It's Friday, and that can only mean one thing...it's nearly the weekend...AND it's time for another exciting round of the DOTAFIRE QUIZ!
Usual rules apply...lets see how you get on :). This week there's a focus on items and unique attack modifiers!
Also, this week's quiz contains almost 0% lore related questions...enjoy!
1) Having extra armour is always useful against physical damage, apply a % reduction that scales to help you through the game. Which of these items provides the least armour? (note, assume the active is NOT being used)
A) Veil of Discord
B) Medallion of Courage
C) Blade Mail
D) Armlet of Mordiggian
4) Wards are like mayflys - they only live for a very short time, but they still selflessly stay put, doing a job for the team. It's not glamorous, they never get any kills or even assists, but they've got a responsibility - and they're damned well gonna stick to it. However, they are often the victims of vicious, unprovoked assaults by enemy heroes - despite being unable to defend themselves. How many hitpoints does a Ward have?
A) 100
B) 150
C) 200
D) 250
1 point for the correct answer. (1)
Spoiler: Click to view
C) Both kinds of Ward have 200 hit points
5) Lifesteal is a pretty useful thing to have once you've got enough right click to really make it work. However, most lifesteal items do this by using a unique attack modifier (UAM). Which of these items can give you lifesteal while still allowing you to wield a Desolator to it's full effect?
A) Vladmir's Offering
B) Satanic
C) Mask of Madness
D) Helm of the Dominator
1 point for the correct answer. (1)
Spoiler: Click to view
A) Vlad's provides a lifesteal aura instead of a UAM, so it doesn't interfere with an item like Desolator. Obviously the lifesteal only works for melee heroes.
6) While an Eye of Skadi or Orb of Venom can successfully be stacked with lifesteal UAMs, which of these items can effectively be used with any UAM item?? (assume no illusions)
A) Desolator
B) Diffusal Blade
C) Maelstrom
D) Satanic
1 point for the correct answer. (1)
Spoiler: Click to view
C) Maelstrom and Mjollnir only have a 25% chance of proc'ing on any hit, if they don't proc then another UAM item you are carrying will be used instead.
7) Some heroes are built around the idea of having unreliable abilities - due to either the situation or luck. Identify these three heroes from the description of one of their abilities below
i) Ranged nuke targets a single unit for between 20 and 210 magic damage at level 1.
ii) Ranged stun/nuke targets a single unit for between 1 and 200 magic damage at level 1.
iii) Ranged nuke/utility ability targets a single enemy unit for between 50 and 100 pure damage at level 1.
8) Some heroes have strange base magic resistance or passives that increase it, which of these heroes has the highest magic resistance at each given level? (no bonuses, reductions, items, etc)
i) Level 0, base resistance only?
ii) 2 points in their resistance skill?
iii) 4 points in their resistance skill?
a) Anti-mage
b) Visage
c) Viper
d) Meepo
1 point for each correct answer. (3)
Spoiler: Click to view
i) D) 35% Base Resistance for Meepo, ii) A) Anti-Mage's Spellshield provides 44% resistance, iii) B) Visage's Gravekeeper Cloak's provides a whopping 67% magic resistance
9) Arr eh now, it's our Cilla with another round of Blind Date (UK viewers only). Pair each of these male and female heroes up as appropriately as possible for a date (1 match only per hero). Look for shared interests and any backstory hints.
A) Chen
B) Batrider
C) Enigma
D) Tusk
E) Skywrath Mage
1 point for 3 correct matches, 2 points for all 5. (2)
Spoiler: Click to view
1E, 2D, 5C, 3B, 4A Skywrath Mage has a huge crush on Vengeful Spirit, although he may have some work to do to win her round Crystal Maiden and Tusk can go dancing on ice Lina could have a fiery relationship with the dangerous batman Enchantress and Chen for their shared love of dangerous pets Spectre and Enigma a mutual interest in oblivion is hard to find
10) Only 4 heroes in the game have both melee and ranged auto-attacks - who are they? (We're not counting Templar Assassin and her Psi-blades as they confuse the issue!)
For me question 6 has a hidden answer, Diffusal Blade on illusion heroes. Diffusal on illusion heroes stacks with any UAM because the illusions still get the diffusal UAM while the main hero gets the other UAM.
So no obligatory "Xyrus score" joke then, since you can't admit I'm perfect when it doesn't come to lore? 8{3
Perfect Score! Here we go baby! >8{D
1: D/B
An Omlette will only give you 5 Armor, whereas Blademail and Veil give you 6, Medallion can either give you 6 or 0 depending on whether you've used it or not
2: B
All the ohters give you 10 Int, but Blademail only gives you 8
3: D
A == 152
B == 133
C == 190
D == 200
4: C, 200
5: A
Only Vlads offers Lifesteal that isn't a UAM
6: C (technically none of them)
Maelstrom has a chance to override, but if it doesn't Proc, it does not prevent any other UAM effect (note, bugs not included) 8{3
Haha you even got what would have been the Xyrus score!!! :). Plus I can't win...I take the mick with it, and you moan...I leave you out, and you moan! ;{)

6) It's generally accepted that you can use them with other UAMs without massive loss, the others not really so.
1) Tided up the question some more
8) Dota2wiki says:
AM: 44.5%/50.5%/56.5%/62.5%
Visage: total magic resistance is 20.8%/31.6%/53.2%/67.6%.
And the question clearly states everything is active to it's fullest extent :)
9) I keep worrying I'm starting to repeat questions - bit of fun, nothing lewd - just like our Cilla.
Unlucky Hamster, it's nice to know people still get caught out thou - can't have everyone getting 15/15!
Got 12/15 :(
Insert meaningless filler here Insert meaningless filler here Insert meaningless filler here Insert meaningless filler here Insert meaningless filler here

Forgot Soul Keeper for the last question.
Forgot Soul Assumption for the 'unreliable' abilities.
Didn't know that Oblivion Staff actually provides less Int. than Blademail.
