Dota 2 has a new hero - Marci bursts into battle

Valve has released a new patch for Dota 2. In version 7.30e, not only were the items and abilities of the heroes changed, but a new playable character was also introduced. Marci from the Dota 2 anime adaptation is now available to all users. Its basic characteristic is strength, and its attack type is melee. Marci never learned to speak. Just like in the anime, she can only whistle.

Description of the new character

Proving that inexhaustible loyalty gives incomparable strength, Marcy is always ready to join the battle and spares no fists to protect her companions. Easily tossing friends and enemies across the battlefield, she happily rushes into any duel, gives allies a much-needed advantage and uses hidden power, at the sight of which even the gods prefer not to come into conflict with the heroine.

Marcy has many adorers, but few know about her origin. Usually she accompanies Princess Mirana on the way, but the roots of their friendship are woven in such secrets that none of them will reveal unnecessarily. To her allies, she is a ruthless and honest protector. For opponents, however, it is a fearless obstacle on the way to those whom she considers to be a friend.

Foolish opponents may find her physique unremarkable, but her inner strength makes Marcy's strikes incredible. She will destroy everyone who decides to stand in her way, but until her last breath she will be a cold-blooded supporter of the one who deserves her trust.

Marci has abilities that can make her both an assistant in the team and the main striking force. She is able to initiate fights, as well as slow down her rivals, along the way improving the performance of her allies. If things go badly, Marci can quickly leave the battlefield.
