60

Modifiers

Dominated: Undispellable.

Item Helm Of The Dominator Bonushealth: Undispellable.

Notes:

• Applies a basic dispel on the target which removes buffs and debuffs.

• Dominating a creep while already having one dominated causes the previous dominated creep to die.

• The number of max allowed units is bound to the player. Buying a new Helm of the Dominator does not allow dominating an additional unit.
  • This also goes for the Tempest Double's copied Helm of the Dominator.
  • When an enemy steals the dominated creep (e.g. Enchant), dominating a new creep does not cause the previous one to die.
  • When the item gets sold or destroyed, the dominated creep dies.
  • The death is not credited to anyone so that no one gets experience from it.

• Sets the target's movement speed to 425, regardless of its default movement speed.

• Sets the target's gold bounty to 200, regardless of its default bounty.
  • The target's default gold bounty is not granted upon killing it, only the set value is. Its experience bounty is unchanged.

• When the unit's maximum health is below the minimum health threshold, its maximum and current health are increased by the difference.
  • This current health increase does not count as a heal. The unit has its health set to a value.

• Does not restore the creep's mana.

• Cannot dominate ancient creeps, Necronomicon summons and creep-heroes.

Recommended heroes

Chen

• Helm gives one more creep to Chen and health regen, that is very important for early game pushes.

Lycan

• Howl increases damage of every single creep, increasing pushing power.

Drow Ranger

• Certain neutral creeps, such as the Alpha Wolf, can be useful if Dominated and made to follow Drow Ranger.

Luna

• Allows to give a creep to provide aura for Luna. Stats, hp and attack speed are also important for pushing and surviving.

Clinkz

• Gives a huge amount of health (750/1050/1350) and attack (75/105/135) when using Death pact.

Tips

• Dominated creeps can be used to remotely stack an ancient camp. Some creeps have abilities that are very useful, such as Dark Troll Summoner and Ogre Frostmage.
• You can dominate the Alpha Wolf for the helpful damage aura and have it follow your carry.
• A dominated creep can be used as a scout that can be placed inside Roshan's pit. Just be sure not to place it too close to Roshan, so he does not attack it.
• Dominate always sets the creep's base movement speed to 425. The only units which have more than 425 movement speed are Lycan Wolves at level 3 or higher. This means dominating one of them actually reduces their base speed down to 425. Besides these, all other dominatable creeps have lower movement speed than 425.
