Show/Hide Tooltips
| 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[edit]
Hehm ehme meh heh heh, speak of me, and I shall appear. Face me and face the furnace!▶️Lucifer, the Doom
Alias:
DB
Lore:
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.

Trivia[edit]
- Prior the January 10, 2013 Patch, Doom's title was Doom Bringer, matching his title in DotA. The reason for this change us unknown.
- Several of Doom's abilities are inspired by Final Fantasy's Blue Mages.
- LVL? Death was based on the Level 5 Death ability and the mechanics of a LVL? S-flare.
- Devour is highly similar to Quina Quen's Eat and Cook ability from Final Fantasy IX, although it may also be based on the Warcraft 3 ability of the same name.
- His ultimate, Doom, also shares the same name of another Blue Mage ability, but the mechanics differ, though it is more likely to be based on the Warcraft ability of the same name.
- 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 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's response upon taking an Invisibility Rune, ▶️ "Heheheh, see no evil.", refers to the Three wise monkeys and their associated phrase: "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Riki also has this line.
- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- In DotA, Doom is based on and inspired by the Doom Guards, a powerful demon that can be summoned by the Pit Lord.
- Devour is based on Devour, an ability of the Kodo Beasts, as well as several neutral Dragons.
