Kez has become a unique hero in Dota 2, capable of using a total of 9 abilities

Kez, the new Dota 2 hero, has been assigned a third-level difficulty rating due to the vast number of abilities at his disposal. Only 13 heroes in the game have this level of complexity, known for their incredibly challenging mechanics.

Valve has included him in the list of most difficult heroes to master because of his unique gameplay. Kez can switch his fighting styles, alternating between a katana and sai. Depending on the chosen weapon, the hero's active abilities change as well. This mechanic may remind players of Invoker’s spheres, which combined to provide entirely different abilities.

It’s anticipated that the new Dota 2 hero will be suitable for carry and mid positions. However, with the hero released only a few hours ago, players are still testing which role Kez performs best in.

• Arc Warden

• Earth SpiritInvoker

• Io

• Lone Druid
