Tips and Tricks
Abaddon is noted for his versatile spells that may control the amount of damage the opposition can deliver to his side and use it against them. As a result, Abaddon not only has the ability to defend and heal his allies but also has the offensive capacity to deliver harm to foes.
Depending on what his team needs, Abaddon can be used as a support or a durable player because to his diverse ability set. He has the option of building his skill set more offensively to increase his own damage output or defensively to safeguard allies from danger.
Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time allow Abaddon to fight longer and stay alive longer, therefore he should build aura items to help his teammates.
Abaddon is frequently used as a safe lane support due to the exceptional team survival that his abilities offer. Being a melee hero limits his ability to harass the opponent offlaner, hence his purpose in the safe lane is to control lane stability by dragging creep waves.
Abaddon’s Ability
MIST COIL
Abaddon exhales a coil of deathly mist that, at the expense of some of Abaddon’s health, can either harm an enemy unit or heal a friendly unit.
APHOTIC SHIELD
summons dark energies to surround an ally unit, forming a shield that takes damage for a predetermined period of time before wearing off. When the shield is damaged, it will burst, doing damage to the surrounding area equivalent to what it might have been absorbed. removes specific on-cast negative buffs and stuns.
CURSE OF AVERNUS
When Abaddon attacks an adversary, the target’s speed of movement is slowed. A chilling curse that silences and slows the target and increases the attack speed of all strikes made against them takes effect if the target is struck four times.
BORROWED TIME
When triggered, all damage that is done to you will heal you rather than hurt you. Most detrimental bonuses will be eliminated as well. When your health drops to less than 400, the ability will immediately go into effect if it is not on cooldown.
CURSE OF AVERNUS – SHARD ABILITY UPGRADE
Causes opponents to receive a stack of the Curse of Avernus thanks to Mist Coil and Aphotic Shield. Base slow is increased by 10%. reduces the Aphotic Shield and Mist Coil cooldown by one second.
BORROWED TIME – SCEPTER ABILITY UPGRADE
lengthens the time. Every time an ally receives more than 525 damage while within 1600 range of Abaddon while Borrowed Time is active, a single Mist Coil will automatically fire at that ally.
