Keeper of the Light — Dota 2 hero guide
Keeper of the Light is a ranged Intelligence hero played as Support, Nuker, Disabler.
Abilities
- Illuminate: CHANNELED - Channels light energy, building power the longer it's channeled. Once released, a wave is sent forth that deals damage and gives vision in its path. The longer it is channeled, the more damage is dealt.
- Blinding Light: A blinding light flashes over the targeted area, knocking back units to the edge of the area and blinding them, causing them to miss some attacks. Minimum knockback distance is 175 range over 0.6 seconds.
- Chakra Magic: Restores mana to the target unit and reduces cooldowns of all basic abilities currently on cooldown by a fixed amount. Is 30% more effective when used on himself.
- Solar Bind: Weakens an enemy's magical resistance, and applies a slow that increases in strength the more the target moves.
- Will-O-Wisp: Summons Ignis Fatuus at the targeted area. Alternates on and off, drawing enemies closer with its mesmerising flicker.
- Spirit Form: Ezalor temporarily turns his body luminescent, gaining cast range, increasing the speed bonus from Bright Speed, and allows Illuminate to be channeled by a separate spirit and heal allies.
- Release Illuminate: Release the channel early.
- Bright Speed: Keeper of the Light gains 1 movement speed for every 2.5 Intelligence. Whenever Keeper of the Light moves 300 distance, he leaves behind light that allows him to see 400 range for 3 seconds.
Lore
Upon a pale horse he rides, this spark of endless suns, this Keeper of the Light. Ezalor long ago escaped the Fundamental plane, separating from the other ancient forces to which he was bound within the great Primordial harmony. He is a power grown sentient in the dawn of the universe, and now rides forth in all planes at once, one step ahead of pursuing chaos, bearing his gift with him at the end of a radiant staff. His majestic truth lies hidden beneath the outward appearance of a slightly doddering old man who barely stays in the saddle. However, when faced with the challenge of chaos, or the forces of darkness, his primordial light bursts forth, and his full power is revealed, transforming him once again into a force to be reckoned with.
