Pros / Cons

Cu Chulainn is a fun warrior to play, but he can be tricky to master.
The big thing with him is that he has no mana. Instead he has a rage bar, with grows the more you hit ennemies, but also when he takes damage
The rage systeme is, in itself a pro and a con.
Rage management is really important, because in his berserker form, Cu Chulainn becomes a real asset, dealing damage, and gaining a huge shield that allows him to tank
But charging the rage bar is not always easy, as you will need to hit people (abviously) and minions, but your teamates will not necessarily let the farming to you.
To avoid running out of rage (with renders you pretty much useless) try not to waste your abilities.

Pros (in normal mode):
Good mobility (you can jump over walls with Salmon's Leap
decent health (with the right build)
Good AoE with his ultimate


Cons (in normal mode):
Anger management (not always easy)
Not lot of damage
Pretty hard



Pros (in berserker mode):
Good damage
More CC (with Ground Slam, Furious Charge and War Cry)
Gains a good shield


Cons (in berserker mode):
Hard to get
Can go off when there is no enemy nearby

Builds

Like it is said in the title, this is an easy to play build, mainly for joust, but can work everywhere

The first build consist of a lot of health and HpS, and a few damage items such as the Masamune and the Shifter's Shield, but prioritizing the tanking in early game.
You can mix the build a little and buy some of the damage items first, but it all depends on how the game is going

The second build is situational, if you encouter multiple mages with high burst capacity, it can save your life

all the items are good, but ulitmately, it all depends on the situation


The ability part is really simple, as the most useful of your ability is the Barbed Spear, witch you should up first, then the Salmon's Leap (while of course putting points in your ultimate whenever possible) and lastly the Vent Anger ability, witch is in my opinion, the less usefull, and the most wastefull in rage points.

Advices

Try to hit a minion line with Barbed Spear to easily gain rage
When your rage bar is almost full (you transform when you are over 85 rage point), but your life is low, you should, if possible, return to base first then attack, that way, you can jump in from the jungle for a surprise attack, and become berserk will being full life, stuffed, and with your berserk form.

Your second ability, Vent Anger can be a good way to catch enemies fleeing, but be wary of it's use, as it is an easy way to waste all of your rage, and leave you unable to throw a single ability, with renders you pretty much useless

Salmon's Leap is a really usefull ability, as it deals damage, allows you to go over walls (hello there, surprise attack!) and also to flee (even if it's for the weak)
