Hell Lord\'s Ability Introduction
Passive: Covenant of Darkness
Releases a pulse of dark energy every 6 seconds, damaging enemies in the vicinity and slowing them (magical damage). Each activation also grants Hell Lord a protective shield. If the target is stunned, they are Bound for 1 minute. This effect can be triggered up to 2 additional times. When heroes are nearby, each spell cast augments Hell Lord with 5 points of Dark Power (maximum 25).
I. Recommended Equipment
1. Footwear
Start with Armor Boots or Mercury\'s Treads, as Hell Lord excels in sustained damage and burst capabilities. This provides early survivability and space to execute. Late-game, consider Spellbinder or Iceborn Gauntlet for spell penetration.
2. Core Three-Item Build
Equip with Archmage\'s Staff and Zhonyas Hourglass for enhanced sustain and damage mitigation. Abyssal Mask silences enemy units, synergizing with teammates for better crowd control. Finally, Liandry\'s Torment significantly boosts Hell Lord\'s health and magic resist.
3. Remaining Two-Item Selection
Consider Redemption for increased healing and tenacity, and Banshee\'s Veil for protection. Adjust based on specific game needs with additional support items.
4. Talent Allocation
Prioritize [E-W], secondary [Q], and upgrade [R] when available.
II. Gameplay
1. Starting Equipment
Begin with a Philosopher\'s Stone and switch to Eye of the Equinox for map awareness and preventing ganks.
2. Laning Phase
As a melee mage, proceed cautiously against ranged attackers. Use basic attacks to drain enemy health and avoid hasty dives. Utilize brushes wisely to avoid detection and potential first blood losses.
3. Roaming Strategy
Despite specializing in mid-lane, leverage Hell Lord\'s extended range to assist allied lanes and establish dominance.
4. Mid-Game
Participate in team ganks, but exercise caution against indiscriminate engagements. Wait for opportune moments before launching attacks.
5. Late-Game Focus
Maintain positioning as a primary frontline target. Errors can result in being targeted by opponents.
6. Additional Notes
Hell Lord\'s ultimate can be repositioned by movement. Avoid unnecessary movements during the channeling phase to ensure its accuracy.
