Undying — hero grid for mains

The in-game name is Undying — the same in the English and the Russian client. The site's dictionary has no English nickname for Undying — people just type the name. Russian-speaking players say “Андаинг” (or “зомби”, “андайинг” and “андинг”).

Valve sums the hero up in one line: “Summons hordes of zombies to attack his foes”.

In the editor's hero picker, typing “Undying” or “Андаинг” brings up Undying.

A melee Strength hero — one of 36 — Undying gets 1 of 3 on Valve's complexity scale, one of the 55 easiest heroes.

Valve's roles for Undying, rated 1 to 3: Support ●●○, Durable ●●○, Nuker ●○○, Disabler ●○○; none reaches the full three dots.

By attributes puts Undying in the “STRENGTH” (23rd of 36) block; By complexity — in the “EASY” (47th of 55) band. Undying is also in Beginner: easy heroes — column “5 · HARD SUPPORT”, 7th of 12.

Two positions for Undying: hard support (5) first, soft support (4) second, both with a score of 0.5 or more (1 and 0.63). The site's position scores (best = 1) are carry 0 · mid 0.02 · offlane 0.09 · soft support 0.63 · hard support 1, so Pick by stats puts the hero into the “5 · HARD SUPPORT” and “4 · SUPPORT” rows only.

Where the scores come from: in 3,227 parsed OpenDota matches (data as of 23 Sept 2026) Undying went safe lane 57% of the time, mid 3% and offlane 40%. Median gold per minute is 394 — between support (360) and core (540), a supportness of 0.86 by the site's formula; experience per minute is 601.

The positions layout is ready-made: Classic: positions 1–5 puts Undying in “4 · SUPPORT” (9th 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 Undying ends up there; by the highest score, add the hero to “5 · HARD SUPPORT” as well — it has two free slots.

Other ready grids with Undying: not in Meta by stats (ten heroes per position); Two columns — “SUPPORTS”, 7th of 44.

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

In the OpenDota snapshot of 23 Sept 2026 Undying shows up in 583,708 games (21st most played of 127) and wins 49.7% of them (65th).

Rank barely changes the picture: 50.4% at Herald–Crusader and 48.6% at Ancient–Divine. Undying's share of games is 3% above its average at Legend and 19% below at Herald.

Undying in the snapshot's pro matches: 23 picks, 10 wins, 7 bans. Turbo: 201,842 games at 49.2%, about the same as in ranked brackets.

For a grid with an Undying portrait, bring your own art: Picture to dots draws it in dots right on the field. Among the heroes with skins that are also played as hard support, the closest to Undying are Ogre Magi, Vengeful Spirit and Pudge — their dot drawings are ready for a hard support grid.
