In 7.38, there’s a unique synergy going on that has made the Offlane version of the build much more viable. In 7.38, the developers changed Medusa’s level 10 Talent to increase Gorgon’s Grasp’s radius. But also in 7.38, Gleipnir now also increases the AoE of your spells. What’s more is that if you manage to capture an enemy within the radius of two Gorgon’s Grasp Rings, the damage is doubled. So now as Medusa, it is vastly easier to chain-root your enemies by initiating with Gleipnir to then cast a guaranteed Gorgon’s Grasp that hits them with double the damage, followed by your Meteor Hammer, which also has a larger AoE, thus you have a larger range to cast it. This early-game chain of lockdowns, as well as damage combo, is what makes Medusa so viable as an Offlaner. Items like Meteor Hammer both provide her with pushing and farming power while also contributing to her ability to absorb damage and create an early-game offensiveness, with your strong nuking damage of Mystic Snake, to remove map-control from the enemy and cement your team with a lead early in the match. With the key items I mentioned, you see a synergy of how these items both create a lot of control in early team-fights for Medusa but also build up her tankability through her innate ability, Mana Shield, with the intelligence attributes those items apply. So it is definitely interesting to see why this style of Medusa was deemed valid enough to be played at the pro-level. Similar to Faceless Void with Chronosphere versus Faceless Void Offlane with Time Zone, Medusa as a late-game damage-dealer versus this Offlane Medusa is all the about early-game momentum and lockdown to secure your team lead in kills and networth to then capitalize on that to take towers and high-ground quickly thanks to Meteor Hammer. With all that said, this hero is easily countered by anyone who opts to buy Diffusal Blade or heroes that naturally can sap your mana-pool and thus your health. So heroes like Lion, Anti-Mage, Ursa with Diffusal Blade or Nyx Assassin with the Mana Burn facet. So be wary that there is a way to stop you given enough time and focus from enemies. Lastly, if you’re at a MMR where it’s hard to get your team to play around you, you’re going to have a bad time as Offlane Medusa needs to be where the fights are and not spend her time coming into a fight that’s already occurring. 0:00 Medusa is now in the Offlane Position 3 0:21 How Offlane Medusa differs from Carry Medusa 0:45 How 7.38 & 7.38c Made Medusa Offlane Powerful 1:57 How Medusa Laning Works 2:29 How to Skill Medusa 2:46 Medusa's new Facet: Undulation 3:31 Medusa Late-Game Items 4:10 In Summary 4:32 How to Counter Medusa You can find me on Twitter for thoughts, opinions and news:   / tortedelini   You can chat with me about Dota on Discord:   / discord   Bio: Torte de Lini is a popular Dota 2 Builds & Guides Creator.
