Strategy[]

Voden is best summarized by one word – ‘pressure’. Voden doesn't super excel at much, because even though he might be impressive on paper, he certainly has some drawbacks that make him hard to manage. What he can do best, however, is apply pressure. Quick movements into the backfield, constant harassment, and ganking straggling heroes is the name of the game, and Voden plays that game well! His bow attacks, combined with his

POISON
Reduces incoming HEALING by 50% and damages targets over time.
HEAVY POISON reduces healing by 75%.
Eff icon poisonpoison

abilities, can make super quick work of most enemies.

Keep in mind though that his best upgrade, Geyser, that gives

JUMP HIGHER
Increases the height of all jumps when affected by the skill.
Eff icon jumpsuper jump

, requires a ton of investment, and his other useful power – [F/LS+RT],[LMB/RT] NATURAL ROOTS, has much the same investment. Voden is very flexible though, so these investments might be worth it given the situation and state of the battlefield.

Tips and Tricks[]

  • Voden is useless without
    STAMINA
    A special resource that allows player to sprint, dodge, jump, and utilize powerful dodge and sprint attacks.
    While SPRINT and JUMPS consume stamina when player is IN COMBAT, DODGE always cost 25 stamina (one segment of blue bar).
    Heroes OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerate their stamina when they don't move actively.
    Term icon staminastamina
    ; accordingly, keep your eye on the stamina and make sure you have enough to get out of any situation quickly and with minimal damage.
  • [RMB/LT] POISON SPORES
    • Spread around your poison. Don't focus on just one target, as the poison does the same damage whether or not you're paying attention. Everyone getting a little hurt as opposed to one person getting really hurt is what you're aiming for.
    • As said, Poison Spores is excellent for teamfights: use it to boost the damage of your ranged heroes. Characters like HK-206 have excellent synergy with this skill.
  • [Q/LB] GREEN MAN
    • Use the decoy to waste hero attacks and force them into long cooldowns – this will enable a concerted effort team to wipe the floor with them, negating even the most efficient pushes.
    • Or – use the decoy to distract creatures, then tear them apart.
  • [E/RB] HIDDEN SPRING
    • Use Hidden Spring as a good support ability or evasive move. Be careful where you use it though. Use it too early and you may not have the heal or escape you need. Unlike Uncle Sven, your utility is not made up of two moves, so you have to be more tactful in your use of it.
    • Hidden Spring heals you and your allies, and should thus be placed where it's free from threat, but near enough to the fight to be beneficial to the team. Additionally, the Geyser upgrade provides a
      JUMP HIGHER
      Increases the height of all jumps when affected by the skill.
      Eff icon jumpsuper jump
      , allowing heroes to jump up to areas for sniping and distance shots.
  • Be careful when you want to use Voden's
    FOCUS
    A special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
    Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.
