The talk of the town after the release of Dota 2 patch 7.36 is Innate Abilities and Facets.
The introduction of these two abilities for all 124 heroes has completely changed the game.
In the last few days, we looked at the top 10coreandsupportheroes with the best facets in the game.
Here, we look at the top 15 heroes with the best innate abilities.
Innate abilities differ from facets in that they dont offer different road maps to play a hero.
But they can have a significant impact on the way the game shapes up.
A lot of innate abilities are skills repurposed with an additional skill point.
Those are avoided for the most part, and new skills introduced to the game are prioritized.
With his facet Phantasmagoria, all illusions are strong illusions.
Reins of Chaos can add to a lot of additional damage potential to that facet.
Chen
SUMMON CONVERT
Chens innate ability has the same benefits as the facet.
The best thing is, he can pick the facet based on the throw in of game.
Its two for the price of one.
The smart money is on increasing strength, as it gives him a lot of tankiness as well.
Dawnbreaker
BREAK OF DAWN
Break of Dawn is one of the most unique abilities in the game.
Vision is a massive part of Dota 2, especially as you go higher up the ranks.
This can be an absolute game changer for Roshan fights.
Having items delivered quicker can tilt a lane, especially the mid lane.
Ghost Scepters Ghost Form combined with Pierce the Veil is 12 seconds of immunity from physical damage.
Supernatural could make Muerta a good pairing with Pugna!
Oracle
PROGNOSTICATE
Prognosticate can have massive implications during the laning phase.
For a mid player to know where the rune is coming up is huge deal!
Even something like using Decrepify as you are teleporting out can help with survival.
Shadow Shaman
FOWL PLAY
Extremely frustrating innate ability to play against.
Fowl Play is basically a built in Aeon Disk from the beginning of the game.
The only catch is that your team needs to be aware of Wisdom Rune timings.
