DOTA Guide: Lord of Avernus Abaddon

DOTA Guide: Abaddon - The Lorrd of Avernus
by MaxQ

A great DOTA hero he was my first hero with whom i could put fear in any other enemy hero, when they saw me they just ran always. I will tell you why they ran like little roaches. Aba is a strength hero but very fast and versatile so it's one to fear on the field. I always laugh when i see them running away. You can play different play stiles with this one you can either go on strength/agility/intelligence its our choice but i tell you this you will need MANA for sure whichever you choose.

The spell they fear, the spell that deal damage, the spell you should use is Aphotic Shield (T) Summons dark energies around an ally unit, creating a shield that absorbs a set amount of damage before expiring. When the shield is destroyed it will deal damage equal to the amount it absorbed to an area around it. If cast on self while using borrowed time, the damage you take will heal you. Removes certain types of negative buffs on cast. Lasts 20 seconds. At lvl 4 this will absorb and deal 275 damage in an area around itself, it costs 100 mana to cast and has 25 seconds cooldown. LVL this up fast.

VERY IMPORTANT USE THE SHIELD ALWAYS ON DOTA CREEPS only use it on yourself or your friendly heroes when needed. Creeps will be front line of battle and will absorb more damage in a lower time so you need the shield on the creeps at all times. When the enemy sees the shield he will retreat every time.

Death Coil (C) A coil of death that can damage an enemy unit or heal a friendly unit at the cost of his own life. Manacost decreases per level. This will heal or damage for 250 HP. Deals 125 HP to himself. This spell i always let to the endgame and lvl it up as last. I barely use it ever it wont do much healing or damage so you should leave this aside.

Frostmourne Abaddon strikes an enemy with Frostmourne' s chilling power on each attack, causing all units who attack the slowed enemy to gain 10% increased movement speed, along with faster attack speed, for a limited time. This is a passive spell and is very useful you can lvl this up alongside with the shield. You will slow the enemy and attack faster very good. At lvl 4 you will have 40% increased attack speed, and slow enemy by 20%. hahaha

Your ultimate spell Borrowed Time When activated, most negative buffs will be removed and you will no longer take damage for the duration of the ability. If the ability is not in cooldown, it will passively activate when your hit points drop below 400. This spell is good when you don't seem to have any more chance, no where to run, when it activates you can run fast and away, and when activated put shield on yourself that way the damage you take will actually heal you.

You can buy either strength intelligence and agility combinations, it depends on your play stile. Thanks for joining me, for the latest DOTA Allstars and DOTA Strategy Guide
