Hoodwink’s Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Acorn Shot and Scurry have the potential to push a strong wave clear and split.
- Perform a variety of roles.
- Largely independent of goods, but because of Scurry and Acorn Shot, it scales incredibly well with things.
- Powerful long-range engagement with the slow break of the Sharpshooter and the shock of Bushwhack.
Cons:
- Minimal base strength.
- Her frequent reliance on trees necessitates positioning and timing.
Lore
The lovely swath of green was where Hoodwink Dota 2 spent his formative years. She had to employ a variety of ruses to continually step on people due to the expansion of the ravenous empire.
Now Hoodwink attacks anybody who dares attempt to tame the wilds further, cheerfully stealing what she wants from their possessions, destroying what she doesn’t need, and assisting any like-minded survivors in returning to a life in the green.

Combo
Hoodwink + Elder Titan
Echo Stomp puts the adversary to sleep to give Hoodwink time to change his ultimate. When combined with Hoodwink’s ultimate, Ground Splitter can move foes.
Game Play
Early Game:
Begin with a Blades of Attack and three Iron Branch or Faerie Fire to raise your damage above 60 and improve your ability to withstand the last hits.
Mid Game:
With your superior attack animation, once your damage is over 62, you can contest practically every last hit against anyone. Acorn can be used to repel ranged creeps. Move the melee creeps away from the ranged; you can bounce off the middle of the adversary.
Late Game:
To fast clear waves, purchase Maelstrom. Ancient Creep Camps can be quickly cleared with Maelstrom and Crystals. Boots of Travel, which work nicely with Scurry, let you depush and split-push yourself.
Counters
Storm Spirit:
Hoodwink’s tiny Health pool makes her readily destroyable against Storm Spirit. Moreover, because of Ball Lightning, Storm can quickly approach Hoodwink. Using this power, he can even use it to cut down trees that are in his path.
Warlock:
In addition to summoning, stunning, and damaging, Warlock’s Chaos Offering also kills trees in a wide area. Hoodwink’s existence is more challenging because she is unable to flee due to this and Upheaval readily.
Advantageous Matchups
Hoodwink + Bristle Black
It is possible to avoid Bristleback, and his Quill Sprays through Hoodwink’s Scurry and Bushwhack skills. Also, his Bristleback and Warpath powers can both be neutralized through Sharpshooter.
Phantom Lancer + Hoodwink
Phantom Lancer and his illusions can be stunned with Bushwhack, and Acorn Shot is excellent for locating the actual PL. Moreover, Sharpshooter can negate Phantom Lancer’s ultimate, Juxtapose. This prevents him from making other illusions and enables Hoodwink’s gang to murder him.
Huskar + Hoodwink
A Husker has a low HP to be successful. Because of this, he is extremely weak to abilities that do burst damage, such as Hoodwink’s Sharpshooter.
