How does Hero Atlas work in Dota 2 x Monster Hunter collaboration and how to progress?

The Hero Atlas is similar to how Field Guides work in Monster Hunter. In the latter, you note down the monsters you encounter and defeat, noting down different details regarding the creature, like possible item drops, weaknesses, and more.

In Dota 2, the Hero Atlas is available for each hero in the game. You will need to unlock each by winning a match with that hero. Each hero's entry will show the materials they drop, a sticker, statistics, and Field Notes. Once you have unlocked an entry, you can then further progress for that specific hero by playing in Dota 2 matches with that hero on either team.

Progression happens in the following manner:

• Win: 34%
• Loss: 11%
• Hero you play: 3x Bonus
• Turbo games: 60% Progress

If you are looking to complete the Hero Atlas, you can also consider finishing the in-game Dota 2 All-Hero Challenge (if you have not finished it already).
