Valve added Dota 2’s newest hero, Ringmaster, in a surprise update on Aug. 22, bringing the game’s hero tally to 125.

Valve finally introduced a new hero called Ringmaster in an update before The International 2024, 17 months after the last hero, Muerta, was added in March 2023. Cogliostro Kettle, a.k.a. Ringmaster, is an Intelligence support hero whose abilities can nuke and disable enemy units. On top of this, he also lets you protect yourself or a teammate using an escape ability that offers resistance to enemy spells.
