Deso
Deso is the shortened name for the artifact Desolator in Dota 2. This item was named "Stygian Desolator" in Dota, a reference to an item from Anarchy Online. This name is now used by an upgraded version of the Desolator, which drops as a neutral item.
This item significantly increases the hero's physical damage with a +50 damage bonus and a passive effect that reduces enemies' armor after each attack. Thanks to this, Desolator effectively increases damage to enemies and structures, making it one of the key items for carries focused on fast and powerful physical damage.
