Dota – What does the green diamond beneath the character mean

The number in rounded brackets is the cost of recipe that is needed to craft the item.

For example, the total cost of Shadow Blade is 3300 (not 3000), split in:

• Claymore: 1400
• Quarterstaff: 900
• Shadow Blade recipe: 1000

If an item does not need a recipe to be crafted the Wiki shows only a number.

If an Ultimate is "Scepter Upgradable", that means purchasing the Aghanim's Scepter item will enhance your hero's ultimate. Usually there is a damage increase, cooldown decrease, and/or mana cost decrease, although some heroes have additional enhancements (i.e. Tiny with a scepter will wield a tree that enhances his Toss damage and gives him cleave damage for his regular attacks).

Aghanim's can be assembled with a Point Booster (you can get this at the Secret Shop), a Blade of Alacrity, an Ogre Axe, and a Wizard Staff.

Total Cost: 4200

While there is a limited amount of heroes whose Ultimates are enhanced by Aghanim's, IceFrog has previously stated that he wishes to implement scepter upgrades for all heroes.
