Dota 2's new hero Marci has arrived - here are her abilities

Earlier this month Valve unveiled the next character coming to the Dota 2 heroes roster: Marci, who actually debuted in the MOBA game's Netflix anime show spinoff, Dota: Dragon's Blood. Well, today's the big day for the new hero's arrival in-game - Marci has come to the live game alongside gameplay update 7.30e, which brings a raft of item and hero balance changes, too.

"Today Marci powers her way from Dota: Dragon's Blood into the battle of the Ancients as the newest hero to join the fight, proving that undying loyalty yields unrivalled power," the studio announces in a blog post shared today on the game's site. "Marci marches into battle ready to raise fists in defence of her companions."

There's a new Marci update page giving us a good idea of what the hero brings, in terms of both her backstory and gameplay styles, and Valve's now shared a full rundown of Marci's abilities, too. From the sounds of it, Marci will mirror her anime counterpart's ability to bring down enemies far bigger than herself given her melee-based ability kit - take a look at the full breakdown of her skills below (via Valve).
