Values do not include portions from actives or auras.

Each attribute has its own set of items that focus on boosting it. These items are different for each attribute. In order to categorize them, they're split into 5 different sections:

• Tiny Items consist only of Iron Branch and boosts all attributes by 1. This item is usually taken as a starting item to make up for gaps in a hero's statistics.
• Small Items boost their associated attribute by 3, or all attributes by 2. These items are usually taken as starting items to make up for gaps in a hero's statistics.
• Medium Items boost their associated attribute by 6, or all attributes by 4. Though generally not taken to increase attributes, these items are usually components of many midrange items.
• Large Items boost their associated attribute by 10, or all attributes by 6. These items are usually components in more powerful items, and almost never bought just for the stats.
• Ultimate Items boost their associated attribute by 25, or all attributes by 15. These are mostly used to make late game items because of how expensive they are and how cost-ineffective they are per point of stats.
• Besides the items in the table, Ghost Scepter is another basic item that boosts all attributes by 5. All other items that grant attributes are upgrades, and are all derived from one or multiple of the 17 items listed below.

Iron Branch +1 All Attributes	Small	Medium	Large	Ultimate
All Attributes	Circlet +2 All Attributes	Crown +4 All Attributes	Diadem +6 All Attributes	Ultimate Orb +15 All Attributes
Strength	Gauntlets of Strength +3 Strength	Belt of Strength +6 Strength	Ogre Axe +10 Strength	Reaver +25 Strength
