Dota Underlords will introduce Underlords in the upcoming The Big Update, where they will function as their own units on the board. Players’ Underlords will become the primary unit on the battlefield. Rather than them having small passive effects, it seems like they will out-hero the heroes with multiple skills, ultimate abilities, and over twenty talents to choose from to further buff their power!
“The first Underlord we’re introducing is Hobgen, a fairy who also happens to be an arsonist. He likes to get in the thick of it with his crew – lobbing firebombs at his enemies and lighting his teammates on fire (it’s a good thing, in this case).”Valve said.
