Trivia

  • Sohei is a warrior monk, a profession.
  • Sohei was used to be Ronin. This however, has some controversy when talked to the community because Ronin sounds like another Roshan's relative.
    • Also, it contradicts with the first idea where Sohei was supposed to be using bare hands instead of Naginata that Sohei has.
  • Dash was supposed to have vector targeting. However, the developer claims that the codes to enable vector targeting is not provided by steam workshop. Making the new one could delay the hero to years.
  • Sohei is made for this custom game, it is confirmed that this hero will appear in Dota IMBA, another custom game in Dota.
  • Sohei is made from various heroes, the weapon smash from earth spirit, body from juggernaut, some sound effect from ember spirit.
  • Wholeness of Body replaces Guard because the devs stated it's ridiculous to have that much escapes, while the community had the same thought the first time it released.
    • Guard hard dispels you, reflects projectiles and skills for 2 seconds. Can be used while stunned but consumes 2 charges of dash.
