Spirit Breaker — hero grid for mains

Spirit Breaker is what the game calls the hero in every client; Russian-speaking players say “Спирит Брейкер” (or “бара” and “барат”). In chat Spirit Breaker also goes by “sb”.

The hero's line in Valve's list reads: “Charges down enemies from anywhere on the map”.

Search in the hero picker is forgiving: “Spirit Breaker”, “Спирит Брейкер”, “sb” — each of them lands on Spirit Breaker.

Spirit Breaker: Strength attribute, shared with 35 other heroes; melee attack; Valve rates the complexity easy, 1 of 3, one of the 55 easiest heroes.

Valve's roles for Spirit Breaker, rated 1 to 3: Disabler ●●○, Durable ●●○, Initiator ●●○, Carry ●○○, Escape ●○○; none reaches the full three dots.

By attributes puts Spirit Breaker in the “STRENGTH” (17th of 36) block; By complexity — in the “EASY” (43rd of 55) band. Spirit Breaker is also in Beginner: easy heroes — column “4 · SUPPORT”, 1st of 7.

Two positions for Spirit Breaker: soft support (4) first, offlane (3) second, both with a score of 0.5 or more (1 and 0.60). The site's position scores (best = 1) are carry 0.03 · mid 0.11 · offlane 0.60 · soft support 1 · hard support 0.17, so Pick by stats puts the hero into the “4 · SUPPORT” and “3 · OFFLANE” rows only.

Lanes over 2,322 parsed OpenDota matches as of 23 Sept 2026: safe 10%, mid 10%, off 79%. Median GPM 387, XPM 635 — between support (360) and core (540), a supportness of 0.64 by the site's formula.

The positions layout is ready-made: Classic: positions 1–5 puts Spirit Breaker in “3 · OFFLANE” (5th of 18). The rows are filled in turn, carry to hard support, each with the 18 most popular heroes of that position not placed above — that is how Spirit Breaker ends up there; by the highest score, add the hero to “4 · SUPPORT” as well — it has two free slots.

Spirit Breaker in other layouts: Meta by stats — “OFFLANE”, 5th of 10; Two columns — “CORES”, 35th of 44.

The “Make a grid with Spirit Breaker” button opens Mains + situational with Spirit Breaker first in the MAINS block, followed by Underlord, Pudge and Earthshaker — all three share the same main position (soft support), the same attribute and melee attack.

Spirit Breaker has 699,606 games in the OpenDota snapshot of 23 Sept 2026, Herald to Divine — 12th of 127 by games played — and a 52.3% win rate, 15th of 127.

Rank barely changes the picture: 52.2% at Herald–Crusader and 52.6% at Ancient–Divine. Spirit Breaker's share of games is 2% above its average at Herald and 1% below at Divine.

Spirit Breaker in the snapshot's pro matches: 14 picks, 6 wins, 3 bans. Turbo: 414,701 games at 48.7%, worse than in ranked brackets.

Main in a skin covers arcanas and personas only, and Spirit Breaker has none there yet; to draw the hero anyway, upload any art to Picture to dots. Among the heroes with skins that are also played as soft support, the closest to Spirit Breaker are Pudge, Earthshaker and Mirana — their dot drawings are ready for a soft support grid.
