Lore & Bio

"Let's have some fun, shall we?"

The stories about the adventures of playful fairies always draw the attention of the children. The reason is that children are so innocent and naive that they have know idea how nasty and annoying most fairies can be. And the most notorious fairy is Mireska Sunbreeze.

Mireska or Dark Willow, a daughter of the fae merchant king, was born and grew up in Revetel nation where manipulation and murder is no stranger to its citizens. At the young age, Dark Willow showed her talents at navigating the etiquette, unspoken norms and social rituals that pervaded in every aspect of her existence. Instead of being interested in her innate ability, she found it tedious. 

As a untaming youngster, what she did later was understandable: She acted as an arsonist  and set the house and estate of her family on fire. After that, Bringing her pet wisp Jet, she ran away and enjoyed life as a roving swindler.

dark willow masterdota dota 2

In-game, Dark Willow is described as: 

“A slight flutter from the shadows may be all an enemy sees of Dark Willow, as she eludes pursuit and controls her foe's movements with cunning fae tricks. Calling upon powers far more ancient than any scholarly magic, she binds enemies in place before unleashing the full wrath and terror of the fae realm upon them.”

Abilities & Talents

Skills building guide

skill building guide dark willow dota 2

In this build I will focus on guiding you how to play Weaver as the supporter. The first ability I recommend you max out is Shadow Realm as it is extremely useful to harass the enemies because of the increasing in the attack range and put them in the low health state more frequently due to the high magical damage it deals.

The second ability to max out is Cursed Down because it can work as a tool to catch the enemy hero by rooting him/her to prevent them from dealing damage. It is extremely useful if it is cast during the teamfight. Cursed Down is your last priority but you should place one point on this ability at level 3 to stop the enemy from escaping. Always remember to place one point in your ultimate whenever possible.

Abilities

Bramble Maze

Bramble Maze (Area Target, Magical)

Notes:

Undispellable

Only allies can hear and see the sound and visual effect of the 0.5-second bramble spawn delay.

The projectile released when casting Bramble Maze serves the beautifying purposes and has no effect on the delay.

The formation of the brambles is the same in every cast.

  • 4 brambles are put in the 4 cardinal directions: north, east, south, and west which is 200 range away from the center of the targeted area.

  • 4 brambles are put in the 4 Ordinal directions:north-east, south-east, south-west, and north-west which is 500 range away from the center of the targeted area.

  • Every 0.075 seconds, the brambles are created, 0.5 seconds after the spell is cast which means It takes 1.025 seconds for all brambles to be produced completely.

  • With the inner circle, the first bramble is created in the east and the others will be spawned counter-clockwise. The brambles will start with the north-east bramble.

  • Each bramble is only available and active after 0.1 seconds it is created.
  • The first enemy unit that comes in the 90 range of the bramble will be rooted and after that the bramble disappears.
  • Enemies who are in the Fog of War or invisible still are hit by brambles.

  • Rooted enemies which are in the Fog of War or invisible don't provide their sight.

Every 0.5 seconds, a brambles wil deal 60/53.33/50/48 damage, beginning 0.5 seconds after the boost is applied which means the total attacks are 2/3/4/5 instances.

  • The total damage that a target can receive before reduction is 120/160/200/240 damage

The brambles will last for 16.025 seconds after cast.

The projectile which is thrown before Dark Willow cast Shadow Realm can not hit her.

 During the effect of Shadow Realm, Dark Willow can not be targeted and immune to the attacks. Besides, other units can go through her during the cast.

  • The attacks in their attack or the spells in the cast animation which targets Dark Willow, will get canceled by Shadow Realm.

  •  That means most of the items can not be used on herself by ↓↓ Double-tapping excluding: Glimmer Cape, Healing Salve, Moon Shard and Shadow Amulet.

  • She is still affected by Spell Reflection. 

As Dark Willow can not be selected, most of the abilities will treat her like an invisible unit. However, there are some exceptions:

  • Heat-Seeking Missile, Concussive Shot, Wrath of Nature, Omnislash, Mana Drain, Exorcism, and Thundergod's Wrath.

  •  Beetles, Phantoms and Undying Zombies still affect Dark Willow after the spell is cast.

In order not to waste the attack out of Shadow Realm, Dark Willow will be forced to stop for a nick of time when cast while attacking an enemy unit. 

  • The only exception that Dark Willow will attack immediately after casting Shadow Realm is when she is given an attack command (A) while outside of attack range. 

Abilities and items can be cast or used during Shadow Realm.

While the attack is released, the Shadow Realm rebuff will disappear. Attack logic buff will be responsible for the Dark Willow’s damage.

  • This boost vanishes when the target gets hit or within 3 seconds, whichever comes first.

  • Which means if the projectile doesn’t hit the target within 3 seconds, it can not deal damage.

  • If Dark Willow dies before the projectile hits the target, the damage caused by this attack will be negated.

  • The attack launched after the attack which creates the buff won’t receive any bonus damage.

  • With the upgrade from Aghanim’s Scepter, Shadow Realm can not be ended by attacking and the bonus damage can apply on other projectiles during the effect of this spell.

Every 0.003 seconds, damage will increase by 0.77/1.54/2.31/3.09 and max out in 3.5 seconds.

After the projectile is released, the damage will stop growing.

  • Jex only stops attacking when Dark Willow dies or when the duration expires.

Use Bramble Maze to prevent the enemies from playing aggressively. Besides, Shadow Realm can harass enemies from a long distance or help the carry to secure the kill.

Mid game

But remember to go back to the bot lane right after the gank as your carry always needs a help from yours to get his/her power to accelerate better.

Late game
