So I've been wanting to learn him for quite a while, but kept putting it off. Now is the time.

I've read a couple of the guides on here, but not sure how up to date they are, especially with the store update etc. So getting your guys' advice would benefit me more.

So building him is pretty basic magic, right? Poly, Rod, CDR Boots, Demonic Grip. Then stuff like Obsid Shard depending on opponent's builds?

For abilities, I should max 1 and 4 first? Then focus on 2 and then 3?

For his passive, I should be using Section 1 (heal) between waves if I have spare mana and fairly low health? Section 2 (mana refund on abilities) before waves if I don't need to heal, to increase his waveclear. Section 3 (+20% Mag power) doesn't seem incredibly useful. Section 4 (+35% Mag power contributes to basic attacks) for late-game?

Use his 1 for the front minions then clear the archers with AA's?

EDIT: Also, how does everyone else learn a new God? Especially Gods that aren't played much by streamers, so you don't get to see a good example.

Well before my PC took a dump on me, I was enjoying Chronos a lot and was my most recent god mastered I think.

Anyone could correct me on this if they have more knowledge on Chronos or anything but... A good idea is to use on the enemy if they are stunned by or any other CC. It has a small AoE so it is usually harder to hit. Not only that, it has a small delay so you have to aim a bit ahead of where they're going to be. Same with . I know of many people who don't even put more points into until later game since all it does is reduce the cooldown. Instead, they focus more on the damage from .

I start out with for some CC and then go ahead and max . Early game I would use for clearing minions waves then finish with auto attacks or . Early game, while using , you want to use Section I-III more for sustain and easier clear times. Late game, becomes pretty amazing with his basic attacks as well so people do the / combo, into Section IV and finish off with basic attacks. is useful for escapes/defensively or even offensively whether resetting your CD's, gaining some ground over the enemy for mana loss or both.

The items you listed are pretty much what I use about in a Chronos build. Some people like to build with since he's one of the few mages that are extremely fast and auto attack based.

I learn a new god by using him/her in 1v1 bots, practice arenas/jousts, and sometimes casual games.
