  • The Flying Courier is not a valid target for most spells. A list of spells which affect the courier can be found here.
  • The courier can be upgraded even while it is dead. This does not affect the respawn time of the current death.
  • The upgrade causes the courier to take 50% more damage from melee attacks than from ranged attacks.
  • Its respawn time gets increased to 90 seconds.
  • It is possible to have multiple Flying Couriers. However, only the first created courier reacts on the courier button.
  • All couriers are controllable by the entire team, no matter who buys and deploys the courier.
  • When a courier dies, the opposing team's heroes get 175 gold each. If there already is a dead courier, no gold is granted.
    • However, an enemy making the killing blow on a courier always gets the 175 gold bounty.


Trivia[]

  • Prior to the July 14, 2017 Patch, Flying Courier's passive ability, Upgrade Courier, did not have an official name. The name was taken from the Dota 2 Wiki and officially implemented into Dota 2.
