There are many types of skins available and below you will know about the most popular types that exist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Equipment is the unique set of items developed for each hero separately. That means that once you buy an item for Magnus, you cannot use those for Juggernaut and vice versa. There are two characteristics for equipment you should consider &#8211; rarity and quality. The higher the rating within any of the characteristics, the better the item is, and the more customized it can be.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6559\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6559\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?resize=1280%2C720\" alt=\"Dota 2\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/01.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dota 2<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Couriers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you remember that in classic Dota you had to buy courier and you could change their appearance?
