Hero Upgrades

What they are

Every one of Dota 2's 127 heroes has a unique Aghanim's Shard (1,400 gold) and a unique Aghanim's Scepter (4,200 gold) upgrade. Moonshard (4,000 gold, optional consume) gives huge attack speed. Neutral Items are tiered drops you equip in a special slot — picking the right one matters a lot.

Why timing matters

An Aghs Shard on Pudge at 15 min is game-winning. The same Shard at 45 min is barely noticed. We bucket WR by game length so you see when each upgrade actually moves the needle for your hero — instead of inflated 'winners bought more' numbers.

How to use this page

Pick your hero, look at the per-bucket Δ WR for Shard and Scepter. A strong positive Δ in early/mid buckets means rush it. A flat Δ across all buckets means it doesn't change the game much for that hero.
