Top 10: The best DotA 2 cheats
In practice games, you test items and heroes without annoying your teammates. Cheats save you time: For example, if you want to test a hero's level 6 attack, one command is enough to raise your hero's level. These are the ten best DotA 2 cheats:
- The "-lvlup x" command upgrades your hero to any number of levels. For example, if you play pudge at level 3, take it to level 6 with the command "-lvlup 3".
- Your opponents take you to your level with the command "-levelbots x". If you tap "-levelbots 16" in the chat window, all computer-controlled heroes will reach level 16.
- Gold cheeses themselves up by typing "-gold x". For example, if you need 3200 gold for an eagle song, enter "-gold 3200".
- You save yourself the way to the shop by loading your inventory directly with the "-item_name" cheat. To fool Aegis, you need the command "-item_aegis", for example. You can find a list of all item names at Gamepedia.
- You also give your opponents items by cheat. To do this, type "-givebot_name" in the chat window. If you are brave, you can equip your opponents with the finest of all weapons with "-givebot_rapier".
- The cheat "-allvision" reveals the map; the fog disappears and you can see the entire field. If you have had enough of this, return to the usual view via "-normalvision". Tip: Use this cheat, for example, to try out new mine positions with techies. Through the clear view you can see exactly whether the mines are in a good position to the opposing lane creeps.
- If an enemy kills you, revive your hero with the command "-respawn". This cheat also brings you back to the fountain, even if your hero is alive.
- Ensure peace on the lanes with the cheat "-disablecreepspawn". The camps will no longer produce units until you cancel the command with "-enablecreepspawn".
- Not really helpful, but the cheat "-wtf" is fun. The disables mana and cooldown. As soon as you notice that your opponents also benefit from it, you can switch it off again with "-unwtf".
- After you have ruined your game with all these cheats, restart it with "-startgame": The time starts at 0:00 minutes, all units disappear and the heroes return to the fountain.
