A way out, a way to shrug the debuff, or something to eat the burst. Matched on “teleport”, “barrier”.

Damage that lands now rather than over a minute. Matched on “magical”.
- Clear or push the wave
Creeps, summons and anything that hits a building. Matched on “summon”.

Abilities
Dispose
Unit Target · Magical damageMarci grabs an allied or enemy target and throws it effortlessly behind her, damaging and slowing the unit if it's an enemy. Any enemy units in the landing area will also be damaged and slowed.
Rebound
Unit Target · Magical damageMarci bounds to the targeted allied unit, choosing a direction and distance she will spring away from it. Upon reaching the unit, Marci lunges to her final destination, damaging and stunning enemies where she lands. When Rebound is set to alt-cast, Marci brings the target ally with her to her final destination. The ally receives 15% bonus movement speed for 4s.
Bodyguard
Unit Target · Physical damagePassively grants Marci lifesteal and bonus attack damage. When cast on an ally, she provides them with 75% of her passive lifesteal and attack damage bonus. Additionally Marci creates a shared all damage barrier for herself and her partner. As Marci attacks heroes, 30% of the damage dealt restores the barrier.
Special Delivery
No TargetMarci whistles to instantly summon her courier to her. If the courier started in the fountain, it will take items from Marci's stash. After teleporting it will transfer these items to Marci and head back to the fountain. Passively grants all allied couriers 3 bonus levels and 1 bonus health.
Unleash
No Target · Magical damageMarci taps a hidden power, gaining Fury charges that allow her to deliver a rapid sequence of strikes that slow movement and attack speed of the target for 2s. The last strike in every Fury combo creates a damaging pulse around the target. In between Fury combos, Marci is unable to attack for 1.5s. Marci gains 15% movement speed when Unleash is cast.

Aghanim’s Shard
Changes Rebound

Ability names, icons, behaviour, damage type and text, plus the Aghanim’s Scepter and Shard descriptions — as the game itself ships them. Nothing here was counted over matches.
- Win rate by medal · countedread 15 Sept 2026
The same hero at each of Valve’s eight medals, over 4,610,063 public matches. Each medal carries its own sample, because the eight buckets are nothing like the same size.

Win rate against each opponent and across five match-length bands. This channel reports far fewer games than the medal figures above: the median hero pairing is 51 matches and the largest on the whole roster is 707. Rows under 30 games are absent rather than shown small, and the ones that remain are ORDERED by a figure shrunk toward even by its own sample — the rate you see is the real one, the ranking is the careful one.

- Skill order · counted, in league matchesread 3 Oct 2026
Where skill points go, read off every player's own learning order in premium and professional league matches on patches 7.41 and 7.40. Each level shows the ability most players took there and the share that did — a column only a third agree on is printed as a third, not as the rule. Heroes under 30 counted games show no path.
- Situation index · derived, and checkableread 22 Sept 2026
Each situation is a phrase match against Valve’s own ability text, and every row shows the phrases that matched. No win rate is attached, because nobody counts one per situation.
