Underlord Support Guide 6.88c

Underlord Support Guide Explained

Overview

Underlord is the newest released hero in DOTA. Although there were many questions rising about his abilities in the laning stages and in which role to play him in. According to my opinion, Underlord is one of the best Supports out there in the meta right now. I will not say that he is the best but he delivers the most out of the his abilities and items in the Support role.
