Dota 2 Patch 7.40 Released Featuring New Hero Largo

Valve has released patch 7.40 for Dota 2. The update introduces a new hero, Largo, revamps the map, alters talent mechanics, reworks dozens of items, and applies balance changes to nearly all heroes.

This is one of the most extensive updates to the game in recent months.

New Hero: Largo

Largo is a shamanic bard from the Murkrut people, raised on the living island of Velu’Mar. He boosts allies, controls enemies, and alters the course of battle with his musical abilities. His playstyle is based on rhythm and team interaction.

Largo's Abilities

Catchy Lick

  • Licks a chosen target, pulling them a short distance, applying a basic dispel, and dealing damage to the enemy. Upon a successful dispel, Largo gains temporary health regeneration.

Frogstomp

  • Throws froglets into a designated area. They stomp the ground every second, dealing damage, causing a mini-stun, and slowing enemy movement within the area.

Croak of Genius

  • Applies an effect on an allied hero: reduces mana cost for abilities and items, and part of the damage dealt "resonates" over 5 seconds. Each time mana is used, the effect's duration decreases by 0.5 seconds.

Amphibian Rhapsody

  • Switches Largo to musical mode: abilities are replaced by three songs. He is disarmed but can perform melodies in rhythm. Each successful performance grants a Groovin’ stack, increasing armor and reducing mana cost for songs. Missing the rhythm removes a stack. Effects persist for a short time after the song ends.
