Abilities, roles and builds with an explanation for every purchase.
HERO GAME PLANI support the team with dispels, healing, and songs, hitting the beat in the right window of a fight.
With his slick-strumming fingers and sticky-whip tongue, Largo is always ready to grant his team damage, healing, or speed and dispel friends or foes using just the right lick.
My recommendation is a starting point. We choose another position together with the team and for its needs.
Offlane is the most common role in the checked Dota2ProTracker sample. In lane, I build up the resources to actively support the team.
Help the lane, provide vision and keep the ally alive first; expensive upgrades follow the necessary team purchases.
I contribute through laning, control and movement. I adapt the expensive core route to my budget.
I compare my starting point with current high-MMR builds. I name the source beside the build path and choose my own variations for the match’s needs.
The core build in the current Dota2ProTracker sample is Soul Ring, Phase Boots, Kaya, Kaya and Sange, and Shard. I add Aghanim later based on the team’s needs and consider BKB or Lotus as alternative protection.
Dota2ProTracker · 7.41f · checked 06.10.2026 ↗
Provides additional mana at the cost of health: I use it when I have health to spare or a way to recover.
Help maintain close contact and pass through groups of units.
Improves magical damage and mana efficiency without committing to an expensive item straight away.
Strengthens a magic damage build and adds survivability for longer engagements.
Unlocks or upgrades Encore. The exact effects are shown below in the abilities section.
Unlocks or upgrades Amphibian Rhapsody, Bullbelly Blitz. The exact effects are shown below in the abilities section.
Black King Bar ↗Provides a window for my actions against eligible magical damage and disables. I check effects that pierce the protection.
Lotus Orb ↗Lets me remove an eligible negative effect and complicates the opponent's targeted focus.
Pipe of Insight ↗Provides team protection against substantial magical damage.
Here is my initial plan: I do my role's job first, then choose the items the team needs. I adapt the order and expensive purchases to the opponent.
Provide mana for laning and regular ability use.
Strengthens the hero’s healing plan and provides another source of restoration when needed.
Adds a protective tool and hides the chosen ally; invisibility does not replace escaping detection.
Moves me or an ally out of danger; direction depends on the target's facing.
Combine mana and health sustain for the team; useful in prolonged fights together.
Lotus Orb ↗Lets me remove an eligible negative effect and complicates the opponent's targeted focus.
Pipe of Insight ↗Provides team protection against substantial magical damage.
Aeon Disk ↗Protects against sudden focus fire. I account for the cooldown and the fact that my damage is limited while it triggers.
I do not assign one ‘correct’ minute to every purchase. I look at my gold, the next fight and the problem: am I missing mana, target access, control or protection? If an expensive slot will arrive too late, I get a useful answer earlier.

The hero uses his sticky tongue to pull the target a short distance toward himself and apply a basic dispel, also dealing damage if the target is an enemy.
Largo licks the targeted unit with his tongue, pulling it back a short distance, applying a basic dispel, and dealing damage if it's an enemy. Killing or dispelling an effect from a target grants Largo temporary health regeneration. DISPEL TYPE: Basic Dispel
Largo tosses froglings to an area. They stomp the ground every 1 second, dealing damage and ministuns, and enemies in the area have reduced movement speed.
The hero plays a tune for an ally, reducing the mana cost of all their items and abilities and causing a portion of their spell damage to echo over 5 seconds.
The hero plays a tune for an ally, reducing the mana cost of all their items and abilities and causing a portion of their spell damage to echo over 5 seconds. For anyone other than the ability’s owner, each instance of mana expenditure reduces the tune’s duration by 0.5 sec.
The hero begins a performance: he can no longer attack, and his other abilities are replaced by three songs that only work when played on the beat.
The hero begins a performance: he can no longer attack, and his other abilities are replaced by three songs that only work when played on the beat. Hitting the beat grants the hero a stack of groove, while missing it removes one. Each stack increases the owner’s armor and reduces the mana cost of songs. When the performance ends, all groove is lost after a short delay.
Largo can play two songs per beat by strumming both at the same time.
These abilities are not necessarily available at the same time. I check the condition beside the name: innate ability, another form or an Aghanim purchase.
Buffs that Largo applies to himself or his team have extended duration.
