What are global and AEO abilities in Dota 2?

Each hero in Dota 2 has unique spells and every single spell has a high potential if used perfectly. In Dota 2 two abilitiy types exist: active and passive. Active abilities require instruction from the player and passive abilities work on its own.

Global abilities are rare abilities, and only a few heroes acquire it in Dota 2. It means that the full Dota 2 map is somehow effected. Global spells do not have a range limit. For example, the Zeus ulti damages all of the 5 enemy heroes with a lightning bolt out of the sky no matter where they are. They get instantly shot and are made visible on the map. Global abilities are special abilities and often the ultimate spell of a hero.

AOE Abilities are abilities that can affect an area of effect instead of one single target. These spells also can kill multiple enemies at the same time. If a few AOE spells are combined together it can destroy a full enemy team. Check out the table above to find good synergies for your party.

When is the Best Time to use AOE Spells in Dota 2?

AOE spells are meant to be in Dota 2 to affect enemies in an area. Most AOE spells are stronger than usual spells as well as they are also harder to use. AOE spells consume more mana than usual spells and most of the time have a high cooldown. It is efficient to use AOE spells in an area where more than two enemies are standing or a lot of creeps are involved.

The perfect moment to use AOE spells requires teamplay. One player should always use active spells to gather enemies to one area, like Darkseer’s Vacuum or Magnus Reverse Polarity Ultimate. That allows to even hit 5 enemy heroes at the same time and can make tremendous damage to win the game!

A strong beneficial example of AOE Spell heroes is Lion. After getting Aghanim’s Spectre you can use Lion’s Ulti in an area. Each death with Ulti gives 1 charge and each charge adds 40 damage to the Ulti. If you have Enigma or Magnus in your team and they can successfully capture all the enemy heroes. This is the perfect time to get a Rampage in just one hit trough AOE spells.
