Drow Ranger

Traxex the Drow Ranger is a ranged agility Hard Carry who excels at laning. She is fragile, but is capable of hitting opponents with high DPS. Her first ability, Frost Arrows, adds a slow to her attack for the cost of a small amount of mana. If she manually casts Frost Arrows on an enemy Hero, it will not attract enemy creeps or towers - so with skill she can continually kite a Hero until they die. Her second ability is an area of effect Silence which can be crucial during clashes. Her passive ability gives all ranged nearby heroes a damage bonus, and her ultimate improves her Agility passively.

Traxex, like most carries, has a simple vibe but requires extensive knowledge of the game to be effective. She is recommended for intermediate players.

Tips

 * Manually casting Frost Arrows (known as "orbwalking") will prevent you from drawing creep/tower aggro. This is also needed to kite and escape opponents in a bad situation.
 * An early level of Silence is crucial to defend against spellcasters, although it will still be maxed last.
 * Some players choose to max Precision Aura first for the high attack damage boost, only getting one level of Frost Arrows and Silence pre-level 6.

Trivia

 * Traxex's original design showed her with the same hood on her head but showing no hair and with completely white eyes.
 * Traxex's Ultimate, Marksmanship, was originally a chance to one-hit kill creeps; however, in a DotA Allstars update it was changed to be the passive agility buff she now has.
 * Traxex was featured in the comic "Are We Heroes Yet?"
