Dota 2 Rarity Tiers
Every Dota 2 cosmetic carries a rarity, from Common up to Arcana. Rarity sets the tier and prestige of an item — but real value also depends on the hero, the style and how many copies trade. Pick a tier to browse it.

- LegendaryPremium sets and effects; demand tracks hero popularity.
- ImmortalTreasure / Battle Pass items, often with effects, gems and unlockable styles.
- ArcanaThe flagship tier — new models, animations, icons and sounds for one hero.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Dota 2 rarity tiers?
From most common to rarest: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Mythical, Legendary, Immortal and Arcana, plus the Seasonal label used for event items. Arcana is the flagship cosmetic tier.
What is the rarest Dota 2 rarity?
Arcana sits at the top of the cosmetic ladder — a full visual overhaul (new model, animations, icons and sounds) for a single hero. Immortals, often from treasures and Battle Passes, sit just below.
Does rarity determine an item's price?
No. Rarity is a quality label, not a price tag. Value comes from demand, supply and hero popularity, so a Mythical set for a popular hero can easily outprice a rarer item.

Each tier has its own colour so you can identify it at a glance. The colours are purely labels for the tier — they signal prestige, not market value.
