Valve heeft zojuist een nieuwe update vrijgegeven voor haar populaire MOBA-game Dota 2. Deze voegt enkele nieuwe dingen toe aan de game, waaronder de geestenridder Abaddon en zijn spokenpaard. Ook worden er enkele bugs verholpen.
Abbadon beschikt over de volgende krachten:
De update verhelpt verder enkele vervelende bugs en ook wordt er ondersteuning toegevoegd voor Mac OS X en Linux. Check de volledige lijst met veranderingen hieronder.Death Coil: A targeted ability, Death Coil can either damage enemies or heal allies. It has a respectable 800 unit range and can be used to finish off fleeing enemies or a last minute save on your friends. Casting this ability not only consumes mana but also costs some of Abaddon’s health. The cost is dealt as pure damage, and can also be used to deny yourself if your death is certain.
Aphotic Shield: A shield that blocks damage and damages enemies, this is ability has a ton of uses. You can place it on any allied unit, meaning heroes or creeps. When it has blocked a certain amount of damage, the shield explodes dealing the total absorbed damage in large AoE around the target. It also removes certain negative buffs and stuns.
Curse of Avernus: Abaddon’s passive ability, Curse of Avernus affects enemies and allies alike with different effects. Whenever Abaddon strikes an enemy they will have their movement speed reduced. In addition any ally that attacks the affected target will have their attack speed and movement speed buffed for a short duration. This also works on towers.
Borrowed Time: This ultimate is why Abaddon is simply one of the hardest to kill heroes in the game. When activated most negative buffs are removed and any damage Abaddon takes will instead heal him for that amount. If the ability isn’t on cooldown, Borrowed Time will activate automatically when Abaddon reaches a critical threshold. Also any projectiles will be dodged if Borrowed Time is activated before they hit.
