Dota 2 players who weren’t impressed with Patch 7.34e in late November, I hope you’re a bit happier now. Valve has released a gigantic update ahead of the Christmas holidays, with mass changes to heroes, items, the HUD, and so much more.

Dota 2’s Frostivus update: New skins, new HUD

Frostivus has arrived for Dota, but instead of the holiday-themed mode we’ve all come to expect, Valve has opted for a smaller content update with plenty of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.

Players who play Dota 2 during the season will earn Frostivus Chests, which can be opened with the purchase of Frostivus Keys. Pretty standard for Dota today, with the cosmetics reskins of existing Arcanas and Personas. If you don’t own the Arcana or Persona the skin is tied to, don’t worry—you’ll be given that when you open the chest.

The more interesting portion of the update comes in the form of quality-of-life improvements. From the addition of movement and teleport timings shown on-screen to specialized ability reticles and visible creep bounties, Dota 2 players will have immediate access to all the information they need to win. The profile showcase and armory have also been improved with a more intuitive UI experience.

‘Tis the season for giving: New Dota 2 items

Roshan’s been preparing plenty of gifts for Dota players, including the introduction of new items. The Ring of Tarrasque and Tiara of Selemene are enhanced versions of the Ring of Health and Void Stone and are critical pieces for a number of revamped late-game item recipes.

Khanda, which grants critical spell damage, and Parasma, an upgrade to Witch Blade, await players in Patch 7.34, as well as a new lineup of neutral items. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on an Unwavering Condition; the new Tier Five neutral that sets your maximum HP to 1,500 but grants permanent magic immunity. Also new to the list is Aviana’s Feather, which lets you fly when you drop below 30 percent HP. Valve has also brought back some revamped neutral items, like the Royal Jelly and Magic Lamp.

The Frostivus update is now live for all regions and all Dota 2 game modes, so get amongst the fun today! Below we’ve included the full Patch 7.35 notes, including the many item and hero changes.
