Azmodan, the old fat buddy that can pretty much destroy the lanes and start a push on his own. Well, there are two builds you can go for when playing Azmodan. But, I think that the pushing build is a lot stronger when you play ranked. I feel like having the power of the Generals and Demons is a lot better than going for the Laser build. I hope that this Azmodan Build Guide will help you understand him better.
Talking about two different playstyles, that’s what’s Azmodan’s two builds are. One for pushing, one for standing down the fights. However, sometimes players can go for the mix up, but I do not find that really good.
Azmodan Build Guide – Split push or Laser build?
Being a Ranged Specialist in Heroes of the Storm, Azmodan doesn’t look that weak. You’re probably thinking the opposite, but I will prove you that he’s a really good pick.
Now, let’s preview the split pushing build first.
| LEVEL | TALENT |
| 1 | “Sieging Wrath” ! Quest: Every time Glove of Annihilation hits a Hero, its damage is increased by 4, up to 100. ! Reward: After hitting 25 Heroes, the range of Globe of Annihilation is increased by 33% and its damage is increased by an additional 100.
|
| 4 | “Army of Hell” Increases Demon Warrior’s damage by 20% and reduces their Mana cost by 20%.
|
| 7 | “Bound Minion” Using General of Hell on a Minion grants them 75 Armor from non-Heroic sources, decreasing the damage they take by 75%, while also increasing the damage they deal to non-Heroic targets by 100%. Lasts 30 seconds.
|
| 10 | “Demonic Invasion” Rain a small army of Demonic Grunts down on enemies, dealing 104 damage per impact. Demon Grunts deal 51 damage and have 365 health.
|
| 13 | “Hellforged Armor” Demon Warriors deal 10 damage to nearby enemies every second and are granted 50 Armor against non-Heroic sources, decreasing the damage they take by 50%.
|
| 16 | “Demonic Smite” Every 7.5 seconds, the Demon Lieutenant will blast a non-Heroic unit dealing 411 damage.
|
| 20 | “Forced Recruitment” Reduces General of Hell’s cooldown by 10 second and gains an additional charge.

This build is all about controlling the lanes. This will also help your teammates in terms of capturing mercenaries, roaming around the map easier, capturing objectives etc… You will pressure the enemy team to defend a lot. It’s just the positioning you need to take care of.
If you get it right, you should do more than good. You can go for the Laser build with the lifesteal on it, but… I do not know if it’s going to help you a lot, honestly. If you’re enjoying fights, than you might want to go for that build. But, I personally prefer to go for this build and harass the enemy team as much as I can.
When they are pushed to go back, your teammates will be free to go around the map and capture all the left camps, get bosses or do the objectives more freely.
Perishing Flames usage
If you commit to split pushing, do not keep your heroic ability for the next team fight. Just use it whenever you can. You will bring towers down a lot faster. Even though a lot of players doesn’t like Azmodan at all because it’s boring to play, Azmodan can win games very easy.
That’s all about this build, I do not have anything else to say because we’re talking about a pushing build. Just do not forget, it’s all about the hard push and fast XP gain. Azmodan can manage to get XP really fast by just pushing his lane. Whenever there’s a fight or someones fighting for an objective, just pick the right lane and push it through. The enemies will be pushed to go back, just as I said.
I hope you’ll love this build. Go in the game, Try it, and let us know in the comments down below how was your game.
