Difficulty Level - Insane . . . ly easy

I'm not kidding, this guy is so easy to play once you get the hang of him. All you have to do is know when to dive in.

Introduction

Hades, God of . . . . . Get it? Cause he has a silence. ;) Yes, I watch MythyMoo. Hades was originally a defender God, but was turned into a mage later in the game. He still has his high defense though which makes him a very versatile God to build. The hardest part about playing him is constantly running out of mana in the early game, but it's no problem in the early game.

Skills

Hades passive applies a debuff , from his normal staff, called blight. It stays on for 8s and can be refreshed. Blight will add extra effects to Hades's other abilities.
Hades's first ability is called Death From Below. Hades descends into the ground and erupts from below at his ground location, doing damage to all enemies in the area. If the enemy is Blighted, they are also Slowed. Applies Blight.
Hades's second ability is called Shroud of Darkness. Hades Silences all enemies in a cone in front of him. If the enemy is Blighted, they are also Feared. Applies Blight.
Hades's third ability is called Devour Souls. Hades devours the souls of his enemies, dealing damage in a radius around him. If the enemy is Blighted, the enemy explodes dealing damage to nearby enemies and healing your allies. Enemy gods only take 50% of the damage from detonating Blights. Consumes Blight.
Hades's Ultimate is called Pillar of Agony. Hades calls to all enemy souls nearby, pulling them closer to him over time, doing damage every .5s for 4s. If the enemy is Blighted, their Protections are reduced. Hades also gains Protections for the duration.
