Some games are based on a strong plot, but have full linearity, that is, you go through the entire campaign along the route already laid down by the developers. Other games give you the opportunity to explore the open world, complete the tasks that you like, take on story missions only when you want, and so on. But the computer game "Dota 2" is fundamentally different from most games, as it belongs to the MOBA genre, which means a massive online battle arena. Here you have no plot, no open world - just an arena and a huge selection of characters. Moreover, the characters have only four abilities, so the whole point of the game is to learn how to perfectly use the character’s abilities in combination with the items that you provide him with. Here you can find out all the details about one of the popular characters of the game "Dota 2". A shaker is a hero who relates primarily to the support class, therefore, to act alone, you need to study his characteristics and abilities properly.
Basic Shaker Features
In Dota 2, Shaker is a pretty dangerous hero, especially when it comes to close combat. All characters in the game have basic characteristics, as well as additional ones. There are only three basic ones - strength, dexterity and intelligence. Each hero has a bias in one of these three branches, and Shaker has this power. As mentioned earlier, he belongs to the support class, but in close combat he can stand up for himself because his initial strength characteristic is 22, but 2.9 is added with each level - unlike 1.8 for intelligence and 1.4 for dexterity. Accordingly, it is better for you to rely on strength - this is the first tip when pumping the character of the game "Dota 2" Shaker.
Additional Shaker Features
It is much more interesting to look at how things are with Shaker in additional characteristics. In the Dota 2 game, Shaker starts with just over 500 health units, but by level 25 it increases them to about 2250, which is quite a lot to support. His mana is growing from 200 to a thousand. Damage also increases well - by the twenty-fifth level, the Shaker will be able to deal 145 units of base damage. This is not so much, but you will understand why this will be quite enough when it comes to the abilities of this character. Shaker armor increases from two to ten, and the attack speed to the higher level grows to almost one hit per second. So, with the characteristics began a guide to Shaker. Dota 2, however, is much more than just a collection of heroes. Here, the abilities of the characters mean much more, as well as how you know how to apply them.
Fissure
As mentioned earlier, each character has four abilities, each of which is unique. Speaking specifically about the Shaker guide, Dota 2 offers gamers some very interesting abilities that you can use during the game. The first skill that becomes available to you is Fissure, which will be your main weapon throughout the game. With this ability, Shaker creates a rift in the ground that blocks the way for opponents, and also causes them certain damage and stuns for a while. With an increase in ability level, damage and the duration of the camp also increase. Damage from 125 at the first level rises to 275 at the fourth. As for the camp, its duration increases from one second to almost two. But it should be noted here that stunning is not the main advantage - it is important that such a break can be used in various tactical drawings. You can cut off the path of retreat to the enemy, separate your characters from strangers, and save your own life when you need to retreat. The ability to use this ability is sea, so it will be your main weapon in the game if you play as an Earthshaker character. In this case, “Dota 2” creates some obstacles for you, because you cannot cast this skill too often, so you should consider others, because they are also useful.
Enchant totem
The second Shaker ability that you should also pay attention to is Enchant Totem. Your character always carries a totem with which he makes his attacks - this is how Earthshaker works. “Dota 2”, however, is a game in which, if you activate this ability, the next totem hit will be much stronger than usual. For example, at the sixteenth level, the Shaker can deal 100 damage, but if before it activates this ability, the damage will increase to 200. What is even more pleasing is the pumping of this ability, because 200 damage will be at the first level of Enchant Totem. On the second, it will be 300, on the third 400, and on the fourth - all 500 damage. It is very useful when you need to fend off the annoying opponent who has cornered you - then the Shaker is dangerous. "Dota 2", the photo of which is available in the article, offers you a variety of options for using all the skills, so you will need to find the right balance.
Aftershock
Another useful Shaker ability, which allows you to inflict small damage and become an enemy. If you use Aftershock, then using any next ability will shake the earth around you. This will inflict a certain amount of damage to enemies in the affected area - from 75 to 125 units depending on the level of ability, and will also stash them for a time from half a second to one and a half seconds. The whole strength of this ability lies in the fact that it is passive, that is, as soon as you receive it, all your abilities will cause this effect. Therefore, you need to purchase it as soon as possible - as soon as it becomes available.
Echo slam
As always, the heroes of "Dota" have the last ability - the most powerful, so you will need to find proper use for it. Shaker has this skill - Echo Slam. The character attacks the enemy with a special blow, from which he takes much more damage - up to 270 at the highest level. But at the same time, shock waves propagate from the enemy along the sides, which cause damage to all enemies within range. So activate this ability when you find yourself in the thick of opponents.
Shaker Items
Every gamer wants to collect the most powerful sets for Shaker. “Dota 2” is not limited only to them, and you will have to think about even basic subjects. At the very beginning of the game, you should consider that your first ability has high mana costs, so you will need to purchase several flasks with energy. You will also need boots that increase speed, since without them it will be extremely difficult to break away from the enemy. But your main outfit is blink dagger and magic wand. The first item is ideal for use with your strongest skill, and the second will be an invaluable aid in restoring health and mana. As you can see, for success you still need to know specific things on the Shaker. Dota 2 is not a game where you can win without proper preparation.
