Who is Chernobog

Chernobog (lit. "Black God") and Belobog (lit. "White God") are an alleged pair of Polabian deities.

Chernobog appears in the Helmold's Chronicle as a god of misfortune worshipped by the Wagri and Obodrites, while Belobog is not mentioned – he was reconstructed in opposition to Chernobog. Both gods also appear in later sources, but they are not considered reliable.

Researchers do not agree on the status of Chernobog and Belobog: many scholars recognize the authenticity of these theonyms and explain them, for example, as gods of good and evil; on the other hand, many scholars believe that they are pseudo-deities, and Chernobog may have originally meant "bad fate", and later associated with the Christian devil.

What is this guide for

This guide is for Conquest players for the Carry lane. Of course, joust can you also play or other modes. My guide should help Chernobog players to learn what items to use and that they leave the match successfully, preferably victorious with Chernobog

Situational Items

Brawler's Beat Stick

Should be used when your opponent can heal or has lifesteal Martichoras

Heartseeker

Should be used when your opponent is a guard Sylvanus

Qin's Sais

Should be used when your opponent is a Guardian or has a lot of health

Relic Opportunities

Use at the beginning Purification Beads. You can start also with Magic Shell. Later as second relic you can take the Aegis Amulet. Later you can level it up to Temporal Beads , Fortifying Shell or Aegis of Acceleration.

Advantages and Disadvantages for Starters

Death's Toll
•Advantages
In the beginning it helps you a lot. Because you gain mana and health for each basic attack you hit. It is also cheaper than Leather Cowl.
•Disadvantages
It is important for Chernobog that he quickly achieves a fast attack speed. Unfortunately, this starter has no attack speed and also no lifesteal

Leather Cowl
•Advantages
Gives you lots of stats like Attack Speed, Mp5, Physical Power and Life Steal which is great to start with.
•Disadvantages
First of all, it is more expensive than Death's Toll and the end developments Leader's Cowl and Hunter's Cowl are not as strong from the passive effects as from the other starter Death's Embrace or Death's Temper

Crazy lifesteal

Concept really should be to only get as much lifesteal as needed, usually. When you get that many lifesteal items, it's really easy to get those items strongly countered with anti-heal. You also miss out on other items that could give you better functions.

In the "gauntlet ends deadly" build, there's no defining item that really helps with his DPS...that build should at least have Qin's Sais, for example.

The "infinite health" one is even worse. Only has Asi and Exe for AS items, and they're still building Embrace, which really gets the most use when your AS is high, to get as many procs as possible. And if you're going to be building into high CDR, why wouldn't you go for other items like Hydra's, Heartseeker, etc? This build is hybrid-ish, but without some key items that put either abilities or basics to higher effectiveness.

Strongly suggest going one, max 2 lifesteal items, depending on what it is you choose.
