We take a look at how good the nine reworked Aghanims Scepters from Dota 2 patch 7.31 are.
Along with that, some of the old Scepters were reworked.
Pit of Malice slows enemies by 40%.
Possibly the worst reworked Scepter of Dota 2 patch 7.31.
A good amount of gold to get a Pit of Malice that doesnt even root?
There are a lot of other team fight items Underlord can get for that price.
- Oracle (3/10)
Reworked Scepter.
Grants Rain of Destiny.
Brings forth rain on a 650 unit area for 10 seconds.
Enemies standing in the area receive 50 damage per second and have -25% heal amplification.
The worst part is, it doesn’t even stay on a hero that ventures out of the AoE.
Unless there is a setup like Chronosphere, the full potential of the Scepter wont be utilized anyways.
But on the whole, a Scepter Oracle probably didnt foresee.
- Techies (4/10)
Reworked Scepter.
Reactive Tazer can be cast on allies within 500 range and deals 300 damage in its final detonation.
Reactive Tazer is the least impressive skill the reworked Techies have.
- Marci (5/10)
New Scepter: Reduces Unleash cooldown by 10 seconds.
While Unleash is active, Marci’s abilities trigger Unleash pulses.
Not the most lucrative Scepter.
This is a tricky Scepter to rate.
The skill is toggleable and can be kept on indefinitely.
It isnt lethal for Bloodseeker, and takes the hero heal for Thirst to 37.5%.
Playing fast and loose with it will have a detrimental effect.
It is beneficial for a right click Bloodseeker, but not really over six initial items.
But with that now out of the equation, Dazzle is pushed back to a support role again.
Dazzles Scepter essentially guarantees 12 seconds of BKB (double BKB usage), which can be game changing.
- Magnus (7/10)
Reworked Scepter: Increases Shockwave range by 150 and radius by 50.
Affected units recover over 5 seconds.
The additional damage from the eruption looks very similar to Elder Titans Split Earth.
The issue with the Scepter is what position Magnus builds it?
But it could be a bit of fun in pubs.
Reveals invisible enemy units and wards in the area for 5 seconds.
The good part is that there is a strong new tool in Pucks arsenal.
A Scepter worth getting.
The 40% blind benefits Windys allies, because she herself has 100% evasion during Windrun.
Reduces Replicate cooldown by 20 seconds.
However, it has its own upsides.
And the stat steal is just amazing!
It leaves the affected hero with significantly lesser HP, mana, armor and damage.
Depending on opposition heroes, definitely an item worth investing in for Morphling in the right games.
- Rubick (8/10)
Aghanim’s Scepter no longer reduces cooldown.
Aghanim’s Scepter now lets you steal 2 spells.
One of the best Scepters to come out patch 7.31 is Rubicks new Scepter!
The ability to steal two spells is priceless.
Rubick can now have three disables or even three nukes.
Depending on the spells that are available to be stolen, he can be a one man combo machine.
The seconds DPC Season of the Dota 2 year is just around the corner.
