Modifiers

modifier_dominated: Dispellable with death only.

modifier_item_helm_of_the_dominator_bonushealth: Dispellable with death only.

Notes:

• Cannot dominate ancient creeps, creep-heroes, Siege Creeps, Necronomicon Archers, Necronomicon Warriors, and Roshan.

• Applies a basic dispel on the target which removes buffs and debuffs.

• Dominating a creep while already having one dominated causes the previous dominated creep to die.

• The number of max allowed units is bound to the player. Buying a new Helm of the Dominator does not allow dominating an additional unit.
  • When owning both, Helm of the Dominator and Helm of the Overlord, Helm of the Overlord takes priority, allowing 2 units.
  • This also goes for the Tempest Double's copied Helm of the Dominator.
  • When an enemy steals the dominated creep (e.g. Enchant), it now longer counts towards the max limit.
  • When the item gets sold or destroyed, the dominated creep dies.
  • The death is not credited to anyone so that no one gets experience from it.

• Sets the target's movement speed to 380, regardless of its default movement speed.

• Sets the target's gold bounty to 100 , regardless of its default bounty.
  • The target's default gold bounty is not granted upon killing it, only the set value is. Its experience bounty is unchanged.

• When the unit's maximum health is below the minimum health threshold, its maximum and current health are increased by the difference.
  • This current health increase does not count as a heal. The unit has its health set to a value.

• The attack damage bonus is added directly to the unit's base attack damage. It is not added as a raw attack damage bonus.

• Does not restore the creep's mana.

• Does not share cooldowns with Helm of the Overlord.

Recommended Heroes

Chen

• Helm gives one more creep to Chen and health regen, that is very important for early game pushes.

Clinkz

• Death Pact can be cast on the dominated unit granting a huge amount of attack damage.

Dark Seer

• Ion Shield can be cast on the dominated unit to do extra damage

Lycan

• Feral Impulse buffs any dominated creep by Lycan and he can make use of the extra unit to push effectively.

Tips

• Dominated creeps can be used to remotely stack an ancient camp. Some creeps have abilities that are very useful, such as Dark Troll Summoner and Ogre Frostmage.
• You can dominate the Alpha Wolf for the helpful damage aura and have it follow your carry.
• A dominated creep can be used as a scout that can be placed inside Roshan's pit. Just be sure not to place it too close to Roshan, so he does not attack it.
• Dominate always sets the creep's base movement speed to 380. The only units which have more than 425 movement speed are Lycan Wolves at level 3 or higher. This means dominating one of them actually reduces their base speed down to 380. Besides these, all other dominatable creeps have lower movement speed than 380.
