Muerta added to Captain’s Mode with new Aghanim’s Scepter and Shard upgrades

The latest Dota 2 hero, Muerta, is now available in Captain's Mode and she also bags her own unique Aghanim upgrades! The Mournful Revenant has only been in Dota 2's hero pool for two months but it seems like she's in good shape to join the gang in professional games. Check out the Muerta changes that came alongside the gigantic Patch 7.33 below.

Aghanim's Scepter grants Muerta a new ability called Parting Shot. When you use Parting Shot against an enemy hero, it will separate their soul from their body for four seconds. The enemy can control the soul and not the body.

The body will be stunned throughout the duration and it has a 50% damage reduction. Meanwhile, the soul is able to move and cast spells. However, it is muted and disarmed.

The spell definitely has pros and cons and should be used with caution. Due to its strong disarming ability, this will be highly effective against right-click heroes and not so against magical heroes.

After the duration ends, the soul returns to the body and all negative debuffs are removed. If the body dies during the duration, the soul will still be alive until the four seconds end. Parting Shot lands an initial 300 damage.

The Aghanim's Shard upgrade for Muerta is pretty simple. It upgrades the ultimate, Pierce the Veil, to give Muerta a 30% Spell Lifesteal throughout the entire ultimate duration. But the best part is it allows Muerta to gain 2% Spell Amplification every time-

Aside from the additions of Aghanim's Scepter and Shard upgrade, there were also tweaks to Muerta's abilities.

In light of the new overall nerf to stuns and disables, Muerta's Ricochet 'fear' duration has been decreased. Her second ability, The Calling, is also nerfed as the spell duration and the silence duration are decreased. And finally, her Level 10 Talent Dead Shot damage has been decreased from 100+ to 80+.

That's all for Muerta's changes in the latest Dota 2 update! Check out more changes to Dota 2 including a larger map, major gameplay changes, and more on Esports.gg.
