Hi, firstly this is my first guide, and my name is Thanax. Don't spam with me friend invites.
Now, since that's out of the way, lets get down to business. I've been playing Bakasura for a good bit, and I played him a whole lot before the playerstats thing came out. He's broken. Know that if you play him right you win. Almost all the time. Your main objective with Bakasura is to allow a teammate to solo lane for the most part while you support him from the jungles. Now, there may already be a guide for Baka out there, but this is my personal adaptation of his gameplay.
Let the brainfilling commence.
Scores upcoming once I get back into the game, currently shipping out into the Navy.
|
Pros:+ Strong AD Presence + Heavy sustain + Good mobility + Reliable damage + True damage + Good pusher with his Ult if needed + AMAZING Carry if fed + Good for last hitting |
|
Cons:- Squishy early - Relies heavily on teammate CC early - Somewhat poor initiator - No Mana =/= Death if you're caught - Ult is lacking in damage - Relies on farm without kills |
Items you buy:

Key Bind: Passive Bakasuras attack speed increases by 4% for each enemy that he kills. The buff lasts for 10 seconds and can stack up to 5 times. |

Key Bind: 2 Bakasura grabs a minion and devours it, healing himself for 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+100% of your physical power) and gaining a 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% movement speed buff for 5 seconds. Buff wielding minions must be at 33% health to be consumed. Up to 6 minions are stored for Regurgitate. Cost: 75 mana. Cooldown: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 s. |
When playing in Solo be sure to do two things:
Make sure picking Baka fits what your team needs, and be sure to learn what works best with Bakasura as a Solo Lane type thing. Preferably magic damage with light or heavy CC. You can carry with that. Slows/Stuns/Walls/Knockbacks/Flips or anything of that nature stack on with the Bakasura Physiology. They literally make your stomach grumble less. You just EAT whatever is in front of you. No discrimination. Sorry for the teamkills.
When choosing your partner make sure that he/she knows what he/she is doing with their God. If you see a Ymir who just started the game, don't go balls deep. Go Shaft-Tickle. Let him get a feel for the gameplay of that God or of another God and allow him sufficient room to let you make love to his skillset. Don't invite him/her to dinner, as you eat everything. That's plain rude and best avoided if you can do so.
A really good tip is to wait until everyone else picks to be sure of what you're picking. Be the Role Filler. 6/10 times you get your way if you want an AD Support/Jungle. Most people dislike playing this as they like to summon Sky Lazers. (Yes Ra I'm looking at you.)
If your god is taken, just do something else. No need to get your panties bunched up.
People who work really well with
:
Sobek |
|
Sobek has a ton of sustain and can provide a lot of damage by himself. He will give you kills if you give him assistance. Gank this lane often unless the opposition has a heavy combo. Be sure to jungle and then farm this lane as well. You will not be able to gank other lanes early, but this lane will provide a lot of gold for you if played correctly. If he grabs Creeping Curse first you will need to grab Girdle of Might. |
Specific God Strategies:
(Color coded based on difficulty, green being easy, yellow being moderate, red being difficult, purple being impossibru.)
(Also this is with tanks and special cases.)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
SobekGod of the Nile Sobek is one of the more annoying gods to play with for his simplistic ability to disrupt, annoy, change positioning, and do a ton of damage in a mobile fashion. The key to him is knowing how he flips you, how he can disrupt your style of play, and how to counter his all-around annoyance factor. If you don't pay attention to him, he will DESTROY you. |

YmirFather of the Frost Giants Ymir is just one of those guys. You squint your eyes at him in lane, if he's smart, he'll force you into wasting your only escape, and wall you off right as you land, and then freeze your demon butt. You can't avoid it, but if he's ******ed, he'll use the wall in your face and try and freeze into it. When he's ulting, jump right as it blows onto his head. No damage taken, learn the timing. Aside from this, get beads, jump out, or kill him fast enough to the point where you no longer have to worry about the fuzzy wanker. Overall, watch it. He will screw with you. If he's bad, he TASTES like a SNOWCONE. Any flavor. If he's good, you taste like chicken. |

Guan YuThe Saint of War This guy, know as A$$hole Guan, to most people, pardon my money language. He will be IN YOUR FACE...ALL THE TIME. You would have him so far down your throat it would be like ******** with Ron Jeremy. I mean, you can TRY and bite but it's just TOO THICK. The only good time to screw him over is like, ugh. It's hard to say, he has a HEAL, a DASH, he can gain stats EASILY, and he has a STUPID LONG RANGE ULT. This is the kind of guy who, when it gets tough, he gets going, in the other direction, either in your butt or in the enemy team saying SAVE ME! (So Chinese if you ask me...) He is effective in groups. By himself, not so much. Just kill his partner, he's taking viagra, cialis, and amphetamines, just like...he can't KILL you by himself, but his partners can certainly do it. Positioning is key. Overall, just figure out how he thinks, fight him as if you were him. |

VamanaFifth Avatar of Vishnu Vamana is a skill god. If you see him playing a certain way be sure to stay out of his way, and by that I mean if he's killing either your lane partner constantly, and you can't stop it, or your team, similar circumstances, avoid at all costs. He will rape your face, he has better upfront sustain, a better slowing mechanism, a better AoE, and a better escape. The only thing that separates the Vamana's from the Baka's is the early game. Your damage is WAY higher than his early, abuse it. If you do, you win. Be sure to note how he's building to know whether or not to avoid or ignore him. Fulltank = ignore him. DPS Hybrid = Be Wary. DPS = Run. |

AresThe God of War He is annoying, much like irritable bowels syndrome. He will sit there, and annoy you out of lane. He won't flat out kill you unless you're ******ed. Based on the new cripple system, you need Beads when he's in the game, not Creeping Curse. His ultimate is now ******ed as well, but those chains man. The best strategy for fighting him is killing his partner before he starts to go HC mode. If you can dodge his chains by baiting them, he's useless for like 10 seconds. Avoid engaging him head on, he will win, you can't out sustain a punch to the groin, anus, and left eyeball at once. Three chains man. Be sure to know how his partner works before engaging them head on unless your partner is overall better, like Ymir, Ao Kuang, or Sobek/Hercules. These guys counter this d-bag. |

HerculesThe Champion of Rome This dude. Ugh. The amount of CC he can pump out isn't really viable for Beads, nor is Creeping curse going to stop him. His team is a different story. If they have high CC, base it off of that, if they don't creeping curse will stop the rest of them, or well, slow them. Whatever. Back to Herc. He will either flip you, or push you, or both. When this does occur, eat something. His ally is most likely a damage dealer or caster, or a combination. Be sure to juke his ******ed pull, and if it's an Anubis or something, run around them point blank, they usually have to turn REALLY quickly with their ults and they miss more than half, herc can help by pushing you all over the place. Overall, let your teammate jump in first, and then hop in afterwords. |

CupidGod of Love Artemis 2.0. The new Cripple effect is just overpowered on his ultimate and you can't outsustain him in lane, and he has a much better escape than you do. Only hard CC at early levels with a friend can even come close to denying him an apparently early game. This is a hard opponent, but easily crushed if caught. Positioning is key, like Key Sword. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
LokiThe Trickster decoyaimed strike This is what you should hear when you see him: OMNOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM OMNOM "I'm over her-OH MY GO-*gurgle gurgle*" "*Buuuurp* Just making room for YOU." You win. You are everything he is, but a lot better in terms of direct damage. A clever Loki (Rare Lokimon) will juke you and juke you and juke you. All you have to do is cone attacks when he stealths near you, pop the ult hide in the minions and start crunch spamming. Loki loses from a slight distance and barely missing due to AoE's. Just...it's so easy. He will occasionally kill you, but you win 70% of the time. |

ArtemisGoddess of the Hunt transgressors fate You know that face when you saw Loki? It's like that, but like....add flames, a troll, a dragon, all on your side, and a giant hot dog stand on the other side. That's Artemis. If he's good, just be patient, if he's bad, he's a hot dog stand. We all know how Baka is with food. Proceed. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
PoseidonGod of the Oceans You know that face with Loki? (Scroll up if you havent seen it) Just.... he has no escapes. He is USELESS till lategame. Eat. Him. Mortal Kombat has NOTHING on how brutally you are about to pull out his spine, rape him with it, eat it, then rape him. Nothing. On. It. His ult will be problematic only for a short period of time. You can easily single him out, avoid getting caught in Whirlpool, it has the Cripple effect. Overall, eat. |

BacchusGod of Wine If he's good, you're boned. Now, lets say otherwise, lets just THEORIZE, it's more of a high skillcap to be BAD with him than good. When he finishes burping, **** on him. If his partner is bad, **** on them first. Bacchus can wait. The only thing I can tell you is to let your teammate lead you in this, and help out other lanes. Try to avoid him in general in teamfights unless he's the threat. Aside from that, kill his teammates. He's one of those guys you just can't kill fast enough. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ao KuangDragon King of the Eastern Seas Graceful Winds squallslithertornadoes spirit's tempest Ok so. What do we know about Ao Kuang so far? He's long range. He has AoE's, he has a speed buff, and he can slow. Also a huge line knocback, how about just a linebacker. Whatever. Tons of damage, small amount of time if you're smart, don't let him get the upper hand. You may not encounter him often, but when you do he has to be HARD CC'd to kill him easily. Aside from that, you have to either poke him out of your lane, or just die to him and his boyfriend. Just remember, you only get blown away if you get too close ;_; If he's bad, disregard everything I just said and enjoy dragon dinner. |

He BoGod of the Yellow River Flood Waters You're boned. Lets say you live longer than 3 minutes in his vicinity, unlikely but lets theorize. Between levels 1-3 he has a few options, which you can abuse either way. Ok. So, at level one, he doesn't have his river. You can kill him with Creeping Curse and a friend. At level two, he has either River/Knockup or Knockup/Blastoise-imitations, also known as Water Cannon, anywho, as soon as he hits 3 to 5, you have an even less window, from level 5 on, you're so boned. Hard CC is the only counter. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
AgniGod of Fire path of flame Why are you in a lane with this guy? Ok. So. Analyze. Super long range, mixed with high poke amounts combined with a stun and copious amounts of escape. Guess what though, you're flammable. If you're fighting Agni, prepare for trouble, make it triple. ALL of his abilities are painful. All of them. Aside from his walking, that is an ability. Be sure to hard CC him and kill him before he comes to, he hurts. He hurts so much. You're basically gasoline by yourself, with a friend at least you have SOME blowback. Same theory of approach with He Bo. |

Left Lane:
You should start either left or right. What you need to do on left is the following:
Minor Harpies, eat the big one @ 30% health and kill the smaller ones. Don't ask for assistance, you're Bakasura for God's Sake (See what I did there?). After you finish with those, you should already have a Healing Potion running. That will provide easy sustain. Immediately attack the blue harpy and Hand of the Gods it down. Eat it quickly and have another potion running. This will allow you to be around level three in lane while they're still level one. As soon as your partner has some CC ready, or your enemies can't do very well in terms of escapes, eat them alive. Be sure to grab Roman Archer's while in lane though, they're good for your ult and cut down on minion DPS if you're attacking enemy Gods in their vicinity. You should also get the Ogre minions as well. They will help your lane push as well as more effectively trap an enemy if you land it directly on them.
Let me ask you two questions as you finish reading this:
Do you feel as though you can eat your competition?
Do you know how not to be ******ed with Bakasura?
If you can answer at least one of the two, then do some more reading. Please.
If you answer both, nice job.
Remember, don't ever get too......hungry you never know what you might do.
Thanks for reading my Guide!

(Side note: This guide is still a work in progress, I'm working on a video portion as well as certain oppositions to the Bakasura playstyle. If you find difficulties with other Gods stomping you, let me know and I can test it. I'd appreciate any feedback.)

Season 3 is here! Can we have an update? Please? Or are you not on this site anymore?
DUDE. Stop asking for season 3 updates, it is only 2-3 days in. Like give people time.
Also this was updated in 2013 I think.
EDIT: Just wait a bit man, sorry if I sounded rude but people need to mess around with the items a bit before editing guides. Spamming the guides doesnt really help. Also you should check the dates of their last update.
This isn't just my opinion, though. I've seen ponpon and a couple others build him this way or similarly, too.
Again, I really appreciate the time you put into the guide.

But I think that Baka could use having a Transcendence so the blue buff is not nearly as vital.
