Item rankings

How to read the Dota 2 item ranking

Kevin · Dota2Arena · updated Oct 28, 2026 · numbers from our scanner

The ranking lists 208 items with at least 20,000 games in 2.1M ranked all-pick matches. Divine Rapier is on top with 86.6%, Diadem is last with 14.2%. The number behind every rank is simple: of all players who ended a game with the item, how many won.

Remember

Only the final inventory and the neutral slot count. Items that were sold, consumed or upgraded during the game do not.
Expensive items sit high because they are finished in games that are already going well. Components sit low because they are still in the inventory when a game is lost early.
So a high rank means "found in winning inventories", not "buy this". Compare items of a similar price and purpose with the filters above.

Popular or rare: the four corners of the chart

The chart puts every ranked item on two scales: how often it shows up in a match and how often its owner wins. The lines split it at 50 % win rate and at the median share of matches. Top right are the meta staples, led by Aghanim's Scepter (94% of matches, 58.4% win rate). Top left are the hidden gems: items that few players finish but that win often, such as Divine Rapier (3.6% of matches, 86.6%). The bottom half holds items that are mostly left in inventories of lost games, many of them early purchases that were never replaced.

Early, mid and late: why long games pull win rates down

The early, mid and late columns split every item's games by match length: under 25 minutes, 25 to 40 minutes and over 40 minutes. For 45 of 46 finished items (2,000 gold and up, nothing builds out of them) the win rate is lower in long games than in short ones. Finishing a big item before 25 minutes usually means a team is ahead, while in games over 40 minutes both sides own their items. The interesting part is how much an item drops.

Holds up best in long games	Early	Late	Change
Hand of Midas	40.9%	45.5%	+4.6 pp
Battle Fury	54.4%	51.5%	−3.0 pp
Blade Mail	57.8%	48.7%	−9.1 pp
Divine Rapier	94.9%	85.5%	−9.4 pp
Glimmer Cape	65.7%	50.1%	−15.5 pp

Drops the most in long games	Early	Late	Change
Helm of the Overlord	89.0%	46.6%	−42.4 pp
Butterfly	97.1%	58.1%	−39.0 pp
Monkey King Bar	91.4%	52.7%	−38.8 pp
Daedalus	94.1%	55.5%	−38.6 pp
Hurricane Pike	88.9%	50.4%	−38.5 pp

Frequently asked questions

What is the best item in Dota 2 right now?

By win rate, Divine Rapier leads our ranking at 86.6% across 90,534 games. That makes it the item that most often sits in a winning inventory, not automatically the item you should buy: luxury items are bought by players who are already ahead. Compare items of a similar price with the price filter for the useful answer.

Why do some items have win rates over 80 %?

The ranking counts the inventory at the end of the game. Very expensive or situational items are mostly finished in games that are already won, and some are only picked up when a fight is decided, so their win rate tells you more about the game state than about the item.

How many games does an item need to be ranked?

At least 20,000 games with the item in the final inventory or the neutral slot. Items below that are left out so a few lucky games cannot put an item at the top.

Where do the numbers come from?
