Show/Hide Tooltips
Has strong but random damage output.
Upon the black steed Armageddon, the Chaos Knight rode into countless battles with a single purpose in mind: To extinguish that which he knows as 'The Light'. Like a roll of unseen dice, the oldest Fundamental stuns his targets with a Chaotic Bolt, and then Strikes with life-stealing attacks that deal highly irregular amounts of damage. Those who escape the initial onslaught find themselves in a Reality Rift, reappearing inexplicably at Armageddon's side, exposed for its rider's wrath. Flanked by several images of himself, the Chaos Knight and his apocalyptic Phantasms hack their opponents apart with the strength of multiple heroes.

Bio[edit]

The light shall be blackened, and chaos shall reign.
▶️  Chaos Knight
Alias:
CK
The veteran of countless battles on a thousand worlds, Chaos Knight hails from a far upstream plane where the fundamental laws of the universe have found sentient expression. Of all the ancient Fundamentals, he is the oldest and most tireless, endlessly searching out a being he knows only as "The Light." Long ago the Light ventured out from the progenitor realm, in defiance of the first covenant. Now Chaos Knight shifts from plane to plane, always on the hunt to extinguish the Light wherever he finds it. A thousand times he has snuffed out the source, and always he slides into another plane to continue his search anew.

Upon his steed Armageddon he rides, wading into battle with maniacal frenzy, drawing strength from the disorder of the universe. A physical manifestation of chaos itself, in times of need he calls upon other versions of himself from other planes, and together these dark horsemen ride into battle, as unstoppable as any force of nature. Only when the last Light of the world is scoured from existence will the search be ended. Where rides the Chaos Knight, death soon follows.

Trivia[edit]

  • Chaos Strike's ability icon bears a similar appearance to a D20 dice, commonly used in table-top RPG games, where a full 20 usually results in a critical.
  • ▶️ "Ah, Tidehunter, can I offer you a seabiscuit?" is a reference to Seabiscuit, a famous American racehorse.
  • Fitting his theme of randomness, Chaos Knight has the most varying attack damage in the game, with a different of 30 between his mininum and maximum attack damage.
  • Chaos Knight's name in DotA was "Nessaj". This was removed in his transition to Dota 2, likely due to the change in his background story.
  • Enigma, Chaos Knight, Keeper of the Light, and Io together represent the four fundamental forces of the universe with Chaos Knight representing the strong interaction, the force that binds quarks to make protons and neutrons. It is also one of the forces present in the detonation of a nuclear bomb, a weapon commonly seen as a tool of widespread death and destruction.
    • Fitting to his theme, the strong force is the most powerful among the four fundamental forces, but its strength is very limited in far distances. Hence his status as a melee strength hero whose role is that of a hard carry. Furthermore, his Reality Rift spell brings an enemy hero into Chaos Knight's effective melee range, just like how the strong force binds quarks together with its strength.
    • The uncertainty principle determines the range of the strong nuclear force. This is the reason why Chaos Knight's abilities and damage are so random.
  • Chaos Knight's default mount's name is Armageddon.
  • One of Chaos Knight's death responses, ▶️ "Armageddon…out of here." may be a reference drawn from the film "Bruce Almighty" where, towards the end of the film the doomsayer (homeless man with handwritten signboard, often with typos) holds a sign "ARMAGEDON OUTA HERE". It works as a cheeky wordplay on "I'mma gettin' out of here"; reflecting on something that doesn't quite cease to be amazing, even while calling for a closure.
