    • New abilities start locked and unlock when the Scepter goes on.
    • Every hero has its own link, for example ?hero=juggernaut. Below the tool you also see the hero's Aghanim's Shard.

    What does Aghanim's Scepter do in Dota 2?

    Aghanim's Scepter is an item that upgrades your hero. For most heroes it makes the ultimate stronger. Some heroes get upgrades on other abilities too, and 31 heroes get a completely new ability. On top of that, the Scepter is a solid stat item.

    +10 Strength+10 Agility+10 Intelligence+175 Health+175 Mana

    The upgrade is active as long as the Scepter sits in your inventory. Allies can always see on the scoreboard who has one. Enemies see it too, once they see you. Axe likes when enemies see his Scepter. Then they run. Axe likes chasing.
