HON: Armadon
Armadon could never forgive the humans who slaughtered his family and when peace was made between the two races, he continued a
private war of vengeance against mankind. Eventually his grief gave way to bloodlust and he fell into corruption, coming at last to serve
the Hellbourne. With his dense armored hide and great strength, he has little trouble bringing death to his hated foes.
Armadon is one of the best tanks in HoN, if not the best. With skills that give you crazy damage reduction, increased move speed and the
ability to slow your opponents he is without mistake one of the hardest heroes to kill when played properly. Therefore this guide is aimed
at playing him as a 'tank'.

SKILLS
1. Snot Storm
Range: 600
Mana Cost: 30
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds
Applies Sticky Snot to target for 5 seconds, adding one charge.
STICKY SNOT EFFECTS
20% movement slow
3/6/9/12% movement slow per charge
-1/-1/-2/-2 armor per charge
A great all in one skill. It helps slow chasing heroes, helps slow fleeing heroes and is good at pissing your opponents off. Best of all, it's spammable
at a measly cost of 30 mana.
2. Spine Burst
Radius: 650
Mana Cost: 35
Cooldown: 3 seconds
Deals 20/40/60/80 Physical damage and applies Spine Vulnerability to enemies in radius for 10 seconds. Adds one charge.
SPINE VULNERABILITY EFFECTS
30 Physical damage per charge
The damage stacks up incredibly fast when you're continuously casting it, or if you're taking a lot of damage. It's great for getting early game kills, and
getting last hits on creeps. Again, this skill is spammable as well.
3. Armordillo
Passive effect
ON DAMAGED
Reduces damage taken from real by 10/20/30/40% and from the sides by 5/10/15/20%.
Releases an extra Spine Burst whenever 300 total damage is received
This is the ability that makes the piggy so fun to play. With this skill at your disposal, you will be able to tank insane amounts of damage. Players
who are chasing Armadon too often underestimate this skill, and it will usually lead them to their own demise.
4. Restless
On ability activation - Applies Restless to self for 10 seconds. Adds one charge.
RESTLESS EFFECTS
+4/5/7% Movement speed
+1/2/3% Movement speed per charge
+25/30/35 Attack speed
+5/10/15 Attack speed per charge
The IAS bonus helps with the killing capabilities of Armadon. This skill is really useful with the chasing and escaping of heroes and ganks.

17-25) Stats
During level 5-9 the skill build is very flexible. The player must use their own discretion in game and see whether Spine Burst or Armordillo is more beneficial:
Leveling Spine Burst will be more beneficial when:
* You are dominating your lane
* There are lots of ganks happening
* You are not getting harassed that much
* Your move speed is high enough to keep up with the opponents
* You have mana to spare
* The opponents are a bit careless and you can capitalize on the opportunities
* You are up against passive players
Leveling Armordillo will be more beneficial when:
* You are being dominated in your lane
* You are facing heroes who have nukes/disables
* You're low on mana
* The opponents have a lot of regen / healing items
* If you find yourself at low amounts of HP
* You cannot catch up to your opponents if they run
* You are up against aggressive players
Early game - Why only 1 level in Snot Storm?
In the early game you should only use Snot Storm when it would make a difference in getting a kill or being killed. You should not use it on the enemy until mid-game
when you have the mana to do so. You will most likely not be chasing opponents that far passed the towers early on anyway, so it isn't as beneficial as leveling
Spine Burst or Armordillo.
Why get Restless at level 10?
All in all, it doesn't make much of a difference early on when Restless is learned. If you don't need Armordillo and you are leveling Spine Bursts then learn
Restless earlier. If you need Armordillo, delay it until level 10 as the damage reduction will be more beneficial than extra move speed if you are getting
harassed a lot.
