Guide to Farming Queen of Pain Arcana Points: QoP Lawyer

Guides & Tips

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine posted the screenshot of my QoP alternate style last night and it seemed like people have some confusions/misconceptions on how to get points for the Arcana (since all it says is "torment enemies").

Here's a short guide on how to get points, and some tips to maximizing the points you get!

  1. You get one point per enemy hero hit with a Sonic Wave. It will be represented as a "combo meter" (each combo point = one point).

  2. You MUST have vision of the enemy when they are hit (fog/uphill/invisible does not count). Hidden units DO count (eg Slark ult, Dark Willow W). This is probably the least commonly known part about the Arcana. It's pretty common to ult someone from fog knowing where they are, so just be aware of this.

  3. You must win the game to gain any points.

From what I am told, you get half the points in Turbo, I wouldn't know because I got all my points playing ranked only. It was a total of 60 games, averaging 25~ points per win.

Other tips:Lowering your cooldown is obviously helpful for spamming your ult, and getting one-two hits is better than trying to save it for a five person ult that will never come. Aghs & octarine allows for that, though it is extremely gold inefficient and can lose you the game. Remember, winning is more important than points since you get zero points if you lose.

I have experienced a bug in at least 20% of my games where I stop gaining points from using my ult. If you notice your combo meter is not showing up, the only fix is dying. Don't feed on purpose!

Best of luck to anyone slowly grinding their QoP Arcana!

60 games, that’s painful.

Painful, but fun in it's own way. Otherwise, we wouldn't be playing dota right?

i think i played about 100 -150 games for ES arcana.
