Q

Arctic Burn

Winter Wyvern soars upon an arctic wind, granting her unobstructed movement and allowing her to exhale a blistering chill into each attack. While soaring, her attacks travel further and faster, and slow enemies with a magical freeze that strips them of 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 of their current health each second.

      Strategy

      Make sure to hit each enemy at least once to apply the Arctic Burn debuff.

      Avoid Splinter Blasting melee creeps until it reaches level 4 as you will put ranged creep in deny range.

      Be careful when using Cold Embrace as a save. Often it is better to use your slows or Winter's Curse.

      It is good to play close to trees or cliffs in dangerous spots on the map, so you can escape with Arctic Burn.

      Avoid showing yourself early in fights. Stay hidden and play around your Winter's Curse and Cold Embrace. Use Arctic burn to reposition.

      Use Winters Curse carefully in the middle of fights as you might waste a lot of your ally's damage and cooldowns.

      Having timely Blink Dagger will allow you to seize a moment and land multi-hero Winter's Curses.

      Fight around good vision so you can position well and land multi-hero Winter's Curses.

      Counter Strategy

      Winter Wyvern is bad at trading when Arctic Burn is down.

      Cold Embrace prevents all physical damage.

      Focus Winter Wyvern in fights as she provides saves and disables for her team.

      Avoid clumping up and fighting in choke spots against Winter's Curse.

      Black King Bar prevents you from hitting a Cursed unit, but you can still get cursed yourself.

      Status resistance items shorten the duration of Winter's Curse.

      Lore

      Like many great poets, Auroth just wants time to write, but the Winter Wyvern's life is full of interruptions. The epics of the Eldwurms have a long and colorful history, but some fear that the remaining dragon scholars are not as prolific as they once were, with few lines added to the Eldwurm Eddas since the last age of greatness. Auroth laments: "We forget that there is more to life than triumph and dominion over enemies. We must also live our lives in the pursuit of creative expression." She embarks on research expeditions, collecting books for inspiration. But all this research can be terribly distracting, and she spends less time writing than she should. Although she knows she should be lurking in her lair, adding to the Eddas, she finds herself engaged in epic battles against powerful enemies. She loots castles, raids ancient libraries ... and if she happens to heap glory on herself in the process, she tells herself that it's merely a side effect of her research. The fact is, while her skill and power on the battlefield are legendary, her scholarly travails have thus far hardly been the stuff of literary acclaim. But she is not content to stand as a protagonist of heroic lore. She wishes also to create it.
