Oracle Overview

Lore & Bio

For generations, the descendants of the Cymurri Throne have taken prophecies from the ivory of Icubarium, on the high peaks of the Zealot Mountains, deposited in advance for fulfillment at the time of conception of the embryo and considered for surrender. Once an adult, trained to foretell the Gate of the Graven King.

Raised with the Pallid Sybils who gave birth and raised them, all recognized Oracles are allowed to rely on their bodies in the world most of us share. Simultaneously, their souls roamed faraway lands, barely bound by the hairiest astral umbilicus. From traveling across the universe, prophets will return speaking words of fire with body language. Their mystical sayings were analyzed by Cymurri advisers, who guided them to the future, diplomatic advice, and all the supernatural equipment that King Graven needed to ensure victory in the war. every campaign, whether at home or on the battlefield. So it was passed down through the generations, the pages of Graventome's history filled with the names of the victorious kings and the new lands they conquered. As such, it was passed down until the appearance of a special prophet named Nerif who came to serve until the end of the life of the stone-helmed kings.

At first, Nerif's prophecies were unusual. They seem to not merely foretell the future, but to shape it. The strange oracle raised his voice hoarsely to utter unsolicited advice, and suddenly the Cymurri found themselves engulfed in conflicts with their newly discovered enemy. The advisors, seeing a threat to their authority, were quick to scupper, not welcoming the latest developments on Oracle. They demanded his removal, petitioning Sybils to reclaim their position as oracle and replace him with a worthy replacement. But Nerif portrays a bad dream about the demise of the Incubarium, and within hours, news of that ancient school was destroyed in a severe avalanche. Fearing the same fate as Sybils Pallid, the advisors retreated to their boardrooms, suddenly feeling anxious and wanting to avoid Oracle's announcement.

Graven King was a believer who was very practical. He was more skeptical of his advisers' warnings. Such a rare Oracle, he reasoned, must be used as a weapon to expand his territory. So he demoted his shy advisers and kept Nerif around. With Nerif's genius knowledge, he simply stated the results he wanted, and coaxed Nerif into speaking his wish as prophesying.

At first everything was fine. The Last Graven King boasted that by adopting Fate's pet, he created a toy of Fate himself. He then used it as a warning, on the eve of his invasion of the Unsated Satrap kingdom, he tried to force the Oracle to predict his victory, but only heard Nerif quietly mutter, "It could go either way." With his tough request, he could only force Nerif's lips to say those things. However, the king was very confident about his army. The Satrapy region was inland, poorly armed, and blocked from all supply lines. "It could go either way," he said, implying that with tactical strength in his favor, the risk is minimal in this plan.

Of course, now we know that he should go with their word. Even with the careful study of the Annotated Annals, what happened on the field in front of the Unsated Satrap's palace is almost unimaginable. Appearing in the midst of carnage, the battles began to split in half. At each critical moment, reality is created and crumbled. The soldiers, who grew old and fell in battle also stood in the way, trained to advance in battle. Their minds are also distracted, the warriors perceive in themselves the boundary between death and life, existence and non-existence. Victory and defeat were decided, so that each individual outcome was the experience gained by both armies simultaneously. The universe has become a mirror chamber, with all the mirrors constantly vibrating.

The direct effect on both sides is madness. Unable to embrace the state of victory and defeat, King Graven's mind was scattered by the impurity of madness. Satrap is in bad condition. The fact that the opposing factions continue to divide continuously, echoing even into the infinite history, all their inhabitants bewildered as they will soon lose their food, clothing, protection, or livelihood in the traditional way.

Long before that result happens. Cymurri's close advisers captured Nerif, bound and gagged him, and sent him out into their universe at high speed in a spaceship, in hopes of trapping him in what will be forever no harm to them.

Enemies & Allies

Allies

Ember Spirit

• Oracle may not use both skills in Ember's early game. Fortune's End can remove Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and Searing Chains on allies.

• When Ember Spirit is implicated by Fortune's End, Fire Remnants will move at zero speed.

• Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's  Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.

Legion Commander

• Provided that the enemy team does not have an Axe minimap Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.

• Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like  Overwhelming Odds and  Press the Attack with Fortune's End.

Dark Willow

• Fortune's End can easily dispel  Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.

• Due to the spell's lack of control, Fate's Edict can easily neutralize Bedlam's over-time damage. Similarly, he can neutralize the Shadow Realm's magic burst.

• If you're quick enough, Fortune's End can remove the root from Bramble Maze and eradicate the dread effect from Terrorize. Remember that Fortune's End only removes debuffs from your allies on the primary target.

Omniknight

• Oracle can dispel Guardian Angel in an area of effect with Fortune's End..

Rubick

• Oracle's tremendous magical damage output can quickly deplete Rubick's health.

• Oracle's lone good Spell Steal target is False Promise, because he likes to mix and match his spells. This situation can be avoided by shifting queueing Fortune's End and casting it right away because it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if you're out of mana.

• Rubick will struggle against Fortune's End as a position-based hero because to its ludicrous range and long root life.

Ancient Apparition

• False Promise can stop Ice Blast from shattering an ally, while Fate's Edict can protect an ally from magical harm over time.

• Allies who are frostbitten can be denied by Oracle. It will count as a denial if he utilizes Purifying Flames to meet the shatter threshold.

• Fortune's End can protect afflicted teammates from becoming frozen by dispelling Cold Feet.

Silencer

• If cast at the appropriate time with the right targets, Fortune's End can invalidate Arcane Curse, Last Word, and Global Silence.

• Silencer relies on Glaives of Wisdom for a lot of his damage, and Fate's Edict can prevent him from attacking.

Phoenix

• Phoenix does considerable magical damage over time, which Fate's Edict can either dispel or neutralize.

• Phoenix is very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential since he spends some of his health to cast abilities.

Necrophos

• Fortune's End has the ability to remove Ghost Shroud, exposing Necrophos to physical damage. It's also worth mentioning that when Necrophos is in the Ethereal condition, he absorbs more magic damage, making Purifying Flames a potent nuke against him.

• Reaper's Scythe's damage is totally negated by Fate's Edict, whose delayed motion makes it reasonably easy to predict and neutralize.

Dark Seer

• Because Ion Shell is the Dark Seer's greatest intensive farming tool, Fortune's End can destroy it, devastating his economy.

• Surge may be dispelled by Fortune's End, rendering him more susceptible to ganks and fights.

Techies

• Because Techies' talents all deal magical damage, using Fate's Edict as soon as the alert voice from Proximity Mines or Blast Off! is heard can make Oracle or an ally impervious to the burst damage from these abilities.

• Remote Mines may also be mitigated that use the same strategy if timed appropriately.

Skywrath Mage

• Skywrath Mage's massive magic damage can be totally negated by Fate Edict.

• End of Fortune debunks Ancient Seal.

Counters

Anti-Mage

• Due to Counterspell, Oracle has very little damage potential versus Anti-Mage, and he may have some ability damage echoed back at him.

• With Mana Break and Mana Void, Anti-Mage can quickly overpower Oracle.

• Anti-Mage can easily catch Oracle and reap the benefits of his limited mobility thanks to Blink.

Axe

• If an ally's health is low enough, False Promise would not help them avoid Culling Blade.

• Fate's Edict offers nothing to defend Oracle's allies from the preponderance of Axe's damage, whether attack or defense.

Bristleback

• Fortune's End has no effect on Bristleback's Warpath stockpiles or allies' Quill Spray levels.

• Oracle's damage power may be greatly reduced by Bristleback. Oracle could mistakenly heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames while using it, especially if Bristleback has additional magic resistance.

Faceless Void

• Faceless Void can effectively nullify Oracle's burst damage with Time Walk as well as Backtrack.

• Oracle's low-cooldown spells are vulnerable to Time Dilation. Even if Fortune's End could dismiss it, it can still knock Oracle by guard if Fortune's End is on expiration.

Shadow Demon

• Disruption can shield Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, allowing them to keep their healing and buffs. Oracle's allies can also be caught, allowing Shadow Poison and Soul Catcher to be utilized without being destroyed.

• During False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and Urn of Shadows Urn of Shadows, Demonic Purge disables under healing. If he has Aghanim's Scepter, this problem might last a long time or affect numerous allies.

• It won't stop healing from immediate abilities, items, or radiance, therefore Mekansm Mekansm is a good choice against him.

Spectre

• Dispersion is unaffected by Oracle's burst damage.

• Fate's Edict's disarm isn't as crippling for Spectre as it is in other carriers because she can do harm although if she doesn't land strikes.

Items Counter

Black King Bar

Oracle will be unable to use his burst damage and usefulness on an adversary who has a Black King Bar on them. A Black King Bar on an ally also prevents Oracle from using his spells to cure or defend that ally, with the exception of False Promise and Fortune's End.

Orchid Malevolence

Oracle is unable to use any spells, including Fortune's End, that would normally allow him to dispel Orchid Malevolence.

Eul's Scepter of Divinity

A dispelling effect, such as Eul's Scepter of Divinity Eul's Scepter of Divinity, mitigates Orchid's impact.

Hood of Defiance

Hood of Defiance, for example, is a magical resistance item. Glimmer Cape or Hood of Defiance Oracle's damage output will be greatly reduced by the Glimmer Cape.

Manta Style

Manta Style, for example, is a dispelling effect. On foes, Manta Style renders Fortune's End and Fate's Edict worthless.

Scythe of Vyse

Vyse's Scythe Oracle is hexed by Scythe of Vyse, making him much less able to save comrades.

Favorable Matchups

Alchemist

• False Promise, when combined with Chemical Rage, may make it exceedingly tough to kill Alchemist while also protecting him from disables and debuffs.

• Fortune's End may hold foes in the radius of Acid Spray for longer, reducing damage and armor and allowing Alchemist to capture them.

Ancient Apparition

• Purifying Flames heals opponents, while Ice Blast stops them from healing.

• When used with Fortune's End, Cold Feet can easily trigger its stun.

• Oracle's already tremendous magical burst damage is amplified by Ice Vortex.

Death Prophet

• During Exorcism or Spirit Siphon, Fortune's End assists in keeping opponents in place.

• False Promise is an excellent replacement for Eul's Divinity Scepter. Death Prophet may move with Eul's Scepter of Divinity, which also doubles all health earned from Exorcism and Spirit Siphon.

• Because Death Prophet does the majority of her damage through abilities rather than assaults, utilizing Fate's Edict on her has no negative consequences.

Huskar

Oracle can use False Promise to keep Huskar alive when he is near death, letting him to get the most out of Berserker's Blood and making him tough to kill, especially when paired with Purifying Flames.

Io

• Io can use Relocate to relocate an ally who is under the influence of False Promise to the fountain, double the heal.

• Tether, Purifying Flames, and False Promise all provide a massive amount of healing to their friends, allowing them to stay alive.

Legion Commander

• When one of them is initiated on, the Legion Commander and Oracle can support each other. Oracle can save Legion Commander with any ability he requires, whereas she can save Oracle with Press the Attack.

• When Legion uses Duel, Oracle may help in a variety of ways, including disarming the adversary with Fate's Edict, blasting down the enemy with Purifying Flames, and rescuing Legion with False Promise.

Monkey King

• During Wukong's Command, False Promise permits Monkey King to survive longer, retaining its influence.

• Jingu Mastery's healing will be doubled when False Promise is used.

• Monkey King may use Fortune's End to get a long enough root to channel his Primal Spring.

• False Promise causes damage to be delayed, allowing Monkey King to utilize Tree Dance to flee.

• Instead of using Fate's Edict, Monkey King can use Mischief to prevent Purifying Flames' damage, conserving mana and reducing the cooldown.

Shadow Demon

• Shadow Poison accumulates thanks to the root from Fortune's End.

• Oracle can cast Fortune's End with impunity because of the continual dispel of Demonic Purge, which prevents the heal from Purifying Flames.

• Both heroes have ridiculously high magical burst damage and can quickly take out low-health heroes.

Timbersaw

• Fate's Edict has almost no penalty when used on Timbersaw since he depends more on abilities to deliver damage and less on right-clicks.

• Timbersaw may use Reactive Armor in conjunction with False Promise to recover for a substantial length of time, allowing him to stay in the fight for longer.

Game plan

Early Game

You should determine whether you are going to roam or stick to the lane to protect your teammates from the beginning so that you can buy appropriate equipment. With roaming, with the ability to control cast range 850, cancel buffs and tie up for up to 2.5 seconds in the early game, you and your teammates can easily get kills if combined well. 

With protective lane, if your lane teammates are heroes with good damage ability, you and that person can overwhelm the enemy lane or get kills early. However, with a small amount of health, the skill consumes mana and can be squeezed if used incorrectly, do not use it bluff. During the match phase, you always have to follow the Town portal scroll to support your teammates in time.

Mid Game

This is the extremely frequent roam + gank phase when your team's gankers already have enough levels and basic equipment for ganking, and create space for your carry team to farm to the maximum, or go to that lane to help. It pushes the lane, counter gank if the enemy targets your carry team. 

Remember to plug wards, break wards in this phase regularly. Your ultimate is a lifesaving tool and also a tool to start a gank very well with a reasonable amount of mana and not too long cooldown, unless the opponent invests Sentry ward counter you, this skill is annoying. extremely. Fate's Edict for the target is buffed with 100% magic resistance, the other effect is Disarm the object, so this is a skill that hard counters the opponent's nukers, carry, use it sensibly to bring the best effect.

Late Game

This stage you go with your teammates, fully ward, use Smoke of Deceit to gank single targets or start a teamfight by surprise, creating conditions to proceed to destroy the opponent's Ancient or push 1 lane, force the opponent to def turret or have to fight. When your team's carry starts to get stronger, being able to finish off weak enemy targets quickly, this is a golden opportunity for your ultimate to maximize its effectiveness. 

Use Fate's Edict reasonably with the targets that your team is dealing damage with (for example, if your nuker team is injecting dmg into someone's face, don't buff that person, and if the enemy carry team rushes when something is wrong. don't buff its face to prevent it from hitting). To heal in combat, it's best to use the combo Fate's Edict + Purifying flames on tankers, nukers or support because these guys mainly attack with skills, not with hand attacks.
