Definitively Minotaur is one of the best tanks in all the game; he is not only easy to use, but he is also very resistant and powerful enough to even tremble the entire enemy team on his own!
Minotaur has many capabilities that can turn the course of the battle when used properly. With his healing ability and great durability, he can be like a wall between the enemy team and your allies, protecting them in the most critical moments.
Minotaur can also act like an Initiator due to his strong crowd control skills, which makes him even more valuable during team fights.
In order to get the most from this great tank, study this guide carefully, and follow our ultimate advice.

Rage Mode (Passive)
Each time Minotaur uses a basic attack, skill, or receive some damage, he recovers “Rage of Minotaur”; when the Rage Bar reaches the maximum, he will enter into Rage State.

In Rage State, the jump becomes larger and deals with an extra Physical Attack equivalent to 1.5% of the target’s Max HP. It has a cooldown of 7.2s.
Motivation Roar (Active)
Minotaur emits a roar, motivating himself and surrounding allies. This roar regenerates 260 points HP and an extra healing effect based on the amount of damage he has taken. Within the next 2 secs, Minotaur recovers Rage if he receives basic attacks.
In Rage State, Minotaur obtains the Rage Regen effect for 2 secs and recovers some HP when it receives basic attacks. It has a cooldown of 10.8s.
Minoan Fury (Ultimate)
Minotaur enters a state when he recovers Rage continuously. The more the skill is charged, the more Rage he’ll recover.

Tips For Using Minotaur
Try to be always alert about your Rage meter because that’s the key to be successful when playing with Minotaur. If you’re thinking about engaging in a fight, be sure you have enough level of Rage to use at the right time.
The best moment to use your Ultimate is during team fights, but check out you are being accompanied by a Marksman or Assassin to get the maximum benefit from the crowd control this skill can bring if you can use your Ultimate while in Rage State, much better.
Spam your skills as much as you can, remember that Minotaur is not a Mana dependent hero. When you are accompanying your team, try to use Motivation Roar constantly to recover HP for your allies. Always think about protecting them, that’s your role!
