DotA2 Brewmaster Skill Build Guide

DotA2 Brewmaster (Mangix): Deep in the Wailing Mountains, in a valley beneath the Ruined City, the ancient Order of the Oyo has for centuries practiced its rites of holy reverie, communing with the spirit realm in grand festivals of drink. Born to a mother’s flesh by a Celestial father, the youth known as Mangix was the first to grow up with the talents of both lineages. He trained with the greatest aesthetes of the Order, eventually earning, through diligent drunkenness, the right to challenge for the title of Brewmaster—that appellation most honored among the contemplative malt-brewing sect. As much drinking competition as mortal combat, Mangix for nine days drank and fought the elder master. For nine nights they stumbled and whirled, chugged and struck, until at last the elder warrior collapsed into a drunken stupor, and a new Brewmaster was named. Now the new, young Brewmaster calls upon the strength of his Oyo forebears to speed his staff. When using magic, it is to his spirit ancestors that he turns. Like all Brewmasters before him, he was sent out from his people with a single mission. He wanders the land, striving toward enlightenment through drink, searching for the answer to the ancient spiritual schism—hoping to think the single thought that will unite the spirit and physical planes again.

Duration: 15 / 17 / 19 Mana Cost: 125 / 150 / 175 Cooldown Time: 140 / 120 / 100 Notes When the spell ends, the Brewmaster takes Earth’s place. If Earth is dead he takes Storm’s place, and if Storm is dead he takes Fire’s place. Brewmaster will return with the HP he had before Primal Split was activated. All of the warriors possess the Resistant Skin passive ability. Abilities that have separate effects for heroes and creeps (such as Enchantress’s Enchant) will use the Hero effects when targeting the warriors. Abilities that affect only creeps (such as Doom Bringer’s Devour) or only Heroes (such as Witch Doctor’s Death Ward) will not affect the warriors. Warriors are not considered summons. Thus, it does not take summon bonus damage. If Brewmaster is affected by Soul Catcher before using Primal Split, all warriors will spawn with Soul Catcher debuff on them. The Earth warrior has every aura of the Brewmaster (Such as Vladmir’s Offering or Assault Cuirass). If the Earth warrior dies, the auras will move to Storm, then Fire. This is true for all items with an area of effect (such as Gem of True Sight or Drum of Endurance). The Warriors are affected by Enigma’s Black Hole.
