‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎

Red Camp You start at the red buff (No. 1) with the adc, as mid you need to start with them and take the buff (the camp will appear at 20s after minions spawn), this will make you get to level 2 easier when clearing the first wave. Not getting level 2 at first wave (or not clearing the wave as fast as your opponent) can be very dangerous, exposing yourself against the enemy, so try to stay safe and ward the mid camp with the vision shard if you have the chance. Early Game Early game is very important, and the first waves (most of the time) are crucial to decide who will reach mid-game first, farming lane minions and jungle is the key but also rotations in the right moment are useful to help you and your team take objectives. First Wave After clearing the firsts waves, the junglers will come to mid, usually they go for the mid camp near them (No. 3), but you have to be careful for a possible gank, if not you can help the jungler to clear the mid camp, or go to clear the other xp camp (No. 4).

Farming As a midlaner, you got a lot of camps where you can farm pretty well, that's why sometimes movement speed is useful to farm and rotate faster. Make sure to have enough wards to control the camps, avoid ganks, and give the right calls to your team, something hard about mid lane is that is the most ganked lane, you can get ganked by everyone but mostly by the jungler or the support. Also, try to be with someone when clearing the jungle camps, if you don't have lifesteal or healing you can take a lot of poke from them.

Mid Game At this part of the game you already make a nice amount of damage, rotations are coming up and you have to stick with your team, you have to group to the first team fights, the winning team will get an objective, that can be a big scorpion, tower, a gold fury, a pyromancer or even the fire giant, make sure to stay in a safe place and try to make a high amount of damage to the enemy team. Try to always get all the camps available, it's important as a mage to get ahead on farming (but in the company of your support, you don't want to get caught alone).

Late Game At this moment mages can unleash all their power, you must stick with your support, he's the only one that can save you from being one-shotted, as long you are with your supp you should be able to do a great amount of damage to the enemy trying to focus the dangerous ones (adc, jungler, mid), team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match.

‏‏‎ ‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Purple (& Red) Camp You will start in the red buff (No. 1) with your mid while your supp is in the purple buff (No. 2), red buff appears 20s after minions spawn, and then go for your purple buff and grab it. The priority here is to clear the wave at the same time you're trying to poke the other adc, avoid being attack from the other team, if you clear the wave first you will get a lot of advantage in this fight. Early Game Duo lane depends on coordination when you want to attack someone always focus the same target. If you're not able to fight back, stay behind and farm until you can fight them (or wait for a gank from your jungler, there's nothing bad about not being able to win a 1v1 as long as you don't die), your supp leaving the lane is the best way to farm but you must be careful if the other supp is still there because you will instantly lose a 2v1 so play turtle, you might earn more xp and gold. Supports are used to leave the lane when they're level 5-10, you can make use of their ults before they leave or just enjoy the farm.

First Wave After clearing the firsts waves, the junglers will come to mid, usually they go for the mid camp near them (No. 3), but you have to be careful for a possible gank, if not you can help the jungler to clear the mid camp, or go to clear the other xp camp (No. 4).

‏‏‎Mid Game You will have a lot of near camps to farm, with some lifesteal and attack speed you won't have trouble clearing them, even if you don't have lifesteal you can kill a lane scorpion (No. 5) or (No. 8) to heal you 210 hp (wait for 10 ticks of heal), you can rotate or help your team to kill an objective, that can be a tower, a gold fury, a pyromancer or even the fire giant (there's always the option to split push and take towers, but is situational) If the only way is to defend and the enemy team is far from you, you can take down that tower. Remember to ward your lane to avoid ganks and secure your push.

Late Game Stick with your support, he's the only one that can save you from being one-shotted, as long you are with your supp you should be able to do a great amount of damage to anyone, you can attack the first one is in front of you but prioritize the strongest enemy or god your team is focusing, team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match, always put your life before others, the adc is the one who can easily kill phoenix or fire giant.

‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎

There's just a few mages that can be solo laners, warriors are pretty strong but mages can be as good as them, it may lose sometimes their early pressure and a frontliner who can start fights. However, some mages can still work if you play them well. Early Game As a mage you may have the same push as a warrior in the first wave, being ranged helps you to do the first totem quickly and that benefits your teammates a lot, when being level 2 to level 4 you may be losing pressure, but you have a strong ultimate that can make you beat the lane, you have to play smart and avoid getting caught by the early pressure of your opponent. Mid Game It is time to help your team, and make use of that high farm you got from your lane, before that you should try to kill the enemy tower so you can rotate with no worries form your lane, you can leave your tower, it is a tier 1 tower, it only gives 75g to the team, it's more important to win the next team fight and kill an objective, make sure to gank the squishies and secure the kill or annoy them.

Late Game You should be careful because you can get shredded if you don't have enough tanky items, you must focus on distracting or try to kill the adc or mid who are the ones that make dmg on their team, team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match, killing the adc or mid make your work worthy, if you're taking an objective and there are strong enemies alive you must watch the zone of the jungle, looking for enemies and stop to avoid an objective steal.

Recommended Build

This section is a suggestion if you're not acquainted (if you want a more specific build for your god, every god has its recommended build down below), I considered what was the best option for every god, optional items are the ones that can be bought if you don't like (or just want to swap) and item in the build, you can change the order you get them, an example is Divine Ruin, where you want to counter healer gods, you should get it as 3rd or 4th item, another example is to change similar items like getting Soul Gem instead of Spear of Desolation for more sustain without losing coldown.
It is recommended to get Shoes of the Magi or Shoes of Focus before finishing the starter item. As summary I'll put 5 simplified builds for 5 types of mages (the 7th item is when you sell your shoes):
‏‏‎ ‎

Basic Mage (Standard Build) ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏ This is the standard build, if you don't know what to build this is a good example for good damage base/penetration//cooldown (you can upgrade your starter for Pendulum of Ages). ‏‏‎ ‎ Healthy Mage (High Health Build) ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ This build is for mages that got easily exposed with their abilities, like Baron Samedi, Hades, and Zhong Kui (you can upgrade your starter for Blood-Soaked Shroud or Sacrificial Shroud). ‏‏‎ ‎ Mana Burst (Bookworm Build) ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ Even if I don't recommend very much this build, if you want to buy the book of thoth you can do it for mages with one shot combos and mages that need a lot of mana such as Scylla, Nu Wa, Ra and Kukulkan (you can upgrade your starter for Archmage's Gem or Gem of Focus). ‏‏‎ ‎ Magical Vampire (Lifesteal Build) ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ This build is for Anubis or any other mage you want to build full lifesteal (you can upgrade your starter for Blood-Soaked Shroud or Sacrificial Shroud). ‏‏‎ ‎ Attack Speed (ADC build) ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ This build is for mages adc like Freya, Chronos, and Olorun (you can upgrade your starter for Death's Embrace).

‏‏‎ ‎

Counterpicks

This is only a suggestion in rankeds, when they pick before you, you can get a counterpick, is not really a hard counter sometimes but like the title says you may be "strong against" them like Poseidon being a counter for everyone with dash or leaps. This suggestion means that maybe it is not the best option to pick a god if someone of that list is in the other team, also there's a few gods that are very op right now and I didn't put them in the weak against section because that would be spamming the same thing, so here you have:
‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎

Agni ()

Stats Health: 360(+71) Mana: 255(+45) Speed: 355(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+1.2%) Basic Attack Damage: 34(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 11(+2.6) Magical: 29(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.47) Mp5: 4.7(+0.37) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Agni is a standard mage with a decent clear, he has a safe escape and his ult gives him a constant damage from a safe distance, plus his stun is good against assassins trying to chase him or burst to anyone.
Combo Chain: Rain Fire, Noxious Fumes, Flame Wave.


Agni can play defensive or offensive, has a normal clear, he benefits from item effects from all his kit including his 1( Noxious Fumes).
The first wave you can survive well, plus your cc can help your jungler to make an easy kill, his ult is not fast or strong enough to have an excellent objective secure so you have to calculate the damage if you want to secure a gold/pyro/fire.
In team fights your stun is essential and you can poke so many times as you want and dash backward when you're in danger, Path of Flames makes you immune to knock-ups while dashing. You have a lot of range so try to stay always behind your support spamming your ult.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‎

Ah Puch ()

Stats Health: 400(+75) Mana: 265(+55) Speed: 365(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.86(+0.95%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 9(+2.7) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.47) Mp5: 4.7(+0.37) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Ah Puch has a decent clear but he's not one of the strongest mages right now, he doesn't have escape and he's very vulnerable, however, his abilities applies 100% of antiheal making him strong against a healer composition. Unfortunately, he has no escape and he's so easy to kill, you have to play very carefully if you want to pick him.
Combo Chain: Undead Surge, Corpse Explosion, Fleeting Breath.


Ah Puch is weak against some mages, but he has a lot of utility in team fights, his antiheal is very useful and his ult makes him have a safe zone for a while.
He can clear very well once he has Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion, but he has a lot of mana issues, he runs out of mana so easily and he doesn't have escape making him vulnerable to assassins and warriors.
His ult is good to fear the enemy away from a zone, this can become handy killing objectives, but he needs to stick to his support or he can get killed.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‎

Anubis ()

Stats Health: 380(+70) Mana: 280(+58) Speed: 360(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.86(+0.99%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 10(+2.5) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.45) Mp5: 4.8(+0.36) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Anubis has one of the best early clears if he get plagues of locusts first, but it is more safety to have Grasping Hands first, he may lack of AoE damage at late game (compared to other mages), but if you take advantage at early game you won't have so much trouble.
Combo Chain: Grasping Hands, Mummify, Plague of Locusts or Death Gaze.


Anubis is very good at clearing waves, jungle camps and doing burst damage to an objective, the problem is that he can only focus 1 person at a time, plus his abilities expose him by standing still for a while when casting his abilities and he can't secure objectives.
Anubis has a good sustain and a good pressure in the lane, he can rekt junglers with Mummify], but he needs a supp to babysit him with high cc as Khepri or ***bha.
You need to play aggressive if you want to take advantage with Anubis, make sure you're playing with a super aggressive jungler to chase down enemies, and a supp that can protect you most of the time from enemies abilities, if you do it well, you will shred any enemy in the match. Make sure to focus on the strongest gods with your burst damage.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Ao Kuang ()

Stats Health: 400(+82) Mana: 240(+38) Speed: 375(+0) Range: 12(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+1.95%) Basic AttackDamage: 35(+2.4) +20% of Magical Power Progression: 1/0.5/0.5/1x damage, 1/0.5/0.5/0.5x speed Protection Physical: 12(+3) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 10(+0.7) Mp5: 4.8(+0.41) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Ao Kuang lacks early game, but once he's farmed he can be unstoppable, he can shred tanks and one shot squishies. The hardest part of playing him is getting to late game.
Combo Chain: Dragon Call, Wild Storm, basic attacks.


Ao Kuang is a strong jungler, he cannot compete with the early pressure of some assassins, but he can hit harder once he's ahead, to make that happen you have to play carefully until you have your ult. Your ult King of the Eastern Seas has an execute threshold of 30% of health. When you have ult the best lane to gank first is the duo lane, most of the time they're in the middle of the lane and the tower is far away, with some cc from your support you can execute someone and come down fast if your team is in trouble for a counter gank.
Ganking the solo lane is also a good idea, if your solo is in a long fight and they're below 50% health you can come and slow them with Dragon Call and make enough dmg to execute before they can run.
Once you're in the late game, you're farmed and your build is done or almost done, it is time for the real fights, but don't get so cocky, make sure to have a Magi's Cloak or something that can save you from hard cc, if you come up and get stunned, probably you're already dead and did nothing about it, you must dive when they're distracted, save your bubble for a cc hit, and harass the helpless one if you can execute someone do it and you're safe.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Aphrodite ()

Stats Health: 803(+68) Mana: 240(+43) Speed: 355(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.87(+0.95%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.45) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 9(+2.7) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 6(+0.45) Mp5: 4.8(+0.41) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Aphrodite is a strong healer with a lot of survivability, she's very easy to play as mid, solo and support, she brings a lot in team fights.
Combo Chain: Kiss, Love Birds, Back Off!.


Aphro doesn't work well if she had nobody near to kiss, so you have to make sure you're gonna survive by yourself, getting defensive items are justifiable for her, still I recommend to get high damage build with one or two defense items.
If your opponent has antiheal and you're going to ult, your ult also makes you immune to all negative effects including antiheal, so you can use Love Birds while ulting to heal you well. When you upgrade Undying Love, the duration will be longer making it easier to use it on multiple gods, during your ult if you Kiss another ally, it will transfer the rest of the ult.
The whole kit of Aphrodite works better if you stick to someone, try to always kiss the support of the jungler, adc and solo (if you're playing mid) always have a way to heal themselves, if you're playing solo you can peel the carries as well, bringing a lot of support to teamfights at late game, plus the movement speed helps a lot your jungler to chase the enemies.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Baba Yaga ()

Stats Health: 400(+73) Mana: 280(+50) Speed: 365(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.96(+1%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 12(+2.7) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 8(+0.5) Mp5: 5(+0.6) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Baba is a very fun god to play and has a strong late game, if you know how to play her you can beat any other mage, but she's very vulnerable in her ult and her early game is not that strong since you may have to start stacking.
Combo Chain: Wild Witchcraft, Baba's Brew, Home Sweet Home.


She has a very weak clear, but she can do very high damage with her 2, I recommend to level up first Wild Witchcraft to not lose pressure in the lane. Another good option is to start with Baba's Brew and keep upgrading your 1st ability.
Always try to save the potion with more dmg or slow, once cast your Baba's Brew, just press right-click to save that potion, if you have one already press 2 again to switch to your previous potion.
Blast Off! is a very op escape since it is a leap and you're knock-up immune while casting, use it wisely. Only use Home Sweet Home when you have a good vision of your enemies, try to wait when they're together or with low mobility since your ult is pretty slow to hit.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Baron Samedi ()

Stats Health: 380(+80) Mana: 300(+44) Speed: 360(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.9(+0.8%) Basic Attack Damage: 34(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 18(+2.6) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.6) Mp5: 5(+0.45) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Baron Samedi is a strong character that can be very supportive for his team due to all his kit benefits his allies or debuff the enemy. He has a nice sustain, the best lane you can play with him is the solo lane, but in mid lane is good as well.
Combo Chain: Wrap It Up, Consign Spirits, Vivid Gaze.


Recently Baron got a buff on his 1 Vivid Gaze make him faster to clear the first waves, he can poke well the enemy team and punish them for not having a good sustain as Baron. The strength with Baron is to constantly pull your enemies in your tower, even if not you still have a lot of cc to punish your opponent.
In team fights his cc and his slow immunity becomes very helpful for his teammates, he's slippery and can run from enemies very easily.
With the 20% extra power from Hysteria you can do very high damage to tanks, even when you defensive items in your build.
As Baron, you want to always be near to your allies to support them with your abilities.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Chang'e ()

Stats Health: 410(+80) Mana: 310(+48) Speed: 355(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+0.95%) Basic Attack Damage: 32(+1.45) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 11(+2.7) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 6(+0.45) Mp5: 5.5(+0.44) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Chang'e is a good AoE damage mage god, the problem with her is the low range she has. She can still have a lot of pressure against mage due to her facility to avoid incoming damage.
Combo Chain: Waxing Moon, Crescent Moon Dance, Moonflower Dance, Crescent Moon Dance.


Chang'e Crescent Moon Dance has a nice early clear due to its low cooldown, once you get mana or mp5 in your build you don't need to back to base so often.
You can escape easily from enemy gods with Moonlit Waltz or Waxing Moon, your heal and your cc make you useful in team fights.
Moonlit Waltz have a very high cooldown at tier 1, so you may don't wanna go out without it, don't play aggressive if you don't have that ability ready to avoid an ult.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎

Discordia ()

Stats Health: 400(+75) Mana: 240(+42) Speed: 360(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+0.8%) Basic Attack Damage: 34(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 11(+2.9) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.48) Mp5: 4.4(+0.44) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Discordia is a decent character, her specialty comes in team fights and the great amount of AoE damage she can deal.
Combo Chain: Strife, Unruly Magic, Golden Apple of Discord.


Discordia is a simple combo goddess, her combo is strong at late game, and Strife is good to cancel enemy attacks and distract them to make your team chase them.
Cooldown reduction is key to Discordia, the soon you have your abilities the best you punish your opponents, she's one of the few mages with a leap and that's useful against player made walls and AoE abilities. She also becomes cc immune while casting her ult.
Unruly Magic is really good to clear camps if you hit the monsters with all the minor damage orbs, with a good of amount of cooldown you won't have any problem farming, also Erratic Behavior helps you to avoid being targeted or dodge projectiles, you can use it aggressive to spamming your abilities to deal a high amount of damage.


‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Freya ()

Stats Health: 405(+80) Mana: 220(+37) Speed: 370(+0) Range: 12(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.95(+1.95%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 14(+2.8) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 7(+0.52) Mp5: 4.5(+0.9) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Freya is another mage that can perform well as adc, she has a good sustain at early game and a strong base damage.
Combo Chain: Irradiate, Pulse, basic attacks.


Freya is super strong at boxing enemies, but she lacks clearing the wave, she needs a supp with a good clear, she can't get off enemies easily with Banish and avoid damage or chase kills with Valkyrie's Discretion.
When you're fighting make sure of certain things, check the cooldown of your abilities, don't wanna be betrayed by a bad timing losing your ranged attack or when casting your ult, you can still get damage while rising.
Freya fits well in an aggressive composition, she has a decent early game and super strong late game.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Hades ()

Stats Health: 475(+85) Mana: 265(+53) Speed: 365(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.95(+1.05%) Basic Attack Damage: 32(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 18(+2.6) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 5(+0.54) Mp5: 5(+0.36) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Hades is a tanky mage, due to his sustain and protections you see him more in the solo lane, as mid laner is only good against no escape/cc immune abilities mages.
Combo Chain: Death From Below, Shroud of Darkness, Devour Souls, basic attack, Pillar of Agony.


Hades has a strong clear, cc and sustain making him a strong early character, his kit can be useful in mid lane but fits better in the solo lane, I'll be talking about Hades as a solo laner but as a counter pick can also work in the middle lane.
As a level 1 hades you only have Devour Souls to clear the wave, it looks kinda weak but if you basic attack most of the minions (and maybe the enemy god) you'll clear the wave very fast for the bonus damage of Blight. Being a range god will make it easier to be the first one killing the totem since it only takes a few basic attacks to kill it.
As a tanky god, your ult is very useful to trap squishes into your ult, if you rotate to make sure they don't have beads or escape in cooldown and you will shred them, Pillar of Agony makes you super tanky and deal a lot of damage.
You may want to get a hybrid build, and if you're scared about late game being shredded by an adc, then pick shield of thorns to upgrade as the second relic, it grants 50% lifesteal reduction and if you have some antiheal it'll be perfect to avoid them attacking you.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

He Bo ()

Stats Health: 400(+67) Mana: 298(+56) Speed: 355(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.86(+0.9%) Basic Attack Damage: 34(+1.45) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 9(+2.6) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 6(+0.45) Mp5: 4.9(+0.4) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

He Bo is a very god that can be played as mid, solo or jungler, he's immunity to slow and ult makes him very safe against ganks in the middle lane.
Combo Chain: Waterspout, Water Cannon, Crushing Wave.


He Bos' Water Cannon has a very low cooldown, it helps him to get an advantage on level 1 in the solo lane or the middle lane, in the jungle you may want to get a HoG. In the early game, you have normal clear and you can farm very well.
You can shred a squishy with the full combo and kill someone in 2 seconds, but be careful using Crushing Wave, try not to be exposed at the end of the ult.
In teamfights, if you get a composition that pulls the enemy team in one place you can one-shot them easily or a team composition that's good at chasing enemies. I recommend getting health items with He Bo since you're a vulnerable glass cannon.


‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Hel ()

Stats Health: 410(+67) Mana: 300(+57) Speed: 355(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 0.86(+0.9%) Basic Attack Damage: 33(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 9(+2.6) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 5(+0.43) Mp5: 5(+0.45) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Hel is the strongest mage healer, she has a nice clear and she punishes a lot of mages, plus her heals in team fights and her cc immune area makes she so op.
Combo Chain: Hinder, Decay, Repulse, Switch Stances Restoration.


Hel always had a problem, she runs out of mana quickly, but thanks to the new Restored Artifact and the Totem of Ku, she's back now. Once you're level 2 your clear is very fast and you can start to poke your enemy, but careful you can get killed if you don't watch out.
In mid-game when team fight starts you're very useful to make your allies stay in a fight longer, and take advantage. You have to determinate if you'll attack or stay behind healing your teammates, if you're playing Hel you need to get a super aggressive jungler and adc, meanwhile, the solo and supp must have a lot of cc because you will need a lot of peel, you'll be the center of attention.
You have to stay always behind from your teammates, if you have a chance attack'em you make a lot of dmg as Hel, you can help your team to chase kills since you have a little sprint Inspire, AoE slow Hinder and cc immune Cleanse if you allies are vulnerable.

Combo Chain: Argus, the Defender, Divine Shroud, Polymorph, Royal Assault.


Hera is a standard mage that mage, she has a shield fo herself that can be very tanky and a polymorph, making her a very safe pick, plus Argus, the Defender can tank in fights letting her being aggressive with her abilities, she has decent cooldown on her kit plus her passive Commanding Presence.
I'm team fights is like having another frontliner or support in your team, also it can be a scapegoat while your allies are recovering or they're being targeted by the other team. Just try not to play offensive until you have Argus ready and you'll be fine, you can poke as well with your 2 Polymorph.

Isis ()

Stats Health: 365(+68) Mana: 280(+51) Speed: 360(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+0%) Basic Attack Damage: 35(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: 1/1/1.5x damage and swing time, hitting in a 6ft AoE on the final blow Protection Physical: 9(+2.7) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 6(+0.45) Mp5: 4.8(+0.43) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Isis is a good choice, she has a really excellent objetive secure ult that heals by a great amount all her teammates.
Combo Chain: Spirit Ball, Wing Gust, Dispel Magic, Circle of Protection.


Isis has a nice clear in waves, she has 2 cc abilities that prevents early ganks pretty well and the fact she doesn't have backpedal penalty while casting Wing Gust (+knock back and root immunity).
In team fights she's great, circle of protections and Funeral Rites grants a lot of benefits for her team, she can only be countered by another high cc god that can dodge her stun and silence, you can use your ult to kill secure but it is better if you save it for objectives, you can do both with the proper cooldown.
You might use your ult to secure kills, but is pretty good to secure objectives, since it gives you 20% in the circle, heal your teammates, and you decide when to detonate the ult, and if you're going to secure a jungle boss, cast your ult when the boss has 35-50% health, depending on how much damage you're dealing and how fast are you going to burn it.

Janus ()

Stats Health: 400(+70) Mana: 350(+58) Speed: 360(+0) Range: 55(+0) Attack/Sec: 1(+0.8%) Basic Attack Damage: 34(+1.5) +20% of Magical Power Progression: None Protection Physical: 8(+2.6) Magical: 30(+0.9) Regen Hp5: 6(+0.45) Mp5: 5(+0.45) *Numbers in parentheses are the amount gained at each level *Hp5/Mp5 means Health/Mana per 5 seconds

Janus is a fast god that can help his team to move trought the jungle faster, his ult can secure objetives and start team fights.
Combo Chain: Threshold, Portal, Unstable Vortex.


Janus can be very powerful sometimes, but his problems is that there's a lot of picks that can beat him in the middle, however, Janus can't fail that easily, Unstable Vortex is very safe if you use it at max range, once you max that you can max Threshold for more mobility, that will help you to farm faster and prevent the enemy to steal your jungle (also the movement speed will be applied to your allies).
His ult can be very handy to secure and objective, to snipe a kill or to start a team fight, Janus can rotate very fast to lanes becoming very helpful to his teammates. If you receive a decent peel you won't have to worry at all.
If the enemy jungle doesn't have hard cc you can run pretty well from them.
