Heads up, Marci fans! DOTA: Dragon’s Blood’s best girl is Dota 2’s 122nd and newest hero.
Her arrival was announced by Valve during Day 5 of The International 10’s (TI10) playoffs after Chinese team PSG.LGD defeated Team Secret 2-0 in an upper bracket final match.
She is the second character to be added to the game’s cast of heroes this year, following Dawnbreaker, who was released on September 28, 2021.

DOTA: Dragon’s Blood viewers will recognize Marci as Mirana’s badass mute bodyguard from the popular Dota 2 Netflix show.
A favorite among old and new fans alike, Marci and her royal companion can now continue their quests in-game once she is added to the game’s roster in the fall.
Based on her reveal trailer, Marci looks like a strength melee hero who deals massive amounts of physical damage. She can also charge her strikes with a cool-looking power-up in which her eyes and fists light up.

How Marci went from Netflix DOTA: Dragon’s Blood to Dota 2
While she isn’t a main character of the Netflix anime and notably has no speaking lines, Marci is well-liked for her reliable and loyal nature which allows her to be exemplary support.
What’s more, DOTA: Dragon’s Blood often depicts her as a character who uses her fists to make a statement.
Together with the new hero, Valve has also announced the next season of Netflix DOTA: Dragon’s Blood. It will continue to follow the stories of Mirana and Davion, along with the reveal of Lina in the series.
