You can use Death Coil to deny yourself if you know your are going to die. For both these builds take Borrowed Time whenever possible.Įven if Abaddon is playing aggressive try to avoid using Aphotic shield on yourself because you have your ultimate to protect you and you are quite tanky anyway and Abaddon does have some mana problems. For the aggressive build get a level of Aphotic shield at level one for survivability purposes then max out Death coil followed by Frostmourne then Aphotic Shield. If the laning opponents are rather aggressive spell casters max out Death Coil first however if they are physical harassers max out Aphotic shield first. With the defensive build max out Aphotic shield and Death Coil then Frostmourne last.

Both ways are effective and it all depends on what heroes you are facing and what heros are on your team. 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.Ībaddon can play defensively as a support with Aphotic shield and Death Coil to heal your lane mate, or he can play aggressively with Frostmourne and using Death Coil to harass the opponent. 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.

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.
