As a DOTA2 game lover (although I have become a cloud player for a long time), I think it is necessary to write a film review to introduce the DOTA2 game elements and backgrounds that appear in the play, so that audiences who have not been exposed to this game can understand something. .
First of all, some heroes in DOTA2 appeared at the beginning of the first episode:
The opening chapter also introduces that Dire and Radiance are two fragments of the original consciousness split, and then a broken planet appears. This should be the Moon of Madness. In the background story of DOTA2, it is the radiance produced by the broken Moon of Madness. And night dire.
At the beginning of the Hunyuan Dynasty, when the world was not divided, the new born world ushered in a strange companion star-a crystal-like transparent planet, which was called the "lunar moon" by later generations. This seemingly small planet contains the power of violent rays of light-people who witness this power feel as if they have witnessed the battle of the gods with their own eyes. The light it emits is so strong that the sunlight in the daytime is also inferior. Three points. The Moon of Madness is not a safe and stable planet. He is not so much a planet as a prison. Inside are imprisoned two ancient wisdoms that have fought for thousands of years. The creator of the world is tired of the endless fighting between his two people, so he punished them and imprisoned these two ancient wisdoms in a crystal made of supernatural powers. Inside the sphere, let them fight forever and fall forever. This unknown cage has floated in space for countless centuries, and finally, was captured by the gravity of our poor world.
Under the shining moon of madness, the primitive social civilization era has changed, and countless philosophers and wise men have watched this strange star all their lives, using their imagination and leisurely cognitive ability to explain this phenomenon. At the same time, the cracks created by the orbital stress and tidal force between the celestial bodies also caused the "prisoners" of Mad Moon to start plotting to escape. At first, the cracks were only subtle, but they kept colliding with the forces inside. , The cracks began to spread, from the smallest cracks to tens of thousands of huge gullies, from time to time the energy inside gave off a coquettish red light.
Finally, on the night known as the "Night of the Moon Moon", the moon of madness fell apart. Most of the body fragments scattered into the space and burned out. However, some fragments fell on the ground, some melted, and some shattered, but retained the original crystal shape. The fragment lay quietly on the ground. Time has changed, and finally, the earth slowly recovered from the catastrophe, and the survivors of this prehistoric catastrophe have gradually lived and multiplied and passed on civilization. Later, the Moon of Madness has gradually become an unattainable dream, and the Night of the Moon Moon has also become a legend.
Quoting to DOTA2 "Glory Moon"
In the later episode, Mirana saw a fascinating red crystal in the cave attracting zombies, and it was probably also a quote from the second paragraph of the "Glory Moon" above.
The main characters in the first season of this series have 5 heroes in DOTA, namely: Dragon Knight, Mirana (Priestess of the Moon), Luna (Knight of the Moon), Invoker, and Terror Blade (TB for short) . There is also a goddess of the moon that only appears in the background story and hero lines: Celimonie, plus a mysterious merchant NPC.
Carden, who played against the dragon knight, appeared in the background of an official auto board game "Dota Underlords" of DOTA2. By the way, the DOTA2 game has derived two official games with the same background, namely the auto chess game "Dota Underlord" and the card game "Artifact". However, both of these games are currently in a dead state.
The prototype of the game DOTA2 is a battle map in Warcraft: DOTA, let’s call it DOTA1. The five heroes that appeared in the series have their images in DOTA1 and DOTA2. Let’s first introduce the hero of this series: Dragon Knight
Judging from the introduction of Dragon Knight in DOTA2, the Dragon Knight in this show basically matches the background of the game. In the game, the dragon knight is holding a shield. This shield is quite important for the dragon knight. The second skill of the dragon knight in the human form: the dragon's tail is to use the shield to strike and stun the enemy.
The dragon knight in the episode does not have a shield in his hand, maybe it hasn't been made yet or he hasn't got it yet. I don't know if there will be in the next second and third seasons.
The third skill of the dragon knight is called dragon blood, which improves the armor and life recovery. In the play, we can also see that the dragon knight has the ability to heal itself.
The dragon knight’s ultimate move is to change into a dragon, and there are a total of 4 forms of ultimate move
Next is the heroine Mirana. In DOTA1, Mirana’s model is Tyrande in war3, and the player is usually called the white tiger or pom.
The background introduction of Milana in DOTA2 is similar to that in the show, but there is no performance of Milana's skills in the show, and archery is just a normal attack in my opinion.
And in the background introduction of Luna in DOTA2, we can see that Luna was a cruel leader known as "The Disaster of the Plains" before, and she also retained her brutal killing personality in the play. Luna’s skills are shown in the play, and the moonlight falling from the sky is her skills.
The first translation of the name of the Invoker in DOTA1 is: Summoner Carl, and players generally call it Carl.
In the background introduction of DOTA2, the Invoker is a genius magician. He has lived from a certain period in ancient times to the present, and has obtained the art of immortality. He has changed many names in the long years, which is obviously the same as in the play. There is a big difference between the supplicants. (If our noble genius magician is so sentimental and talks to the goddess, can he live so long?)
The performance of Karl's skills in the play is only the three element balls he controls, namely blue balls: ice, orange balls: fire, and purple balls: thunder. Carl's skills are obtained through the combination and switching of these three element balls. It is more complicated, and it is no wonder that it is not shown in the drama.
Since Carl has as many as 10 skills, only 2 of them are on the body, which test the operator's skill switching and casting in actual combat, so in the DOTA2 game, Carl is a high-level role, so novices should never touch them. .
The world setting in the play is introduced to the dragon knight through the supplicant:
In the world of DOTA2, there are seven planes and seven hells, and there are also four elements and four basic laws, corresponding to eight heroes.
Four Spirits of Elements:
The four basic rules are:
The play has been adapted. The four elements and four basic rules correspond to the eight ancient dragon souls on the eight pillars of creation.
There are six dragons in the picture, and two of them are left. One is Slyric in the dragon knight's body, and the other is Uldric, who is dead and possessed by the Terrorblade in the first episode. Uuld in DOTA2 Rick is also called Urdorak, the dragon of time killed by the dragon knight Davian. In the game, the dragon knight has Urdorak's accessories
In addition, the names of the other six dragons are not yet known and what they represent, they may be introduced gradually in the follow-up plot. (Supplement: At the beginning of the seventh episode, the Invoker captured a dragon named Lirik, who represents the mother of the sea and the mother of storms, and there are 5 dragons remaining)
The Invoker’s introduction also mentions the Seven Hells. What’s interesting is that in the later episodes, when the Elf soldiers scold Luna, they mentioned the Fourth Hell.
In DOTA2, the Great Demon Terror Blade is in the evil hell of the fourth hell
In this play, Terrorblade is still imprisoned in the evil hell. He can only show up by temptation and possession. In the last episode, he only shows up for a short time by signing an agreement with the supplicant to defeat Celie. Monnie. In the play, the skills of the horror blade are shown. TB and Celemonie first used the magic skills to fight.
Then you can see Terrorblade used a phantom clone to rush towards Celimonie
Then used the reflection skill on Celimone, creating a clone of Celimone and chasing Celimone.
In the DOTA2 game, I didn’t see Ceremony, the goddess of the moon. It only appeared in the lines of Luna and Mirana. However, in the DOTA2 card game "Artifact", there is a card called "Sai Limonie’s avatar", you can see the approximate figure
As the goddess of the moon in the world of DOTA2, in fact, the portrayal of Ceremony in the show feels a bit bitch. We can see from the introduction of Luna in the game that it was the goddess of the moon who led the cruel Luna, so I personally think that the goddess of the moon should be a positive image.
In the second episode, when Mirana asked Nicoto to ask about the whereabouts of Lotus, a red-skinned thug appeared behind Nicoto.
This involves a race in the DOTA2 world: Highlanders. Highlanders are all red skinned, and the typical representative is King Axe, which is included in the hero combination picture at the beginning of the first episode.
Highlanders are brave and good at fighting. The main plot of the DOTA2 card game "Artifact" is the war between the "Red Mist Legion" of the Highlanders and the "Bronze Legion" of Shitang City.
In fact, the most powerful person in this world is not the supplicant, not Celimonie, nor the Terrorblade, but he:
In the DOTA2 game, the mysterious shop opened by the mysterious merchant is a place that the heroes cannot avoid in the mid and late stages. If you offend him, don't mix it up. Do you still want top equipment? At the end of the sixth episode, the Invoker seems to have also used the mysterious merchant’s green gems to sign an agreement with Terrorblade, so that Terrorblade's real body can defeat Celimonie.
The world view setting of DOTA2 is very ambitious. As a drama series adapted from the game, the performance of the story of Dragon Blood is quite good. I hope this drama can attract more new players playing Dota 2 and save this deadgame (manual dog head).
