Elder Titan — hero grid for mains

The in-game name is Elder Titan — the same in the English and the Russian client. Short names for Elder Titan you will see in chat: “et”. Russian-speaking players say “Элдер Титан” (or “элдер” and “титан”).

The hero's line in Valve's list reads: “Damages and disables with his astral spirit”.

In the editor's hero picker, typing “Elder Titan” or “Элдер Титан” or “et” brings up Elder Titan.

Elder Titan is a Strength hero (36 of them in the game), melee, complexity 2 of 3 by Valve's rating.

Role dots from Valve: Initiator ●●○, Nuker ●○○, Disabler ●○○, Durable ●○○ — no role at the full three.

In the ready layouts that means the “STRENGTH” (28th of 36) block of By attributes and the “MEDIUM” (12th of 59) band of By complexity.

Elder Titan is played in two positions — hard support (5) and soft support (4) — like 38 other heroes with two scores of 0.5 or more; the main one is hard support. All five scores (best = 1): carry 0.01 · mid 0.11 · offlane 0.21 · soft support 0.99 · hard support 1 — which is why the editor's Auto-pick places Elder Titan in the “5 · HARD SUPPORT” and “4 · SUPPORT” rows and nowhere else.

Lanes over 171 parsed OpenDota matches as of 23 Sept 2026: safe 42%, mid 11%, off 47%. Median GPM 374, XPM 582 — between support (360) and core (540), a supportness of 0.82 by the site's formula. There are few matches with parsed lanes for Elder Titan, so the positions are rough.

Elder Titan is not in Classic: positions 1–5, which holds the 18 most popular heroes per position, but each row fits 20 portraits — add Elder Titan to the “5 · HARD SUPPORT” row with “+ Hero” and the portraits keep their size.

Other ready grids with Elder Titan: not in Meta by stats (ten heroes per position); not in Two columns (44 cores and 44 supports).

For a main, the handiest layout is Mains + situational: the button above puts Elder Titan first in MAINS with the biggest portraits, next to Clockwerk, Tusk and Undying: all three share the same main position (hard support), the same attribute and melee attack.
