Modifiers []

Cannot dominate Book of the Dead summons, siege creeps, creep-heroes, and Roshan.
- Helm of the Dominator cannot be cast on ancient creeps. Helm of the Overloard can be cast on ancient creeps.

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

Dominating a creep while already having reached the domination maximum causes the oldest dominated creep to die.

The number of max allowed units is bound to the player. Buying a new Helm of the Dominator/Overlord does not allow dominating an additional unit.
- This also goes for the Tempest Double's copied Helm of the Dominator/Overlord.
- When an enemy steals the dominated creep (e.g. Enchant), dominating a new creep does not cause the previous one to die.
- 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 425, 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.

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 425. 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 425. Besides these, all other dominatable creeps have lower movement speed than 425.
