before hurling them into the darkness to orbit a nondescript world. Harmony was restored, though only the barest fraction of Zet`s strength remained. Setting its gaze on the prison, Zet chose to use its weakened power to serve as watchful warden until time`s end. For uncounted aeons, this vigil stood.
Life flourished upon the world below, oblivious to the dangers imprisoned within the softly glowing moon, or of Zet`s struggles to contain them. As the captives` eternal clash reverberated within, the surface of the prison shuddered, over time beginning to crack. Ultimately, Zet`s depleted power proved insufficient to contain the breach, and at last the moon was shattered. The prison`s ancient inhabitants had escaped to sow their conflict anew.
Flung to the farthest reaches by the prison`s explosion, Zet was transformed by the dissonant energies of its former captives. No longer of single form and thought, its presence had become split among many—some lesser, some greater—each connected by a fleeting arc of consciousness. Struggling to suppress its own disunity, Zet sped toward the burgeoning conflict of its siblings, bending its fractured wills toward a singular conclusion: the aspects of the primordial mind must be made to reunite, or all must be destroyed lest the conflict spread further...
