Who is pele?

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

I'm atheist, but god bless you if you haven't meet her. Pele is the second newest assassin and first polynesian goddess in the game.

Pele's abilities make her a really interesting goddess. She looks like a button-smashing classic ( King Arthur, Artio), but actually she has a strange (and over powered) kit, which can allow her to be very versatile in what comes to roles.

She has high 1v1 potential and great single target damage, great jungle clear, sustain ( Everlasting Flame) and she also has a good teamfight.
This is something that very little assassins have. Usually, those who have one quality of these, lose in the others (for example, we have Arachne, who has poor clear and teamfight but really good single target damage, which is the same for Loki). But Pele is a really good example of all these three categories.

How to play Pele

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠


☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Yellow arrows: Gankeable lanes.
Orange line(s): Pele's path.

First off, you should take your starting build which was already given in the building section, and go towards the Yellow Buff (1). Wait until game starts, and clear the speed buff with your mid laner's help (sometimes mid laners can start at mid, there you'll have to do it yourself).
After completing it, you should choose (But i recommend going to mana buff first if you want to get faster to mid) between going for XP harpies (3), or going for Mana buff (2).
After completing one of these, go for the other.
Then, go around mid. You should usually go for XP harpies (4). If the enemy jungler has already done these (Which is difficult since Magma Rush's clear potential is dumb), just go mid (5).

Once you arrived mid lane, evaluate the situation.


Ask yourself:

Does my mid laner has a good early game?

Is my mid laner paying attention and well positioned?

Do i want to force him and try to kill someone?

Do i have enough mana? Does my mid laner has enough mana?

Where is their jungler now?

If the answers to these questions are positive, then you can try and apply some pressure in their mid laner. Maybe you'll get a kill or an assist!

After this, think if you want to go for left (or right, but in this case those are left) mid harpies, their red buff or your red buff. You can also invade the enemy back camps for a lead and for just having the timer. You can do oracles too if your mid laner wants to follow you. (6).

After this, you can do the fastest one and just go for the XP camp in the back.
If you want, you can also call your duo lane for the void camp (7), and if they are ahead you can gank lane and then invade void.

When finished, repeat. Look for ganks on the assigned places.

Items in depth

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Warrior Tabi

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Warrior Tabi its a really good tool for Pele and for barely all physical gods in game.
Having 40 physical power and 18% movement speed at almost 3 minutes into the game, its really useful for rotating and ganking easily and more effectively. Boots increases your damage a lot, and allows you to chase enemies more efficaciously. Get this item as soon as possible.
☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Soul Eater

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Soul Eater its not an item that you see a lot nowadays. This is not a bad item, but there are better options out there. Stacking only for 60 physical power and some healing its not always the best option. But for some gods like Pele, this item is insanely useful. Pele can heal all her HP with Everlasting Flame when this is alongside Soul Eater. It gives you cooldown reduction too, which is also useful on pele.


☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠[/size]

The crusher and Jotunn's wrath

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

These two items can be picked up together or one or the other too.
Jotunn's Wrath contains some mana, a huge CDR boost allowing Pele to spam her abilities more repeatedly, physical power and the most important; penetration.
The Crusher has no CDR in it, but has more penetration, some useful attack speed (The conic basic attacks are easier to apply) and a damage passive.

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠[/size]

Arondight

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

This item on Pele's performance is yet to be seen, but what i think and what i expect is that having such a high movement speed with this passive and including that pele in Magma Rush is the speediest ***** in the city, its insanely useful. Also, this item includes the good old CDR, and the damage passive its really really good too.

It's a wrap!

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Well, that's enough for today. Let me see all your thoughts over this... Have a nice day, person!

I don't like her 3 being prioritized before "1". The 1 has 2 charges and is instant damage. Her 3 requires "sticking" which isn't going to happen.

I personally don't run SEater on her. She gets in bursts hard and gotta get out. I like to blink, knockup, ult, spam "1" x2 and use 3 to run away.

Also, does Crusher proc w/ "3" per tick? Most times I go Jotuun.

Hi!

Yeah, it was hard picking between Pyroclast and Magma Rush in which one to rush, but i must say that you can run any of the above. i prefer Magma Rush for clear and mobility (And stacked it does more damage).

Soul Eater its almost core!! everytime your passive pops up, you'll be ready to fight again!
Anyways, 60 physical power is more than a lot of items can provide. Yes, she needs instant burst, and Soul Eater its not taking that away from her.

Yes, Magma Rush does procs The Crusher. Jotunn's Wrath its strong too. You can get both, or you can rush one and then supply the other one for other options ( Ancile, Void Shield, Soul Eater).

GaseousClay (1) | August 5, 2019 10:38pm
I've never had any trouble w/ her clearing. I start w/ 3 and max 1 first. Before my gank i'll have my 2 charges.

I'm staying away from Pele but next time I'll try prioritize 3 and get crusher. Maybe much faster clear, but doubt its much

"Weaknesses:

Falls off lategame, gets countered heavily by anti-heal, vulnerable to slows and roots (and hard CC of course even more so).

Idk what you mean, her late game is OK, she should build tanky to have a better performance and yes, gods like loki or freya or whatever's lategame are better but she has valuable CC in insane range.

I don't think she get's countered by antiheal. She has a HUGE heal, yes, we can agree in that, but it pops up once each 30 seconds, and the enemy never knows when Everlasting Flame will pop up since there's no mark or timer that can be seen from enemies.

All gods are vulnerable to CC, idk what you mean there

It's OK yes, but not that great compared to her early to mid game. Do you not know what falling off lategame means? Like Thanatos has a silence, and an execute which means he can still be useful lategame, but that doesen't mean his lategame is as good as his early game.

She DOES get countered by anti-heal, especially considering Soul Eater is a common pickup on her. With anti-heal she can't fight an assassin or ADC as easily once they have anti-heal online, like she can early game with her passive.

FootFetish wrote:

In the case of Pele she doesen't have slow immunity, so slows can counter her high movement speed from Magma Rush (especially Horrific Emblem), and in the case of roots, her only escape/dash is on her ult - so she has to use that if she wants to escape from that. Otherwise she has to use Purification Beads which means she can be locked down very easily by any Hard CC once it's on cooldown.

FootFetish wrote:

Chang'e, Hel, Chiron, Osiris (damage mitigation), Amaterasu (damage mitigation), Ravana, Tyr (certain types), Jormungandr(certain types) , Thanatos (slow immunity), gods with CC immunity in their kits (typically ult) etc... These gods have CC counters in their kits.
