Bloodthorn in the New Dota 2 Update: Choosing Heroes in Patch 7.35

Bloodthorn has become one of the most powerful items in Dota 2 since the release of patch 7.35. Let's take a closer look at which heroes are best to play with Bloodthorn in the new update.

Broodmother with Bloodthorn

In the latest patch, Bloodthorn has undergone crucial changes, with a major focus on its active ability. Now, every attack deals +60 magical damage to the target, making it a must-have in the first slot for Broodmother. The bonus damage is applied by each spider, creating complications for adversaries.

Combining Bloodthorn with Shadow Shaman

It is recommended to pair Bloodthorn with Shadow Shaman, whose Hex complements the Bloodthorn effect. This combination poses a threat that is difficult to counter for two reasons:

• the inability to dispel the effect

• a 35% increase in incoming damage.

These two abilities make killing almost any hero a straightforward task.

Bloodthorn not only accelerates pushing but also eliminates any target, forcing enemies to coordinate their actions. After acquiring Bloodthorn, creating around 40 spiders and attacking Roshan with Hex and Shackles ensure a swift takedown.

Amplifying the Combination: Drum of Endurance and Assault Cuirass

To amplify the combination, using Drum Of Endurance with Assault Cuirass is recommended. This enhances the effectiveness of Bloodthorn, making Broodmother even more menacing. Additionally, note that attacks from Mass Serpent Wards deal additional damage under the influence of Bloodthorn.

Arc Warden with Bloodthorn

Arc Warden is also an excellent choice for the early purchase of Bloodthorn. The combination with two Manta Styles and two Magnetic Fields, supplemented by Bloodthorn, allows for easy destruction of Roshan or any opponent under the effect of Hex. Moreover, Bloodthorn now provides an additional +100 attack speed, making it even more appealing for Arc Warden.

Also, let's not forget that the strongest Dota 2 heroes have been named following the release of the new update.
