A new hero, Abyssal Underlord, was recently added to the "DOTA 2" roster. People who were not able to play the first "DOTA" games may not be familiar with him. Here are some quick build recommendations gathered from around the community.

Introduction

According to Join DOTA, Abyssal Underlord is a utility hero that specializes in AOE spells. His starting damage is not at par with Treant Protector, but still clocks in at a decent 62-68.

Early Game And Roles

Join DOTA recommends running Underlord as a solo offlaner early in the game to reach level 6 early and get his ultimate Dark Rift for support, or as a mid against a melee hero due to his damage reduction Atrophy Aura. Underlord may not be a suitable carry, however.

Spells

Firestorm (Q) "Calls down waves of fire that damage enemy units in the target area, and continues to burn them for additional damage over time."

Pit of Malice (W) "A deadly pit is conjured at the target location; any unit that enters is unable to move for some time and takes damage. Each enemy unit can only be affected once."

Atrophy Aura (passive) (E) "Nearby enemy units are weakened, losing a portion of their base damage. If it dies while under this effect, Underlord gains bonus damage."

Dark Rift (ultimate) (R) "Opens a dark rift at the targeted friendly unit's position. After a short delay, Underlord and all nearby friendly heroes are teleported to that unit's location."
