Primordial Onslaught / Consume

1 X
Primordial Onslaught (Flying): Tiamat gathers power, allowing her to fire orbs of energy at the end of the channel. Each orb damages enemies and stops on enemy gods. Hitting the same enemy deals 15% less damage each time, to a minimum of 70% reduction. This ability can fire additional projectiles at ranks 3 and 5.

Ability Type: Line, Damage
Damage: 80 / 90 / 90 / 100 / 100 (+35% of your Magical Power)
Cost: 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75
Cooldown: 10s

Consume (Ground): Tiamat fires a cone dealing damage and slowing enemies hit. Minions, Large Monsters or Buff Holders hit under a health threshold are executed. Tiamat can immediately consume her Serpent and Beast pets to provide a Hardened Scale. When Tiamat consumes a Buff Holder she gains their buff while the original can still be picked up by allies. This allows Tiamat to pick up a second buff as well. Tiamat can only have one consumed and one regular buff at a time.

Ability Type: Cone, Slow, Damage
Damage: 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+55% of your Magical Power)
Slow: 25% for 1.5s
Execute Threshold: 50%
Cost: 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75

Cost: 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 / 85

How to play

Tiamat is a powerful mage just relased and a force to be reckoned with. Best strategy I have found is start off in the first stance and use primordial onslaught. (this ability can be charged late game.)
Use ruination(on a group if you can) Then use Grounding Dive to stance switch to what I call ***asian mode. With these combinations you should have killed somone or got them really low. If you need to switch back using grounding dive and use your ult I personally like the Summon Storm because it does a massive amount of damage.

Pros


High dammage dealer
Great if you play mage or ***isan
Easy to push with team
Diversity to play up close or far away
Easy to use
Can solo non guardians
Can tank dammage late game
Multiple ult selections while flying
Stance switch can be used to get away

Cons


Easy to stun
Big hit box
Knowing went to stance switch
Easy to get isolated
Squishy early game
Glass cannon

Conclusion

I was a zeus main before this God and couldn't find one to fit my play style. Tiamat fit how I play and can deal alot of damage just be weary for stuns. Overall one of the most balanced mages to come to the game and fun to play. PS First guide I ever made

Adjustments

You can trade out shoes late game for Chronos Pendant for higher cool downs and mp5
