He is definitely one of the most interesting new additions we\u2019ve seen in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Largo is a <strong>melee, strength<\/strong> Dota 2 hero that is labeled as <strong>a \u201cdisabler\u201d and \u201csupport\u201d<\/strong>. According to Valve, he \u201camplifies his allies, inspiring efficient spellcasting and projecting greater harm upon his foes\u201d. The hero has a <strong>unique skillset<\/strong> that consists of the following abilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Catchy Lick<\/strong> &#8211; When used, Largo \u201clicks\u201d the targeted unit and pulls it back a short distance. While doing it, the hero applies a basic dispel and deals damage if it is an enemy.\u00a0 If he dispels something from a target, it will grant Largo a temporary health regeneration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frogstomp<\/strong> &#8211; This ability allows Largo to toss froglings to an area and they will stomp the ground every 1 second, dealing damage and ministunning. Enemies that are affected by this ability will also have their movement speed reduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Croak of Genius<\/strong> &#8211; After using it on a friendly unit, the hero\u2019s items and abilities have reduced mana cost and a percentage of their damage reverberates over the next 5 seconds. If that specific hero spends mana, his remaining buff duration is reduced by 0.5s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amphibian Rhapsody<\/strong> &#8211; Largo is disarmed while using it and can switch between 3 songs, each of which grants a specific bonus. Every time he strums successfully, he gains a stack of\u00a0 Groovin\u2019. Each of these stacks gives bonus armor and reduces the mana cost of every song. Just keep in mind, he will lose a stock if he misses a beat. These stacks will stay for even a few seconds after the song is over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Largo Dota 2&nbsp; Starting Stats &amp; Facets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-19.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know more about<strong> Largo\u2019s abilities<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to share some details about his starting stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, he is a <strong>strength hero<\/strong> and will start with some of the more important stats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>STR &#8211; 24 (+3.6 per level)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AGI &#8211; 14 (+1.3 per level)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>INT &#8211; 21 (+2.4 per level)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damage &#8211; 63-69<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Armor &#8211; 4.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Movement Speed &#8211; 290<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the Largo Dota 2 facet, he <strong>currently has only one &#8211; Musical Pilgrimage<\/strong>. An interesting fact about it is that it has not done anything yet. We expect Valve to update it in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dota 2 Largo Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Largo Dota 2 New Hero !!

Nevertheless, we played several games with him over the last day and believe that he works best as a support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From our experience, <strong>Largo excels at positioning fights.<\/strong> He has to have good positioning to be successful and we can see how this can cause issues in the lower-ranked MMR games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hero\u2019s buff is really strong when used with specific heroes properly. Those <strong>who rely on their abilities<\/strong> to do damage simply feel a lot stronger when Largo buffs them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His ultimate is also a bit tricky to use, so we <strong>recommend practising it<\/strong> before you start playing. Once you start getting consistent timing, the successful songs will give you<strong> Groovin\u2019 stacks <\/strong>that can dramatically improve your utility in teamfights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take some time before we can<strong> create a comprehensive Largo Dota 2 guide<\/strong>, as the hero is truly unique. What we can safely say is that he feels solid, even early on. Yes, being a melee support is not ideal and limits his capabilities, but there are many cases where he works just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We can safely say that Valve has surprised us with the Dota 2 patch 7.40 and the addition of Largo, the latest Dota 2 hero.
