Pros / Cons

-Pros-
High-Regen, allowing for you to constantly be in fights
High Mobility, easily deals with gods such as Artemis and Anubis
Pub-stomp Ultimate, like Ares, does really well at low MMR where people are less likely to build beads




-Cons-
Fairly frail when compared to other guardians, notably ones like Ganesha, Athena, and ***ba
Does have some notable annoying or bad match-ups that are fairly common
Beads hard counter one part of your kit, meaning you have to play aggro to get them, or have allies that capitalize on them missing beads

Skills

I'm going to assume you know what most of his abilities do, but here's some notes

1.

It's damage is percentage based as well as the base + ratio damage, meaning it allows you to do okayish damage to warriors. Guardians generally have too much magic resist to see too much mileage. Magic penetration is the best way to increase it's damage

The basic attack reduction allows you to harass the **** out of hunters early on, as well as fight warriors such as Bellona and Erlang

Don't be afraid to use it on waves, if not playing with anyone, most people ignore minions like chimps, meaning you'll lose if you're 20 kills up

2.

You can get some early beads by making people **** their pants if you come from the side, people rarely watch their flank

If you you miss the first strike, the root is a very important thing; It's your only way to stop gods such as Fenrir and Ares from killing your backline

3.

Use it to harass, 3 > 2 > 1 > 3 is a good combo to use if they have low CC or their CC cannot react

Always try to land on someone for the persistant protections, you're frail early on and it will help you survive

4.

A good trick to do is the "scoop", get behind the enemy, and start your ult, and slide into them, if you catch them with less time on the spin you'll fling them before they can beads, hopefully ending in their death

Don't always engage, this is an amazing peel tool. Assassins generally fall for this and you can get some early kills by flinging them into the fountain turret or into your team and away from the fleeing mage
