Elixir of Power
This isn't a beginner-friendly build but more for a seasoned apollo player who can hit his basics with audacity(passive), you can box almost any hunter with this build and correct play style, this is a very aggressive build with lots of pros and cons.
Pros+
Why level your 3 first? it's a super aggressive play, when you get to your purple buff you land one auto before you start hitting smaller minions, you dash after the first basic and it pushes the purple minions towards the support to HOG faster while you burn down the purple buff and save time clearing. Depending on the support you should have 4 stacks of audacity.
When you get to lane by the time you're up to the archers your audacity should be almost back up, your 3 gives you an audacity stack if you could dash through the archers + hit the god you should have your passive up being so close it's hard to miss 5 basics followed by a 1 , basics do 83dmg 5 basics is 415 dmg, 90dmg from your 1 someone like apollo only has a base health of 527
Your play style revolves around audacity, keeping this up is critical, with silver branch bow stacks and max A speed you do massive damage. A tip is to always try keeping one jungle camp next to you alive even if you hit it out of range immune you build a stack for your passive. DO not engage a 1v1 without this. Most apollo players don't use their dash aggressively, using your 3 knocks your enemy up which gives you time to land an auto before they can react, basic, 2, basic 1 , basic. With your 3 and 2 you stall your enemy from attacking you for at least 2 basics which is huge.
For using your ultimate aggressively, if you're backing and they don't you know exactly when they will go to lane make sure you have your audacity stacked before you base, ult in a direct hit knocks them up for a basic, 1 combo, followed by a 3 to chase or if they have no beads you can just dash through them for the knock-up basic combo into 2, basic combo and they should be dead.
Positioning is everything, this build has 0 sustain, your job is to farm, clear, and take advantage of opportunities, with Jotuns CD reduction your 1 is up more frequently to poke and clear. Once you get Death bringer online your crits should be hitting 600 on squishies at level 16 considering all goes well. Ornate arrow is tricky you need to have 2000 gold to have its full effect of 25% crit 35% attack speed, most times i don't find my self buying my last item but instead buying a 3k pot this seems only a fair trade off for the crit and attack speed with the 5% gold gained passive you'll accumulate gold a lot faster. With 3k pot you'll be smacking crits for 800-900 and even on jungles who build one item you'll be doing 600 per basic.
This is the only build that has a HIGH attack speed , High crit, and almost capped penetration or fully capped if you get domination
