Arcana
Arcana in Dota 2 is a special type of cosmetic item that significantly changes the appearance of a hero. These are some of the rarest skins in the game.
This item completely reworks the hero's model, adding new animations, effects, voice lines, icons, and sometimes in-game progression — for example, an Arcana may unlock new styles after completing tasks. For more information on cosmetic items, check out our article.
