Build Summary

Starter Items

Notes I don't like to go any starter item because choosing it late game can be a lot more impactful. Tier 2 of Rod is good because it provides mana and 60 POWER!!!! Really good for early game.

Full Build

Notes This is full build. This build provides a lot of power, which is what you need. You can choose any starter item you want endgame but I suggest using "Pendulum Of Ages" because it gives you cooldown and even more mana which allows you to use the sacred art of ability spamming. DUN DUN DUN!

Extended Build

Introduction


Hello everyone! This is my first god-guide! I hope you enjoy, and I encourage you to comment so you can give me some pointers. The Build above is just what I go but you can do whatever you want. I will explain the build in the next Chapter. See you there(Go the the next chapter...)

Pros / Cons

Pros:

    God of poke
    Good Early and Endgame potential


Cons:
    Squishy
    Hard to play effectively
    Mean to the opposite team.LOL

Build Explanation

The reason that I don't go an early-game starter Item on Persephone is because the starter items for mages this season are not so good. Conduit would be ideal for her but the nerfs are too strong.



I went Rod of Tahuti because it provides good damage and if a god is at 50% Health you will do 25% additional damage. This Helps with you passive because when you die you only do 60% of the total damage that you normally do. So with Rod you will now do 85% of damage when you die.


I went Shoes of Focus because mana and cooldown! DUH!



I went Spear of Desolation because it gives it gives pen which helps you go through protections. (Late game you do tons of damage to tanks)



I went Soul-Gem because of power and life-steal. Life-steal is always a good on a mage because you can survive longer.



I went Soul-Reaver because it is like a quins for mages. really good against solo and support.



Lastly, You can choose any starter item you want endgame but I suggest using "Pendulum Of Ages" because it gives you cooldown and even more mana which allows you to use the sacred art of ability spamming. DUN DUN DUN!

In total this build Provides 670 magical power 202 basic damage and the others are irrelevant.

Skills


PASSIVE: Persephone gains Pomegranate Seeds when her Harvest plants wither. If she has more than 25 Seeds she can spend these to resist death, continuing to fight at full mana for 8s but dealing 60% reduced damage and moving 20% slower. This can be cancelled before the revive occurs by right-clicking. Additional seeds are sold when she enters the fountain for 3 gold a seed. Persephone can hold 100 Seeds.


This is her 1st Ability. Persephone calls forth a skeletal warrior of the underworld. This warrior charges forward 35 units or until it comes into contact with a god. It charges with such force that when it stops it topples, sending bones flying forward and damaging enemies in its path. The skull from this warrior flies forward and becomes a Harvest Skull when it lands. This ability is good for clear but it is hard to hit because of the animation. It can also partially go through walls.(Seed stays at wall but damage goes through.)


Persephone places a Skull (max 6/6/8/8/10) and can activate it with a Basic Attack to heal herself. She stores up to 6 Skulls. After 2.5s it turns into a Sprout that explodes when activated, damaging and slowing enemies. After 16s it turns into a Flower that chases down enemies when activated for 2.2s before biting them. After activation or 120s it withers. Enemies recently hit by Harvest take reduced damage from additional hits stacking 3 times.

Ability Type: Circle
Heal: 22 / 29 / 36 / 43 / 50 (+10% of your Magical Power)
Explosion: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+65% of your Magical Power)
Slow: 20%
Bite: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+90% of your Magical Power)
Reduced Damage: 40 / 64 / 78%

This is the hardest ability to use that is in her kit. Why? Well because it has three stages. Heal, Bomb, and Walker! The first stage "Heal" is just small heal but it can make a difference in whether you die or stay alive. Next is her "Bombs", this stage is her main source of damage because if you play it right you can deal so much damage that even Cthulhu himself will be scared of you... Anyways her last stage is walkers. This stage does more damage than the bombs but they are easily jukeable. TIP: You can send a basic attack and place a harvest either a heal or a bomb and it will explode, good tip for ranked.


This is her 3rd ability. Persephone floods the ground around her with life giving energy that propels her from the ground directly forwards or backwards; based on the direction she is moving. Harvest plants inside the area immediately grow to their next stage and activate. After using this ability the next Harvest cast is pre-germinated and spawns as a Sprout.

An Awilix ult will work since its a leap.


This is her Ultimate. Persephone conjures a mass of Entrapping Vines that she throws forwards, entrapping the first enemy god or wall it touches. Entrapped gods are crippled, rooted, and have reduced Attack Speed. Vines then spawn from the Entrapped target that seek nearby enemy gods. Enemy gods hit are bound, crippled, and can no longer move away. Entrapping Vines are destroyed if hit by 5 Basic Attacks (3 if it trapped a Wall), ending all effects.

This Ultimate is technically a global Ultimate because it will continue moving until something stops it.(It will not damage minions and minions will not stop the ultimate.)
This ultimate with the build above should do around 700-780 if it hits a god and he is trapped in the middle.

Combos!

Combo 1 With Ult

How to Play! + Tips N Tricks

Usually you find the right moment in a team-fight to use your ultimate. It can be to snipe a person that's trying to run away or maybe to trap the whole team. I recommend to use the ult to trap the whole team. Sometimes I snipe aggressively but if you miss, you just used an ult for nothing. So, using it effectively in team-fights might not get you the kills but it might secure the win. Another thing you can do is use your ult defensively. For example you could use your ult to trap the jungler that's about to kill you or your team mates. Don't forget to spam harvest when you use your ult and a god is trapped inside and activate them with Flourish to deal maximum damage.

As Persephone Always stay in the backline unless you have the advantage in a team-fight or if you can secure the kill!

The Most Important Tip in the world is to always have harvest on INSTANT CAST PLEASE... So many people say that they hate Persephone because of her harvest but if you can just put it on INSTA you will Dominate!

The End?!?

I hope you enjoyed my guide! It took me a lot of time because its my first one. I appreciate any comments or anything I can do to improve. Now get out there and become the gods you were meant to be!!

Your info on when you die is now incorrect. When you die you only push up daisies(like her #2)

I'd suggest adding Shard / Coin (Coin in Pendulum builds) for percent penetration, also good to get more use out of Reaver.
