Good day, dear readers. Today we want to bring to your attention a review on the character 
Abaddon.
History
The genus Averno nourishes the font — a rift in the earth, which gives off mysterious energy over the generations. Each newborn family is dipped into this dark fog, thus giving a link to their land and its mysterious power. Children grow up with an uncompromising faith in the protection of family values and the traditions of the land, but in fact they protect the font itself, whose true intentions are unknown. When the newborn Abaddon was baptized, something went wrong. A spark of reason flashed in the eyes of the child, which frightened all those present and made the priests whisper. He was raised so that he would follow the path of all the siblings of a clan: war and defense of the motherland at the head of the army. But Abaddon itself did not pay much attention to this. While others were training in handling weapons, he meditated at the font. He inhaled deeply the dark fog, learning to be one with the force that flowed deep under the ground of his house. Ultimately, he became a creature of black fog. Rod Averno disapproved of such a decision, accusing him of neglecting duties. But all these accusations ceased when Abaddon entered into its first battle and showed that acquired power over life and death, which other members of the genus could not even dream of.

• Deals pure damage by itself and magic by enemies.
• This means that damage by itself is blocked with 
Aphotic Shield, converted into treatment by the action of 
Borrowed Time, and is subject to increased spell damage.
Aphotic Shield - The power of the black mist absorbs the blows just as it absorbs daylight itself.
Surrounds an ally with a shield of dark energy that absorbs a certain amount of damage. If the shield disappears or is destroyed, it will explode and cause damage to enemies around it, equal to the health of the shield. The application removes stunning and most negative effects from the target.

Notes:
• With each successful attack, Abaddon imposes a slowdown debuff.
• The attack first applies a debuff, then deals damage.
Borrowed Time - This force, the most unnatural of all the gifts of the font Abaddon, challenges the understanding of mortals. What should hurt, heals, and what should kill, gives fresh strength.
Draws all damage taken to healing. Application removes most of the negative effects. If the ability is ready, then it will work automatically as soon as the owner's health drops below 400.

5/6/7) sec.

• Applies a strong dispel on Abaddon when used or passively activated.
• Ability can be applied even when the hero is in stunning, hurricane, sleep, provocation, disappearance or forced movement.
advices
• When playing as a support would be wise to pump Death Coil and Aphotic Shield and not spend level at Frostmourne, because these abilities are much more useful in the early stages of the game and allow you to effectively treat, protect, and do not even give himself enemies in a pinch.
• Note that Aphotic Shield can remove stun and slowdown. Use this in all dangerous situations for the Allies.
• Abaddon a very strong hero, especially because of his ultimate Borrowed Time, but do not overestimate this ability and remember that it is better to retreat in time than to give up in vain.
• Using Aphotic Shield on the target with the effect of this ability will cause an explosion without waiting. Given the large range of the ability, you can increase the damage inflicted on opponents in team battles.
• At the early stage of the game you can use Aphotic Shield on creeps that will soon die forcing opponents who want to finish them off to receive damage. Using items that regenerate mana, you can beat your opponents on the line at all without taking damage. Even if your opponents understand your tactics and retreat, you can independently finish off your creep for blasting a shield.
• Thanks to its Ultimate Borrowed Time Abaddonis one of the few heroes who can safely go under the towers. It will also be useful to use 
Mask of Madness, as additional damage from its activation will only be to your advantage during the action Borrowed Time.
• Experienced opponents will pay attention to the inclusion of your ultimate and stop attacking you until it expires. Do not forget that the duration of the Ultimate is relatively short.
F A C T S
• In the bible, Abaddon — the name of an angel who rises from the abyss and commands the army of locusts. His name means «destroyer» in Hebrew.
• Also Abaddon — commander of chaos in the universe Warhammer 40000.
• The name «Lord of Avernus» is a reference to the famous crater in Italy, which is considered the entrance to the underworld.
TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
• Playing for support. For starters, we collect 
Arcane Boots or Tranquil Boots and 
Soul Ring will be a good option for you. These two items should deprive your mana problem and allow you not to return to the base for a long time. As support melee, which does not particularly require mobility, you become the bearer of the team auras. First of all get 
Headdress and 
Buckler, to improve them to 
Mekansm and 
Guardian Greves. If you have a problem in mana, you better skip the purchase Mekansm, since you need 225 mana to use it. Instead you can take 
Vladmir's Offering and 
Crimson Guard. In addition to these items worth taking 
Drum of Endurance, to increase the maneuverability of the team. Also do not forget about 
Force Staff and/or 
Kellen's Dagger, to enhance your vitality.
• For farm use 
Phase Boots, so that in case of chase you could catch up with your opponent. But in the late stage it stands instead Phase Boots, take yourself Guardian Greves and 
Sange and Yasha, that will make you almost unkillable. Since the hero is hard to kill, then a good subject for him will be 
Radiance and in addition to it 
Octarine Core, which also reduces the ability to recharge. For damage from the hand, you can buy 
Abyssal Blade and 
Mjollnir. Although it seems that for farm Abaddon it is better to collect through damage from the hand, still objects with an aura are the best solution: 
Assault Cuirass, 
Shiva's Guard или 
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse.
