DOTA 2
Guides
We’ve teamed up with iAnnihilate and Metafy to create one of the most comprehensive guides to playing Void Spirit in Dota 2 Patch 7.33c
Void Spirit is one of the strongest midlane heroes in Dota 2 Patch 7.33c - having earned multiple buffs and changes to its foundation. If you ever want to play this mystical purple hero (or perhaps you’ve seen Topson absolutely owning pubs with Void Spirit) here is a great point to start! You can begin learning this hero with our Dota 2 Void Spirit guide!
This guide was written with assistance and guidance fromDanny “iAnnihilate” Cote, solo mid player for Fart Studios, with a peak MMR of over 9500 and currently 106 on the NA Leaderboards.
The basics of Void Spirit in Dota 2
“Void spirit is mostly a single target burst hero, often focusing on killing a key target before or during the fight.”
Void Spirit is a hero that requires a high level of skill and to be active and create chaos on the map. He can be played in multiple roles but his main role is in the midlane. He is a Universal hero (as of Patch 7.33) and possesses high-mobility, disables, and nuking spells.
iAnnihilate adds that “Void spirit is mostly a single target burst hero, often focusing on killing a key target before or during the fight.” A result, this combination of disabling abilities and nuking spells is best used on single targets. Let’s take a look at his abilities.
Void Spirit abilities - Dota 2 Patch 7.33c
Aether Remnant
Aether Remnant is a spell that can pull a target while disabling them and dealing damage. But the problem with this spell is it’s not simple to execute. It has a click-and-drag mechanic (also called a vector targeting spell), basically clicking on the ground and dragging it to a point. The Aether Remnant will then follow that pattern, where if the tip hits an enemy unit, the enemy will be pulled and disabled.
The execution is similar to Windranger’s Shard upgrade, Gale Force - except that this one is more precise.
Another issue is if an enemy hero stands among a lot of creeps, it’ll be very difficult to pinpoint the exact spot so the Remnant pulls the hero. This can be solved with Void Spirit’s Aghanim’s Shard that not only increases the watch range but also makes the Remnant pull ONLY enemy heroes.
Aether Remnant is a little difficult to learn but with practice, it’ll be instinctive.
Dissimilate
Dissimilate applies a magical damage burst. By pressing this spell, Void Spirit disappears into another realm and you can choose where he relocates after a short, few seconds. This is a reliable escape ability, especially with the Talent upgrade that allows you to relocate further.
You can also use Dissimilate to dodge spells! This clip shows how Qojqva dodged Ancient Apparation’s Ice Blast using Dissimilate.
Resonant Pulse
Resonant Pulse is a great AoE damage and it also comes with a shield that’ll protect you from incoming damage. This is convenient during the laning stage when you want to both secure creeps and tank yourself up a notch. Especially when taking a lot of harass.
This ability, coupled with the Aghanim’s Scepter upgrade, silences opponents that are hit with the Resonant Pulse. A very prominent silencing power. This is very useful against heroes that can escape with their abilities, or those who have disables.
Astral Step
Void Spirit’s ultimate isn’t anything too fancy, but it sure is irritating to play against. Using this spell, you can dash to a certain point and any enemies hit will be slowed and take damage. This spell has two charges.
Astral Step exudes strong damage but it’s also incredibly great to create chaos and juke opponents. It is also very reliable as an escape ability, the second one on his ability kit.

How to itemize on Void Spirit in Patch 7.33c
Itemization is a tricky topic, but there are several key items to get for a good Void Spirit game in Patch 7.33c.
These items are very good for Void Spirit in general:
If you are going for a Physical damage build, which is the most popular build in this current patch, take a look at the items below!
However, if you’re more of the classic-Void Spirit style, you still can opt for a Magical damage build. Play around your spells and use these items to secure kills.
