Dota 2’s 7.36 update brought major changes to its competitive landscape. All heroes received a new facelift, and they now have unique Innate abilities that further strengthen their hero or team. So, what are Innate abilities, and how does it work in Dota 2?
How Do Innate Abilities Work in Dota 2?
Innate abilities add another layer of power to all heroes in Dota 2. These Innate abilities grant a hero unique effects or the ability to power up a hero’s ability to level five. Since most heroes already have their unique skills, adding another ability promotes a more thought-provoking team composition, such as using Dawnbreaker and Io. Since Dawnbreaker’s Innate ability reveals the whole map on sunrise, Io can grab a teammate and catch enemies who are alone.
