Stat Impact

What Headhunter actually gives you

Headhunter delivers 5% weapon damage, 50 bonus health, and 1.75m m move speed. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Headhunter

Headhunter performs strongest on Dynamo (56.5% WR across 391,557 games), Ivy (52.9% WR across 104,932 games), and Haze (52.9% WR across 12,420 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides.
