Dota 2 has released the Mistwood update

Valve made good on their promise last night by releasing the Mistwood update. As often happens, with the patch, the game was radically changed, adding new opportunities for strategies and revising the functionality of the heroes. Briefly about the main innovations below.

The first thing worth mentioning is the new hero. Hoodwink appeared on the battlefields of the ancients. The agile fox uses a crossbow in battle and throws acorns. Hoodwink is capable of briefly immobilizing opponents by binding them to trees, moving through textures, and the ultimate ability, after preparation, deals serious damage.

The second important innovation is Aghanim's Shard. Now all heroes will be able to purchase the so-called Aghanim's shard. For some characters, the item will add a completely new ability, while for others it will change the existing ones. Important note: Aghanim's Shard can only be purchased after 20 minutes, and its cost will be 1400 gold.

Finally, Dota 2 added 12 new core items, 14 neutral items and reworked a dozen old items. The heroes of the Battle of the Ancients also underwent drastic changes. To learn more about the innovations that have appeared in Dota 2 with the release of the Mistwood update, follow the link in more detail.
