Drow Ranger Gust Animation

[Cedo]

Hi. Newbie question. I sometimes see on some youtube clips that DR's gust is a bit dark rather than white? Anyone know how this works? Also the tornado of invoker is a bit purple? rather than theusual white. Please enlighten me. Thanks!

Cosmetics can change looks of certain heroes spells. U can Check that out in loadout. Most of the heroes nowdays have comsetics that change look of their spells and spell bars. Most of that items are expensive but there are few that are cheap. Hope I help u out! Cheers.

THANKS MAN!! I thought it was the algid bow with some of those you insert? I dont really get how the cosmetics work in dota2. Like infused, cursed, etc.

Pretty sure cosmetics dont affect the skill itself. Just the animation, skill slot.

If you want cosmetics that affect skill animations, filter for arcanas and immortals.
Arcanas are fixed at around $35 in price as it's the price from Valve store. While immortals are from immortal chests and can vary from very cheap to very expensive. There are few mythical items that alter animations as well.

Also legendary items like Earthshaker's magma totem.

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot about them.
As Lady Mint said, few legendary weapons from the sets created in partnership of a certain team, (I don't know about the history behind) provides skill customization as well like the mentioned ES totem, Abaddon's Blade of Demoic Vessel, etc.
There's also kinetic gems that offer customization, but both legendary items and kinetic gems are no longer continued to be produced (based on my observation).
I think Valve is trying to make it simple and just keep skill customization of cosmetics they produce to just Arcana and Immortals
Mythical items are created by workshop artists. I don't know if everyone have the ability to craft skill customization on their own with the provided tools, but only few mythical items include skill customization with them.
