Aggron Stonebreak the Ogre Magi is a melee intelligence hero famous for his random potential for extreme burst damage and his enormous health pool for an intelligence Hero. He has good base attributes, and some of the best attributes gain in the game. He is a powerful ganker and disabler, eliminating his opponents in mere seconds if his ultimate Multicast successfully occurs with Fireblast. Later in the game he takes on the role of a buffer/debuffer with his powerful Bloodlust buff and his AoE Ignite.

Bio

Aggron Stonebreak, the Ogre Magi Play "We outsmarted em." "So that's what happened." Role: Nuker / Disabler / Durable Lore: The ordinary ogre is the creature for whom the phrase 'As dumb as a bag of rock hammers' was coined. In his natural state, an ogre is supremely incapable of doing or deciding anything. Clothed in dirt, he sometimes finds himself accidentally draped in animal skins after eating lanekill. Not an especially social creature, he is most often found affectionately consorting with the boulders or tree-stumps he has mistaken for kin (a factor that may explain the ogre's low rate of reproduction). However, once every generation or so, the ogre race is blessed with the birth of a two-headed Ogre Magi, who is immediately given the traditional name of Aggron Stonebreak, the name of the first and perhaps only wise ogre in their line's history. With two heads, Ogre Magi finds it possible to function at a level most other creatures manage with one. And while the Ogre Magi will win no debates (even with itself), it is graced with a divine quality known as Dumb Luck--a propensity for serendipitous strokes of fortune which have allowed the ogre race to flourish in spite of enemies, harsh weather, and an inability to feed itself. It's as if the Goddess of Luck, filled with pity for the sadly inept species, has taken Ogre Magi under her wing. And who could blame her? Poor things. Voice: Nolan North (Responses)

Abilities

Fireblast Q F Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Magical Blasts an enemy unit with a wave of fire, dealing damage and stunning the target. Range: 600 Duration: 1.5 Damage: 80/145/210/275 12 75/85/95/105 The Ogre Magi is easily amused, entertained for hours by playing with fire.

Notes: When Multicast, Fireblast hits the same target each time with a 0.3 seconds interval. A 2x Multicast deal 160/290/420/550 damage and stun for 1.8 seconds. A 3x Multicast deal 240/435/630/825 damage and stun for 2.1 seconds. A 4x Multicast deal 320/580/840/1100 damage and stun for 2.4 seconds. Mana cost is increased by 30 / 70 / 110 when learning Multicast.

Ignite W G Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Magical Drenches a target in volatile chemicals, causing it to burst into flames. The target is in immense pain, taking damage and moving more slowly. Range: 700 Duration: 4/5/6/7 Burn Damage: 26/32/38/44 Slow: 20%/22%/24%/26% 15 95/105/115/125 Only blocked if cast on Linken's holder. No interaction otherwise. Batter up!

Notes: Multicast makes this spell have an AoE (150/300/450 based on Multi Cast level). Total damage of 104/160/228/308.

Bloodlust E B Ability Affects Auto-cast Allies Incites a frenzy in a friendly unit, increasing its movement speed and attack speed. Range: 600 Duration: 30 Bonus Attack Speed: 20/30/40/50 Bonus Movement Speed: 10%/12%/14%/16% 20 75 Blocks effect if targeted on magic immune allies. Immune allies can still benefit from multicast bloodlusts. 'Running’s not as fun as hitting… Not one bit fun.'

Notes: When Multicast, nearby allies will be selected randomly in an 575 AoE to be Bloodlusted. If set on Auto-Cast, Ogre Magi will cast it on himself, and recast it whenever it runs out. Becoming magic immune or using Manta Style will not remove the buff.

Multi Cast R C Ability Affects Passive Self Enables the Ogre Magi to rapidly cast his spells, giving them greater potency. Gives a chance to cast a spell multiple times in one cast. Increases Fireblast's mana cost and decreases its cooldown, increases cast range and adds an area of effect to Ignite and reduces Bloodlust's cooldown and gives it a chance to cast on random allies around Ogre Magi. Chance to cast at least twice: 25%/40%/50% Chance to cast at least three times: 0%/20%/25% Chance to cast four times: 0%/0%/12.5% Fireblast cooldown reduction: 2/4/6 Ignite increased cast range: 150/300/450 Ignite radius: 150/300/450 Bloodlust cooldown reduction: 5/10/15 Bloodlust radius: 575 Adds the Unrefined Fireblast ability. Despite being largely incapacitated by his IQ, the Ogre Magi's success in battle is attributed to pure skill.

Unrefined Fireblast D D Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Magical Blasts an enemy unit with a wave of fire, dealing damage and stunning the target. Range: 600 Duration: 1.5 Damage: 275 10 400 The 'who-casts-spell-first' argument between himself is solved simply by both casting at once.

Notes: Can be multicasted for the same effect as a regular Fireblast level 4. Only available if Ogre Magi is carrying Aghanim's Scepter.

Recommended items

Explanation: Arcane Boots covers your mana needs, since Ogre Magi's spells cost a lot of mana. With Bloodlust, you don't need the speed boost or attack speed from Phase Boots and Power Treads. Aghanim's Scepter allows you to cast Fireblast twice in a row, effectively allowing you to kill most heroes immediately if you're lucky enough to score a quadracast twice in a row (which is still a shockingly low 1.5625% chance.) Be careful though! The mana cost of Unrefined Fireblast is significantly higher than a normal Fireblast, so don't use it for harassment. Force Staff is a good item to help you quickly get into the range of Fireblast, making it even harder for enemies to escape your powerful stun. Veil of Discord adds 25% damage from all magic sources in an area, allowing your spells to deal bonus damage on all targets affected (offsets base 25% magic resistance). Unmentioned Items: Because your main source of income is from ganks and teamfights, Urn of Shadows provides you a much needed heal, and its nuke also cope well with your Ignite. Dagon gives you another burst damage to quickly dispatch enemies; remember to make sure you have enough mana for your whole combo. Like other Dagon users, upgrading it beyond level 3 is generally not recommended.

Tips

• Fireblast gives the full 1.5s of stun from the first rank, whereas Ignite gains significant additional slow and duration with ranks. However, Fireblast will deal high damage if it's leveled and Multi Cast occurs, so choose wisely your skill build.
• Consider the state of the game and your situation when deciding whether to level Multi Cast at 6. Although it can grant powerful bonuses, it also increases the mana cost of Fireblast without reliably increasing the effect. In most games, it is much better to max out both Fireblast and Ignite initially, then taking the first rank of Multi Cast at level 9 (or even 10 if you want to grab a point in Bloodlust first as well. At level 6, it's more mana efficient and more damaging to just grab another point in Ignite or Fireblast. The earliest a point in Multi-cast would be efficient is level 8, after Fireblast has been maxed.
• When you have at least 1 point in Multi Cast, use Ignite when the enemies get clumped to affect them all in a short radius.
• Bloodlust is a rather versatile skill, allowing you or anyone you cast it on to make a swift escape or entrance during teamfights, as well as being a powerful steroid for any carry. Consider keeping your Bloodlust always on a carry during a teamfight, but don't forget that it's useful for escapes as well.
• You're a good chaser: your Fireblast can stun an enemy for 1.5 seconds and keep him in place, while your Ignite damages and slows the target. Use these skills to help your teammates get kills.
