Guide to Enigma in Dota 2

Enigma is one of the most interesting heroes in Dota 2. In a competent hand Enigma is able to solo to decide the outcome of any game and turn it around. Most of the time this hero is played on the support positions and very rarely on the offlane, but this does not prevent him to remain very strong. The whole trick lies in his abilities, which are not easy to use, but we will try to explain them, so that the game on him for beginners will be easier. I propose to break down his main pros and cons and go through his abilities.

Pros:

  • Strong laning;
  • The ability to farm wood even on a sapport position with eidalons;
  • Very strong control;
  • Lots of magic damage.

Minuses:

  • Very greedy hero for a sapport, who needs a lot of items to realize his abilities;
  • Weak survivability;
  • Demanding microskill and competent positioning.

MALEFICE 

When used, the enemy gets a stan for a certain amount of time, which rolls every 2 seconds. A useful ability, both on the line and in the game, which will help you harass opponents, catch up with them and knock down teleporters. On top of that, it deals magic damage which can also help.

 

DEMONIC SUMMONING 

These are known as "Eidalons". The hero absorbs the chosen creep, and create sammons that can deal physical damage. After 6 attacks, each of the Eidalons spawns, which allows you to create a lot of them. They are good at breaking structures, and also allow you to farm the forest without damaging resources.

MIDNIGHT PULSE 

Enigma spreads a field that deals magic damage as a percentage of health. Works well against those whose main attribute is strength, and also combines well with the main ability.

 

BLACK HOLE

Enigma's main ability, and one of the most popular in the community. The character creates a black hole that sucks in and stuns all enemies within a certain radius. It also deals pure damage. When used competently, it can win absolutely any game.

Game Actions

When playing Enigma, it's important to have the right positioning so that you can be in the right place at the right time and not let yourself be the first to get focussed. Her ultimates are some of the strongest in the game, so often the outcome of the game will depend on how well you press her.
