Mirana the Princess of the Moon, is a ranged Agility Hero that uses her abilities to surprise, chase, and assault enemies. She is an excellent huntress and widely known for her Sacred Arrow which stuns her victim with deadly precision. The arrow stuns longer when its fired from a farther distance. Mirana can bring down the stars with Starstorm to damage nearby enemies and an additional star to cast down on her one unfortunate target. Mounting with her trusted tiger Sagan, Mirana can Leap forward over a distance, to escape or chase, and enhancing her allies with a roar, increasing their attack and movement speed. Invoking the power of her moon goddess, Mirana uses her ultimate, Moonlight Shadow to cloak all allied heroes and herself with invisibility. At any time, Mirana and her allies can break out of their hiding with an ambush and fade into the shadows again during the duration of the spell. With an array of mighty and supportive skills, Mirana is a versatile heroine that can excel early in the game as a mobile ganker. She is not much heavily reliant on luxurious items but she can benefit from almost any item that gives her presence in the battlefield. Mirana charges onto battle, shooting arrows and stars to strike her unholy foes. She can escape at almost any situation, leaping away from danger or turning invisible. She is a valuable ally for her team and fights in the name of her dear goddess, Selemene.

[edit] Bio

Mirana Mirana, the Princess of the Moon
Play "How long must we ride before we're summoned again to the Nightsilver Woods?"
Role: Pip carry.png Carry / Pip ganker.png Nuker / Pip disabler.png Disabler / Pip tank.png Escape
Lore: Born to a royal family, a blood princess next in line for the Solar Throne, Mirana willingly surrendered any claim to mundane land or titles when she dedicated herself completely to the service of Selemene, Goddess of the Moon. Known ever since as Princess of the Moon, Mirana prowls the sacred Nightsilver Woods searching for any who would dare poach the sacred luminous lotus from the silvery pools of the Goddess's preserve. Riding on her enormous feline familiar, she is poised, proud and fearless, attuned to the phases of the moon and the wheeling of the greater constellations. Her bow, tipped with sharp shards of lunar ore, draws on the moon's power to charge its arrows of light.

[edit] Tips

  • Moonlight Shadow is useful both as an escape ability for yourself and/or the team, and as a way to set up a gank.
  • As a strong semi-carry, Mirana is quite special - she doesn't really need farm early-mid game, thus making her a threat at that stage as a ganker. She is able to farm up items quite quickly by using Starstorm to clear creep waves as well.
  • The movement/attack speed bonus from Leap is quite significant, more than an activated Drum of Endurance. Position this correctly during teamfights to buff all your allies with it.
  • Even a level 1 Sacred Arrow can give a large stun if far away enough. Hiding in the jungle at level 1 and hitting one at level 1 can secure an easy first blood if laning with a good partner.

[edit] Trivia

  • Mirana is the tiger of Multan fort that killed the king of Mongols (in the Mongol folklore).[1]
  • Her mount's name is Sagan. When defeating Invoker Invoker, her response is a pun of Carl Sagan.
  • In the transition from DotA to Dota 2, the names of two of Mirana's skills were changed. Starstorm used to be called Starfall and Elune's Arrow is now called Sacred Arrow. Additionally, Mirana is now a Princess of the Moon, as opposed to a Priestess.
  • She is affiliated with Luna Luna, as Luna also serves under Selemene.
  • Her DotA hero title was "Priestess of the Moon"; it had to be changed for legal reasons, because the title also exists in the Warcraft universe.[2]
