Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, is a ranged specialist hero from the Diablo universe.^[1]^[2]^[3] The Lord of Sin rules over a densely populated land of hell where both the greatest joys and despair, and the deepest depravities can be experienced. But it is never enough for Azmodan, who has set his eyes on the realm of Sanctuary.

Azmodan is a Summoner that can also deal high damage from far away.

Background[edit | edit source]

This section concerns content exclusive to Diablo universe.

Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, is one of the four Lesser Evils which make up the seven Great Evils. After the events of the Sin War, Azmodan, together with Belial, banished the Three to Sanctuary when they realized the Three were planning to break the pact Hell had made with Heaven. This began the time known as the Dark Exile. Shortly thereafter, a civil war broke out between the two Lesser Evils, which Azmodan quickly won. He has ruled Hell for the last 300 years to this day. He is also the ruler of the Realm of Sin in the Burning Hells.

During the Black Soulstone cinematic first revealed at Blizzcon 2011, it is revealed that it is Azmodan who is invading Sanctuary during the events of Diablo III. The reason is because he seeks the Black Soulstone, with which he intends to become "The Prime Evil"^[4].

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Azmodan is a Summoner that revels in long-range assaults and sieging. His abnormally large Health pool makes him difficult to take down despite limited mobility. Demon Lieutenant allows Azmodan to improve their immediate lane presence, or apply pressure to distant lanes, thanks to the Ability's global cast range.

Strengths[edit | edit source]

Outstanding sieging and waveclearing capabilities
Split-Pushing
Large Health pool
High damage dealing potential

Weaknesses[edit | edit source]

Large and relatively immobile; easy to body block
Very vulnerable to interruption
Limited team fight utility

Quotes[edit | edit source]

Main article: Azmodan/Quotes

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Azmodan was mentioned in Diablo (December 1996), but did not make an in-game appearance until Diablo III (May 2012).
Azmodan is voiced by David Sobolov.^[6]
Azmodan was one of the three heroes revealed at Gamescom 2014.^[7]
Azmodan is the largest hero in the game.
Azmodan is one of four demons in the game, the others being Diablo, The Butcher, and Mephisto.
One of Azmodan's gag quotes ("Nephalems and Woozles") refers to "Heffalumps and Woozles" from the Disney short, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (December 1968).
Despite being classified as a 'Lesser Evil', Azmodan is extremely powerful and has long warred with Diablo for dominance over the Burning Hells. Their rivalry eventually led Azmodan to stage a successful coup d'etat against Diablo, ending in Diablo's exile from the Burning Hells and beginning the events of the original Diablo game.
Azmodan was designed to match his reputation as a masterful (although overconfident) military commander and tactician of Hell. Although he went through many iterations on his individual abilities, Azmodan stayed a specialist hero during development. The developers made sure he would focus on pushing down enemy forts with summoned units, bombarding enemies from afar with siege abilities, or conscripting mercenary camps. They wanted to do Azmodan the justice of being powerful in his own right, strength that a true Lord of Hell would deserve. In Heroes of the Storm, Azmodan is certainly able to wade into the thick of battle himself: he's got more health than any other specialist currently, and his All Shall Burn ability is excellent for focused damage on enemy heroes and structures. Obviously Azmodan prefers going into battle with an army of minions and mercenaries at his back, but whatever the situation, he won't be going down without a fight.^[8]
Due to his size, Azmodan is limited to mounts he can stand on (such as Blackheart's Doubloon, Champion's Nexagon, Championship Banner, Hearthstone Card, Magic Carpet, Star Chariot, and Void Speeder).
