1. Introduction

Abbadon can be used as a support hero, but if you read this guide, you’ll learn how to be immortal and how to be a killer. In this guide, I will teach you how to play him as a killer. I prefer this way, but you can be a support hero too. If you want to be a support hero, you’re gay (so try another guide).

Background History

A former paladin of great renown, Abaddon fell into darkness during the invasion of the Burning Legion, becoming possessed by many demons, corrupting both his soul and his powers. Now a Death Knight set high in the Lich King's hierarchy of generals, he rides into battle against impossible odds, never stopping until he reaches the World Tree itself. Whether enhancing his own fortitude with a shield of dark energy, or using his life force to aid in combat, the Lord of Avernus leads the armies of the Scourge ever onward, forever locked in combat with the forces of good, and his enemies who were once his greatest comrades.

4. Skills (Not in details)

Death Coil(Active) Abaddon releases a coil of death that can damage an enemy unit or heal a friendly unit at the cost of some of Abaddon's health.

Aphotic Shield(Active) 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. Removes certain types of negative buffs on cast.

Frostmourne(Passive) Abaddon strikes an enemy with Frostmourne's chilling power on each attack, causing all units who attack the slowed enemy to increased movement speed, along with faster attack speed, for a limited time. PS: This will make creeps ATK faster, so you will can carry your lane easier.

Borrowed Time(Active) When activated, most negative buffs will be removed and any damage you take will heal you instead of damage you. If the ability is not in cooldown, it will passively activate when your hitpoints drop below 400 hp.

Skill Build Explanation

This build is taken to fuck your enemies and destroy your rivals on your lane. If you need a supportive build, I will say for the last time, you’re gay (and need to try another build). Ok, seriously, death coil isn't good at early game because its damage can help the enemy kill you, and your shield is much much better because it can save your allies like coil and can damage your enemies like coil, but you don't take any damage to use it! Frostmourne is your best skill for ganking and killing.

Skill Build 2 Explanation

This build is more supportive, and is good against ranged heros or heavy nukers. With Shield + Coil maxed you can use shield and 2 coils without take any damage, and also can explode your shield, dealing HEAVY damage.

6. Item Build

Starting Items (Do not leave home without this)



With these items you can be a good farmer (please, remember: LAST HIT) and earn money easy. Each single Emo tear can be used for wash your ass.

Core Items (FARM LIKE HELL)




With your Frostmourne, you will FARM LIKE HELL!
After all Chuck Norris use weapons in addition of Roundhouse Kicks, right?



Alternative Core Items (Poor Tanker)



Here you have items that prevent you from death and also give ganking power.You can use this Core for ganking near enemies' towers or tanking on an early 2x2 or 3x3 battle.

Late Game Build

Tese are the best items on abbadon. Look at your Late game build right down:

- Basic melee hero item.

- Wanna be immortal?

- Armor + DMG + ATK Speed. Perfect.

- You won't die by NO ONE. OH MY GOD SUPER DUPER ABBADON.

- This is for mid game. Helps a lot.

. If use choose the BF, buy it on early-mid game.

Situational Items


This can help you if your enemies are easily escaping from you.


Ok, your team do not have a pusher and/or the other team has a Rikimaru. Buy and use it.


If your team has many melee heroes or your team's carrier is melee, buy it. Remember: Abba can be a supporter.


The other team has heroes with high damage skills like Lion, Lina or Huskar? So you need a Linkens.


Oh oh, you guys may say "Dagger on Abbadon? Are you crazy?" So, try the dagger and you will see. Your ganking power becomes much much better.


Mekansm is the best support item, but buy it JUST if no one on your team has one or if you NEED to be the supporter.


Seriously, this item is just for Axe and Centaur. You don't need, but if the other team has heroes like Troll or Sven, Vanguard can be useful.


ONLY if the other team has a Carry hero and your team doesn't have any disable.


This is so good on a battle (you can use a Double-Ult ).


ONLY on LATE LATE game, because you need treads' stats.

7. How to Play Abbadon

Early game: Well, search for dying creeps and kill them, use your shield as soon as you can (use it on creeps, because when the effects end by the damage taken, the shield damage nearby enemies). It’s not easy, but if you want you can “travel” between Jungle and Lane during the early game (this gives you a lot of money). Always harass the late games heros. And remember: do not stay alone in dangerous lanes.

Mid Game: When your team need to protect the lanes, offer to do it (you will LVL up fast and earn easy money). Also help your teammates in combats with your Shield and your Coil (use the coil during your ultimate). Search for dying towers on the map and destroy them. DO NEVER get in combat alone and REMEMBER: in ganks, always plan your escape routes before the attack.

Late Game: Buy a (with it you can teleport to your lanes and “carry” them). Here you probably will need to be the team’s main tanker. So when your team gets into a Team Battle, “jump” to your enemies and focus one “paper” (always kill the “papers” first). The order of attacks on each other team's hero has to be combined before the battle begins.

8. Gank Strategy

Move your self! You are not the best ganker on the world, but ganks give you XP. So, remember this: Always come from behind. Jungle is a good place for hiding before a gank. Wait for your target gets near to your tower and then GO.Don't forget that you will need at least LVL 3 Frostmourne to do this.
Never try to kill anyone that's "alone" in the map. It's always a trap. Good Luck!



9. PS:
Friends & Foes depends on the game… But run if you see Lion, Axe or Necrolyte… They can kill you before the ultimate be activated (auto-activate). Sorry for any grammatical errors (English is not my native language). Bye-Bye! CAIAN.
OH! OH! I forgot the special thanks. Special thanks to me. I’m awesome. And sorry for the Pros and Cons Ivanns (i changed it).Oh, and send me sugestions, please.
