Desite my very low age so I might suck at making guides because i dont play that much and this is my first guide so its very hard for me. Ill be putting pictures soon. I OWN WITH ABBADON. If you want to play DotA with me, Im active in philippine dota rooms, most of the time when im not grounded or something. I go by the user name unholysurge and in the dota game, i go with the name checkmate.

Introduction:
Abbadon is a very strong supporter and maybe a good carry hero or a hybrid of everything from tank to carry to DPS. He is one of the hardest heroes to kill and if he falls to a good player, he can be very scary.

Stats, Advanced Statistics, Story and Skills
Go to Abbadon's Hero Page in www.playdota.com/heroes/12

Item Build
I get a mix of items so it is scattered and messy. You'll decide which one will suit you best because you decide how to build him.

Armlet of Mordiggian
The extra attack speed, damage and life is no joke to laugh at, it gives you all your needs to build him a tank,DPS and carry.

Bracer
This is a no-brainer, gives you survivability and damage.

Assault Cuirass
Gives you attack speed and armor, and it also decreases the armor of enemies so it can give you supporting ability.

Aghanims Scepter
Makes your ulti stronger by making it longer so that means you're absorbing damage for about 7 seconds. It also gives you a mini ulti orb.

Hood of Defiance
Gives you regen and armor, it also gives you magic reduction so youre gonna be almost immune(not really...) to magic

Khadgar's Pipe of Insight
You can upgrade your HoD if you have.

Mask of Madness
You wont need to be scared becuase you have very strong survival abilities so just whack em like you want, but dont if you know you cant win

Heart of Tarrasque
Duh.

Vlladmirs Offering
Gives you lewt if youre planning on getting a orb effect thats not lifesteal, but if you already have, i suggest you dont buy this.

Battle Fury
Gives you a cleave that can be good if paired with aphotic shield

Sange and Yasha
You can have slow and more attack speed and movespeed

Satanic
Gives you intense lewt if activated, 150%!

Phase Boots
Gives you damage, armor and the power to chase more efficently

Power Threads
Gives you all the basic needs


Skill Build
You can go Aphotic and Frost Mourne for early domination or Aphotic and Death Coil for 1v1 situations or get a hybrid (I dont know what im saying...) of all.

My Build
This is my usual build, it gives you early domination to raise your level and harrass the enemy hero
1.Aphotic Shield
2.Frostmourne
3.Aphotic Shield
4.Frostmourne
5.Aphotic Shield
6.Borrowed Time
7.Aphotic Shield

10.Stats
11.Borrowed Time
12-15.Stats
16.Borrowed Time
17-21.Stats
22-25.Death Coil
The reason for me not getting Death Coil early game is because I usally dont nuke people early game but I aim to thrive because I usally play defensive, not offensive

Offensive Build
This people is those who want to nuke people to death.
1.Aphotic Shield
2.Death Coil
3.Aphotic Shield
4.Death Coil
5.Aphotic Shield
6.Borrowed Time
7.Aphotic Shield
8.Death Coil
9.Death Coil
10.Frostmourne
11.Borrowed Time
12-14.Frostmoure
15.Stats
16.Borrowed Time
17-25.Stats
I dont use this build because I play defensive not offensive because i believe defense is the best offense.

WHY I BELIEVE DEFENSE IS BETTER THAN OFFENSE
I believe that defense is better than offense because if you wait for the enemy hero to make a very brutal mistake, i will be there so its better to wait than to attack and make mistakes. I believe that this could be one of the smallest mindgame that you can play.

How to use aphotic shield
Use aphotic like this...
1.First creep in line
2.yourself
3.your friend

Spell Synergies
Death Coil + Aphotic
This combo is very nice for aggresive and supportive players, you can use this to heal AND to damage, remember that deathcoil has recoil right? then that means they get damaged by death coil AND aphotic. nice right?

Death Coil + Borrowed Time
This combo gives recoil to you, but instead of damaging you, it heals you and damages or heals allies/enemies. but drawback is DC gives small amounts of healing/damaging.

Borrowed or Aphotic + MoM
wow, ownage! that was the old times, but sice MoM was changed, you do MoM then you cast aphotic near the end of MoM's duration


SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE WHO COMMENTED
