The highly anticipated Dota 2 7.40 patch is here, bringing with it tons of new content to the MOBA, including the brand-new hero, Largo.
The bard frog Largo brings a musical flair to Dota 2 with his two-stringed instrument. Capable of buffing allies with a variety of tunes while also being able to control enemies through his frog minions, Largo is already shaping up to be a fan-favorite hero despite his less-than-ideal win rates.
If you’re looking to find out more about the first bard hero in Dota 2 and the game’s newest support, we’ve got you covered.
Dota 2 Largo Abilities
Here are all the abilities of Largo in Dota 2, as officially confirmed by Valve:
- Encore (Innate): Buffs that Largo applies to himself or his team have extended duration.
- Catchy Lick: Largo licks the targeted unit with his tongue, pulling it back a short distance, applying a basic dispel, and dealing damage if it’s an enemy.
Dispelling an effect from a target grants Largo temporary health regeneration.
- Frogstomp: Largo tosses froglings to an area. They stomp the ground every 1 second, dealing damage and ministuns, and enemies in the area have reduced movement speed.
- Croak of Genius: Largo strums a tune to a friendly hero. The hero’s items and abilities have reduced mana cost, and a percentage of their damage reverberates over the following 5 seconds. When an affected hero spends mana, the remaining buff duration is reduced by 0.5s.
- Amphibian Rhapsody: Largo gets ready to groove. He is disarmed, and his ability bar switches to 3 song abilities, each with different effects. Songs are only effective if strummed on the beat.
Every time he strums successfully, he gains a stack of Groovin’. Each stack gives him bonus armor and reduces the mana cost of every song, but he loses a stack if he misses a beat. Stacks linger for a short duration when Largo’s song ends.
Dota 2 Largo Aghanim Upgrades
Despite being a fresh addition, Largo already has both Aghanim’s Scepter and Aghanim’s Shard upgrades for his abilities.
- Aghanim’s Scepter: Largo can now play two songs per beat by strumming both at the same time. Upon strumming two songs, Largo deals 50 plus 10 magic damage per Groovin’ stack to nearby enemies.
- Aghanim’s Shard: Upon applying a Unit Target buff to a friendly hero, Largo also receives the buff. Self-targeted abilities also apply the buff to the nearest allied hero within the cast range of the targeted ability.
Dota 2 Largo Facets
At the time of writing, Largo doesn’t have any Facets in Dota 2. Similar to other new heroes introduced in the past, they are likely to be added in a future update.
