    Gamers! A small correction to bring this video in line with the current patch (7.36b) The movement speed you have when casting Cyclone on yourself through Wind Waker is now 300 movespeed instead of 360 - a slight nerf but still very valuable :)

    8:16 It's not the verticality that snaps the Dream Coil. It's because Cyclone effect tosses the hero model around, as seen in 0:58. When you're on the edge of Coil, Cyclone pushes you slightly away from the max distance while invulnerable. The verticality is disproved by Wind Ranger Arcana. Her new Eul animation is stationary where she strikes a pose, her model doesn't get tossed around. So she doesn't snap the coil's X and Y axes.

    This is correct, you can test it in Demo by using Tiny throw at the very edge of Dreamcoil and does not interact the same way. Eul's can break it on the edge due to the way it moves your actual unit in the air while invulnerable.

    Based on research, i've seen this debate going back to when WR arcana was released (wasn't playing during that window so don't have the arcana to test myself) but in every test I've seen other players doing to prove what they claim they actually move the non-arcana hero further away from the centre of the Dream Coil before using Eul's. Not helpful testing lol.

    You are correct, and you can also see this at 10:37 when LC is tracking the cycloned target. AFAIK it moves your hero in a small diamond pattern so this will always work if you're the correct distance away from Dream Coil regardless of where you're facing.

    Tiny's Toss doesn't move the hitbox of the hero, only the hero model and its associated block box (the thing that stops creeps spawning in camps and enables body blocking). It's why Tiny can run underneath a tossed unit but also attack the unit that is theoretically 1,000 units in the air despite being a melee hero. And why Mirana can hit a unit at the top of Tiny's toss with an arrow. Their hitbox doesn't move upwards but their hero model and block box does. What only Valve can really tell us is whether the units hit box also moves upwards as part of Cyclone and whether Dream Coil is tied to a heroes hitbox or block box. It seems generally believed that hitboxes don't move on the Z-Axis from what we've found, which gives credence to the belief that it's only the hitbox being jostled around on the X-Y axis that enables Coil to break during the Invulnerability. We've yet to find substantial proof on the matter, but it's an interesting mystery nonetheless.

    ​@@beneaththeveili believe cyclone truly moves the hero into the air, as while applying nullifier on a cycloned hero you have to click on the actual hero model thats spinning around in the air. also the reason why tests move the hero away from cyclone is to put the hero at the very edge of dream coil, as the breaking point is slightly further away than the radius seen on the ability.

    Back when Dust could be dispelled Sand King Eul's was aids

  • @visualbrick6574
    @visualbrick6574Ай бұрын

    Below are a few uses I have for euls not mentioned. Some are highly hero specific, while others are more general. With Sand king, if you know the enemy is carrying dust as their detection, you can euls yourself to be safe in your sandstorm in otherwise perilous locations. This allows you to sandstorm with impunity if you know their items. It can also be used to prevent a save after initiating (burrowstrike sven, euls approaching SD). It can also be a setup for epicenter or to close distance for more right clicks on a fleeing target. For death prophet, Euls is a great tool for turning not just with exorcism as you mentioned, but also with siphon. Popping two siphons then going into euls will heal significant hp while dealing significant damage if they are turning on you, especially against melee hero's. I stopped playing 4 years ago, but id imagine this ability is augmented greatly with windwaker. If they flee, you can stay ontop of them with your uncontrolled damage. If they threaten you more than you them, you can flee into your team forcing them to choose if following you is worth it. An excellent gambit tool as euls improved dramatically as windwaker. Having to play around this makes your opponents need to be able to know they can burst/control you to 0 or else have been baited which is a good deterrent for the hyper aggressive play that DP operates on with her ult while pushing. While that is more DP focused. The same "buy time to heal and punish aggression' is used for bloodstone users like Lesh too. For SK and DP, the free pathing is more busted than you make it out to be. SK is elusive, and extremely so if you can play around ledges during team fights as the few seconds it would take to path around the ledge can get your blink, stun or sandstorm up which are all but a free escape. DP is less worried about escaping but having 1 more second to heal and do damage. With low cooldown spells, even if you can be tracked back down with little issue, an extra 1 or 2 seconds can win a fight. Also it is just generally a good kiting tool

  • @beneaththeveil

    @beneaththeveil

    Ай бұрын

    Some great tips there for sure. Valve eventually realised how busted being able to dispel dust was in the case of SK so they've now made dust undispellable and heroes hit by the true sight have it linger on them even after leaving the AoE. The tip of setting up a solo Epicenter with Cyclone is certainly sound, and akin to SF Requiem if you can get the timing down to prevent any heroes with a stun, hex or silence interrupting the windup time. Extra time under Spirit Siphon is definitely another application! Demonstrating Exorcism felt more applicable to all skill ranges as a specific example but yes, the healing of Spirit Siphon during the 2.5s of invulnerability isn't to be disregarded either. Same as Leshrac and a hero introduced in the time since you stopped playing, Primal Beast who the movement tied to Wind Waker can be a great gambit tool to continue dealing damage through Invulnerability and discourage enemies from pursuing a fight they might in the moment be winning. The free pathing was definitely undersold, but for the sake of video length we try not to belabour any one point too excessively. Cutting lines of sight with free pathing is always an incredibly strong ability to be able to leverage at every stage of the game. Appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Perhaps this is a sign from the universe/Gaben/KZread that you should come and get your toes wet in your old favourite game? You've clearly still got all the knowledge stowed away all these years later ;)

He does have to target the hero model if it's up in the air which can be a bit janky and then cancel the channel immediately, so it's debatable how impactful it can be but it's certainly a piece of tech to have in your back pocket if you're in a bind :)

  • @beneaththeveil

    @beneaththeveil

    Ай бұрын

    Generally, Eul's should be first item after completing boots if you're going to get it, yes. There are games where it can be good to stick to boots of speed only and rush for the Eul's, say if you're the only one who needs the mana then the Void Stone will give you what you need and your allies won't be worried if they're not also mana hungry like you are. Building towards Wind Waker is more nuanced and requires more awareness of enemy item progression. If there are key targets that you're putting in a Cyclone consistently and you have counterplay on them by upgrading to a Wind Waker should they get an item to stop an aggressive Cyclone: track their items throughout the game and if you see they're building towards BKB/Linken's then start building towards Wind Waker as well so your item timings are both within 10m max of each other. The smaller you can make their item powerspike window relevant the better :)

    Great question! When you have Wind Waker its always correct to cyclone your ally (unless they're affected by the active effect of Nullifier) as if other enemies are around the Duel they can finish your ally off to grant LC the Duel damage despite her being up in the Cyclone. If it's just the two of them though and you know for a fact no other enemies can be nearby: I'd always put LC up in the air to condition her to build a BKB and pop it every time she duels. Just because you have the utility to save an ally, you have to keep in mind when it's safe to keep psychologically bullying the enemy team :D

    We think you might be misunderstanding what we're explaining here. You can not self cast Nullifier which means there is only 3 items that can prevent an enemy from setting up a Cyclone Stun combination on you. That being BKB so you ignore the effect, Linken's so the Cyclone spell is absorbed if the protection is active, or the Echo Shell active of Lotus Orb so the enemy puts themselves up in the air with you and therefore cannot chain their own stun ability on you.

    Although, if someone has a safety bubble (Tier 1 neutral). it has 100 shield and euls only has 50 landing damage. Meaning they wont take enough damage to the shield to break a blink dagger. Maybe they could increase the damage on the wind waker when cast on an enemy to something like 250 so you can counter shields if they become a big enough problem.

    @@heroninja1125 Very true! Barrier effects do avoid having Blink Daggers put on cooldown. They also have damage applied to them after resistances so the damage to the shield would actually only be that 37.5 magic damage assuming a base magic resist of 25%. I'm sure if they become enough of an issue that they'll patch Blink Daggers again so they go on cooldown based on all damage not just damage to HP directly

    Venge swap dispels cyclone from an enemy/ally who is cycloned

  • @beneaththeveil

    Ай бұрын

    Correct! VS Swap is one of the few spells that can target spell immune units, different to Debuff Immune. While it doesn't technically dispel the target, it interrupts channelling abilities on the target which in this case is what the Cyclone is doing, so the cyclone comes to an end. Always a debate whether to include all the interactions and make videos insanely long, or leave a simplified version that covers the majority of mechanics in a much shorter video and iron out all the weird interactions with you all in the comments lol

    We've helped many players climb themselves out of Herald and into Guardian and Crusader. A lot of it is shifting your focus off of your teammates and on to yourself, making sure you find consistent impact even in games where you don't win. A realistic climbing win rate is 50.1-55% it can be a slow climb, but so long as you're focussed on yourself and your own improvement anyone can climb.

    Almost. There's technically a few sources of spells that pierce invulnerability (Nullifier, Venge Swap, Shadow Demon Demonic Purge, Sven Storm Hammer with Aghs etc) so it's not completely unkillable. But in a lot of cases it can feel like that. Puck with Blink Dagger, Eul's and Phase Shift can feel a lot like that with the 7s cooldown on Blink. It's good fun, would recommend.

    It's okay. Late game items that give mediocre stats (Damage and helm stats are underwhelming) while ALSO requiring you to juggle yet another variable in fights: not to mention heroes that are much more reliant on specific items? Even though Nullifier exists and does work: Eul's is not only better stats but also is nearly half the gold: all the while being the thing you are forced to counter rather than a specific counter item.

  • @beneaththeveil

    @beneaththeveil

    Ай бұрын

    Not quite. We're not claiming that buying a Nullifier wastes a spot, but it forces the enemy to occupy that item slot with Nullfier if they want to fully shut down the utility of a Wind Waker. This forcing of itemisation limits the versatility of their item build and could instead be an item that gives them damage while giving them some other desired effect like lowering HP regen and lifesteal through Skaadi or providing Critical Strikes like Daedalus. It forces the enemy to compromise their ideal build in order to deal with a single item you possess.

    Unsure why you think Nullifier stats are underwhelming. It's in the top 5 highest raw damage increase for heroes regardless of attribute group and is tied fourth for highest armor gain in the game only behind Shiva's, AC and Helm of the Overlord. It's not the best pickup in every game but is situationally strong for sure.

    @@beneaththeveil I guess what I meant is when nullifier is considered, the amount that the armor increase helps is quite a lot less significant due to the logarithmic scaling of armor, and straight plus damage is okay, but can be nearly worthless on gapclose spellcasters that might want the item: namely spirit heroes. No strength or HP, no attack speed, no mana pool: just armor when you likely won’t need that much and an admittedly high chunk of damage.

    @@bluejay7058 That's a fair assessment, but brings up an interesting point of when it is considered. We're of the belief that a lot of players consider Nullifier too late into the picture (4th-6th item if at all) where your assessment of the passive benefits being generally underwhelming for that point of the game is entirely valid. Before that time and while the heroes who rely on dispellable effects to survive early-mid game threat are still fragile though: Nullifier opens a window for a lot of heavy burst heroes to convert on their natural kill threat before attribute gains of those more fragile heroes gives them the capacity to survive through it. Of course you're compromising on build order to get a quicker Nullifier, but DOTA is an inherent game of compromise. Food for thought for sure.

    The purpose of this video is to fully explain not only exactly how the Cyclone spell works, but present new players with all the different utility options accessing the Cyclone spell gives them. We're sorry this wasn't immediately apparent to you through the titling of the video, hope this explanation has helped clarify things for you. You're correct, we could just highlight a single application use of the Cyclone spell like Team Spirit's Collapse leveraging a fast Wind Waker to completely shut down Virtus Pro's Bane pick in the first round of PGL Wallachia that happened today, but how is that of any use to new players who don't see Bane picked in their own games? By only highlighting a couple of single use cases, new players will naturally assume those are the only situations they should be purchasing the item rather than realising they can use the Cyclone spell to help catch an enemy, make space for their team to retreat, cancel channelling effects, dispel themselves or an ally of debuffs, dispel their enemies of buffs or set up their own unreliable spells off the back of the immobilisation associated with Cyclone. Cyclone is without question the most versatile spell in the entire game. If we could focus on a few single use cases and cover every aspect of the item we would. In the case of the Cyclone spell: that's just simply not possible.
