Hero Skills
The character has a lot of nice abilities that give him survivability, control, protect the whole team and help him quickly get to the right place after death. Next, consider 1 passive buff and 3 active Diggie skills to make a powerful combo at the end.
Passive Skill - Young Again
After each death, the character turns into an egg. In this form, Diggie cannot be targeted or damaged. It can move freely around the map and highlight the location of enemy heroes.
According to the revival timer, the bird will resurrect from the egg in the place where it was.
First Skill - Automatic Bomb
In the marked place, the character will throw a small alarm clock owl, which will remain motionless for 25 seconds and will only react to the appearance of an enemy hero nearby. The owl will start chasing him, explode on impact and deal magic damage in an area, as well as slow the affected targets by 30%. Up to 5 alarms can be placed on the map at the same time.
After each explosion, Diggy accumulates two explosive sparks - up to a maximum of 60 charges. Each of them increases the subsequent damage from the skill by 1%. When a hero dies, he loses half of his accumulated points. He also accumulates sparks when he hits opponents with egg-shaped skills, 1 charge each time.
Second Skill - Back Time
Diggy selects a target and binds it to the previous location. The opponent can move freely for four seconds, but then the skill will pull him back, dealing additional magic damage and slowing the target by 80%.
When an enemy is too far away from the area marked on the ground, the pull is triggered instantly.
Ultimate - Time Travel
The hero creates an area around him that resembles a clock. In it, all allies, including Diggie himself, are cleared of all negative buffs. In addition, everyone gains a shield and immunity to control lasting 3 seconds.
The character gains an additional 50% movement speed for half a second.

How to play Diggie
Diggie has many advantages - excellent control, good damage. He can be very intrusive and constantly interfere with opponents. Easily counters heroes with high mobility. Respawns anywhere on the map and can stack passive even when dead.
But nevertheless, a character without sufficient armor is very thin, there are no skills for escapes. He has a high cooldown for his abilities. At the last stages, the hero is inferior to many enemies, he is relatively difficult and will be difficult to play as him at first.
At the initial stage, stick to the shooter or jungler, depending on who needs the most help in farming. Keep an eye on the position on adjacent lines as well. Your task is to support the team, participate in ganks and warn of danger.
Throw owl alarm clocks (first ability) into nearby bushes to highlight enemies planning an ambush.
If you are dead, then tail the other assassin - this way you will highlight his position of the main team and interfere with his farming or ambushes. Spin alongside your opponents to regain points lost after death and increase damage. Remember to keep an eye on the respawn timer and retreat from the danger zone in time, as Diggie will hatch immediately at his location.
The best combos to play as Diggie
- To intimidate opponents and interfere with their farm, use first first skill with owls that will inevitably chase the target and explode. Throw away from minions if you want the skill to accurately hit the enemy. Next use second skill and keep doing damage basic attack.
- For an unexpected gank on one character paired with a damage dealer from your team, use first second ability. So, you will cut off the enemy's path to retreat. Immediately send several bombs closer to him first skill.
- Team fights should start with ultimate. But only if you are sure of the upcoming battle. While it's active, activate second skill to a more significant target. Next, send a few alarm owls into the crowd first ability. Ulta can be activated both at the end of the battle and in the middle. Either way, it will be very helpful.
Ulta can also be used for retreat - the hero gains a shield and increases the speed of movement, he is not affected by control. This advantage will help avoid death. You can also throw on the enemy before this second skill and give yourself a head start.
The mid and late game for the hero is not much different from the first minutes - stay close to your opponents and participate in massive battles. Learn to use your ultimate in time to buff the whole team. Do not try to fight alone at the end of the match. Compared to the main damage dealers, the character's damage sags in the late game.
It will be hard to play as Diggy at first, but don't give up. We wish you good luck in mastering it! We are waiting for your recommendations or interesting stories in the comments.
