Heroes are the essential element of Dota 2, as the course of the game is dependent on their intervention. During a match, each faction is divided into teams of 5 heroes that accumulate experience and gold. Once a hero has enough experience, they will level up, making them more powerful than before and allowing them to level up new abilities. Most Heroes have a distinct role that defines how they can affect the battlefield, though many heroes can perform two or more of these roles.

Currently, 110 of the 112 heroes are playable in the main Dota 2 client. For a table of heroes sorted by attributes and mechanics, see Table of Hero attributes.

Heroes
In Dota 2, heroes have one of three primary attributes: Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Any points added to a hero's primary attribute will increase that hero's attack damage.
