'''Roshan''', sometimes also referred to as '''Roshan the Immortal''', is the most powerful [[Creeps#Neutral_Creeps|neutral creep]] in Dota 2. It is the first unit which spawns, right as the match is loaded and is the only npc which scales over time. During the early to mid game, it easily outmatches almost every hero in one vs one combat. Only very few heroes can take on him alone during the mid game, thanks to the nature of their skill set. Even in the late game, lots of heroes struggle fighting it one on one, since Roshan grows stronger as time passes.<br />

Roshan is not a creep which can just be farmed like the other [[Creeps#Neutral_Creeps|neutral creep]] camps, fighting him is an important team decision, as it needs the correct timing and approach since it can decide the future of the match. Usually, it is fought as a team when it is safe to do so, meaning when the enemy team does not display a threat at the moment (for example after a successful team fight).

The only way to gain vision over the pit is to enter it. Units with [[Vision#Ground_Vision|ground vision]] (this includes [[wards]] and any spell) from outside cannot see into the pit, no matter how far their sight range goes or if they are on an elevated area like the ward spots. {{Item ID|Observer Ward}}s and {{Item ID|Sentry Ward}}s cannot be placed inside the pit at all. However, units with [[Vision#Flying_Vision|flying, or unobstructed vision]] can see inside the pit from the outside.<br />

Template:Selfref Template:Creep

Roshan, sometimes also referred to as Roshan the Immortal, is the most powerful neutral creep in Dota 2. It is the first unit which spawns, right as the match is loaded and is the only npc which scales over time. During the early to mid game, it easily outmatches almost every hero in one vs one combat. Very few heroes can take him on alone during the mid game, thanks to the nature of their skill set. Even in the late game, lots of heroes struggle fighting it one on one, since Roshan grows stronger as time passes.
Roshan is not a creep which can just be farmed like the other neutral creep camps, fighting him is an important team decision, as it needs the correct timing and approach since it can decide the future of the match. Usually, it is fought as a team when it is safe to do so, meaning when the enemy team does not display a threat at the moment (for example after a successful team fight).

  • Roshan only casts Slam (Roshan) icon Slam when 3 or more enemy units are within the radius.
  • However, after 3 enemies were once within the radius, he will always use it whenever he's aggroed, regardless of how many enemies are in range.
  • Damage increases by 20 every 4 minutes since the first creep spawn. The first increase happens just as the first wave spawns.
  • This is how much damage the Slam (Roshan) icon Slam deals (before reductions) at certain game times:
    • 12 Minutes: 150 damage
    • 24 Minutes: 210 damage
    • 36 Minutes: 270 damage
    • 48 Minutes: 330 damage
    • 60 Minutes: 390 damage
    • 80 Minutes: 490 damage
    • 100 Minutes: 590 damage

Roshan possesses numerous protective abilities, including magic resistance and increasing armor, health, attack damage and Slam damage as time passes. Every illusion attacking Roshan is instantly destroyed. Roshan has phased movement.
Magic Resistance Bonus: 75%
Armor Bonus per 4 Minutes: 0.7
Max Health Bonus per 4 Minutes: 500
Attack Damage Bonus per 4 Minutes: 10

  • The first 0.7 armor are added as the first creep wave spawns, and then every 4 minutes onward.
  • All other bonuses are granted every 4 minute after the first creep wave spawns.
  • The bonuses persist through his death and keep on increasing while he's dead.
  • Only increases his maximum health by 500. His current health stays unchanged, meaning he has to regenerate up the 500 health.
  • Illusions are destroyed upon hitting Roshan or launching an attack projectile.


Roshan's pit

Roshan

Roshan's location on the minimap

Roshan can be found inside his pit, which is located to the right of the bottom rune spawn point. The entry is connected with the river, and faces west. The pit has about 1000 range length and 250-300 range width. Roshan will always be at the end of the pit when not attacking and will only attack when enemy units come within 150 range of him, or damage him from within 1800 range. Roshan cannot be attacked from outside the pit; however, it can always attack.

Vision inside the pit

The only way to gain vision over the pit is to enter it. Units with ground vision (this includes wards and any spell) from outside cannot see into the pit, no matter how far their sight range goes or if they are on an elevated area like the ward spots. Observer Ward icon Observer Wards and Sentry Ward icon Sentry Wards cannot be placed inside the pit at all. However, units with flying, or unobstructed vision can see inside the pit from the outside.
So the only way to gain vision inside the pit is to have an owned unit with ground vision in there (e.g. the hero itself, summoned units or wards such as Remote Mines icon Remote Mines or Mass Serpent Ward icon Mass Serpent Ward), cast a ground vision providing spell like Crystal Nova icon Crystal Nova, or Ice Vortex icon Ice Vortex inside there, have a unit with flying vision (e.g. Night Stalker minimap icon Night Stalker with Aghanim's Scepter icon Aghanim's Scepter or the hawks from Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Call of the Wild".) near the pit, or cast a flying vision providing spell like Illusory Orb icon Illusory Orb or Static Remnant icon Static Remnant near the pit.

Roshan's death

When Roshan is slain, a global sound resembling its screaming, along with a special piece of music and an announcement from the announcer are played for all 10 players. Along with that, a screen message appears, announcing its death and which team killed it.

Respawning

When Roshan is slain, it respawns after a random time between 8-11 minutes. Unlike with other neutral creeps, the respawn cannot be prevented by any means. The players do not get any indicator for when exactly he will respawn, but spectators and casters can see a clock at Roshan's spawn point, showing the exact time left for the respawn.

Kill Rewards

Each player of the killing team is rewarded with 200 gold. This causes the hero who gets the last hit to effectively gain 350-600 gold.

Upon each death, Roshan always drops the Aegis of the Immortal icon Aegis of the Immortal, an undroppable item once picked up, which grants the owner a second life, reincarnating it upon death after a 5 second delay at the death location. If the carrier of the Aegis of the Immortal icon Aegis of the Immortal does not die within 5 minutes after picking it up, it will be removed from its inventory and fully restore its health and mana over a short time. The restoring is canceled upon taking damage from players. If the Aegis of the Immortal icon Aegis of the Immortal is not picked up and left on the ground, it will disappear once Roshan respawns.
The Aegis of the Immortal icon Aegis of the Immortal can be picked up by any hero (except Meepo minimap icon Meepo clones). It is not restricted to the team who slew Roshan, meaning an enemy hero can "snatch" the Aegis.


Upon Roshan's 3rd death and onwards, it also drops the Cheese icon Cheese, a fully sharable consumable item, which can be sold for 500 gold, or used to instantly restore 2500 health and 1000 mana. Just like the aegis, the Cheese can also be picked up by anyone.
