Medusa

So you just randomed Medusa and you only have sixty seconds to learn how to play Medusa. What will you do? Never fear: this is DotA in :60.

Medusa is a woman in desperate need of a spa day.

To bring her down from the edge of insanity, she has four magical powers. Let's start with "Split Ends" -- a parting shot that teaches groups of enemies the importance of conditioning.

On the road to nirvana, "Balance the Scales" sends forth a magical reptile that increases damage output as it visits more and more of your dysfunctional neighbors.

"Ohm" soaks up damage with your mana pool -- allowing Medusa to gracefully achieve a yummy kind of oneness.

Ulti-time! When the stress of life starts to get you down -- put in a "Zen Garden".

Whaaassssuuuppp!

With "Split Ends" you can share your pain with your support group, with "Balance the Scales" you can make a new you by shedding some skin, with "Ohm" you can shrug off vicious rumors from the gossip mill, and with "Zen Garden" you can stand in the mirror and tell yourself, "You know what, honey? You rock!"

So what about items?

She's a tanky hard carry -- nab some armor.

She's a snake in the grass -- think crit boost!

Linken's Sphere and Phase Boots are the most popular, but if you want my advice, Butterfly, Daedalus, or both will help your problems simply melt away.

Oh, and if you can snag a rapier -- we call that "Rock and Roll".

Thanks for watching this video, good luck in your match, max serpent first, slippers make you relax!
