Immortals battle guide

How a match works

• Draft a hero. Each of the twenty-four heroes has four abilities on Q, W, E and R, and a role: some hold the front line, some heal, some strike from range.
• Creeps march down the top, middle and bottom lanes. Fight beside them, push towards the enemy towers, and defend your own.
• Destroy towers, then barracks, then the enemy Ancient. When it is shattered, your side wins.

Controls

• Move and attack: right-click on the ground or on an enemy.
• Abilities: Q, W, E and R. Learn or upgrade one with Shift and the same key.
• Items: 1 to 6. Shop: B. Recall home: T. Boons: N.
• Camera: C changes the camera angle and Space centres it on your hero. Scoreboard: Tab. Ping: Alt and click.
• On a phone or tablet, turn the device sideways; the game has touch controls.

Gold, items and the courier

• Land the final hit on enemy creeps to earn their gold. Last-hit your own dying creeps to deny the enemy their gold.
• Open the shop with B. At your fountain, purchases go straight to your inventory; elsewhere the courier brings them to you.
• An item you own can be sold back for half its price. Spare items can wait in your backpack.
• If your hero falls, you can pay gold to buy back and return to the fight at once.

Towers and barracks

• Towers target creeps first, unless you strike an enemy hero within their reach. Attack heroes under an enemy tower only when you can win quickly.
• Let your creeps take the tower’s first shots, then join in.
• Destroying a lane’s barracks makes your creeps in that lane stronger for the rest of the match. Break every barracks and they become mega creeps.

Runes, night and the river boss

• A power rune appears in the river every two minutes. Double Damage can turn a fight, so send someone for it.
• At night every hero sees less. Place a Watcher Totem to keep a lane safe from surprise attacks.
• The Old Warden waits in its pit by the river. Group with your team before you take it on.

Boons

• Boons are permanent upgrades. You choose one at each of levels 10, 15, 20 and 25: press N when a boon is available.
• Pick the boon that strengthens what your hero already does well, whether that is damage, healing or staying alive.

Tips

• Last hits first. Early gold decides the middle of the match. Hit creeps only as they are about to fall.
• Recall to restock. Low on health or mana? Press T to go home and come back with new items.
• Watch the minimap. If enemy heroes are missing, they may be on their way to you.
• Push together. A lone hero under an enemy tower is an easy target; a group with a creep wave breaks towers.
• Defend your Ancient. A match is never over until one Ancient falls.
