Skill Overview[]
- Death Boil - A damage over time spell its great for killing low health heroes since most people under estimate how much damage it does since it deals out over time.
- Unholy Shackles - A 5 second slow that puts most people at a stand still, great for peeling heroes off you or stopping runners. It also slows their attack speed so its even good in the middle of team fights.
- Life Void - This is by far your strongest spell if used right. At the start of the game it can be used to heal you to full health. It also combos well with any one who does magic damage since it decrease the targets magic armor.
- Summon Malphas - Giant AoE stun that also gives you a giant demon who can wreak havoc on towers. He has an aoe magic damage so throwing a life void down around him will heal you and increase his damage. This should be used at the start of a team fight to give your side the edge.

Gameplay[]
Early Game
You need to pick the skill build your going with. I suggest the offensive build unless your laning with a hero who does magic damage and will work with you as a team. No matter what build you go with you're going to want to wait until around level 3 to start spending your mana on spells. If your health goes half-way down just wait until to waves of creeps hit each other and cast Life Void on them it should heal you up to full.
Mid Game
By now you should be close to getting your Stormspirit if you don't already have it. The cyclone is great for disabling a hero long enough for you and some one else to get in position to kill them when they come out. You should be using Malphas to take down their towers and for team fights; you generally don't want to blow it to gank one person.
Late Game
You should have Posthaste and Stormspirit now as well as a few items for your Restoration Stone. Your team should be close to winning, losing or stalled. When you get it, you should use it to double ult at the start of a fight. Make sure you throw down Life Void, then use your disables however you feel it will best help your team.
Wrap Up[]
Hellbringer is a powerful hero if played correctly and is hard to master since he depends a lot on the heros on your team and choosing the correct build at the start of the game. Take the time to learn this hero inside and out and remember to experiment with the skill build and the item build.
