In the game of Dota 2, you can slay your enemies stylishly with various skins and taunts. The level of swag is unmatchable when you solo kill the enemy mid-laner with your Shadow Fiend Arcana! However, there is one niche of skins that the new players may not even be aware of; the forgotten HUDs. Once the rage in the game, HUDs seem to be gone with the wind. We aim to bring the HUDs back into the spotlight by featuring the Best 10 HUD Skins that look great.
10. Cruel Diretide
Inspired by the Diretide event, the Cruel Diretide was one of the first HUDs to be added to the game. Featuring a black and red theme, it is a certified classic HUD; you may have it too if you’ve been an active part of the Dota community since 2013!
9. Sands of Luxor
Released as a part of the Dota2VO Ability Cup 1 tournament, Sands of Luxor was a breath of fresh air in the sea (or rather desert, ha!) of monochromatic HUDs. With a desert theme, this HUD easily stands out from the others in terms of glance value.
8. Royal Crypt
The regal Royal Crypt HUD was released along with the Dota2.ru Cup 1 Bundle. The aesthetics of this HUD are similar to the gates of a spooky yet lavish and abandoned mansion.
7. Stone Ruin
Stone Ruin HUD was a groundbreaking HUD, as it was inspired by the aesthetic of Chaos Knight, one of the early HUDs to be inspired by heroes. It featured a unique color scheme and texture.
6. Alliance HUD
Not all HUDs are based on a professional team, and neither do they have two selectable styles. However, Alliance defied the norms, as they were one of the earliest teams to have their HUDs featured in the game, featuring a normal and rainy style. Grab this HUD if you’re an Alliance fan!
5. Surge
The Surge HUD was created as a part of the Electronic Sports Prime Shock Therapy Cup. The aesthetics of this HUD were styled to match Razor, offering an electric blue color scheme that is highly catchy and unique.
4. Valor
The Valor HUD offers a fresh design and color palette, which can remind one of a fancy restaurant or a similar theme. The golden and silver color palettes blend well to provide a luxury experience.
3. Portal
A collaboration between Valve’s own Portal game series and Dota, the Portal HUD lives up to the expectations. It is a part of the Portal pack, featuring the classic elements from the game in Dota! You can’t miss out on this HUD if you are a Valve fan.
2. Underwater
The Underwriter HUD takes you on a scuba diving experience, featuring an aquatic theme. With rising tides, a dark blue theme and a starfish as a cherry on top, this HUD is a treat if you like the aqua theme.

1. The Summit 3 HUD
Released as a part of the Summit 3 tournament, the eponymous HUD is a chilling experience, to say the least! It features elements of snow and two frosty birds to keep you company. The color scheme is excellent and is one of the few HUDs that pay such attention to detail.
