Let's take a look at one of the strongest heroes in Dota 2.
Despite the fact that the overall MOBA scene is slowly stagnating, Dota 2 still retains the vast majority of its player count and remains one of the most popular games in this genre. With over 120 different heroes and items to choose from, it’s not hard to see why so many people from all over the world prefer to play this awesome game. One of the biggest challenges ahead of every new player is to learn what each hero does. This is undoubtedly a very time-consuming process that many people just don’t want to get through.

If Spectre has good support on her lane and farms well, the enemy will be in for a lot of trouble.
Let’s take a look at the abilities of this amazing hero:

The strength of this hero comes from the “immortal” status when she gets a couple of defensive items. Thanks to her two passive skills, she has enough damage to deal with her opponents without buying tons of damage items.
With that said, here are a couple of very important items for Spectre:
