Tips and Tricks
Underlord has a limited supply of mana. Make wise use of his skills.
Underlord focuses in area denial, zoning adversaries out in teamfights, because to the lengthy durations on Firestorm and Pit of Malice.
To make the most of Atrophy Aura, Underlord should be close to his team and be present during every battle.
Underlord’s Ability
FIRESTORM
Sends down a series of fire waves that harm enemy troops nearby while doing more damage over time.
PIT OF MALICE
Any unit that enters the lethal pit at the target area will become rooted. Every 3.6 seconds, every enemy unit in the pit is afflicted.
ATROPHY AURA
Enemy units nearby suffer a reduction in base damage, which weakens them. Underlord receives temporary extra damage whenever an enemy dies while under the influence of this effect.
FIEND’S GATE
Opens two portals: one close to the Underlord and one at the intended target. Heroes can teleport to the other side by channeling a portal for 3.5 seconds. Allies who pass through the portal momentarily increase their movement speed and damage resistance. A distance of at least 2000.0 must separate two portals.
To teleport to the base of your team in front of your fountain, double-click.
