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[]

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

Recommended Items[]

Starting items:

  • Tango icon Tango restores health to stay in lane.
  • Iron Branch icon Iron Branch provides bonus attributes and can later be upgraded into a Magic Wand.

Early game:

  • Soul Ring icon Soul Ring solves his mana problem during the early game.
  • Boots of Speed icon 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 icon Phase Boots give bonus armor making him tankier and with Scorched Earth give even more mobility.
  • Magic Wand icon Magic Wand provides burst health and mana regen that can often be enough to survive.
  • Hand of Midas icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon Lotus Orb helps Doom survive with regeneration and armor. The active dispels and reflects targeted spells, which can be used on allies.
  • Refresher Orb icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 icon 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 "Doombringer", which was first kept as "Doom Bringer" in the transition to Dota 2. Later with the January 10, 2013 update, his name was changed to avoid copyright conflicts with "Blizzard Entertainment".
  • 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 ability icon 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.
