How to play Witch Doctor | Game Guide

Hello, today in this post I am here to teach you about the support hero Witch Doctor.

The hero Witch Doctor is a powerful support. This hero has the ability to revive his teammates, and also has the ability to stun enemies.

With his Ultimate ability, he can also deal heavy damage to enemies. This ability becomes extremely deadly when you purchase an Aghanim’s Scepter.

Hero strengths:

His stun annoys the opponent.
His ultimate deals a lot of damage and has a short cooldown.
He has relatively good range and can more easily harass or apply pressure on nearby enemy carries.
He doesn’t need many items and has very good mana.

Weaknesses:

Targeted by enemy heroes.
If you move during the ultimate, the stun stops.
Has no escape, at least until Glimmer Cape is purchased for them.

Witch Doctor Game Guide Dota 2 : Skills:

Paralyzing Cask:

The number one skill of the hero Witch Doctor is used for stunning enemy heroes as well as creeps.

The powder barrel moves between enemy units at a speed of 1000.

It deals magical damage.
It has a decent range.
It is suitable for trapping two or more enemy heroes.

Voodoo Restoration:

Skill number 2 is used to heal your own heroes.

A suitable skill for strong hard support.
Each time this skill is used, a certain amount of the Witch Doctor’s mana is consumed.

It deals some magical damage.
It remains active as long as you keep moving the hero. In other words, it stays active until you deactivate this skill or your mana runs out.

Maledict:

Skill number 3 causes all enemy forces in an area to be cursed.
They take a certain amount of damage every second.
Every 4 seconds, they also take damage equal to the amount of health they have lost since the curse began.

Death Ward:

And now, the Ultimate ability: it places a ward on the ground that deals significant damage to enemies.

An important point when using the ultimate is that you must not move. A single movement will deactivate the ultimate.

Before purchasing Aghanim’s Scepter, the ultimate targets only one enemy. After buying Aghanim, it affects multiple heroes simultaneously.

How To play Witch Doctor Dota 2: ( The role of the support carry )

If you want to play Witch Doctor as both a support and a carry, simply choose and upgrade your first and third abilities at the beginning of the game.

Using your first ability, Paralyzing Cask, you can stun enemy heroes. If you want to stun more enemy heroes, just upgrade this ability and then use it on two enemy heroes. This ability bounces from one hero to another in sequence, stunning them. Also, the best way to farm creeps is by using this ability.

After you use Paralyzing Cask on enemy heroes, immediately use your third ability, Maledict, on them as well. This way, in addition to being stunned, they will take extra damage every second from Maledict.
Additionally, the best way to kill enemy heroes who are trying to escape is by using this ability.

And now the final tip:
If your level is 6, you can activate the ultimate(Death Ward) witch doctor and use it to plant a ward on the ground, dealing significant damage to enemy heroes within the ward’s range.

Important tip:

Be sure to use the Paralyzing Cask ability on enemy heroes first.
Then, cast the Maledict ability on the enemies as well.
Make sure this ability hits multiple enemy heroes.
Finally, use your ultimate ability to strike the enemy heroes.

Witch Doctor Items:

Witch Doctor is in great need of mana.
So try to buy items that provide mana early on.
