Gameplay

“I don’t fear Hell; Hell fears me.”

Once honored as a great master in the mysterious Demon Witch field of magic, Lion fought with his brothers for light and right. However, the words of flattery made him fall. Born with ambitions beyond his own power, the mage was seduced by a demon, turned evil, and sold his soul in exchange for glory. After committing terrible crimes, Lion's soul was deeply wounded, and the demon immediately abandoned him.

And that same demon made a more profitable trade with Lion's enemy. In a fit of rage, Lion chased the demon all the way to Hell, crushing it, tearing it to pieces, then took the demon's arm and built it for himself.

However, fusing with the devil would come with a heavy price. Lion was transformed by the process, becoming something no one else could recognize. After returning from Hell, as if a rage entered his body, the Lion slayed all those who had honored him, also desecrating the land he once worshiped.

Currently, he is the only survivor of the mysterious Demon Witch art, and everyone who wants to become his assistant or disciple will be sucked out of his magic power and torn to pieces. particles of dust fluttering in the wind.

Tips & Tactics

General

skill building guide lion dota 2 masterdota

Get 1 Earth Spike (Q) at first level and max it out at first to benefit from damage and stun. Hex (W) has an effect time at first level up to 2.5 seconds so you only need to get 1 point at early levels. Mana drain (E) is a very good mana recovery skill for Lion with a fairly fast cooldown, making up for the mana cost of his skills so you raise the next max, moreover with the ability to stun and disable, Lion can easily cause the enemy's mana to drop rapidly, making them unable to use skills. Ultimate of course get the correct level.
