Necrophos
Top 10 Best DOTA 2 Heroes for Beginners
Before becoming a walking plague, Rotund’jere was a monk that found himself promoted to Cardinal due to the death of his superiors. Using his position, Rotund’jere exploited wealthy nobles with the false promise of spiritual reward upon their death. As the plague that ravished the land began to diminish, others took notice of his illicit dealings. Banished to the plague ward, many thought he would succumb to the plague and die. Unfortunately, they didn’t count on his natural immunity. Rotund’jere did indeed catch the pox, but instead of dying he transformed into the plague-mage known as Necrophos. Now wandering the world, Necrophos spreads pestilence to any village he visits.
Necrophos is an intelligence based hero that can obliterate even the toughest of foes. His Death Pulse sends out a wave of death, harming enemy units while healing his allies. When in danger, Necrophos can use Ghost Shroud to slip into the realm of the dead, rendering him invulnerable to physical damage for a short duration and amplifying any healing received. Just being near Necrophos can prove deadly. Necrophos’ Heart Stop Aura stills the hearts of his enemies, causing them to lose a percentage of their maximum health over time. Finally, Necrophos can punish his opponents with Reaper’s Scythe, damaging them based on how much life they are missing. Anyone killed by this ability will have an additional 10 seconds added to their respawn timer. Necrophos is a hero that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Anyone that does is liable to find themselves on the end of his Scythe.
