Like her younger sister, Lina's elemental affinity was the source of many headaches. Sent south to live with a patient aunt, she learned to master her Fiery Soul in the blazing Desert of Misrule. Channeling the breath of Desert Wyrms, she unleashes her Dragon Slave to burn a path before her. Attuned to fire, Lina ignites the ground, incinerating foes in a Column of Flame. Even the hardiest of heroes fear the Slayer's signature spell — The Laguna Blade. Supercharging every bit of heat around her, and Cloaking Herself in Flames, Lina fires a condensed bolt of white-hot energy, instantly evaporating her opponent with minimal struggle or effort.

Bio[edit]

Fire makes a fine servant, but a harsh mistress.
▶️  Lina, the Slayer
Alias:
Slayer
The sibling rivalries between Lina the Slayer, and her younger sister Rylai, the Crystal Maiden, were the stuff of legend in the temperate region where they spent their quarrelsome childhoods together. Lina always had the advantage, however, for while Crystal was guileless and naive, Lina's fiery ardor was tempered by cleverness and conniving. The exasperated parents of these incompatible offspring went through half a dozen homesteads, losing one to fire, the next to ice, before they realized life would be simpler if the children were separated. As the oldest, Lina was sent far south to live with a patient aunt in the blazing Desert of Misrule, a climate that proved more than comfortable for the fiery Slayer. Her arrival made quite an impression on the somnolent locals, and more than one would-be suitor scorched his fingers or went away with singed eyebrows, his advances spurned. Lina is proud and confident, and nothing can dampen her flame.

Trivia[edit]

  • Lina is based on Lina Inverse from the light novel series Slayers. This is reflected in her name, title, abilities, as well as her model in Dota 2.
    • Lina's abilities, Light Strike Array, Dragon Slave and Laguna Blade are directly taken from the novel as well.
    • While only being called "Lina, the Slayer" in Dota 2, her full name and title was "Lina Inverse, the Slayer" in DotA. The surname "Inverse" was dropped in Dota 2 for undisclosed reasons, although copyright issues may have been a part of it.
  • Lina is Crystal Maiden's older sister, with both sharing a bitter sibling-rivalry.
    • During the Crownfall event, Crystal Maiden's full name was revealed to be "Rylai Moon", which suggests that Lina's full name is "Lina Moon".
  • ▶️ "Better to burn out than fade away" is a reference to the Neil Young song, "My, My, Hey, Hey".
  • ▶️ "Turn me over... I'm done." is a reference to Lawrence of Rome who was roasted alive on a giant grill and joked, "Turn me over — I'm done on this side".
  • Lina's rival response towards Batrider ▶️ "Why'd you stop? This isn't Batrider country." is a reference to a line in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.[1]
  • Lina's line ▶️ "It's not the heat, it's the humiliation." is a reference to "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." a quote from Yogi Berra.
  • Lina's coils around her neck are possibly a representation of Kayan Lahwi women in Myanmar, who are also referred to as "dragon women".
  • ▶️ "Time to hot-foot it!" is a reference to a prank where the prankster sets the victim's shoelaces or shoe on fire with a match or lighter. The hot foot prank is mentioned in several baseball stories as a prank that players play on one another.
