Skill Discussion

Recolta Aura: This skill will give your team more survival early in the game, having this kind of aura gives your heroes the risk to take damage while dealing damage. This aura also will make tangoes unnecessary.

Prospera: This skill will give you an advantage but its quite tricky not knowing what kind of buff you will be receiving. The armor gives more survival, the haste gives you a chance to escape or chase heroes, the regen like the regen rune can be dispelled when attacked, the damage buff will give you the boost you need to push or inflict heavy damage to foes

Seceta: This skill is the ultimate wow skill, it makes your opponent say ****, ****, **** and quit.. Well this skill will debuff a target, and at level 4, it can dispel silenced heroes.

Brilliant Green: The cooldown is slow, the mana cost is high, its channeling, so that makes it quite hard to use, but the major point of this is, it can easily revitalize your damaged teammates for 735 hp, and deal 600 hp damage to enemies. Use the heal when pushing or when teammates just receive huge damage or you can use it to damage opponents, possibly use it when enemies are stunned, disabled, or slowed.

Skill Synergies

Since Ceres is more of a support heroes, her Seceta can dispel a negative buff to an ally hero, her Prospera can buff the ally, plus her Recolta will serve as heal for the whole team, and if simple regen is not enough, her ultimate works wonders to those who lacks HP.
Dispel the negative buff then buff with your Prospera
Recolta (minor regen) then Brilliant Green (major regen)

Item Discussion:

Mekansm: This item will make you the ultimate survivor, the ultimate supporter of the team, its regen aura, stacks with your Recolta aura

Boots of Travel: This item although a luxury, can prove useful to aiding your running teammates or pushing in a safe distant lane

BKB: This item will make your Ultimate worth using

Hand Of Midas: Since Ceres has no farming skills, this item will help her get the items for late game

Dagon: This item, really not advisable since it doesn’t give that much attributes but since Ceres has no damaging skills except for her ultimate, a 400 instant damage isn’t too bad if you’re bored supporting, so with this you can go for the kill.

Shiva’s Guard: This item works well against melee monsters who will try to consume you, also the slow works in chasing fleeing heroes and the armor plus is a bit of a standoff itself.

Linken Sphere: If you’re not going for BKB, this will give you the stats plus the regen you need, being an int hero.

Refresher Orb: If you like using your ultimate and if you ultimate is really that important in your game, then you can go for this item.

Optional Items:

Assault Cuirass: Adds armor, and attack speed, works well with your buffs

Guinsoo Scythe: If you’re really the supporter you are, then go for this item

Blink Dagger: When you’re up against monsters, this item will save your neck

Radiance: Will give you the damage plus and the aura to farm for gold

Heroes Discussion

Best Allies: AOE Disablers, Slowers, Stunners
Magnus, Leviathan, Squee n' Spleen, Purist, Raigor, Rhasta, Darchrow, Rooftrellen, Rylai, Azgalor

Hey there. This is Bard Man.

Gonna rate this hero and move on.

Recolta Aura: Good as is. A perfectly fine regeneration skill.

Prospera: Again, perfect support skill. Maybe add a mana regen buff to that mix? Yes? No? your choice. Doesn't need it, but it'd be nice.

Seceta: Does this get rid of aall the buff/debuffs or just one? Either way, it's just a weak purge.

Brilliant Green: This reminds Bard Man of the ule of an old hero he made. Thy Wraith. Same effect but with a hitch. Though, Bard Man's version was stronger.

The detail you used in writing this out is superb. You have Bard Man's respect and He hopes to see more of your work.

This hero gets a 9.5/10

Whoops. Bard Man missed something. The regen already does mana.

I really like thsi hero & very baalnced IMO. Great work the game is kinda lacking pure support heroes & this hero is just perfect. The potion skill was clever with the randomness of it.
9.5/10

Keep up the good work

Hmm I too recognize that ultimate from at least one other hero... its good though. I agree that the debuff spell kind of sucks... and it costs 185 mana? Dispels Silencing spells, ooo, can it dispel the Silence on yourself... no because you are Silenced! I think that one needs a remake of some sort.

As a person who loves support characters all the time, I have to say I love this hero. My only issue with the whole deal is the dispel. Though everyone has called it a weak version of Purge, I call it an OP version of the original dispel. This character, dropped into the Dota of today, would become instant staple for Sentinel line-ups, as that dispel can shatter a number of extremely powerful ultimates.

Outside of that, definitely a 5/5. Well done

well...

dispelling silence on yourself, is too imba.. so i'll leave it that way, so you can dispel silence on your teammates if your not silenced..
