The new winter Battle Pass brings with it a new form of Aghanim’s Labyrinth along with a Drow Ranger Arcana, amongst other goodies.
Valve had announced earlier this year that this Dota 2 season (between TI10 and TI11), there would be two Battle Passes. The first of those has arrived and it brings back one of the most popular custom games of all time with it – Aghanim’s Labyrinth! Other than that, the new recipient of the latest arcana has been revealed to be Drow Ranger, and Mirana has been awarded with a persona based off her character in Dragon’s Blood. But like every Battles Pass, there’s a lot more to it!
The Battle Pass can be bought at three levels:
Level 1 bundle - $7.49
Level 50 bundle - $26.99
Level 100 bundle - $41.99
1) Aghanim’s Labyrinth – The Continuum Conundrum
Last time out, labyrinth goers had to fight against Aghanim to claim his admiration. This time around, he already knows how good you are and needs your help!
The game is available for everyone to play (even players without a Battle Pass), but there is a catch. In case you want to unlock new heroes to try your luck out at the game, it can be done only through Battle Pass levels (just good old Valve, eh?!). As the days go on, GosuGamers will have a detailed guide on Aghanim’s Labyrinth, and how to help the wizard.
Aghanim the all-powerful returns, bringing an all-new Battle Pass and event mode in tow — and this time he needs your help! Thanks to a mishap with the Continuum Device, Aghanim's magical prowess is now spread dangerously thin amongst a gang of alter egos that have materialized on our world from elsewhere in the multiverse. Without the ability to foray into the Continuum Vault himself to fish them out and restore the balance of his power, Aghanim must rely upon four brave heroes to rescue his doppelgangers and put this entire Continuum mess to rest.
2) Dread Retribution – Drow Ranger Arcana (Battle Pass level 333)
Drow Ranger gets an arcana with the new Battle Pass update – Dread Retribution. But like all Battle Pass arcanas, this will take a heavy hit on your wallet or a lot of playing time, because it is only available if your manage to reach a Battle Pass level of 333.
3) Tomo’kan Incarnate – Hoodwink Prestige Bundle (Battle Pass level 277)
Hoodwink gets her first major item after her release last year with a new prestige item. Prestige items can never be gotten again, so if you’re a fan of the little ferret, get your Battle Pass to level 277.
4) Mirana Persona, Immortals and a Lot More
The Mirana persona can be unlocked at level 135, and every few levels will reward Battle Pass owners with Immortal Treasure I (which means there are more treasures on the way in the future). For Immortal Treasure I, Doom is the lucky recipient of the inverse guitar shaped sword very rare Immortal, which also gives him a rockstar taunt.
5) Dota 2 with a Controller - Experimental Feature
Not in any way a part of the Battle Pass, but a new feature has been introduced to the game along with the Battle Pass update, which is the ability to play the game with a controller. It is an experimental feature, but one that might gain more traction in the days to come.
As the realities of the Continuum meld in mysterious ways, today's update also introduces a world in which Dota can optionally be played using a controller instead of the standard mouse+keyboard setup, giving players a new way to interface with their favorite fight. From choosing your hero to smashing an Ancient, you can battle your way to victory in Dota by plugging in any PC controller that allows Steam Input (including PS/XBOX/Switch Pro Controllers and more) and steering your hero into the fray.
The entire set of stuff the Battle Pass brings with it can be found here, which is also where you can buy the Battle Pass in case you want to buy it outside the game. For now, it is time to find out how Rubick’s father can be aided in the Continuum Conundrum!
