Playstyle
Zet is a spellcasting agility hero with a focus on using utility items and utility skills for the betterment of his team. His spells deal a lot of damage, especially early game, but are somewhat difficult to hit. His ultimate is very powerful in all situations due to its short cooldown and decent duration, with not a huge penalty otherwise. For this reason, he is most effective when he is coordinating with his team to set up ganks in early to mid game, while providing either utility or damage later in the game through his ultimate.

His first skill is Flux. It is a single target ability that deals sizeable DPS to enemies, as well as slowing them by 50% for 5 seconds. However, no other enemy unit should be nearby that hero. For this reason, it is ideal in lanes where you are against a solo hero, such as solo mid. The long duration earlygame will completely destroy anyone in your way. The AOE is quite small and you can even squeeze out these in dual lanes or tri laneswhen the enemy isn't very tanky, as they will be forced to either change their positioning or lose the battle. As it levels, it gains damage, but more importantly cast range which will allow you to initiate quite well. When you use this in conjunction with tempest double, you can either use it to kite one hero for a long time or just put it on the supports in the middle which are trying to avoid damage.

His second skill is Magnetic Field. It is a utility based abilities best utilized when the battle is not mobile, such as when you are pushing. However, it can still be used to great effect in teamfights. This will be his main lategame skill, and will help greatly when they have a farmed enemy carry. When you're in choke points that you don't want to be in, this will greatly aid you in the tide of battle. Even if you're not, if you're still bunched up because you're pushing a tower, it will give you a lot of leeway. However, it has a huge cooldown so, if possible, try to save one on your tempest double while you dole them out.

His third skill is Spark Wraith. It is an interesting delayed damage ability that you fire at a long distance with a priming duration of 3 seconds. The cooldown is extremely low; only 4 seconds. It also has a great 2000 cast range , making it an excellent continuous source of damage. It can be used for chasing, or especially area denial in lane. Because of the large damage and low manacost at level 1, he can use this as a pseudo-techies mine and lay then around the lane or rune where he thinks people will come, and score an easy kill this way. The projectile itself shoots out very fast, but requires good timing or a set up to properly hit. For this reason, in hectic mobile battles it can become quite difficult. Generally, just try to lead the heroes and place it in obstructed vision like trees where he will run nearby. If worst comes to worst, you will just force him to take an inopportune path. Keep laying these down since they're low manacost, they can snag you a kill after the battle.

His last skill is Tempest Double. It is a very unique skill granting you an additional hero with your original spells and items for a small health and mana cost. As it levels, you take less damage and use less mana when casting it, which is good because you're not very tanky in the first place and it has a low cooldown. This skill really opens up a massive amount of possibilities for Arc Warden. He can go a large amount of builds such as support with CC items and arcane boots, damage with utility damage items such as manta or ethereal blade, and ganking with items such as medallion or necro3. Really, you can just adapt to what your team has and what their team has because of his wide variety of skill and item combos, similar to rubick.

i think the second skill is totally ridiculous!how come he can spam that skill with only 50 mana,within every 4 sec and its damage is 300!also can be cast with the range of 2000.so unfair.

Caleb said...

It so unfair ! Remakes please

orchid manta shiva and this guy own

you can defeat roshan within seconds with lvl 3 necronomicon and backdoor a tower (yes, backdoor!) and destroy it also within seconds. 4 necronomicon can deal a whopping 500+ damage per second alone! combine this with magnetic field and flux = imba much

Unknown said...

WITH NECRONOMICON (4 LVL 3) + MAGNETIC FIELD YOU CAN EASILY DEFEAT ROSHAN AND BACKDOOR A TOWER WITHIN SECONDS!

Prankster said...

Anybody knows hero code of zet?

Unknown said...

i would prefer the arc to play supportive man......starting armor zero....base damage really low comparing other heroes...wud prefer vanguard,pipe, shivas armor, dagon,orchid,guinsoo....the evasion that it provides is damn imba....and the spark wraith can be spammed and even hunt the invis target dude....it can be killer.....also manta is preferrable since the magnetic field provides the a.s along evasion.....:D

Anonymous said...

100% evasion!!! IMBA hero!

Anonymous said...

thing is he has the field skill that grants 100% evasion, just use ethereal,manta,dagon,necronomicion, BoT,and guinsoo. First use ulti,then field, barrage them necronomicon, then ethereal blade, then 2 dagon activates, then guinsoo(continuous one after the other has lost effect) then you could also use refresher orb for the ultimate killing machine barraging ur enemies with 3 dagon attacks, 3 ethereal blade attacks, 3 guinsoo attacks, 6 necronomicons that burns the enemies mana, fields that render base attacks useless and mantas that put out a lot of attack power.BOOM!

what so IMBA? this's normal IMHO! then how about Ulfasaar, Stlitche, Eredar, and Lanaya?

Anonymous said...

its better for necronomicon.. and guinso XD

Anonymous said...

This hero is not imba at all, 3rd skill is very easily avoidable and it needs 3 seconds to form to damage anything and it lasts for 50 secs.. Pretty useless after enemies are level 6-7 and above. Only good for solo mid to chase hero away for better farming and preventing enemy from farming.. You people saying manta, dagon 5, necro3, guinsoo.. Lol.. You think you can farm that with this hero?? Play and think again!! Winter Wyvern's skills are more balanced and useful.

i think he can repel juggernut

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

this guy is Imba his ss can use Ehteral and Dagon easy kill

Anonymous said...

Imba? So funny bro...

1st skill can be muted if we aprroach ally unit
2nd skill. Just walk away from the AoE.
3rd skill need 3 second to active, so we can easily escape from it. Unless it placed in blindspot
4th skill can make a chaos, but attack two of it and finish...

Spark Wraith is ability that can be used alike of Goblin Miner...

Manta Style + Damage

Use ultimate to produce copy, press F1 and click Manta, press F2 and click Manta, cast the area effect spell, use spark wraith with both hero and double, use area effect spell again, use spark wraith with hero and double.

completely easy to kill using tiny (stone giant). not thought enemy at all when you all skilled.

Anonymous said...

Play as support.. play safe

place your spark wraiths on their towers after the creeps get past them.. you'll just need 4 wraiths at early game (wraiths are hard to see when placed on towers)
farm midas as fast as you can,
at level 6 get tempest double and use it to get another shot of midas
get boots then necro LVL 3
get manta and upgrade boots to BoT then get guinsoo

if you want, you can also get lothars to push safely

You are a fuckin pusher. Nuking the heck out of towers in seconds

use tempest double to get 4 necros, 4 illus and 2 of you. you can push 2 towers in one shot if you're lucky
