Mangix, The Brewmaster

Brewmaster whose name is Mangix may sound familiar to Dota 1 players. But in fact, Brewmaster in Dota 1 is a white panda, while in Dota 2 it is more similar to a bear, lynx or red panda.

Overall, no one knows for sure because according to Lore, Brewmaster is the son of a Celestial. The name "Brewmaster" is taken from his ability to beat the Elders for 9 days in a drunken state!

Not only that, Brewmaster can split into four bear elementals. There's Earth, Ember, Storm, and Void. It is very likely that the Elementals heroes (Ember, Earth, Storm, and Void Spirit) are from Brewmaster.

In his embodiment, Brewmaster looks big in a warrior's outfit. His right hand carries a Flail, while his left hand carries a wooden barrel containing Brew (Alcohol).

In the game, he occupies post 3 as offlaner. Meanwhile from Rolesits, it is included as carry, Initiator, Durable, Disabler, and Nuker. With these five very important roles, he is a very complex hero.

Personally, the author rarely plays this hero because he is not support — Yes, the author is support player. But every time I meet Brewmaster, either as an opponent or as a friend, I can feel that this player is really great.

according to data Liquipedia, During The International (IT) 11, Brewmaster was picked 28 times with a win rate of 50%. This figure is not as high as Primal Beasts, Mars, and Beastmaster as offlaners.

But, according to the chart Dotabuffs when this article was written, Brewmaster's chance win rate experienced the highest increase of 1,71% to 51,95%! This shows that Brewmaster users are increasing and getting better.

After summarizing from various sources, the strongest reason is the skills he has. If you notice, actually, Brewmaster could have the nine roles in Dota 2! Want to know why? Check it out below!

Getting Drunk Is Better

Of course, you shouldn't do this in the real world. This slogan only applies to the Brewmaster.

The basic combo of this hero is Skill Cinder Brew, Thunder Clap, and Drunken Brawler. Cinder Brew (Brewmaster's second skill) is a skill that makes the Brewmaster throw alcohol in a form AoE (Area of Effect).

If the Brewmaster is in the area, he will gain buff in the form of an effect More powerful Drunken Brawler.

Whereas if enemy who are in the area, he will get debuffs. The debuff is in the form of Movement Slow and Ignited. In short, Ignited is a status that makes any further spell damage even greater.

That's when you can take advantage Thunder Clap (Brewmaster's first skill).

The Brewmaster will slam the barrel into the ground and apply an AoE effect. Besides magic damage, Thunder Clap also provides a debuff in the form of slow movement and slow attack for 4 seconds.

With Cinder Brew Combo and Thunderclap Of course, you can "slow down" the enemy's movements twice with great damage.

Drunken Brawler – Main Status Hero Dota 2 Brewmaster

Previously, the writer mentioned Drunken Brawler. If compared, Drunken Brawler is similar to Orbs Invoker or Morphling's Attribute Shift.

Drunken Brawler is a Brewmaster skill that allows him to change "Stances". Remember the Lore above that Brewmaster can split into four bear elementals? Each elemental represents one stance.

Simply put, when someone is drunk, he can have another personality. Right, right? But Brewmaster's personality typifies one elemental fruit. Brewmaster has another call from the "Stance", namely "Brawlers"

Earth Stance give extra 1/3/5/7 armor and 5%/10%/15%/20% magic resistance.

Storm Stance grants 15%/20%/25%/30% evasion and 5%/7%/9%/11% bonus Move Speed.

Fire Stance give 24% chance critical hits of 145%/160%/175%/190% attack damage.

Void Stance (Uses Aghanim's Shard) gives 20% resistance status and gives 25% slow for 2 seconds on each attack.

There are two interesting things about this skill.  First, you don't need cooldown or mana to change stances.  Second, if you get buff from Cinder Brew, D percentageBrawler's runken increased 3 times!

Ultimate Hero Dota 2 Brewmaster – Primal Split!

The ultimate skill of the Brewmaster is to break himself into three bear elementals (four if using Aghanim's Shard). Just like the Lore above before.

The first Elementals are earth — Specialist Stun and Durability. He has three skills.

• Hurl Boulder (active): throws stones at the enemy, dealing damage and stun for 2 seconds.
• Spell Immunity (passive): immune to spells.
• Demolish (passive): gives bonus damage to Buildings.

The second Elementals are Storm — Purge and Escape Specialist. Has three skills.

• Dispel Magic (active): makes waves AoE which can give 1000 damage to summoned units and remove buffs or debuffs.
• Cyclone (active): creates a whirlwind that can lift the enemy for 6 seconds for heroes or 20 seconds for non-heroes.
• Wind Walk (active): Storm gets Invisible effect. He gains a bonus 50% Move Speed and additional damage for the next attack.

The third Elementals are Bucket — Specialist Damage Over Time and Chasers. Has two skills.

• Permanent Immolation (passive): gives a burn effect to nearby enemies of 25/50/70 magic damage per second.
• Permanent Phase (passive): buffs resistance status 30%.
• Out of all, Ember has the greatest move speed. So you can chase enemies who are trying to escape.

The last Elementals are Void — Specialist disabler. He only has one skill called Astral Pulse (active). He will issue a wave that gives the effect of Move Speed Slow to the enemy and Disarm for 2.5 seconds.

The duration of this ultimate is 16/18/20 seconds with a cooldown of 120 seconds.

One of the reasons why this hero's durability is so great is its ultimate. How small is Brewmaster's HP, if he uses Primal Split, all elementals will have full HP!

Then, when the duration is up, the Brewlings (as the bear elementals are called) will reunite with their center in Earth Brewlings.

Brewlings priority order is Earth > Storm > Ember > Void. So, if an Earth Brewlings dies and the duration expires, the Brewmaster will respawn on the surviving Brewlings in that order.

And, in fact, the only way to kill the Brewmaster during this Primal Split is to kill all of the Brewlings. Because, while there is one Brewling alive, the Brewmaster lives on!

So, you can use this skill to initiate, push, jungle, and escape, depending on conditions.

Addition – Primal Companion (Aghanim's Scepter)

If Brewmaster has Aghanim's Scepter, he will get an additional skill called Primal Companion. In essence, he can summon one of the Brewlings based on the Stance he is currently using.

The Brewmaster can only summon one Brewling at a time. If you are in Earth Stance, then Earth Brewling will come out, and so on.

If you have summoned Brewling, you can change any Stance without affecting the Brewling you summoned.

Finally, if Brewling is over 1600, there are multiple penalties. Like movement speed which slows down 50%, can't issue skills, and has a 100% skill cooldown penalty. And, if Brewling dies, Primal Companion's cooldown is increased by 50 seconds.

Conclusion

From the explanation above, it can be seen that Hero Dota 2 Brewmaster is a very good offlaner and is currently popular.

In fact, in terms of skills, Primal Split from Brewmaster is very strong and can fulfill almost all Roles in Dota 2 like Invoker!
