Can prevent a single enemy from using abilities and healing.
Wings branded and visage twisted, the Fallen One bears little resemblance to his former self. Banished from the realm of light, Lucifer now walks the earth, bringing misery to all who stand against him. The towering demon Devours creeps in a single bite, digesting them whole and assimilating their abilities. The fires of Hell smolder at Lucifer's feet, leaving in his wake fields of Scorched Earth. When the bell of Vashundol tolls, an enemy's downfall is sure to follow. Raising his Infernal Blade, Lucifer places upon his adversary an enduring curse, burning away at its health and rendering it utterly powerless as it staggers towards its inevitable Doom.

Bio

Lucifer, the Doom

▶️ "Hehm ehme meh heh heh, speak of me, and I shall appear. Face me and face the furnace!"

Lore:

He that burns and is not consumed, devours and is never sated, kills and is beyond all judgment--Lucifer brings doom to all who would stand against him. Bearing away souls on the tip of a fiery sword, he is the Fallen One, a once-favored general from the realm behind the light, cast out for the sin of defiance: he would not kneel.

Six times his name was tolled from the great bell of Vashundol. Six and sixty times his wings were branded, until only smoking stumps remained. Without wings, he slipped loose from the tethers that bound him within the light and he fell screaming to earth. A crater in the desert, Paradise lost. Now he attacks without mercy, without motive, the only living being able to move freely between the seven dark dominions. Lashed by inescapable needs, twisted by unimaginable talents, Doom carries his own hell with him wherever he goes. Defiant to the last. Eventually, the world will belong to Doom.

Ability Draft Notes:

Devour only grants passive abilities of devoured neutral creeps (except for Dragonhide Aura), active abilities are not gained. The passive abilities are gained in the form of status buffs.
Devour's cooldown is not reset by Rearm.

Lucifer's appetite and greed are never sated.

Alt-Cast Icon

• Upon leveling Devour for the first time, it has Alt-cast activated by default, which enables acquiring abilities of neutral creeps.
  • The acquired abilities' levels are based on the current level of Devour at the time of acquisition and levels up accordingly based on the Neutral Upgrade interval.
  • These abilities appear in the dedicated Fourth and Fifth ability slot.

• Cannot devour Roshan, Couriers, wards, creep-heroes, and ancient creeps.
  • TALENT
    Devour's ancient creeps targeting restriction is removed upon learning the talent.

• The following creeps cannot be devoured due to the level restriction:
  • LEVEL 4
    Can devour all creeps.
  • LEVEL 3
    Can devour all creeps.
  • LEVEL 2

• The targeted creep is instantly killed upon cast, granting its bounty and experience like a regular last hit.
  • Then it applies the Devour buff on self, granting its armor and magic resistance bonus, then grants unreliable gold when the buff expires.

• TALENT
  Stacks multiplicatively with other magic resistance sources.
  • Increases Doom's magic resistance to 36.25%.
  • With the magic resistance bonus from this source, every 10 points of intelligence further increases the total magic resistance by 0.85%. [?]

• Despite the ability description stating that the duration is equal to the ability's cooldown, cooldown reduction sources affect the ability's cooldown but not the duration.

• Successive casts fully stack with each instance having its own independent buff duration.

The Fallen One spreads destruction in his wake, sparing none from the flame which sustains him.

• Scorched Earth's radius is centered on Doom for its duration.
  • The movement speed bonus is provided by an aura and lingers for 0.5 seconds.
  • However, the damage and heal per second component is independent of the aura.
  • The ability's visual effect disappears while hidden or invulnerable, and Scorched Earth stops applying its damage and heal per second.

• Deals damage and heal in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after cast, resulting in up to 10/12/14/16 possible instances.
  • Can deal up to 200/420/700/1040 ( 320/564/868/1232) damage to a single enemy within the radius for the entire duration (before reductions).

    However, the damage increasing talent immediately updates the damage and heal per second of the current instance.

• Both leveling up and the movement speed increasing talent does not update the movement speed bonus of the current instance.

• Successive casts do not stack but refresh the ability values and duration.

• SHARD
  Acquiring the Ability Upgrade does not update the current active instance.
  • Always heal Doom and his player-controlled units for the full amount per instance, regardless of how much damage the target actually takes.
  • The healing value is not based on the damage dealt. Therefore, spell amplification sources can not affect the heal value.
  • The heal can be affected by lifesteal manipulation source but not heal manipulation.

Lucifer shares the fire branding bestowed upon him at the time of his exile.

• Infernal Blade's cast range can only be further increased by attack range bonuses of the same range type as the caster. However, it is not affected by cast range bonuses.
  • Both Autocast and manually casting it uses Doom's current attack range.

• Only works with regular attacks. Instant attacks cannot trigger Infernal Blade.

• Cannot be cast on Roshan.

• Deals damage in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after the debuff is applied, resulting in 4 instances.

• Can deal up to 80/120/160/200 + 4%/8%/12%/16% ( 12%/16%/20%/24%) of the target's max health as damage (before reductions).

• Successive casts on the same target fully stack and its debuff works independently.
  • Both leveling up the ability and the max health as damage increasing talent does not update the damage of the current instances.

• Infernal Blade first applies the bash, the burn debuff, then the attack damage.
  • Stacks with other bash sources, with its duration following the regular rule of stuns — the longer one overrides the shorter one.

When a name is tolled from the bell of Vashundol, doom is sure to follow.

• Applies a basic dispel upon cast on the affected target(s).
  • Cannot be cast on ancient creeps.

• Silences the target preventing it from casting abilities, but does not affect the following mechanics:
  • The current state of toggled On abilities. They remain On if Doom is cast on them while toggled on.
  • Item related player actions (e.g. selling, disassembling etc.).
  • Activating runes.
  • Leveling up abilities or learning talents.
  • Channeling an Outpost.

• Deals damage in 1-second intervals, starting immediately upon cast, resulting in 13/15/17 instances.
  • Can deal up to 390/750/1190 damage (before reductions).

• Leveling up the ability does not update the damage of already debuffs.

• Successive casts on the same unit do not stack but refresh the ability values.

• Applies a debuff that freezes health and prevents the following current health increasing effects:
  • Flat current health sources.
  • Percentage-based current health sources.
  • Current health increase from strength items and/or from health bonus items.
  • Granite Aura

• However, the debuff does not prevent the following sources from increasing health:
  • Setting health sources.
  • Max health increasing sources.
  • From losing the Death Pact and Whirling Death debuff.
  • From gaining/losing the Decay buff/debuff.

• SCEPTER
  Doom now turns into an aura with 300 radius and it does not linger.
  • ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically target self.
  • Enemies within the radius of the affected target are also Doomed following the same intervals. Leaving and re-entering the Doom aura does not apply a basic dispel on affected enemies.

  • Doom first applies the damage, then the aura.
  • While active, both acquiring and losing Aghanim's Scepter does not update the current instance.

Recommended Items

Starting items:

• Tango restores health to stay in lane.

• Healing Salve restores health quickly to stay in the lane.

• Gauntlets of Strength gives Doom strength and builds into Soul Ring.

• Iron Branch provides bonus attributes and can later be upgraded into a Magic Wand.

Early game:

• Soul Ring solves his mana problem during the early game.

• Boots of Speed grants Doom movement speed bonus to increase his mobility with Scorched Earth, helping him to chase down or run away.

Mid game:

• Phase Boots give bonus armor making him tankier and with Scorched Earth give even more mobility.

• Magic Wand provides burst health and mana regen that can often be enough to survive.

• Hand of Midas is a good item for any role Doom as he can get lots of early gold from Devour to be able to afford it and to get levels for talents.

• Drum of Endurance is a good attributes booster that has an easy buildup and lets Doom participate more often in early fights. It provides more health, a bigger mana pool, and an active that increases attack and movement speed to boost his team's mobility and damage output.

• Blink Dagger is a useful initiating item on Doom, as he can use it to quickly get within range to disable enemies using any abilities he has gained via the use of Devour, as well as his ultimate. It greatly improves his mobility, allowing him to move around the map or position himself for casting spells more easily.

Late game:

• Shiva's Guard rectifies Doom's low base intelligence, allowing him to cast his spells much more often, while simultaneously alleviating his armor problem. The active can be used in a teamfight to debilitate enemies' movements, and is powerful when chasing enemies down.

• Lotus Orb helps Doom survive with regeneration and armor. The active dispels and reflects targeted spells, which can be used on allies.

• Refresher Orb is a powerful complement to Doom's ultimate, as it allows him to remove two enemy players from a teamfight, drastically tipping the odds in his team's favor. However, due to Doom's low intelligence and the high mana cost of refreshing cooldowns, Doom should increase the size of his mana pool before attempting to purchase this.

Situational items:

• Shadow Blade improves Doom's physical damage output, helping him deal damage in fights or farm more efficiently. The active allows Doom to invisibly initiate on enemies while dealing backstab damage prior to casting his ultimate, or can be used as an escape ability as needed.

• Blade Mail is a powerful mid-game item that gives Doom many powerful benefits. The increased intelligence greatly offsets his low base mana pool, the armor alleviates his weakness to physical damage, and the active works alongside his huge health pool to punish the enemy should they decide to attack him.

• Heaven's Halberd can give Doom increased survivability against physical damage by giving him more strength, status resistance, as well as evasion against attacks, helping to offset his armor vulnerability. The active is also powerful in eliminating a target's ability to attack, a powerful complement to his ultimate if the target decides to stand their ground and fight.

• Crimson Guard is a good utility item that vastly increases Doom's survivability against physical damage. The active ability can further protect all teammates from physical damage for some time as well.

• Assault Cuirass is a strong item on Doom that solves his armor and attack speed issues, giving him and his team increased physical damage output during fights.

• Radiance turns Doom into a walking hazard, as it inflicts burn damage to all nearby enemies (as well as stacking with Scorched Earth), and augments his attack damage. The Burn also induces a blind on all nearby enemies, causing them to miss some attacks and giving Doom more survivability against physical attacks.

• Heart of Tarrasque is a very strong item on Doom, as it augments his already impressive strength growth. Once he has sufficient armor, bulking up his health can make him much harder to kill in teamfights, allowing him to outlast the enemy. The passive health regen allows him to completely recover his health pool outside of battle, which lets him be much more active.

• Black King Bar can be extremely important to get on Doom, so that he can prevent himself from being chain-disabled and killed before getting his ultimate off. As well, once he gets farmed enough he needs to prevent himself from being disabled in teamfights so that he can take the enemy team head-on.

• Scythe of Vyse gives Doom a much bigger mana pool, good mana regen, good stats across the board and a ranged hard-disable that is a powerful complement to his ultimate. It is also useful on a carry Doom due to the Hex alone.

• Guardian Greaves greatly improves Doom's overall survivability, as its aura can make him much harder to bring down at low health. The active is very powerful in teamfights for healing and replenishing mana, and can remove debuffs from Doom himself.

Trivia

• In DotA, Doom used to be known as "Doom Bringer", which was first kept in the transition to Dota 2. Later with the January 10, 2013 update, his name was changed likely to avoid copyright conflicts with "Blizzard Entertainment".

• Several of Doom's abilities are inspired by Final Fantasy's Blue Mages. LVL? Death was based on the Level 5 Death ability and the mechanics of a LVL? S-flare. Devour is highly similar to Quina Quen's eat and cook ability from Final Fantasy IX. His ultimate, Doom, also shares the same name of another Blue Mage ability, but the mechanics differ.

• His name, Lucifer, is taken from the Bible's Book of Isaiah and translates to "Lightbringer", from Latin lux[1] and fero[2]. It is often used to refer to the Biblical Devil (or Satan), thus fitting Doom's evil and demonic image.

• Doom's ultimate icon depicts a pentacle which, despite its popular connotation as Satanic/"evil" mark, is actually a Pagan symbol of protection. For its common "evil" symbolism to apply, the pentagram has to be inverted; this only occasionally occurs in-game, as the "star" inside the circle of the ability's particle effect slowly rotates.

• Doom's response upon taking an Invisibility Rune, ▶️ "Heheheh, see no evil.", refers to the Three wise monkeys and their associated phrase: "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Riki also has this line.

• Doom is derived from the Pit Lord's, a playable hero in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. The original ability varied in that it was only castable on non-hero units, is non-removable, and would spawn a Doomguard on its death. The Doomguard's model was Lucifer's hero model in DotA.
