Warlock is a very interesting and easy intelligence hero to play. His abilities allow him to heal, damage, stun, and quickly take down towers. The way to win with warlock is by constantly harassing the other team, and pushing hard and fast.

	Demnok Lannik - Warlock Range: 600 \| Move Speed: 295 Primary: INT Str: 18 + 2.5 \| Agi: 10 + 1.0 \| Int: 24 + 2.7 Damage: 46 - 56 \| HP: 492 \| Mana: 312 HP Regen: 0.79 \| Mana Regen: 0.97 Attack Speed: 0.65 \| Armor: 2
	Fatal Bonds (F) Bonds up to 5 enemy units together, causing damage dealt to any of them to be partially felt by the others. Level 1 - 3.75% damage to linked units, lasts 25 seconds. Level 2 - 7.5% damage to linked units, lasts 25 seconds. Level 3 - 11.25% damage to linked units, lasts 25 seconds. Level 4 - 15% damage to linked units, lasts 25 seconds. • Damage type: HP removal • Damage will not disable abilities or items like Kelen's Dagger which requires player based damage. • Casting range: 600 • Area of Effect: 600 Mana Cost: 120 Cooldown: 30 Comment: Not a very useful skill in my opinion. The only use I can see for this skill is to bond the hero with the creep so the hero will take damage also, but why do that when you can just shadow word them for more damage?
	Shadow Word (W) A single word causes powerful magics to envelop the target. Creates a healing mechanism on a friendly target or damages an unfriendly one. Does not dispel on attack. Level 1 - Heals or damages 10 hit points per second, lasts 8 seconds. Level 2 - Heals or damages 20 hit points per second, lasts 8 seconds. Level 3 - Heals or damages 30 hit points per second, lasts 8 seconds. Level 4 - Heals or damages 40 hit points per second, lasts 8 seconds. • Damage type: magical • A hero affected by Shadow Word may be denied once it falls below 25% of its maximum health. • Casting range: 500 Mana Cost: 90/110/130/150 Cooldown: 24 Comment: This skill defines the warlock. Use it to heal yourself or your teammates when you guys need life. Also very useful for harassing the opponent with.
	Upheaval (E) Stirs up inert magic in a target area, channeling the force into a powerful slowing current that grows more powerful with every passing second it's channeled. Can channel up to 10 seconds and up to 84% slow. Level 1 - Slows by 7% per second, slow lasts 3 seconds. Level 2 - Slows by 14% per second, slow lasts 3 seconds. Level 3 - Slows by 21% per second, slow lasts 3 seconds. Level 4 - Slows by 28% per second, slow lasts 3 seconds. • Slow amount is calculating with duration of channel, not with how long enemy was in area of effect. • Casting range: 700 • Area of Effect: 650 Mana Cost: 100/110/120/130 Cooldown: 20 Comment: Another ability I don't find very useful. The only time i can see a use for this is when you are attacking towers and want to slow down the defense. But if you play warlock right with shadow word and inferno, there would be no defense left :p.
	Rain of Chaos (R) Calls an Infernal down from the sky, dealing 100 damage and stunning nearby enemies for 1 second. The infernal lasts 45 seconds, takes reduced damage from spells, has Permanent Immolation and a chance to Pulverize an area on attack. Level 1 - Summons an Infernal with weak Pulverize and average attack, lasts 30 seconds. Level 2 - Summons an Infernal with a mighty Pulverize and powerful attack, lasts 30 seconds. Level 3 - Summons an Infernal with a devastating Pulverize and deadly attack, lasts 30 seconds. • Damage type: magical • Magic immune units will be stunned. • Destroys trees in its AoE. • Casting range: 1200 • Area of Effect: 600 Flaming Fists () Description: Gives Infernal a 40% chance that an attack will deal 75/115/150 bonus damage to nearby units. Area of Effect: 300(Full damage AoE)/350(Half damage AoE) • Damage type: magical Permanent Immolation () Description: Burns Infernal's nearby enemy units for 20/30/40 damage per second. Area of Effect: 250 • Damage type: magical Resistant Skin () Description: Reduces the duration of negative spells and renders the Infernal immune to certain spells. • Regarding damage and duration from different spells (like Cyclone and Frost Bite) will consider this unit a hero. • Cannot be transmuted. • Cannot be dominated. • N'aix cannot use Infest on Infernal. Mana Cost: 200/250/300 Cooldown: 165 Comment: Another great skill that defines the warlock. Calls down a great glowing hunk of rock to attack your enemies. When it comes down, it stuns for a large AOE. The inferno also has permament immolation, which means any enemy near it will get burned, and it also has a chance to pulverize, which is like a strong aoe attack. The inferno has a great amount of life and also has chaos damage which will ignore all armor. Mang, thats a lot of bang for your buck.

i dunno, radiance(40) + word(40) + infernal immolation(40 i think?)+ fatal bonds would be

radiance(80)+word(40)+infernal(80) would equal to 200dmg per second... not bad

86 By Vatiz 2009-07-19

@Waribou

No, if you Fatal Bond 5 People and Ridiance affect all of them you'd get:

40 (Immolation) * ( 1 + 0,20 + 0,20 + 0,20 + 0,20 + 0,20) = 40 * 2 = 80 DPS.

I would focus on other Items...

diffusal blade = gg infernal

84 By waribou 2009-06-05

does radiance work with fatal bonds?
ie.if 5 ppl are linked, each person gets
35 immolation dmg + 15%x4 of it?
= 131.5 dmg per second?

Not a bad strategy guide, but really bad build

82 By elgato 2009-05-15

alright guide if you're a MAJOR NOOB

81 By elgato 2009-05-15

alright guide if you're a MAJOR NOOB

nice guide but ur item build sucks...

79 By Z06 2008-11-13

alright guide if you're a MAJOR noob
but i don't think you described the full potential of the warlocke. i think he can be much more effective with his other two spells if used correctly. you don't go into any detail explaining the necronomicon.

78 By carthage 2008-11-05

if ur really really good, like mealk goodwith necro, and G.O.D (Glory Of Destruction) u can go necromonicon instead of AC, mostly bcus there should be someone else going AC in ur team, someone who benefits more from itmore than u.. like Tiny for example! now.. i think i have said mine... to all who are smart.. do this and ull beat MYM, i did.. lol^^ peace! 8/10

77 By carthage 2008-11-05

ur not an idiot! but some things is there that makes u a moron^^ warlock is one of my favourite heros.. so dont fuck him upp.. get fatal bonds before u get uppheaval.. gj on the early stats though.. no need for bracers or shit if u got that.. but go BoT, refresher, guinsoo, shiva, ac and meka.. that makes 6.. what order u make it in u should consider depending on ur teammates.. and ur enemies (meaning heros ofc) but atleast go boots and refresher as first.. skip ur arcane, and to be continued!->

last game I played with lock, i had 0 death 0 kills but 10 assist. It is pretty simple from lvl 11 to be a murderer specially with ur build but not really with most of the items. But neway good strat

74 By yanyan 2008-08-02

Fatal bonds are very helpful IMO. 8/10

73 By kiamehr 2008-07-25

a stun is 100% slow.....beacuse the unit is not moving
upheavel will slow an entire and massive AOE with an 84% slow for a huge period of time and the colldown and mana cost isnt that hight either....its allmost like a huge AOE stun

72 By moogle-taxi 2008-07-01

soryr but i disagree with upheaval, i use it regularly, 84% slow in 1 seocd in total, i chase down an opponent, send 2 infernals at them and sue upheaval in one direction, if they run at me, the golems catch up and get in 5 or 6 moe hits,

i agree with never using fatal bonds =]]

warlock is my main int hero asides from vol'jin

71 By moogle-taxi 2008-07-01

why would you fear phatom lancer? basicly warlock is the counter for him.

if you sue fatal bonds and hit the main one, all the images die pretty much :P

70 By Mlcloud 2008-06-23

Upheaval is also NOT useless. *pouts*

84% slow is something when you got a dpser chasing him.(AFTER he's running from the infernal stun)

69 By Mlcloud 2008-06-23

It depends on the game, to get Dagon or not. Refresher and Guinsoo's in a team game (with characters like axe, drow, ursa, etc, in your team) is plenty to win big fights. The bigger the fight, the better it is for Warlock ^_^.

Big-fight-sure-kill-combo:
open with Fatal bonds, Infernal, upheaval, guinsoo, (shadow word someone that needs healing/damage)refresher, fatal new heroes/units, infernal, upheaval, guinsoo... (another shadow word to finish...

two dagon works in place of guinsoo!
