Neutral items are a significant part of your Hero’s build in Dota 2. While RNG used to play a big part in getting your desired Neutral Item before, Patch 7.38 has mitigated much of the uncertainty. Now they are made up of two components—Artifacts and Enhancements.
Artifact is the ability part of the Neutral item, which can be active, passive, or both. Enchantment, on the other hand, is the stat/attribute bonus part. Based on what your hero “truly needs” in a particular scenario, you can mix and match any Artifact with any Enchantment to craft your personalized Neutral Item.
Here is a breakdown of all the Neutral Artifacts and Enchantments currently in Dota 2.
All Neutral Artifacts in Dota 2
When crafting for each tier, you will have a choice of four Artifacts and four Enchantments and be able to choose one of each. Artifacts will provide three options from the current tier and the last option will be to keep the current Artifact (except in Tier One where you will get four random options).
Enchantments will provide four options from the current tier with no option to keep the current one. Provided a particular Enchantment is available across multiple tiers, you can potentially get the same Enchantment multiple tiers in a row.
