A quick research shows that the hero has been added with the <strong>ID 159<\/strong>, and you can find him under the name <strong>npc_dota_hero_arjun<\/strong>. Sadly, these are all the details we know because there is no information in terms of abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arjun Isn\u2019t Alone \u2014 Other Hidden Heroes Found on Test Servers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s interesting is that <strong>Arjun is not the only new Dota 2 hero<\/strong> that appeared on the experimental servers. Fans may remember that the same happened in September this year when we saw <a href=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/news\/dota-2\/bard-frog-dota-2s-newest-hero\/\">Bard Frog<\/a>. He was one of the<strong> new heroes rumored to be released <\/strong>in 2024, but we have yet to see him in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dota 2 Arjun \u2013 Early Role and Ability Speculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, we <strong>do not have information about Arjun\u2019s abilities <\/strong>and\/or role. However, this does not mean we can\u2019t speculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judging from the last couple of new heroes we\u2019ve seen from Valve, there is <strong>a good chance that Arjun will be a tank<\/strong>. It has been a while since we\u2019ve seen a tank in Dota 2, and it\u2019s safe to say that fans will appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of abilities, the sky is the limit when it comes to Valve. With that said, we would not be surprised if the hero has an <strong>explosive skillset<\/strong> that allows him to initiate fights and deal a lot of burst damage. Think of something like Axe but with a little bit more \u201cburstiness\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, we will have to wait and see if we\u2019ll be right.
