Dota 2: Queen Of Pain Tips And Tricks ( Game News )
Queen Of Pain has long been a popular Dota 2 hero. She brings everything necessary to win a game, which is what makes her so strong. This ranged intelligence hero is extremely mobile and prefers the Midlane role to others. Her high mobility enables her to join her allies in sidelanes and kill enemies, easing the laning phase.
Later in the game, she acts as a surprise element due to her blink, as well as the burst damage caused by her high magic damage. She has a variety of item builds, allowing her to deal with any matchup. In this article, we’ll discuss tips and tricks for performing better than ever and having a greater impact on the game’s outcome using her.
Queen of Pain’s Abilities
Shadow Strike
She throws a poisoned dagger at the enemy, which deals damage and slows the target for a duration.
Tips:
Shadow Strike does not pierce Spell Immunity, which means that if your opponent purchases a Black King Bar or gains Spell Immunity through abilities, you will be unable to strike them with Shadow Strike while those spells are active. Heroes like Lifestealer and Juggernaut have a spell that grants them Spell Immunity.
Because the Shadow Strike projectile speed is slow, your enemies can dodge it with abilities like Blink and Sleight of Fist. If you want to make it more difficult for an opponent to avoid this ability, use the “S” key trick, “Fake Casting technique.” Due to the cast animation associated with this ability, when you attempt to cast it on an enemy, they will blink out or activate their Spell Immunity ability to avoid it. Therefore, when the cast animation is about to end, press “S” to stop it, and if your opponent used their ability to avoid it, cast Shadow Strike on them the next time they come forward while their spells are on cooldown.
If you’re facing a ranged hero, it’s best to get Scream Of Pain rather than Shadow Strike, as this ability has a limited cast range and they can easily punish you with physical attacks or abilities if you get too close to cast it.
Shadow Strike is a potent harassment ability that, when used twice, can easily kill a Support, but it is not without flaws. Units with less than 25% health that are subject to the Shadow Strike effect can be denied by allies, resulting in no gold gain from their death.
If you cast this ability on the same target twice while the duration of the first one is still active, the second one will refresh the duration while dealing initial damage and slowing their movement.
Queen Of Pain has a talent that increases the radius of this ability by 525, allowing you to hit all units within that radius. It can help you push lanes faster and hit more enemy heroes with Shadow Strike.
Blink
She can teleport a distance by using this ability.
Tips:
Certain projectile abilities, such as the stun of the Wraith King, can be avoided using Blink.
Queen Of Pain can only Blink in the direction she is facing prior to using it, which means you cannot Blink behind your enemies while not facing them.
You can use this ability to chase down enemies or to escape from a fight, depending on the situation. However, if you don’t have map awareness, this ability can be punishing. For example, if you are pursuing an enemy and Blink on them, you will almost certainly die if their allies arrive to assist. This is largely due to the lack of any other escape mechanism combined with your low armor and HP pool. Even if you Blink out of a fight, a skilled opponent can anticipate your escape and may catch you off guard.
If your opponent has high mobility and can chase you down, try blinking on cliffs or trees to confuse the enemy as to where you have blinked.
Aghanim’s Shard allows Queen of Pain to release a sonic boom. It triggers at both the beginning and end of your Blink. It silences opponents and inflicts damage on them.
Scream of Pain
She deals damage to every unit around her.
Tips:
This ability can interrupt channeling items such as Meteor Hammer and Teleportation.
Queen of Pain is capable of killing enemy units that are invisible or hidden in the fog of war. If you are against invisible heroes and are aware of their location, you can use Scream of Pain to eliminate them.
The only farming ability available to Queen Of Pain is Scream of Pain. You can use it to hit heroes, but it’s a little risky against range heroes due to the close proximity requirement.
This ability cannot pierce Spell Immunity, which means that your opponents will be unaffected if they activate the Black King Bar or other Spell Immunity-granting abilities.
Sonic Wave
She sends a massive sound wave in the direction she is facing, dealing significant damage.
