Gameplay
“Be still your beating heart.”
During the plague outbreak, a mysterious priest with a penchant for dark magic named Rotund'jere was promoted to the rank of Cardinal thanks to the sudden deaths of all the high priests. While the other members of the order set out to join hands to stop the plague, the newly ordained cardinal lurks inside Rumusque's Basilica, busy plotting a plan to plunder the fortunes of the nobles. dying here. He promised to give them rewards in the afterlife if they agreed to hand over the earthly inheritance to him.
As the pandemic receded and was confined to a few places, his actions began to attract the attention of the high priests. They convicted him of heresy and sentenced him to hard labor in the plague-ridden region, and imbued him with spells to ensure that he would slowly languish in the disease. But the priests did not take into account his innate immunity. Rotund'jere contracted the disease, but instead of killing him, the plague nourished his powers, transforming him into a complete plague of magicians, a Plague Pope. Naming himself Necrophos, he traveled the world, spreading plagues wherever he went. With every village that was destroyed by plague, his terrible power multiplied.

Tips & Tactics
General
At the first level, when you go to the lane, get 1 heartstopper aura (W) first to enjoy the light but highly effective job of poking the enemy's blood, as long as you stand in one place without hitting, the opponent has already. After losing all the blood, they will be very inhibited when tango with healing salve keeps going (not to mention you hit, creeps attack) then max Death pulse (Q) and Sadist (E) to get can stay in the lane, exchange moves aggressively, create favorable conditions to plug Reaper's Scythe (R) into the enemy's head, why it dies with that skill is an extra 30 seconds of extremely annoying counting.
Heartstopper aura (W) is maxed out last because in the mid and late game this skill is fully effective because the enemy's health is already quite good, just a few seconds of combat and you can Can build a large amount of blood, not like going lane (in lane, the trigger time is very long, so just 1 skill level is enough). Ultimate will of course get the correct level.
