Hero Skills
Like many heroes, the Minotaur has only four skills, one of which works as a passive buff. Next, we will go into more detail about each ability and the relationship between them.
Passive Skill - Rage Mode
When Minotaur applies a crowd control effect from a skill to enemies, it also reduces their hybrid defense for 2 seconds. And when the Minotaur heals an allied hero using its skill, the teammate’s hybrid defense also increases for 2 seconds.
While enraged, the effects described above are doubled.
First skill - Stomp of Despair
The hero makes a powerful jump to the marked place. If it hits enemy opponents upon landing, they will take physical damage and be thrown into the air. After that, they are affected by the effect of slowing by 30% for three seconds. At the same time, the Minotaur has increased basic attacks, the percentage depends on the total health points.
Furious: Increased attack area, increased jumping physical damage.
Skill XNUMX - Uplifting Roar
The character inspires nearby allies, including himself. The ability restores the hero's health depending on the lost points, and heals teammates by 260 points. The character also increases their own attack speed and increases that of allies by 30% for the next three seconds.
Furious: For 2 seconds after entering this state, the character will restore his own health points after each basic attack dealt to him.
Ultimate - Wrath of the Minotaur
Enters preparation mode and generates rage. If the hero has the maximum charges, then he can enter an empowered Wrath of the Minotaur and activate the state of rage.
Empowered Minotaur's Wrath: The character hits the ground with a hammer three times. The first two hits deal physical damage in a large area and slow enemies by 70%. The third deals increased true damage and knocks enemies into the air. While the character uses the ult, he is immune to control effects.

How to play Minotaur
First, let's touch on the main advantages and disadvantages of the character. Minotaur gives long-term control and relatively high damage from the ultimate, powerful regeneration. It is easy to play - all the abilities are very simple. There is a combination that will help not only absorb all the incoming damage, but also give a strong rebuff to the opponent.
Among the minuses, we highlight that, despite the role of the initiator, the hero does not have additional skills (besides jumping) that would help him with this - jerks or acceleration. The combination may seem complicated, especially if you don't understand the passive skill. It is dependent on the combat spell and the Rage state.
At the start of a match, join a shooter or assassin. Decide according to the situation for whom the help will be needed. Stay with them, protect them from opponents, heal them with your second skill and help them farm. To avoid being ambushed by bushes, check them periodically.
Do not forget to periodically heal yourself and teammates second skill even without a team fight. This will further increase your attack speed, which can be a good advantage when pushing.
Remember that you must be the initiator. With the advent of the ultimate, do not stay on one line for a long time, but participate in everything, because the tank is the basis of the gank. Set up ambushes, protect other teammates, help the killer with the turtles.
Best Skill Combo for Minotaur
- Start the attack with a jump - first ability. Try to land in the center of gathered enemies to deal damage, launch them into the air, and slow them down. This way, you will cut off your opponents’ path to retreat and give your own team a head start. You can also use Flash to start the combination.
- Then deal damage a couple of times. basic attack, to accumulate enough Rage.
- Activate ultimate, total control will fall upon the enemies.
- Immediately upon completion, press second skill и Revenge. Out of control, opponents will attack you in response, high regeneration and damage mirroring will allow you to survive and deal a lot of damage.
- Finish off your opponents auto attack.
First skill и Flash can be used as retreat abilities.
Late in the game, continue to stay close to your team and initiate scrimmages. Please note that the Fury condition and the combat spell will be on cooldown. Therefore, correctly calculate your own strength and do not rush into battle without damage dealers nearby. Correctly coordinate the actions of your allies with quick tips or in voice chat. This way, the chances of a successful gank will increase significantly.
Make sure you always have an escape route, as being on the front line in the late game can be dangerous even for a tank with high regen and defense. At the end, try to quickly finish the missing items in order to keep up with the opponents.

I love to collect assemblies. I play Rome a little differently. First, help pick up the buffs of the forest, and then according to the situation.
In general, I have a roam through a promotion (Buff on damage and attack speed).
The Minotaur has a combo of sorts.
2-1-3-2-1. Ща объясню.
We press 2 heal (Buff command for attack speed), then 1 stun, and debuff the enemy (for attack and movement speed), then 3 ults (mass control (Slow down and throw up), press 2 again, since the ult rolls back other skills (buff command again to attack speed + regenem hp from attacks on you) and again press 1 (We are already giving a stun in a large area). )
