Spirit Breaker, the beloved bovine hero, has made an incredible comeback at The International 2023, securing a record second win for Team Spirit. Despite being overlooked in previous patches and tournaments, Spirit Breaker’s recent buff in Patch 7.34d, along with nerfs to its counters, propelled the hero back into the spotlight.

Tundra Esports’ Nine was the first to recognize Spirit Breaker’s potential in the current tanky Strength and Universal meta. With an impressive win rate of six out of eight games at TI, Spirit Breaker quickly became a highly contested pick, often banned in the early stages of the draft.

Throughout the tournament, Spirit Breaker boasted a 58 percent win rate from 36 picks, accompanied by a significant number of bans. Collapse, the Spirit offlaner, showcased his mastery of the hero in the final game of the tournament, contributing to Team Spirit’s remarkable comeback in game three.

Collapse’s build deviated from the standard Sange and Yasha, opting for an Octarine Core instead. Thanks to his Hand of Midas, Collapse managed to secure the item before the 20-minute mark. Spirit Breaker’s high Strength gain and tankiness allowed him to sustain in the lane and catch up in farm with the help of Midas.

Once equipped with the Octarine Core, Collapse relentlessly charged around the map, applying pressure to the enemy cores and forcing them out of their comfort zones. At level 20, Spirit Breaker’s talent provided a significant boost to his kill potential, with a 25 percent bonus damage to Greater Bash. This ensured that his Charge of Darkness not only stunned enemy carries but also dealt substantial damage, often halving their HP pool with a follow-up Nether Strike.

With the addition of a Silver Edge, Spirit Breaker became a formidable initiator, capable of taking down even the most resilient hyper carries with defensive passives. His combination of tankiness, speed, and burst damage made him a force to be reckoned with in both professional play and ranked matches.

The only question that remains is how long IceFrog and the Dota 2 developers will allow Spirit Breaker to dominate the game. While other heroes may have surpassed Spirit Breaker’s win rate, none possess the same well-roundedness and versatility in pro play and ranked matches.

Brace yourself for an influx of Spirit Breaker picks in your Dota 2 pub matches as players strive to replicate the hero’s success at TI12 this week.
