Hero Facets are one such addition, which gives players a chance to customize how every hero in the game plays.\u00a0Introduced as part of the May 22 update and Patch 7.36, Hero Facets is a Dota 2 mechanic you select before you go into a match. They act as unique abilities for each hero that Valve touts as a \u201ccustomization choice that provides the ability to better align the playstyle of a hero with a specific match or player preference.\u201d Just like with all Innate Abilities, every Hero Facet can completely change how heroes interact in Dota. Here's everything you need to know. What are Hero Facets in Dota 2? Hero Facets are one of two new Dota 2 mechanics introduced in Patch 7.36 on May 22. They are hero-specific abilities tailored to drastically change how a hero plays, depending on which Facet you choose. Every hero in Dota 2 has access to at least two Facets, which can do anything from altering how certain abilities work, letting heroes change how select interactions function, or even providing additional bonuses to common actions. At its core, this is Valve\u2019s way of giving players more control and customization options that will also provide new utility to each hero in different circumstances. How do Hero Facets work in Dota 2? All Facet types explained Here is a breakdown of the Hero Facet mechanic, its limitations, and how the options are selected. Facets are unique to each hero in Dota 2, and every hero has at least two options to choose from. Players select which Facet they want to use during a game during Strategy Time at the beginning of a match. Once chosen, they can\u2019t be changed for the game and are revealed to the enemy team once a match begins. Facets are viewable via the Hero Page, located below the hero names and tags. You can view Facets in-game by hovering over the icon located between hero talent and abilities, on the scoreboard, or on the top view bar when holding \u201cAlt.\u201d Facets are not limited to two effects like Innate Abilities and can completely change how moves, boosts, or other hero-specific mechanics function. All Hero Facets in Dota 2 Here's a list of each Hero Facet in Dota 2, sorted alphabetically by hero. With Dota 2 Patch 7.37, Valve reworked and rebalanced a host of Hero Facets. The dev also added 10 more Facets into the fray, namely for Bristleback, Death Prophet, Doom, Earth Spirit, Huskar, Lone Druid, Lycan, Medusa, Visage, and Void Spirit. On the other hand, two Hero Facets\u2014Medusa\u2019s Mana Pact and Void Spirit\u2019s Symmetry\u2014are no longer present in the game.
