Many players in “Dota” know firsthand such a heroine as Lina Inverse. Fiery sorceress in a cloak and with red hair. And the character’s voice acting suggests her wild temper. But only few people know that this hero was borrowed from the anime series "Grunts", and fans have the right to violently swear at plagiarism.
History
The appearance of this character can be attributed to 1989. It was then that the first anime series "Grunts" was released, based on the novels of Hajime Kanzaki. At this point, Lina Inverse gained immense popularity not only in Japan, but also beyond its borders.
From this moment begins her story. This 15-year-old girl had a fairly simple fate. Mercenary parents and waitress sister. Having learned in the guild of magicians, she went in search of adventure. By the time the viewer became acquainted with this character, she already managed to get a fairly high-profile reputation as a killer of bandits.
The strength level of Lina Inverse is not accurately measured. Throughout the series, with each season, she gains more and more abilities and learns the most powerful spells. However, here's an entertaining fact. At the very beginning of the adventure, when the viewer is just starting to get to know her, she already knows how to use the “most powerful spell in the world” - Dragon Slave, which became the prototype of the first skill of this hero in “DotA”.
Appearance
In terms of external indicators, the characters of the anime and DotA are very different. We can say that they have only a name in common, red hair and the name of the attack.
What is the image of the heroine of the audience of the series "Grunts"? Lina Inverse looks like a typical young girl. Many characters of the same cartoon believe that she has too childish forms. She usually wears a black cloak, pink pants, a yellow T-shirt, shoulder pads and a hoop on her head.
At the same time, the character of Dota is a middle-aged woman in open robes. She’s definitely not a modest woman, and her facial features are far from what the viewers are used to seeing on the screen.
"DotA"
But the game presents us with a different story of a girl named Lina Inverse. "Dota", or rather its creators, significantly changed their biography, apparently, precisely so that they would not be sued for plagiarism. Why it was impossible to simply change the name of the hero is a mystery.
Lina Inverse grew up in the same way with her sister, only this time she became another heroine of the game - Crystal Maiden. The violent disposition of both girls is noted, who regularly destroyed the house with their brawls, as a result of which they and their parents were forced to regularly move. When my father got tired of the situation, Lina Inverse was sent to the desert to her aunt. The main character traits of the pupil of such a harsh place were pride and self-confidence.
For those who want to learn how to play well for this character, there are professional guides for the heroes of Dota. To fully master this heroine, you will have to study in detail all of her opponents. And here we give some builds and pumping options.
Kerry
We start not with the most common role in the game, but at the same time quite effective in experienced hands. Lina Inverse has several possible assemblies due to its diverse mechanics skills.
- Dragon Slave - burns everything in a cone in front of the hero.
- Light Strike Array - Stuns and deals damage to enemies in a small circle.
- Fiery Soul - speeds up the character when using skills (but not items).
- Laguna Blade - Deals huge damage to a single target.
In general, you can see that you can use this character as a pusher, and as a ganker, and as a support. But collect items with caution.
So, consider a build based on an attack. The fact is that the speed of skill rollback after a complete roll-out of all skills allows Lina Inverse to maintain the 3rd passive continuously. So, having collected the gear for her damage "from hand", you can quickly make enemies, provided that the tanks will not let them reach you.

Thus, the pumping of skills should take place according to the following scheme. On the first level, you take the camp (2). After that, boldly upset your passive. Then, in turn, download the first skill and passive, not forgetting to pick up the ultimate at the 6th level. The choice is determined by the fact that, when collecting a character in carry, you need to maintain balance in damage. Pumping the camp gives a smaller increase in damage than Dragon Slave, which means pumping it to a character whose strength does not depend on the power of the skill, but on the quantity, makes little sense. Pumping the camp can be postponed until the very end of the match, giving preference to the “pluses”.
What to say on the body kit? Your attack speed will already be quite high. Therefore, you will first need to collect "Aganim" to strengthen the ults, Bloodstone for health, mana and regen, and as soon as possible. The rest is up to you. The storm is good for crits and orchids. Boot on speed. In the remaining slot, you can put, for example, a refresher.
Support
This role Lina Inverse wins back at 100%. Due to powerful prokasta without taking into account resistance, it deals 1370 damage. With the collected aganim, she gives 400 damage more due to the ult.
The main task of this character, collected in support, is to fire a volley of all guns and go to the rep, but it is better to step aside and support the allies with auras and control obtained from objects - aul and hex. Shiva and the necronomicon are also suitable.
As for skills, everything is much simpler here. Download the first two attackers in turn. At the 5th level, we take the passive, at the 6th - the ult, and then we upset active skills. Improvement of passivation can be postponed to later levels.
Summary
What can be said in the end? Lina Inverse fully justifies her character in both the anime and DotA. The fiery sorceress will not let her opponents get bored, quickly and efficiently frying them to a crisp. We hope that the presented guides on the heroes of "Dota" will help you in dealing with this violent lady.
