DotA2 Legion Commander Skill Build Guide

DotA2 Legion Commander (Tresdin): They came without warning. Within the city walls of Stonehall there came a rumble and a terrible sound, and from blackness unknown came a force of beasts numbering beyond count, wielding flame and foul sorcery, slaying and snatching mothers and sons to dark purpose. Of once-mighty Stonehall’s military strength only the Bronze Legion, led by the indomitable Commander Tresdin, was near enough to answer the call of battle. They rode into their city, fighting through bloodstained alleyways and burning markets, cutting their way through the monstrous throng to the source of the sudden invasion: an ethereal rift within the city square, and at its precipice thundered their dreaded champion. Enwrapped in a corrosive shimmer, the leader of the abyssal horde swung its massive blade, cleaving a legionnaire in two as his flesh began to spoil. Tresdin lifted her blood-stained sword and settled her sights on the beast. It turned, smiling at her through a maze of teeth. Heedless of the battle raging around them, they charged one another. Deflecting blow after blow, the pair danced their deadly duel as the Bronze Legion met its end around them. Tresdin leapt forward as her foe swung its sword to meet her. The odds turned. The attack smashed into Tresdin suddenly, a brutal thrust from the side, but even as her balance slipped she rallied her strength for another stroke. Blade scraped on blade, beyond the hilt to the gnarled paw below, carving it in two in a fearsome spray of sparks and blood. The vile audience looked on in astonishment as she pressed the attack, driving her blade through her foe’s flesh into the stampeding heart within. With a scream that split the clouds above, the beast erupted in a torrent of gore and anguish. The stygian portal wavered, the power sustaining the chasm beyond vanishing as suddenly as it had appeared. The remaining invaders fell quickly to Stonehall steel. Though victorious, the survivors saw little to celebrate: the city lay in ruins, and survivors were few. Fires continued to spread. Unfurling her banners of war, Tresdin gathered what allies she could. Her anger smoldered as she pledged brutal vengeance upon the forces of the abyss, and damned be any who would dare stand in her way.

	Duel (Active) Targetting Method: Unit \| Allowed Targets: Enemy Heroes Legion Commander and the target enemy hero are forced to attack each other for a short duration. Neither hero can use items or abilities. If either hero dies during the duration, the hero winning the Duel gains permanent bonus damage.
Chance: 25% Lifesteal: 55 / 65 / 75 / 85% Cooldown Time: 2.7 / 2.1 / 1.5 / 0.9 Notes The loser of the duel is the hero that dies while under the buff. There is no victor if both heroes are alive at the end of the duration, and no damage bonus is granted. Both Legion Commander and her opponent are muted while under the effect of Duel: They cannot cast spells, use items, and most passive abilities are disabled. lts cannot be disarmed or Force Staffed away. Legion Commander will ignore effects that disable her attacks during Duel such as Frostbite if Duel is activated after being disabled. however casting a Frostbite while the Duel is occurring will prevent the target from attacking. If the opponent being killed is holding an Aegis of the Immortal or is Wraith King with an active Reincarnation the Duel is won regardless of them coming back to life, However the same is true for Legion Commander (if she dies holding an Aegis of the Immortal she will give bonus damage to the opponent as well). Legion Commander’s opponent does NOT get the bonus damage if she dies whilst under the effect of Disruption or Astral Imprisonment. However , Legion Commander receives bonus damage if her enemy dies while she was banished. Legion Commander will not gain bonus damage from defeating Illusions but will grant an illusion bonus damage if defeated by one. Ethereal units can be targeted for Duel, but won’t take any physical damage for the duration of the ghost form. However, they will regain ability to attack while the ghost form is on. It’s currently unknown if it’s intentional.
