DOTA - Doom / Lucifer Tips, Build, Strat

(In Warcraft 3 / DOTA) Lucifer / Doom / Doom Bringer has a brilliant silence (move), when used it silences a lot more than just your usable spells and the inventory items.

It also prevents and takes away…

1. Orb effects
2. Buffs (But not all, Insatiable Hunger is one of them and you can still lifesteal)
3. Magic immunity (Note: The hero is still in avatar mode but is still silenced and taking damage)
4. Lifesteal
5. Bash
6. Critical Strikes

The 2 heroes that are 'anti-Doom' type of hero's are

Leviathan

1. Kraken Shell lessens the time Doom takes effects.

Abaddon

1. If one of your allies was cast with Doom just cast aphotic shield on him/her to remove doom.

2. If you are the one being cast with Doom, don’t worry since borrowed time will remove Doom once it activates when your life reaches 400 below.
