Description, attributes and patch history, in one place.

CURRENT GAME DATA

Slows with her frost-tipped arrows

Not many can escape Drow Ranger once she's within range. After her foes have been silenced with a chilling blast, she finishes them off with a barrage of slowing, ice-tipped arrows that few can survive.

Lore

Drow Ranger's given name is Traxex--a name well suited to the short, trollish, rather repulsive Drow people. But Traxex herself is not a Drow. Her parents were travelers in a caravan set upon by bandits, whose noisy slaughter of innocents roused the ire of the quiet Drow people. After the battle settled, the Drow discovered a small girl-child hiding in the ruined wagons, and agreed she could not be abandoned. Even as child, Traxex showed herself naturally adept at the arts they prized: Stealth, silence, subtlety. In spirit, if not in physique, she might have been a Drow changeling, returned to her proper home. But as she grew, she towered above her family and came to think of herself as ugly. After all, her features were smooth and symmetrical, entirely devoid of warts and coarse whiskers. Estranged from her adopted tribe, she withdrew to live alone in the woods. Lost travelers who find their way from the forest sometimes speak of an impossibly beautiful Ranger who peered at them from deep among the trees, then vanished like a dream before they could approach. Lithe and stealthy, icy hot, she moves like mist in silence. That whispering you hear is her frozen arrows finding an enemy's heart.

Aghanim’s Scepter

Frost Arrows now apply a Hypothermia stack to enemies, increasing damage from Frost Arrows and reducing their Health Restoration per stack. If an enemy dies with Hypothermia stacks, they burst and deal damage per stack and slow in an area around it.

  • The slow duration is refreshed on successive casts.

Releases a wave that silences and knocks back and reveals invisible enemy units. Knockback distance is relative to how close they are to Drow.

Glacier

Granted by Aghanim’s Shard

Drow creates a hill of ice beneath her, knocking away nearby enemies. Units on the hill gain flying vision and Drow and her ranged allies gain bonus attack range. Drow gains additional damage while on the Glacier and attacking targets below her. The front of the hill obscures vision and cannot be moved through except by Drow. Does not interrupt Multishot when cast.
