Here are all the heroes you can play in Dota 2 with an Arcana.
Although we had to wait a few more weeks, The International 10 Battle Pass finally arrived. It brought three new Arcanas: for Wraith King, Queen of Pain, and Windranger. This was a surprise, as we were used to having only one Arcana at most. The trend of unlocking Arcanas began two years ago with Valve releasing one for IO.
Last year, Earthshaker was the chosen hero, and now we have three new ones. This means many heroes have cosmetic items. If you’re new to Dota 2 and don’t know them, feel free to read this article. We will list every hero that has an Arcana, starting from the first one.
Lina
The first Arcana released in Dota 2 was for Lina, called Fiery Soul of the Slayer. It was not part of any voting process; Valve simply decided to make it and release it.
Legion Commander
A few months after Lina’s Arcana, Legion Commander got its own, known as Blades of Voth Demosh. You can purchase it from the Steam Shop.
Terrorblade
Terrorblade’s Arcana is Fractal Horns of Inner Abysm. Each TB Arcana has different colors, depending on the gem, making some rare and valuable.
Techies
Techies has an Arcana called Swine of the Sunken Galley Bundle. It is one of the least popular Arcanas but can be purchased from the Dota 2 shop or Steam market.
Shadow Fiend
Shadow Fiend’s Demon Eater is arguably one of the most breathtaking Arcanas. It looks stunning and can be purchased like other Arcanas.
Phantom Assassin
Phantom Assassin’s Manfolx Paradox started the Arcana-vote process. It was released shortly after Shadow Fiend’s and is a unique item.
Crystal Maiden
Crystal Maiden’s Frost Avalanche is a cute Arcana that every player will appreciate. It was released without a voting process and can still be purchased today.
Zeus
Zeus won the Arcana vote in 2015 and still has his Tempest Helm of the Thundergod available for purchase.
Monkey King
Monkey King’s Great Sage’s Reckoning is an amazing Arcana that can be purchased now. He was a successful new-hero release but needed nerfs to balance him.
Juggernaut
Juggernaut’s Bladeform Legacy was voted for during TI 6 and is one of the best-looking Arcanas available.
IO
IO’s Arcana was the first to be given only through a Battle Pass. It was a reward for players who reached a certain level during TI 7. Unfortunately, it is no longer available for purchase.
Pudge
Pudge’s Feast of Abcession is one of the most popular Arcanas. It was voted for during TI 7 and can still be bought today.
Rubick
Rubick’s Magus Cypher was voted for after Pudge and can also be purchased now. He became popular when first released but took time to win the Arcana vote.
Earthshaker
Earthshaker’s Planetfall was given as a reward to TI 9 Battle Pass owners. Unfortunately, it is not available for purchase yet.
Ogre Magi
Ogre Magi was the most surprising TI Arcana winner. He won the vote after beating Windranger in the Grand Final and can be purchased now.
Wraith King
Wraith King’s One True King makes him look similar to his old DotA appearance. It is available in the TI 10 Battle Pass and will become untradable once the pass is over.
Queen of Pain
Queen of Pain’s Eminence of Ristul can be unlocked at level 445 of the TI 10 Battle Pass.
Windranger
Windranger’s Compass of the Rising Gale can be unlocked at level 575 of the TI 10 Battle Pass. This is after failing to win the vote several times in a row.
