Dota 6.64 Bug & Exploits - Kunkka's Quelling Blade

Dota 6.64 Bug & Exploits. Even though the Dota 6.64 is already a stable map, it still contain some bugs/exploits. Watch this out!



If you don't want to see the video, here's the step:
1. Your friend must be the host.
2. Ask your friends (the host) to pick Kunkka.
3. Pick a melee hero and buy a Quelling Blade for yourself.
4. Swap with Kunkka.
5. You got a fully functional Quelling Blade on Kunkka with 32% bonus damage to non-hero unit.

Don't ever drop it or you won't be able to pick up your Quelling Blade again. And it seems only the host that can swap Kunkka to the other safely. Aside that, the Quelling Blade will drop. With the same tricks, you can use Kellen's Dagger on Vengeful Spirits or Pudge. Enjoy!

As usual, this means that the new Warcraft 1.24c Patch is entering the Beta phase and on a couple of days/weeks it will be released into the other Battle.net server. This patch intended to optimizing the map editor and fix some other bug. Especially the "Chapter Six: The Culling" human campaign map that cannot be loaded on the previous Warcraft 1.24b Patch.

Kunkka Updated The Dota 6.65 Loadscreen + Traxex Picture


Today, Kunkka (the Dota loading screen maker) has just made a post in the PlayDota. He said that he'd just made some cosmetic update in the Dota 6.65 loadscreen. Wow, does that means Dota 6.65 is drawing closer? Other than that, he also made a great picture of Traxex. If you're a fan of her, enjoy the picture :) Here is his post:

Hey guys,

just letting everyone know that the next version will have an updated loadscreen. edits are mainly cosmetic, nothing major. so look out for it in the next release..

Also, I finally got to painting single heroes of DOTA, (epic battles are way too tiring ) which are much more fun to do.
Who better to kickstart it than Traxex the Drow Ranger.
She is one of the most iconic heroes in Dota. also partly due to Icefrog's unhealthy obsession with her...
(haha, just kidding Ice)

Murloc Nightcrawler - Slark, the Unfinished Hero?


After the recent post from IceFrog about Nightcrawler video, i make some search and find some interesting facts. Looks like the Nightcrawler is already appear on Dota 6.55 Beta hidden on -SD mode. And some people manage to capture a screenshots and write some explanation about his skills. Of course, the upcoming Nightcrawler on Dota 6.65 can be a totally different from that version. But, who knows ^^?

Here is some screenshots and skill explanation from Dota 6.55 Beta (the first picture above is also from Dota 6.55 Beta version) :


Murloc Nightcrawler � Slark

Strength � 23 + 1.9
Agility � 26 + 2.1
Intelligence � 20 + 1.7
Base Movespeed is 310, and the attack range is 128 ( Melee )

Nightcrawler
The first skill is an enemy unit targeteable, about 1000 range, and you charge against the enemy unit with windwalk, a lot of movespeed and leave a dark trail behind. When you charge the unit and you go across any enemy unit, it gets some kind of "curse" and it deals 10/20/30/40 damage every second for 6 seconds. And there is more, you can cancel the charge and run away, so you can go windwalk for about 20 seconds and lots of ms (25 seconds cooldown) (he has a base ms of 310, with windwalk it gets 465 oO) but then you can't spread this "curse".


Well, seeing the description of Nightcrawler skills from back there, it looks similar to the video on IceFrog blog although not completely same. On the video, we know that the Nightcrawler attacking the victim without revealing himself. But, i think it's worth to mentioned because there are some similarities, become invisible and leave a dark trail. However, we'll never know the true form of the Nightcrawler until IceFrog release the Dota 6.65 (or there's a Dota 6.65 beta leak xD). If you have any other information, just comment on this post ;)

Frozen Hunter, thanks for reminding me there's such a comment back there :)


Update: The Dota 6.65 already released, check out the official Slark the Murloc Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler - Dota 6.65 New Hero?

IceFrog has just post a Dota 6.65 teaser on his blog today. And inside, there's only a video without any comment. But the title is enough to explain everything, that the new hero inside this video is named Nightcrawler. The hero is somehow invisible and has a brown cloud above his head. Geez, i'm curious what kind of hero is that. If you wanna find out, watch below video! ;)


Curious? For your information, Nightcrawler is taken from X-Men character. His ability is able to turned himself into a cloud/smoke. Watch below Nightcrawler video, maybe IceFrog will take the original character into the model :)
