There are few heroes who are more difficult to kill than the Lord of Avernus.
Using his Aphotic Shield, Abaddon can cast barriers around any friendly unit
which absorb a set amount of damage before exploding, dealing the absorbed
damage back to nearby attackers. When under threat himself, Abaddon uses
Borrowed Time, which can give him new life if he is in danger. For several seconds,
Borrowed Time reverses the effect of all incoming damage and makes it heal
Abaddon instead. Many enemies who were sure of their victory have fallen upon
the Lord of Avernus intent on destroying him, only to find him completely healed
by their attacks. In addition to his own near-invulnerability, Abaddon can heal
allies with his Death Coil spell. At the cost of some of his own life, the Lord of
Avernus can either heal an allied unit or damage a foe. Finally, his dread sword
Frostmourne imparts some of its unholy powers to its wielder. Any unit struck
by this dark blade will be slowed, and any allies of Abaddon who attack the slowed
target will gain increased movement and attack speeds. The Lord of Avernus excels
at using his abilities on both offense and defense, and can single-handedly turn a
losing battle into a victory.
