Not even Lyralei herself understood the true extent of her connection with the guardian wind. With no knowledge of her forebears, or memory of her first days, she could but listen for the truth in the whispers of sun-dappled trees around her, or the howling storms that keep even daylight at bay. But as she grew, and her strange connection with the guardian wind became ever stronger, an unease about her origins began to take hold. Unleash the power of the wind with the all-new Compass of the Rising Gale Arcana bundle, available now in The International 10 Battle Pass.
This Arcana bundle includes a new model and base items, new animations, a custom channel bar and Focus Fire damage counter, ambient wind effects for both styles, additions to base and Immortal effects for her abilities, new death effects for both Windranger and enemy heroes she takes down, and over 500 new Arcana-exclusive voice lines. Rack up damage on targets you kill using Focus Fire to unlock the Reflections of the Gale alternate style.
From deep inside the toy box, a frightening plaything joins the fray. Available now to all Battle Pass owners who reach level 255, the new Toy Butcher Persona for Pudge features an all-new model, animations, and voice performance.
Feared amongst the fluff-stuffed denizens of the toy box, The Toy Butcher stalks the corners and shadows of the bin, always on the hunt for his next kill. Every toy knows that once the butcher gets his hook in you, your stuffing and your life are forfeit - like as not to be left strewn about the lanes as the plushy monster jaunts happily away from your lonely, ragged remains.
Claim the new persona now in your Battle Pass and don't forget to pick up the Voice of The International Announcer Pack on your way, available to all Battle Pass Owners at level 75 and above, to herald your next victory.
The International 10 Collector's Cache Volume II
The International 10 Collector's Cache is back with a second helping of items from the Dota 2 workshop, featuring full sets for a wide variety of favorite heroes—including a Rare set for Templar Assassin, a Very Rare set for Faceless Void, and an Ultra Rare set for Legion Commander.
Available now for $2.49, unboxing 14 of these treasures will automatically grant you 34 Battle Levels, and the odds of receiving a bonus rare item increase with each one you open. You can also recycle any unwanted sets for two Battle Levels.
Volume II of the Collector’s Cache will only be available for the next thirty days and is the only way to receive these exclusive item sets, apart from the Ultra Rare Legion Commander set which will be marketable sometime after The International 11 concludes. As before, 25% of each sale contributes directly to The International 10 prize pool.
Once again, we’d like to thank all of the community artists who tendered submissions to the Dota 2 Workshop, as well as the entire Battle Pass community for your support.
Fall 2020 Call to Arms
As we move into the later days of summer, it's time now to also start thinking about the approaching fall season and new possibilities for treasure to come. To help prepare, we're inviting all Dota 2 Workshop creators to dream up the latest in Dota 2 fashion and other combat accoutrements.
We're now officially accepting submissions—themed around autumn, Halloween, or perhaps some other innovations of your own—and we're interested in putting a larger quantity of items to use than in the past.
Over the next week or two, we'll be increasing the budgets for workshop items to give you more to work with. If you discover certain slots haven't been improved sufficiently, please send us your feedback so we can make any appropriate adjustments.
Please make sure to mark your submissions with the "Fall 2020" tag when tendering items to the Workshop. We request that all submissions be on the Dota 2 Workshop by the morning of Thursday, September 24th, 2020. As usual, we would like to ask artists to avoid the use of any concepts that involve human skulls, blood, and gore.
Additionally, all Dota fans should remember to regularly visit the Workshop and vote through the Queue to ensure your voices are heard in the selection process.
In addition to these items, each of these treasures you open also offers increasing odds of receiving a rare set of wings for Jakiro, a very rare Golden version of the Slardar or Witch Doctor items, or an ultra rare Ursa cub carrier. There’s even a cosmically rare chance you’ll discover a Divine Emblem.
All Battle Pass owners can find an Immortal Treasure II ready to unbox in the Armory, and you can earn more treasures by increasing your Battle Level. In the meantime, head over to the Battle Pass page for a preview of the new items and custom effects featured in the treasure.

The Summer Event Arrives
After being lost across multiple dimensions, Aghanim the Mighty, Aghanim the All-Knowing, Aghanim the Absolutely-Yoked-and-Handsome, has found his way back to the realm — and he doesn’t arrive alone. Available to everyone and completely free-to-play, Aghanim’s Labyrinth is a four-player, cooperative roguelike that pits your party against Aghanim’s curated collection of interdimensional monsters. No Battle Pass required (although owners of the Battle Pass can earn points by playing).
[previewyoutube="4QxqctzXQqc;full"]
Lost far beyond the astral plane for what felt to him like millennia, Aghanim tumbled hither and yon through the mists of creation, enriching his mind with magic from across the void. Aghanim became impossibly rich with unknowable insights — save for the simple knowledge of how to return. It was only before a chorus of faint voices broke through the din that he believed hope was lost. There, through darkness intertwined with ribbons of horror, could he hear hero after hero building HIS scepter. Gather your party and check out the Aghanim’s Labyrinth for a full overview of the mode. Hurry, Aghanim awaits!
The Disciple's Path — Anti-Mage Hero Persona
From the ashes of a fallen faith, a young warrior joins the fight against the perversions of the arcane. Available now to all Battle Pass owners who reach level 305, the new Disciple's Path Hero Persona for Anti-Mage features an all-new model, animations, and voice performance to ensure she can carry on the lost traditions resurrected by the Anti-Mage.
Rescued at a young age by the Anti-Mage, and fostered by his allies, the disciple Wei began her training as soon as her mentor would allow. Now, after years of study and meditation, Wei is called upon to journey into the world and wage battle by the tenets of a new order—to tear down the pillars of magic and bring the wizards of these realms to their vile knees.
Head over to The Disciple's Path update page to learn more, and then blink into the lanes to farm up and lay waste to your enemies.
