As long as the target is quiet, the cooldown is halted. The duration of any spell cast by afflicted opponents is enhanced. Enemies who are silenced take 1.7 times the amount of slow and damage. Move Speed Slow: 9%/12%/15%/18% (Talent 17%/20%/23%/26%)Įffect: Curses the target region, inflicting damage on enemy heroes and decreasing their movement speed. In addition, Glaives of Wisdom should be increased by 1 point initially to harass and gain Intelligence when ganking. On the contrary, if the enemy is a hero that can cast skills that cost less mana, you can max out Last Word first because then, Curse of the Silent will have almost no effect on the enemy. If the opponent is a skilled hero that uses a lot of mana, you should max out Curse of the Silent first, use it to force the opponent to use the skill and consume all of your mana. There are two ways to increase Silencer's skill, depending on the target enemy hero in the same lane. A well-timed Global Silence can save you or an ally, start a teamfight, or sabotage the enemy's initiation. Nortrom's ultimate, Global Silence, temporarily silences all opponent troops on the map. This not only rewards his presence in teamfights, but it also strengthens his glaives as the conflict progresses. Glaives of Wisdom is an active attack modifier that does pure damage equal to a percentage of Nortrom's intellect and steals intelligence with each strike.įurthermore, the glaives allow him to take the intellect of enemy heroes who die near him or are directly slain by him and add it to his own intelligence. The consequences are the same if the victim does not perform a spell before the curse period expires. If Nortrom's target casts a spell, Last Word casts a curse that harms and silences the victim for a long time.

Arcane Curse slows and causes foes to lose health for a specific period of time, but the length of the debuff increases with each spell the enemy performs, compelling them to either wait until the debuff expires or cast spells and risk taking more injury. Throughout the game, he is a well-known anti-caster hero who can cripple spellcasters and impair their magical skills.

The intelligence to topple the biggest empires.Silencer is a ranged smart hero that may be used as a support, carry, or initiator in battle. With intelligence far greater than any man could ever imagine.

And Silencers peak is nothing short of having the intelligence of a being from a Kardashev scale level 5 society while everyone else is dumber than a fucking rock.Īll in all, I realize that Silencer isn’t just a guy who hates loud noises. Silencer mathematically is more likely to win. No matter how late the game will go, Silencer will always get stronger and you will always get weaker. Silencer removes the enemy int and gives it to his brain. No matter how late you take the game, the team with the Silencer will most likely win. With a single word, “SILENCE!”, he changes the laws of the universe and ends all sound from existence. Silencer, using the power of his fucking hand slamming the ground can ruin every single team fight imaginable. Depending on how you play silencer, you’re either pushing the other team out of lane or you’re getting every last hit and deny like some sort of miracle worker. To start off, his base damage, his glaives, and his curse in lane. I write this at 3 am to explain why silencer is literally the most overpowered hero in Dota and how it helped me find God.
