IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Spelunker is a high complexity ranged agility hero who swings around the battlefield with her grappling hook while her loyal companion Wozzol rampages on the enemy. Wozzel is a simple partially controllable unit who scales with Spelunkers level and movement speed. He follows her around, trying to provide vision. With Spelunker's spells she can make Wozzel move to specific locations, attack enemies, or rampage. What makes Spelunker a complex hero is her high skill expression ultimate. With Grappling hook she can swing around, moving quickly over terrain while also stunning and damaging enemies. Doing this correctly requires a lot of intuition and practice. Spelunker was created for the "A Pet Indeed" contract in the heroes wanted contest on r/dotaconcepts.
