Smite God: Medusa

Tap Mouse over an item or ability icon for detailed info

Medusa Build

Auto Based

Notes This progression makes sure that you get lifesteal early, allowing for good sustain in lane. Building crit with Medusa is especially good because her Viper Shot gives her increased attack speed, and hitting enemies with a Lacerate/Viper Shot while doing crit will deal massive damage while buffing yourself and debuffing your enemy. Heartseeker is a viable last item because of Medusa's low mana and her powerful abilities.

Medusa's Skill Order Notes Medusa's Acid Spray should be prioritized as it helps her clear minions in lane and poke early game. Some will upgrade Viper Shot as her first ability, but it takes away her ability to clear the first two waves of minions quickly, putting her at a disadvantage and possibly in a bad situation if her Lacerate is not unlocked. Lacerate should be upgraded second as it gives her an early advantage to either dash out of a level 2 gank or initiate a kill on an enemy god who has not upgraded their mobility ability.
