Select your hero. Then from a book your hero carries, level up and customize your hero's skill set from a pool of 24 abilities and 9 Ultimates.
While that's happening, fight alongside other players and allied creeps as you push into your opponent's base and destroy your enemies.
Not every spell is for everyone. Mages can learn Omnislash, but they usually don't strike as fast as Agility Based heroes such as the Ronin (Blademaster). But you can use your creativity and unleash your own unique spell combinations and tactics.
