The International 2017 Battle Pass: Path of the Navigator
By Neon-
The International 2017 Battle Pass is a tournament pass and features bundle made for The International 2017. It is similar to past compendiums and contains numerous quests, achievements, and earnable rewards for its owner. Owners of the Battle Pass will have access to Siltbreaker, an exclusive multiplayer campaign. 25% of the proceeds obtained from this Battle Pass will go towards the tournament prize pool.

Path of the Navigator is more of a support oriented quest line which grants the Shoreline Sapper set (Ogre Magi) and the style upgrade if players finish all the quests in three star difficulty. Let us take a look at each quest and find out a suitable hero for it.

@iDD - Well i'm gonna try Silencer and if i'm done with it i will post the build about it.
LitDD 29 May, 2017 @ 7:07am 
I actually tried as Silencer and couldn't reach 3 stars so I went with enchantress, seems easier, hehe.

@iDD & @PS-Triple - Thank you for your suggestion, will add Enigma and Enchantress to the list.

@Princeps - Thank you for your suggestion, will add Bane to the list.

Note - Silencer also works fine...

As PS-Triple mentioned, Enigma is a good hero for "Dry Powder", and I also would like to suggest another hero for the same quest, which is Enchantress.

No mention to Enimga for dry powder? It's super easy to get if you just land two or three Black Holes.
