1. Introduction

After the 6.65 was released AA became one of the great heroes for me with four active spells.Using his four active spells can be quite intimidating once the user maters this hero becomes one of the most powerful heroes in DotA. AA can stop pushes from another lane using his ice blast and still he can keep on pushing from another lane.Using cold feet he can harass enemy heroes, and therefore has and excellent lane control.His capability of amplifying teams damage while in a gank is also extraordinary.

2. Hero Overview

Strength:18+1.4
This neither good nor bad for heroes like AA.

Agility:20+2.2

This is good and the gain is also good per level.

Intelligence:25+2.6
This is also good almost excellent this makes AA easy to spam powers.
