Dota 2’s new hero Muerta is here, accompanied by new event and sets

Strap in folks, Dota 2‘s new hero Muerta is set to pop heads and take names. Dropping into Valve’s iconic MOBA on March 6, the spectral gunslinger is accompanied by a new mini-game and some Day of The Dead-inspired character sets that are a must-have for players who love the aesthetic.

And so death walks the grounds of Dota 2’s ever-evolving arena, and boy does she look good doing it. Meet Muerta, the latest hero to join the game’s ever-expanding character roster.

Described as being so good at ending lives that “Death himself put her on the payroll,” the Latin-inspired sharpshooter “shepherds wayward souls to the other side, whether they want to get there or not.” So, as you can imagine, she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Muerta is described as a ranged carry who specialises in disabling players. Her abilities are below:

Powerful, am I right? Given that I prefer to play ranged carries, Muerta is a dream come true for me (or a nightmare, depending how you look at it). The Calling is perfect for lining up enemies to pop with Dead Shot, and I was to just drop her ultimate to see her transform because that animation is stunning.

With Muerta’s arrival comes the Dota 2 Dead Reckoning event, which is set to run from March 6 to April 4.

Players will be able to take part in a new limited-time mini-game called ‘The Quick and The Dead,’ which is a deathmatch-style mode that sees players duke it out to score the most kills and assists. Whoever gets the most points (known as ‘Muerta’s Flowers’) wins!

You’ll also be able to use your Flowers to buy Dead Reckoning Chests, which include all-new item sets for Anti-Mage, Dawnbreaker, Io, Lina, Medusa, Pudge, Sniper, and Viper. My personal favourite is Lina’s Dead Heat, which is an instant
