You also have to consider that units and heroes will heal during the spell's duration. A level 4 Firestorm will deal 560 damage to creeps and 420 damage to heroes (due to natural 25% spell resistance) who stay within its AOE for the full duration. This damage is dealt over a period of X+2 seconds. If a target stays in the spell's AOE for X number of waves, the damage it receives can be calculated by the following formula:

The residual burn damage from each wave does NOT stack with the burn damage from other waves. The exact amount of damage inflicted by Firestorm is a source of confusion for many players. The cooldown is low and the mana cost isn't very high, so spam this often. Once you cast it, the AOE will take the full damage of the spell over a period of 8 seconds (this includes the secondary burn damage, it doesn't take that long for the waves to actually fall). This is your main farming tool, your bread and butter. Each wave deals initial damage and then burns enemies for 2 seconds. You may also see your AOE spells or Dark Rift go to waste if your team doesn't move in on time to take advantage of them.Ĭalls down 6 waves of fire that damage enemy units in an area. With noob allies, you may find yourself tanking a ton of damage in vain. Needs allies who are able to coordinate with you.

AOE spells allow you to make an impact in large team battles

He excels at pushing and base defense, and can do a lot of damage in large team battles. Although the Pit Lord lacks individual hero killing power, his abilities make him an excellent teammate. His ultimate, Dark Rift, allows him and his allies to travel across the map in seconds. His three basic spells all have areas of effect (AOE), allowing him to wipe out creeps or affect multiple enemy heroes in team battles. Azgalor is a tank who can spam his spells a lot.
