Tips and Tricks
Doom’s poor basic armor and lack of agility, which make him susceptible to physical damage while being a strength hero, are one of his biggest vulnerabilities. This lowers the possibility for him to deal physical damage.
Doom is a skilled farmer who can easily obtain the gold needed to buy a variety of powerful core items to mitigate his vulnerabilities thanks to Devour. This ability also enables him to diversify and take on a variety of jobs depending on what his team needs in terms of roles, gold, and experience.
Doom’s Ability
DEVOUR
Consumes an enemy or neutral creep, taking on any special skills it may have had and momentarily gaining armor while doing so. Doom won’t pick up the creep’s skills if alt-cast is disabled. Equal to the cooldown in duration.
SCORCHED EARTH
His local area is covered in flames that harm his adversaries and speed up his movement.
INFERNAL BLADE
Doom ignites the opposition as he swings his blazing sword. The burn lasts for four seconds and stuns the victim for 0.6 seconds while dealing base damage + a percentage of the target’s maximum health in damage per second.
DOOM
Casts a curse on an enemy Hero, dispelling them and preventing them from using magic or other forms of healing while they suffer damage over time.
