Hades Build

Notes Hades is a character that can constantly annoy the team with his fear and continue to stay on the battlefield by destroying lines of minions as long as they have the blight on them. Right off the bat you can destroy a whole line with the fear and pound move. Just making these moves come more often makes Hades deadly.

Start

I feel that starting with Chronos' Pendant is a great way to go. Good power and you get to make full use out of the 10 second perk so you can capitalize on your moves through out the match. Just being able to use your moves is often more important than them being strong.

Early planning

So again we want Hades to survive and do his moves often. His fear is one of my favorites as it cause dismay amongst the other team and by the end has a very short cool down. I love this green piece of armor, Genji's Guard. All the base stats on it are great and help Hades, but the 3 seconds off cooldown plays a big part. Again getting this early capitalizes on all the moves you can do through out the entire match. Most of the time you will likely play again 3 magic and 2 physical characters, just as the are favored more by players. In the case that their is only 2 or less magical characters I would forgo this piece as it wont be as effective. Just skip to the Magi Cloak and continue with that order and you will be able to decide what else to use at the end game. The magi cloak helps put an end to a lot of characters specials so you don't have worry about getting sucked in too much. This defensive build will turn you into a strong character that doesn't have to go back to the fountain all the time.
