Trivia[edit]
- Marci first debuted in the Dota: Dragon's Blood series and her appearance was designed in cooperation with Studio Mir, the producing studio behind the series.
- Within the internal game files, Marci's abilities are named differently:
- The symbol featured on her Sidekick spell resembles the one emblazoned on the Invoker's Cape of the Dark Magic. It's unknown what this similarity signifies.
- Marci performs a judo throw known as a tomoe-nage in one of the two animations of her Dispose ability.
