Phantom146's guide to the Arrow Princess

"A short but effective guide from the man who made not so popular guides"


Introduction

Hero:
~Mirana is without a doubt a hero that you should never miss to try at least once on your dota life. Indeed, she became infamous and went a little downhill since the start of 6.69 onwards; but does not make any difference on her games. Also known as potm, this hero is without a doubt, one of the most flexible hero in the game, along with Necro'lic and Beastmaster, she can be any kind of hero you would like her to be, and as such would suit your team play. Upon the metagame, Mirana is famous for her arrow, which when armed with a skilled player and quick thinking, should dominate any lane whether against tanks or abusive nukers.

If not mistaken; the best way to learn a hero is by playing with him almost all the time. The fact that Mirana needs a skilled player to properly execute a successful decease, playing a lot and sometimes exploring the map could help lessen the tense and pressure you are putting just to make a quick kill.

The guide is aimed for players whom at least played once or do play mirana sparingly. This is not a detailed guide. Screenshots will only be shown on the arrow and skill part and no extra terrestrial humors found on this guide. Press Alt + F4 or click Backspace if you are not interested with short but concise and complete guides.

About the Author:
~I am a Filipino. Currently studying at De La Salle and lives on Malabon. What else could I tell? my favorite clan internationally is without a doubt Nirvana and locally HAPPYFEET. I play Mirana sparingly, though before I used her almost everyday. I am a very skilled player of Pudge, my friends call me "Pudge of the Philippines" translated "Pudge ng Pinas" which means I kick butt.

I only have three heroes. I play nevermore too, and is pretty good at razing. Pudge of course which was usually banned on competitive games and inhouse game. And last is PoTm, which I owe this guide to. In short words "Filipino Pride!"

The Guide







Starfall

Calls down a wave of meteors to damage each nearby enemy. One random enemy unit within 175 aoe will get hit again for half the damage.

Level 1: Deals 75 damage per wave
Level 2: Deals 150 damage per wave
Level 3: Deals 225 damage per wave
Level 4: Deals 300 damage per wave

Cooldown: 12 seconds
Manacost: 100/120/140/160

Notes
• Damage type: magical
• One random enemy unit in a 175 AoE around her has a chance to get hit again by Starfall and take half of the said damage.
• This skill is not blocked by Linken's Sphere.





Starfall, is Mirana's only nuke that has a massive outburst. It can easily make Mirana a terrifying lane opponent and a horrifying pusher. Starfall also provides massive damage to those whom we're beside her, especially if succesfully executed with an arrow. The shooting star if done properly can easily make heroes from early up to mid game on the verge of danger. This is paired with Elune's Arrow and is to never be used on a moving target unless blocked or slowed.
