Pele flourishes and fires out a magma orb ahead of her in a line, dealing damage and granting fuel per enemy hit. Once the fiery projectile reaches maximum distance it hovers for a brief instant, solidifies, and then returns back in pieces, dealing damage to enemies on the way back. The number of shards returning is dependent on the rank of this ability.

Pele has 2 charges of this ability.

After a short warm up, Pele dashes forwards dealing massive damage and a slow to the first enemy God hit, and dealing additional damage to enemies behind in a cone.

Quick notes about me

I have played Pele quite a bit, and saw no new guides so here you go. This is my first guide so if you have any critiques please share. If you have any questions I´ll try to answer them as best as I can.

Please read below if concerned with ability usage, items, and how to play Pele in greater detail.

Introduction

Pele is a hard hitting God, there are many Junglers that can out play her but with her natural sustain (lifesteal below 50% hp) she can usually outplay just about anyone. She is very fast using her 3 as a good engage and escape tool. Be careful using Pele she is squishy, so try to only target low enemies. Although she can 2v1 mid game this is very dependent on the player.

Skills

Everlasting Flame (Passive) your sustain below 50% health, gains physical power, lifesteal, and Ability lifesteal.
Pyroclast (1) is used mainly as her only distance attack, I usually just use it as poke in the early game but mid to late game it does the most damage besides her ult.
Eruption (2) with my skill sequence is not the best till late game, it is a great knock up. Can be used to get a quick kill, or to stop the enemies in their tracks.
Magma Rush (3) is the most useful being able to use as an engage and escape tool. Ensure to use it carefully, and use it to the second degree to engage and to the first to escape.
Magma Rush (4) Can be used as another engage or escape tool, it´s better to waste an ult than to die. if you do plan to engage ensure to activate your 3 first then rush in so you instantly begin doing damage. If you miss your ultimate and they´re under tower attack minions and other enemies nearby using your cone to do the work (hard concept but insanely useful).

Items

The Crusher my preferred starting item, attack speed and some damage.
Warrior Tabi extra damage, and obviously speed.
Soul Eater This is just the go to item for pele, if you want something else you do you. Increases your sustain, extra damage, and CDR.
Jotunn's Wrath and Ninja Tabi combo, although it´s not used as often as the main build allows for less starting damage in exchange for faster ability usage, but lose the extra attack speed when you sell your boots.
Hydra's Lament does extra damage after hitting an enemy with an ability, good to use with the 3 since it counts as a ability hit every tick.
5th item is your main defensive item such as Pridwen, Magi's Cloak, or any antiheal.
Heartseeker is good mainly for it´s 65 damage and pen which is what truly makes it more viable than Arondight as your second to last item (you trade your blessing for this).

The last item is purely your choice and is exchanged for your boots (using Elixir of Speed).
Qin's Sais just does extra damage to tanks if your having trouble killing them.
Bloodforge if you want to hit harder and want some extra lifesteal (dont use if they have anti-lifesteal).
Atalanta's Bow for extra attack speed, some power, and some good pen.
Arondight gives a good amount of damage and some CDR and allows for your ultimate basic attacks to hit like a truck.
Serrated Edge in my opinion isn't that viable but if you need a little bit of everything it's there.

Jungling

NEW PLAYERS- If you don´t know how to play jungle you start speed buff, xp camp, then blue buff (you can swap the blue and xp camp), then go to mid or the two harpys on solo side then help mid with red buff, or if you manage to kill mid or enemy jungler rush to invade their red.

Be careful jungling, as Pele isn´t going to 1 combo the enemy team unless you´re VERY ahead.

Be map aware always check if someone´s in need of your assistance.

Team Work

PELE IS SQUISHY so be careful pushing in team fights, aim for mid and enemy jungler. try to push at the middle or end of a team fight rather than in the begging so you don´t die.
Other than that in late game I use my ult to engage using the cone to as much as an advantage as I can. Use your 2 if the enemy is trying to get away for a knock up and some damage to ensure the kill

Conclusion

Pele is a good god pretty heavy hitting and good early game sustain, one of the easier junglers to pick up and do good with. I hope this guide helped you understand her better and how to properly build Pele to your needs. Although considered very good, she´s only good if you truly play to her strengths (also rarely ever banned if you need a good option to play if your main is taken or banned).
Good luck and I hope you have some killer games.
Happy Jungling!!!

Add Berserker's, Sledge, Mantle, Void Shield, Ancile as alternative options. Also not a fan of pairing Ninja + Soul Eater + Hydra's early in one of the builds. Seems very weak.

It’s just an option I should’ve put warriors in the notes but I just forgot, and I thought that ninja would be useful with the attack speed since you’re losing it without the crusher.

(46) |

I don't understand the reasoning behind . You mentioned it was for tanks. Why not just get ?

Well titans bane got nerfed a while back it’s just easier to shred late game if you get qin’s, since it doesn’t really on pen or a full build it’s just straight damage to those above 2000 health aka tanks. Like yes titans bane can cause you to go to 60% pen but that doesn’t matter in comparison. For example let’s say you hit unit who’s health is around 3500 with qin’s you’re adding on that 5% ( of the cap of 2750) which is 137.5+ all your other damage EVERY HIT not like Titan’s bane ever 10 seconds you get extra pen, you could die in 5 I’ve someone cc’s you in a team fight.

(143) |

Uh, when are you focusing tanks as Pele?

Load more comments (3 more replies) →

Well in the certain cases where you’re getting focused by a tank, like I was getting smacked by a sun wukong because I couldn’t do damage to him and pele is squishy so it wasn’t going good.... so the only option I had was to go tank shred or I would’ve just kept dying. It’s just a game by game basis like obvi you don’t need qin’s every game but it’s just like a good thing for people to know who r newer.

(143) |

Or you could’ve just went Void Shield

It wasn’t like he was outplaying me in a 1v1, and I already had a defensive item up, but he was 3v1 and I was still dying, it just wasn’t a good time.

Oh and the extra attack speed I forgot to mention that Qin’s has.

(400) |

Maybe quicker application of the 3 hits after the ult? But agreed, a basic power/pen build is my preference over Qin's or Atalanta's any day. Aron is more core than Qin's is situational, IMO.

I agree, but I think it’s easier for new players to start 3 first but it’s a preference thing like o 4 then 3 twice after I hit, it’s just a lot for some to take in. Especially if you’re on controller.

(37) |

Personally late game to replace boots I would get like a for your autos since you're diving the backline or if the backline was building defences or if they had 3 tanks; of course the rest of the build being a typical power/pen build, a small damage boost in her autos is appreciated.

Well if there’s 3 tanks I think you should build qin’s since it does more damage to them and serrated edge gives more life steal and mvt speed but in my opinion isn’t worth the trade since I think you could still get a good amount of lifesteal hitting with that extra 3-5% every hit than an extra 10% lifesteal

(400) |

That is one impressive sentence.

As for Qin's, I just don't think there's enough attack speed built in to really make good use of it. I would definitely suggest topping off CDR, getting a high %pen item, etc., over Qin's.

The whole general point of Qin's is anti-tank, yes, but it goes hand in hand with trying to get very high base AS, and this is something you just don't have.

Alright, dude you can do w.e this is just the build I use (and as for the roast I’m just trying to o answer questions not send them a 1 paragraph short response with citations of information... so you can get out with that) you can do w.e your heart desires I was just explaining why I like qin’s over stone cutting sword and serrated edge. Which qin’s is situational.... so obviously you can go CDR if you want but in the case where you have three tanks on the enemy team.... in my opinion I would go Qin’s especially since with your ult your next 3 basics attacks are cones so you have a better chance at shredding with Qin’s.

(400) |

I was meaning that to be funny, not offensive. Sorry if you took it as insulting.

And I like discussion. I'm pointing out reasons I feel other items are better...it's a discussion. I understand your points, but if there's no discussion, there's no room for growth or other considerations, whether or not one person is right or wrong.

After reading a little bit Stone cutting could be your last item, but in the situation where you have 3 tanks and are getting overwhelmed I think you’re better off with Qin’s since you have the sustain from your AoE.

And personally I just don’t like Serrated edge and idk why...

(400) |

I like SCS a lot in general concept and use. I also don't really like Serrated, though I acknowledge the stats are solid. I don't like Silverbranch, or Emperor's, or the new change to Nemean, and I think Sledge is bloated and needs to be nerfed.

(37) |

Before the change to it, I would not have suggested , however being able to make use of it every time you use an ability is impactful, and the 20% penetration hits on all of your abilities as well as your autos, which as Pele you will be constantly using.

Following what Bran mentioned, Qin's busts tanks, obviously but the point is that if you have a high enough attack speed it will do so much bonus damage to their high health that they will feel the impact, with only around 40% attack speed added to base yes they'll feel hits but not enough to be scared or change up their build. All stats and the passive in SE are more useful to Pele than Qin's are in my personal opinion.

I mean usually I don’t have many abilities during a team fight it’s usually autos and my ult so I could see where it could be useful I think it’s better on other gods like Arachne where you need to use at least 2 to engage. With pele you don’t really have many on cool down but if you rush your 1 and 3 you could use your 2 and use the extra damage so I can see where it is useful but I just don’t prefer playing that way.

(400) |

I would say that strategy (autos and ult) goes against the point of one of your main items.... You really should be attack canceling as much as possible, and you should be using your 1 and 2 quite liberally in a fight. If you're doing that, then you not only would get the most out of Hydra's, but also Serrated if you decided to pick it up.

(37) |

Well without using your ultimate, as Pele you will use your 1 for poke, your 3 for engage and your 2 for damage. So at bare minimum when you don't use your 1, you will be getting 1 maybe 2 abilities on cooldown if you use your 3 to the end. Let alone using your one, you can get a lot of value from the autos after using abilities.

I meant use not have sorry.
