Dota 2 November 8th Update Introduces New Hero Kez

Dota 2 Kez

Without further ado, let’s check out all the abilities of the new hero Kez, as confirmed by Valve:

AbilityExplanation
Switch DisciplineKez’s arsenal includes the versatile Kazurai Katana and the potent Shodo Sai. By switching between these weapons, he gains access to distinct attack patterns and special abilities. As his hero level rises, the cooldown time for these weapon-specific actions decreases.
Echo Slash
(Katana)
Kez performs a swift forward dash, slicing through enemies with his katana. This attack deals a percentage of his attack damage and slows affected targets. After a short delay, Kez unleashes a follow-up strike on the same location, dealing significant bonus damage to enemy heroes.
Grappling Claw
(Katana)
Kez launches himself towards a designated target unit or tree using a grappling hook. The target is immobilized and slowed during the hook’s trajectory. Once Kez lands, he immediately strikes with a powerful attack that restores his health equal to the damage dealt.
Kazurai Katana
(Katana)
Kez launches himself towards a designated target unit or tree using a grappling hook. The target is immobilized and slowed during the hook’s trajectory. Once Kez lands, he immediately strikes with a powerful attack that restores his health equal to the damage dealt.
Raptor Dance
(Katana)
Kez enters a one-second channeling phase, during which he becomes immune to any negative effects and gains complete protection against magic damage. If the channel is not interrupted, he performs a wide-ranging slash attack that deals damage proportional to the target’s maximum health. As a reward for completing the channel, Kez is healed for a percentage of the damage dealt and all harmful effects are removed from him.
Falcon Rush
(Sai)
Kez rushes towards enemy targets, delivering a flurry of secondary attacks that echo and bounce off nearby enemies. During this rush, he can phase through obstacles, allowing him to maneuver through the battlefield with ease. Additionally, his attack speed is less affected by traditional attack speed items, enabling him to maintain a high attack rate regardless of itemization.
Talon Toss
(Sai)
Kez launches a Sai at a designated target. The Sai explodes upon impact, dealing significant damage to enemies in the vicinity and silencing them, preventing them from using abilities.
Shodo Sai
(Sai)
Kez’s attacks and abilities with the Sai have a chance to mark enemies. Marked enemies are slowed, and the next time Kez attacks a marked target, the attack will always land and stun the enemy, dealing critical damage.
Kez can activate a defensive stance, disarming himself and locking his facing. For two seconds, he can parry attacks and negate their effects. Successful parries stun and mark the attacker.
Raven’s Veil
(Sai)
Kez unleashes a wave of smoke that envelops nearby enemies, marking them with a Sai Mark that increases their chance to parry attacks. The smoke also briefly obscures their vision. Kez himself becomes cloaked in the smoke, gaining increased movement speed and invisibility until he chooses to attack or cast a spell.
