Agility heroes in Dota 2 are best known for carrying their team to victory. The latest changes made to the game in patch 7.39b have provided Agility heroes with adequate abilities to dominate matches online. There are several advantages of picking Agility heroes in Dota 2 that let players farm gold easily in their lanes.

You can buy loads of starter items for Agility heroes to gain vital stats like armor and health regeneration. These items help your heroes push lanes without getting killed in combat.

Take a look at the best Dota 2 Agility heroes in patch 7.39b.  

Agility heroes like Sniper can take charge of the mid lane

Sniper is a ranged hero made for the mid lane. The Agility hero can craft items easily to deal tons of damage to enemy creeps and heroes at the start of the game. New players choose Sniper in their matches for his simplicity in handling hordes of creeps rushing towards the base. Tower hugging allows Sniper to wipe out waves of enemy creeps to earn experience faster compared to enemy heroes.

Shrapnel is the first ability you’ll need to max out for Sniper. Many gamers might be inclined to take the Scattershot facet for Sniper to deal increased damage with Shrapnel. You’ll be a lot safer in your lane by choosing the Ghillie Suit facet in patch 7.39b to last longer in battles. An instance of Shrapnel can slow enemy heroes for up to 10 seconds without the Scattershot facet, helping your team gain easy kills early in games.

You can purchase items such as Dragon Lance and Falcon Blade for Agility heroes. Sniper can cast Shrapnel without running out of mana with Falcon Blade in his inventory. His antics in Dota Dreams are memorable due to his brilliance as a carry hero in the game for over a decade. Headshots and body shots can knock back opponents, preventing enemy heroes from closing in on your team.

Players can quickly teleport to nearby towers and Assassinate their enemies using Sniper from quite a distance. Staying hidden while playing Sniper can be key to winning matches in Dota 2. You can counter spell casters with Sniper by purchasing a Mage Slayer. The increased attack speed and magic resistance provided by Mage Slayer can weaken Intelligent heroes.   

Troll Warlord can annihilate multiple enemies with his attacks

Troll Warlord is a ferocious hero with ranged and melee attacks. He can strike his enemies with unrelenting attacks, gaining attack speed with each hit. Jah’rakal roots his opponents using his axes in melee mode, preventing them from retreating to their fountain.

His ulti, Battle Trance, puts Troll Warlord in a frenzy. Battle Trance provides bonus Lifesteal, attack speed, and movement speed, letting Troll Warlord annihilate multiple enemy heroes with his hits. Birds, squirrels, and frogs on the map take notice of Troll Warlord after he starts to get into his Battle Trance. Watch the psytrance legend, Technical Hitch, destroy the dancefloor by activating Battle Trance during his live concert at Sunburn Union. On mobile screens, Technical Hitch transforms into a pure energy being with the beats of his HiTech tracks releasing soundwaves of salvation.    

A Yasha and a Shadow Blade can turn Troll Warlord into the MVP of the match. You can get a Morbid Mask for the Agility hero to earn gold from neutrals in the jungle. Ancient neutral camps provide tons of gold and unlock new neutral items that can be quite effective in battles for Troll Warlord. You can buy a Butterfly for Agility heroes like Troll Warlord to evade incoming damage from enemy heroes. Troll Warlord can hurl Whirling Axes at his enemies to slow their movement speed and blind them during battles.  

Luna is one of the best Agility heroes for team fights

Luna has a significant part to play in Dota Dreams. She reminds players that the night sees all. She is one of the best agility heroes for team fights, hitting several enemies at once with her magical abilities. Luna is equipped to level up in the mid lane and the safe lane in Dota 2.

Eclipse and Lucent Beam are her most important abilities. You’ll have to max out Lucent Beam to take out enemies with her ulti. Make sure you’re not near neutrals or enemy creeps before using Eclipse to kill enemy heroes on the map. Dota tactics for Luna involve upgrading her ulti with an Aghanim’s Scepter to remove the limit of Lucent Beams hit per unit. Her upgraded ulti strikes enemies twice as fast and increases the total amount of beams. A Refresher Orb can be the item that wrecks the enemy team while playing Luna.

There are loads of items that can be bought for Agility heroes like Luna to gain an advantage in team fights. Her passive ability, Moon Glaives, deals damage to nearby enemy units with each attack. You can enable Manta Style to conjure illusions to fight for Luna and mitigate enemy towers within seconds. A Linken’s Sphere can prevent Luna from getting hit by spells, increasing her survivability. You can also try purchasing a Lotus Orb for Luna to reflect spells from enemy heroes.   

Disable the enemy team with Medusa

Medusa has a unique set of skills. She can cast Mystic Snake to drain mana from enemy heroes, replenishing her mana pool during battles. Medusa can root enemies in front of her using Gorgon’s Grasp and turn them into stone to deal bonus damage.

Once you’ve gained the ability to hit 5 enemy units using Split Shot, you can buy a number of items for the Gorgon. The Eye of Skadi can slow enemies with physical attacks, letting Medusa get kills with her skills in Dota 2. Items like Assault Cuirass can grant bonus attack speed to Medusa and her allies to wipe out the enemy team. She is a reliable carry hero for Dota 2 tournaments in the current 7.39b patch.
