Mobility items like Force Staff can also help with mana, as well as giving you a surefire way of getting close to team-mates that need immediate withdrawal from a sticky situation by casting Dark Rift then forcing across to them just before the teleport delay ends. Eul’s Scepter can help with that as well as letting you set up easy kills for your team, keeping an enemy in place with the tornado, then the pit of malice. One of his biggest issues is mana, so any mana regen or int boosting utility items are useful as well. BKB also gives you good strength and prevents you getting bursted away during fights, as the longer you hang around the more problems you cause. Crimson Guard is good, increasing your own attack damage, making you a giant tank and also doing your job of supporting the rest of the team with more damage block. Now that he’s out and you’re playing him, build literally any strength items, preferably with ally auras too. And now imagine if once Io got there, it wasn’t just hiding behind the big heroes and was actually jumping into fights, doing insane AoE damage and also hitting like a truck once two heroes were dead. Imagine if Io didn’t just take a Tiny or a Chaos Knight across the map and everyone else had to run there. It’s entirely safe to say that Underlord excels at team-fighting, and the terrifying ability for him and his whole crew to just drop in on you almost anywhere on the map will make global presence drafts all the more scary.

This was kind of extremely broken during his 10v10 All Star debut due to all of the death all of the time, but it’s still a fearsome passive.

As that suggests, this is an aura, affecting enemy heroes in a 900 radius (massive total 1800 diameter) reducing their attack damage while boosting his own damage per unit death (hero or non-hero). His brawl-ish toolkit is rounded out with a third, passive ability called Atrophy Aura.

Bonus attack damage per Non-Hero death:5.

Bonus attack damage per Hero death:30/35/40/45.

Reduces enemy damage and boost Underlord’s attack per unit death.
