DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

Ophanim is a ranged universal angel. Aside from giving a good mix of crowd control and utility, his spells deal massive amounts of pure damage to melt his enemies with the wrath of heaven.

Ophanim is a second attempt at an angel hero. While I'm happy at how Truthbringer (my first angel hero) ended up, there were definitely some growing pains to get to that point. Ophanim shares some design ideas with Truthbringer that I consider very fitting for angels. Mainly, an overwhelming amount of pure damage. Ophanim is more of a spell caster however. Some of Ophanim's abilities are similar to Truthbringer's.
Angels are also supposed to be a big deal in dota lore. Seemingly even making Terrorblade afraid.

Innate and facet ideas for when this website allows for it:

Innate:
Purity: Ophanim has 30% less attack damage, but his attacks deal pure damage.

Facets:
Uninterrupted scrutiny: Ophanim may cast spells and use items during Judgement without interrupting the channel.
Smite: Enemy heroes who die while under the effect of Ophanim's spells explode, dealing pure damage in a radius around them.

Even the gods, titans, demons, and fundamentals respect the angels. Most reclusive and mysterious of all supernatural being. While hell's many demons could make legions there are only a few angels, all of which are powerful beyond compare. As the incarnation of righteous wrath, Ophanim ranks highly in the divine army. Rarely does he descend from the heavens, but when the battle is too important Ophanim will bring the fury of heaven into the battlefield himself.
