INTRO

HIGH this is my 3rd guide.

Cupid is underated, his Share The Love is amazing and he has good damage with Heart Bomb , good escape + wombocombo ult Fields Of Love. Some people say they've nvr seen cupid carry, i carry with cupid all the time and i see others carry with him. I believe my KDR as of now is 3.

Pros / Cons

PROS
Good damage
Good Heals
Good Escape
CC
Good Solo or Long Lane

CONS

Very squishy
If not fed, useless for the rest of his life.

Skills

Lovestruck Every hit with a basic attack gives Cupid a stack that increases the damage and healing of his abilities. At 10 stacks, Heart Bomb and Fields of Love will also stun.

Give you good damage but mainly for the stun on Heart Bomb and Fields Of Love. CC is good for everything, escaping chasing and others.

Heart Bomb Cupid fires an arrow of love at the target, causing damage when it hits and slowing them. After a short time, the targets heart explodes, dealing the damage again to the target and all enemies within the radius.


DAHT DAHMAHGE this ability does a **** ton of damage plus it stuns and slows. Great poke for lane phase and good for chasing.


Share The Love Cupid places 3 floating hearts at his ground target location that heal himself or allied gods when picked up. Cupid regenerates mana for each heart that is picked up by an ally.

This is what makes cupid, cupid. Those heals crazy good. Good for supporting a tank in your lane, plus it heals all the mana you used as long as they eat just 2 of them. Great for solo and mid, allows you to get 2 mana potions instead of any health potions. Another use is tower diving, put these in you enemies tower to heal you as you chase the enemy.

Flutter Cupid flutters quickly forward, leaving a trail behind him that increases all allies movement speed. Cupid also gains attack speed for a short time after fluttering!

Good escape plus it helps allies escape and chase. Grants attack speed which makes it good for chasing in combination with Hydras Lament.

Items

ohhh god. I typed the whole items section then my browser crashed, now i have to type it ALLLLLL again.


CORE

Warrior Tabi

Get this on every physical damage god.

The Executioner

Great item for attack speed gods.

Deathbringer

THIS IS A NECESSITY FOR ALL ASSASSINS AND CARRIES. Even good on some bruisers.

Rage

Pretty much makes you crit 80% of the time and in combo with deathbringer = rape machine.

Bloodforge

I think this new item is really good, some speculate it but don't listen to those noobies. Never again will i buy SoulEater for soloing gold fury.


OTHERS



Jotunns Wrath

For spaaming Heart Bomb and Share The Love

Runic Shield

I don't recommend this item unless an enemy mage is pretty fed and your getting your *** whooped. ( Poseidon Anubis Freya Eset Zeus Zhong Kui these are main threats. Normally you can feed off Anubis, but if he's fed your gonna want Runic Shield.

Focused VoidBlade

This is nice item for all physical gods. If you want some more tankiness you can just get dis sword, it'll poke people very much hard.

Qin's Blades

You never really see people get this item anymore, I don't recommend this unless the enemy team is overall tanky.
EX: Guan Yu jungling, Zhong Kui mid, Hercules Solo, Ymir support, and... uhhhh whos a tanky adc? ... wtvr you get the point. Only get this against tanky gods.

Hydra's Lament

This is one of my more recommended items. It has passive that works very well with Cupids abilities and gives some cooldown reduction.
---
For 5s after using an ability, your next basic attack will deal 125% of your base physical power (before items and buffs) as additional physical damage. The effect can only apply once every 2 seconds.


Heartseeker

Cupids pretty good for getting last hits so this is nice on him.

Fatalis

A little to much attack speed, overkill when n combination with executioner so i don't recommend it. But it's always there if you want dat crazy attack speed.

Team Work

In team fights you just need to help wombo combo with Fields Of Love and do your damage. Also whenever a teamate takes a beating you can pop them some hearts with Share The Love.

Cupid works well with other wombo combo gods like Anubis Ao Kuang Agni Bacchus Chang'e Ares Hades Hun Batz Eset Odin Poseidon Sobek
Zues Ymir Zhong Kui

Summary

So overall cupid is a pretty good carry/support. Nice heals, strong abilities and yeah.

I agree with basically what Jararo has said. So before I start listing things, note that literally everything he has said is a preface to my additions.

1) As the squishiest carry in the game, take advantage of having the literal quickest escape in the game, faster than Anhur, Neith, Apollo, or Xbal. I'd take Flutter level 3 over another Heart Bomb. Less trade, but if they have a Fenrir or Loki who gets on you level 3 with damage buff, and you're facing a neith/ymir, you are pretty much 100% done. Cupid wins on sustain in game, but only if he's safe.

2) You go over items in general, but not really why they synergize with each other, as well as leaving out why the 2nd build is why it is. You pretty much give an overview of the item without stating why you are getting it for this god, which makes your 2nd build, support, very odd. You basically say "Never get Runic Shield unless they have a fed mage" and then take it in the support section.

3) No actives section, Boo.

4) No tips and tricks. For example, that your passive will use up current stacks if not at 10 on abilities; that a 10 stack Heart Bomb stun leads into a guaranteed hit on Fields Of Love; that you can Share The Love over a wall for your jungler; that lock-on target abilities are not avoided by Flutter such as Brutalize, so wait until they're finished before dashing; placing a heart bomb on the big minion at the end of a wave to hit enemy god; etc.

5) Teamfight section overviews that you use your ult, and it goes well with gods that have an AoE ult. Basically what you're saying, is ult and then stand there. Assume new cupid players are reading this - you give no indication as to what your thought process is during a trade. Elaborate.

6) Pros/Cons really doesn't say anything past what a carry is. Every carry has good damage. Every carry is squishy. Every carry (sort of - artemis D:<) has CC. What does cupid provide that they don't? What are HIS pros/cons? The good healing is a start, but elaborate on it. For example, as mentioned, that he has the QUICKEST escape. That he has a built in synergy with attack speed. That he has the best sustain of any carry. etc.

7) Laning tips. Kind of a subnote of 4 - Tips and Tricks. But go through how to get out of the early game.

8) Combos. Subnote #2. What order to use abilities to be effective. What abilities to avoid using until you need to. etc.

9) In your intro you spelled "Hi" wrong. On that note I think I'm done. :)

I'm going to try not to be mean because our fellow members have aggravated me, but there is little information here that makes the guide worth looking at.

Saying "Get this on every physical God" is not the way to justify getting an item. You should be explaining how it is going to benefit the God that you are playing.

The skills section could be much more in-depth as well as finished, because you didn't include the Ultimate as well as other information such as damage, cooldowns, etc.

The Team Work section has nothing. Just making a section on what Gods to team up with, in which you gave no reasoning why, does not make a Team Work section. Match-ups is usually an independent section.

You need a gameplay section. That is the skeleton of a guide and you do not have one. What should a Cupid player do early/mid/late game? What is the best lane for Cupid to go in? What methods/tips can you offer to the reader?

I do not downvote guides unless they are truly horrid, but please do extensive work on this guide before you expect an upvote.
