Freya in general.

Pros:

Cons:

Ability combos:
To start off I'm going to say I never use Pulse and Irradiate at the same time, cooldown reduction from the Fatalis allows me to use one after the other. Using pulse first (unless an Ally god as stunned them, in which case use Irradiate and pulse while they try to run) I switch off between the two, if you need to use Creeping Curse while they run and you are using Irradiate, that is why you bought it. Save your ultimate for gods that are low - below half health and are about to escape.

Gods to lane with (as far as I have tried):
Ares, Ymir, Odin, etc.
Or pretty much anyone who can; tank, slow, or stun easily

Jungling:
As far as jungling goes from level 9ish on it's pretty easy to get buffs from the jungle. I recommend starting to grab them as soon as you have your third Warlocks Sash to help build stacks. If you happen upon an enemy grabbing a buff I recommend just leaving unless you have someone to back you up. (most jungle fights I have like this end up with me losing) Something you can try, I personally haven't tried this yet, you can banish whoever is attacking the buff minions and proceed to irradiate the minion carrying the buff and then run like hell with your movement speed. I'll be sure to try this next chance I get.

Laning:

-Early Game
Avoid initiating and just pulse minions to get money and exp. Simple as that.

-Post Early Game
Slightly dependent on who you are laned with is how carefully you should play. If you lane with Gods such as Ares, who can give a protection buff, or Odin, who can give an attack speed buff, you can be more on the offensive. Either way you are going to want to try to hang back as much as you can. This is why I like to use a movement speed build, so I can run away when I need to and if my lane partner initiates I can quickly run up and start to help.

-Mid game
Hopefully by this point you haven't died a lot, gotten a few kills, and are built fairly well. By now you should be grabbing buffs from the jungle every chance you get. Speed, Protection, and Attack are pretty nice for Freya.

-Late game
Pretty much just keep up with the buffs and gank any low health enemies that are trying to escape.

-If the enemy team is being fed.
At this point if you are under leveled and under built if you go out there you are going to die and just feed them some more. Avoid the enemies and take jungle buffs for money and exp. Just grab all the ones you can find and also pay as much attention to all enemies and just wait and watch for one of them to be weakened up.

That pretty much sums this up. If you liked this guide, please, throw it a vote up.

Balanced build guide.

Not a too much to explain.
Considering Freya has a decent base speed, buying the Spear of Magus early on for the extra health is pretty nice but by the end of the build you'll have approx. an extra 1000 HP to initiate with.

Freya the hedgehog!

Sonic reference... Get it?

Depending on your skill level with Freya you can choose to get the Doom Orb instead of the Warlock Sash but the Winged Wand is completely necessary.

With this build I basically use it to hang back during cluster **** fights and wait for an enemy to get low and health and begin to flee. Chase that ***********er down with sprint kill them and get the **** back out Using either Pure Beads or Aegis Amulet to avoid getting caught by anyone else.

High damage

I would not recommend this build unless you are laning with a friend over Team Speak or Skype that is playing a tank. If you don't have a tank you can plan on dying... A lot..

If you don't feel confident with the Doom Orb stacks skip it for Warlocks Sash then buy Obsidian Shard (or Void stone, whichever suites your fancy)

Magic Penetration

Aegis Amulet and Pure Beads to keep your **** alive. Warlocks sash will help a little bit with extra hp but the Amulet and Beads are for getting out of a bad situation.

The Hedgehog is easily my favourite freya build

Personally I would take a bit more cooldown in exchange for more burst damage swaping out a cooldown item for a Polynomicon or however its spelt. Basically for what ever reason which makes sense actually when you activate her skills 1 and 2 they are registered as BASIC ATTACKS so say you use the one that changes your attacks to a ranged one Polynomicon treats it as your BASIC ATTACK Giving you the +100% Magic Damage Bonus on first hit. Same goes for Skill 1. Also this WORKS ON STRUCTURES From what I have tested. Freya could pretty much One to Two shot a Pheonix and 3 Shot a Tower on Final Build and make extremely short work of the Minotaur... Not sure if this is a bug or anything but giving her the Polynomicon ENSURES a Heavy unscaled hit for your first strike all the time... I was doing in around 750Damage all the time when I activated a skill... I makes her burst damage EXTREMELY good...

GG.

I feel like Qin's Blades are better that Executioner. The extra health really helps.

While this guy just repeats what I have suggested in other threads and what now Ill give the reason why here.

As you gain magic power, your physical power goes up as well. Her passive is what makes this do such a thing. Now in doing so, a full magic build will give you roughly 230 phys power in total. Because you are doing both types of damage since Freya is the first true hybrid god this item will help you for when you were unable to burst them down quick enough as needed and need to auto attack them.

This is true. I should have given you proper credit for the initial idea regardless, but I felt they needed reiterating; nobody will read the comments on every single Freya guide besides a select few people. I think it was pretty cool that I actually knew the reason for using executioner in place of Fatalis.

you do know that freya is mostly magic attack based right ?

The replacement for Fatalis would be The Executioner. Freya is a very versatile god and having a mix of both Physical and Magical items would be beneficial to her overall damage output.

Also guess I should mention I like the guide lol. Could use a bit more information. Pros/Cons, Skills (when to initiate, skill combinations, etc), just the basic stuff. Keep up the good work though!

Yeah I can throw together a more detailed guide. I'll try to have it up sometime today.
Thanks for the feedback as well! :)

Personally I find slightly better for Freya because of the benefit it gives to her pushing/harassing abilities and overall damage output. I've been trying to find a replacement for it but so far no luck.

It's important to keep in mind that I build Freya as more of a magical carry type of God so I find the attack damage and cooldown reduction very helpful. I like the use of but I still have yet to solve the attack speed problem. Having CDS and AS on one item just makes it so much easier for me to stack magical damage and implement some other useful items into my strategy.

I've created a thread about and Freya. Please feel free to look it over and give some feedback (positive or negative). Nothing wrong with some good ol' fashion tough criticism!
