Medusas lore


All monsters are hideous and fearful, but some are worse than others. There is only one whose hair is made of slithering serpents, only one with skin of scales, and only one whose very gaze can turn man, beast, or God to stone. Medusa, the Gorgon.

Stories claim she was beautiful once. A priestess of Athena. Loyal and devout in action, but Poseidon was determined to make her his own. It was the fairness of her features, the golden of her hair, that attracted the Sea God. Medusa, a mortal maiden, could not refuse.

When Athena learned of Medusa's betrayal, she punished the priestess. Those fair features were hideously wrought and those golden locks twisted to hissing vipers. Anyone that met her eyes was petrified – a statue for all eternity.

Medusa fled, frightened, ashamed and furious. For years she hid from the world, nursing a festering hatred for all things, craving beauty but having none, seeing none, until she became the monster she appeared to be.

She slithers now to the field of battle. Those wretched features concealed behind a cruel mask of porcelain perfection, eyes burning from within. All that she perceives, all that is wonderful in this world, she seeks to destroy. Perhaps then she will be the fairest monster of them all.

Physical Power Build, Ability Power

First stacking itemTranscendence Allway buy first.

Next are Warrior Tabi
After it get Hydras LamentFor CDR and aditional basic attac kdamage after using ability.

Complete CDR withJotunns Wrath

Then Ichaivalfor some attack speed, also those three basic aatack stealing power are great when used for medusas first ability.

As final item getShifters Shield for additional 60 physical power when you have more than 50 percent of life. And also some protections.

Full Build

So, this is full build



Its ability power build, so no crits and little attack speed, but when you rush and use your three spells enemies are dead and dont know how :D GL HF with using this build. For those who always build crits, this is not ADC build, this is AP build.

Builded your build below and its terrible. No crit = terrible damage also the attack speed is way to low.

Way better build would be.

1) warrior tabi, lots of damage + movement speed always good on a archer
2) blood forge, gives you 24% life steal + 55 attack power tons of burst + survival
3) executioner, 26% defense lowering, 20% attack speed + 30 physical power, basically best item for any archer really, gives everything you need.
4) fatalis, movement speed + attack speed which is needed. Makes it possible to chase anybody and outrun anybody
5) deathbringer, tons of burst
6) either rage for lots of burst or soul bringer / asi for tons of healing your choice.

Problem with your build atm is that you got tons of attack power but zero crit = still low amounts of damage.
