Elizabeth the Pandora is one of the most versatile heroes in the game, but is most commonly known as a durable carry. Because of her unique passive, stigmata, Pandora can easily defend squishy heroes from most attacks, and can also focus on heroes that rely on fire. Her signature Nova Form scales incredibly well late game, and is most commonly used to initiate and eliminate the other team’s supports.

Pandora is one of the most difficult heroes in the game to play, and is not recommended for beginners.

   - Damage: 8
   - Triggers: Sneak

Pandora will shoot a beam of high energy when hitting the sneak button! Dealing low amounts of damage while only going a small distance. This is best used when defending, because when running you will need to slow down a lot to deal low amounts of damage.

   - Chance: 10%
   - Added Buffs:
     - Absorption I
     - Speed II

When Pandora is feeling hurt, she sometimes summons the powers Stigmata to protect her from harm and reset all her cooldowns! This has a 10% chance to happen, so it is an amazing silver lining for Pandora.

Recommended items

Core:

• Intelligence I: Pandora isn't very mana reliant, so you only need to pick up level I intellegence. Level II would be a luxury item.
• All Strength Scrolls: The more health Pandora has, the better. Buying as much as possible will abuse her Stigmata, especially with
• Blademail.
• Vladmir's Offering: This item will make you pretty much invincible in Nova Form.
• Luxury
• Blademail: With Pandora’s high defences and health, blademail is another essential tanking item.
• Orchid Malevolence: Disables are another big issue for Pandora, so silencing a Xerox can really save you from doing nothing in a teamfight.

Situational:

• Ghost Scepter: Melee heroes can get close to Pandora, which is slightly out of her range.
• Mekansm: Supports doing badly? Buy a mekansm.

Tips

• Silence can completely shut down Pandora. It’s extremely important to use Nova Form before a teamfight if the other team can silence.
• Wings of Light directly counters heroes that rely on night, such as Widowmaker and Knight.
• It’s best not to use Accel Turn while in Nova Form, as it significantly reduces the length of the buff.
• Disable sticky keys.
• Great counterpick for teams with one or more fire reliant heroes.
• Buying scrolls of agility is generally not advised. Intelligence and Strength come first.
• Entomb can drain the duration of your Nova form

Trivia

• Pandora is the only hero that can’t cast a main attack with left click.
