Most-bought items for Visage in OpenDota’s sample of parsed public matches (1,321 purchases counted). Bars compare each item with the most-bought one in its phase. The percentage is the win rate in games where Visage bought the item by minute 30 (green or red when it is clearly above or below Visage’s average). Teams that are ahead buy items sooner, so a high number shows the item goes with winning games, not that it causes the win. Items with fewer than 100 games show no percentage. Cheap components are hidden from the mid and late game.

Visage generates a layered barrier that protects him from damage. If he receives damage from a player, one layer is removed, and takes time to recover. Visage's Familiars are protected by his cloak when within 900 range of him, based on the number of layers Visage has.

Perched atop the entrance to the Narrow Maze sit the looming shapes of sneering gargoyles, the paths into the hereafter forever in their gaze. Beasts and birds, men and monsters, all creatures that die and choose to travel beyond must someday pass beneath their sight. For an untethered spirit, the decision to journey through the veil of death is irrevocable. When chance comes, and by craft or cunning some restless soul escapes their hells and heavens, it is the dreaded gargoyle Visage, the bound form of the eternal spirit Necro'lic, who is dispatched to reclaim them. Ruthless and efficient, unhindered by the principles of death and fatigue, Visage stalks its prey without mercy or end, willingly destroying all which may give shelter to the fugitive essence. That which flaunts the laws of the afterlife may never rest, for while it is true that the dead may be revived, it is only a matter of time before Visage finds and returns them to their proper place.
