For this section, I will assume that you have already read through her kit, but I will go over certain aspects of her abilities that you may not know or parts that may be very important.
This passive is simple to understand: have top damage, get a damage buff. There's not much to state here, but don't be upset if you don't have it. Whoever gains the buff from
Contest of Gods will gain a HUGE buff. On a physical god, 40 physical power at level 20 is noticeable boost in DPS for hunters and 70 magical power is a large amount for a mage- however hope that your warrior or guardian doesn't gain the buff as they will not benefit from it as much as assassins, mages, or hunters would.
This is one interesting ability given the way it functions. When clearing the minion wave, look to target the circular portion of the ability onto the enemy archer minions, if the minion wave is stationary, or aim it towards the center of the minion wave if the minion wave is moving.
One tip with
Unruly Magic is to not overthink its projectiles. Yes they can deal extra damage but you will deal more damage when you directly hit an enemy with it. Another thing about this ability is that the main projectile will travel to wherever you aim it towards- this is important as so you won't accidentally aim it on your feet and be surprised that it doesn't go far. You will want to prioritize skill points into this ability first and obtain it at level 1 as it is your main wave clear tool and is also your main damaging ability.
If you're played Serqet before,
Strife is at its simplest form, an easier version of Cobra's Kiss in that you deal damage to enemies and force affected enemies to damage each other. For
Discordia,
Strife is her main crowd control ability due to its Madness debuff and a root if on a single target. I would level this ability second as the added damage helps out Discordia's weak early game.
At first glance this ability seems like a poor escape tool with a gimmick but it is a huge part to
Discordia's success. When you are within the area that is created by
Erratic Behavior, you will gain movement speed, which helps you to stay mobile while in the area, and also every 0.5 seconds, you will reduce the cooldowns
Unruly Magic and
Strife. Abusing this feature of
Erratic Behavior will increase how effective you are in fights as you will be able to send forth exploding stars after exploding stars, and root after root. The damage able to be inflicted by repeatedly casting these two abilities really adds up. For this main reason, I prefer to prioritize it second, right after
Unruly Magic. Normally, I would prioritize this ability second instead of
Strife but I began to value the extra early damage that
Strife was able to provide. Leveling
Erratic Behavior second is still a viable route though
Strife is a safer bet.
This ultimate is another component to
Discordia's strong zone control and damage. When landing this ability, be mindful of the slow projectile speed of the giant apple- ideally you'd want to use
Golden Apple of Discord if you are in close proximity to an enemy or if your allies have applied crowd control onto an enemy. Another thing to be aware of is that if you are playing against
Discordia, do not use
Aegis Amulet or similar abilities on the first instance of damage from
Golden Apple of Discord. Instead wait for the delayed instance of damage, as it does the most.
I recommend similar to
Hou Yi and
Kuzenbo, to not worry too much about the fact that you have an ability that can bounce off of walls. Most of the time it is better to just go for the straightforward hit instead of trying to be fancy and going for a bounce. Also
Golden Apple of Discord has a slow travel time so chances are that your opponent will simply dodge it. One additional thing to note is that
Golden Apple of Discord is not a good ultimate to secure objectives with, such as the Gold Fury and the Fire Giant. I recommend investing a skill point into this when available,
as the damage per level is decent.
Cheers!
But since her release your guide is the only useful information on her out there (forums just filled with hate rants on her). I even love your colors! Sincerely Thankyou your advice on how to play her really is perfect ( ie her 3)
I haven't played much in the past week (been sick and busy), and have only met her in 2 Arena games so far...but she's been one of the highest damage dealers, and this is with people I have to assume are still learning her kit...so at least in teamfight situations, she seems pretty strong.
*EDIT*: If you are going to use BBcode make sure that you don't abuse it. Your guides will actually will become almost unreadable. So if you want to color your text just do it on key important information (like a highlighter). This also applies to your Cu Chulainn guide.
