The Apotheosis Blade is a powerful weapon in the lore of Dota 2.
Description[]
This Apotheosis Blade is the flaming sword of Lucifer himself, forged out of steel.[1] As its name suggests, this wicked blade was forged to fulfill a single purpose: to allow the wielder to kill a god and assume their power.[2] It is wreathed in the same fires that were used to brand Lucifer's wings six and sixty-six times until they were reduced to smoking stumps.[3]
Notable Users[]
Heroes[]
Doom wields the Apotheosis Blade by default. It's not explicitly said, but the similar appearance of the Apotheosis Blade and his default sword should be proof enough.
- Lucifer inflicts ghastly and lethal wounds with the Apotheosis Blade, simultaneously burning and slicing them.[4][5][6] It is so hot that his victims are cauterized by its blows.[7]
- The flames of Doom's sword depend on his current state. When he grows stronger, its fire flares up.[8] But when he dies, it loses its flame, becoming a cold piece of steel.[9]
- The Apotheosis Blade with its anti-divine powers may have been made out of his envy and defiance against the gods themselves.[10][11]
- Since it is now safely kept in the Burnt Hall of Weeping Rose, it's implied that the sword was taken from him in an unknown event.
