Pros / Cons

PROLOGUE: Know a character's pros and cons before buying!
Pros:
-High damage, single or crowd.
-Mid~Late game hyper carry.
-Can help with jungling or just jungle and gank.
-Main build is very quick and efficient at killing most gods.

TEH MEH:
-Meh escapes. Ulti is only "real" escape. Banish is a 2 edged sword.
-Meh mana pool until at least mid game.
-Her skins really ain't all that cool(They're meh!), JUST SAYIN'.

Cons:
-Squishy, blond feminist flavored jello.
-Really bad time with a good tank.
-Tricky accepting the fact you're a ranged character only half the time, and an OP melee the other half.

Introduction

Hey there~ If you've seen me in game feel free to say hi, or add me :D. This is my first buld.

This build (Main one) is focused on:
High Damage
High LifeSteal
High Attack Speed & Movement
Hit and Run is your specialty. Chasing people down is your hobby. Versatility is your secret love affair.

Items


Boots of Magi: Early game speed is crucial. Plus 50 magic power.

Fatalis: Since you've got a high amount of early game dps, and already got a boost from boots move onto more speed and attack speed. In turn it gives you an edge of speed in both offense and defense. YOU CAN ALSO RUN BACKWARDS WITH NO SPEED PENALTY!

Demonic Grip: Around this time in game your Pulse skill should be max or near max, use this to give it a boost in power and speed.

Polynomicon: This gives added magic power and steal, it also has a passive that'll increase your damage on your next basic attack, relative to your magic power. Helps with burst damage.

Gem of Binding: More mana, health, magic power and 25% slow for the enemy when you hit them, great for chases as you are faster than most characters with this build.

Rod of Tahuti: Mmmm, dat magic power.




Screw mages having more than 1 option for attack speed, right? **** you Smite. The following is retired until it's fixed:
Asi: This nifty new item gives more attack speed and lifesteal, with a super lifesteal boost when your health is critical. Plus it is a low cost buy, which helps with how much your previous item cost. With Freya's passive and Asi kicking in I've been able to be critically low on health in a fight, run back to a crowd of minions and Pulsed them dead while damaging the enemy god and gaining most of my HP back.


No longer in build due to above:
Book of Thoth: Around this time in game your Pulse skill should be max or near max, use this to give it a big boost in power AND help with the 50 stacks for more mana which, in turn, give more magic power and sustain.

Skills

Brisingamen's Blessing

Freya's necklace grants her an additional +15% magical lifesteal.
~~~~~~~~~~
Who doesn't love other people's life energies and stuff?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irradiate

Freya activates a buff that lasts for 5 seconds that makes her basic physical attacks do an additional 40/55/70/85/100 (+35% of your magical power) magical damage. The additional damage is halved while Pulse is active.
~~~~~~~~~~
Someone up in your face? Use this to damage them more so than Pulse would, and while they run away shortly after from the overwhelming DPS, continue with it or switch to Pulse to hopefully secure the kills.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulse

Freya activates a buff that lasts for 5 seconds that makes her basic attacks ranged that deal an additional 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% of your magical power) magical damage and slow by 25%, doing the same damage to nearby enemies. While Irradiate is active, the additional damage is halved while the slow and area damage are not applied.
~~~~~~~~~~
Long range, carrying abilities and burst damage for the skill portion of the damage. Also slows the enemy. Great for chases(specially with Gem of Isolation), laning/farming and jungle. NOTE: If you need a big burst of damage and know it... Use Irradiate and then Pulse. CAREFUL: This will keep you without a buff for 4 seconds when it's over AND you lose the AOE/slow effects.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Banish

At her ground target location, Freya banishes her enemies into the air for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds. The enemies can't be hit or take action while in the air.
~~~~~~~~~~
Tricky skill to use, and execute properly. You can time it to even stop a Thanatos from landing their ultimate on you! General tips include to use it on melee enemies right on your back while you're running away from to slow them down, isolating an enemy from a crowd or slowing them while chasing them and using it to save team mates who are running around. REMEMBER: You shouldn't use it just so you can stop someone else from killing an enemy and getting the kill for yourself, because they are momentarily invincible while in the air. BUT! While they fall they can't do anything and you can land a hit or two on them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valkyrie's Discretion

Freya uses her Cloak of Feathers to fly above the battlefield where she fires down blasts of 120/150/180/210/240 (+40% of your magical power) magical damage up to 4 times while flying. Freya can't be hit during her ultimate and can right click to cancel it early.
~~~~~~~~~~
Use this to SECURE KILLS and in really hairy situations get away. It also syncs well with crowd control ultimates that your team mates use (For examples Hades or Ares ultimates with Freya ultimate = win.) ON THE OTHER HAND, it does well with escaping enemy crowd control ultimates.

Creeping / Jungling

-Wait until you have max Fatalis and level 5+, go lane with a solo laner. Trust me.
-Go for red, if there is no red get speed. Both are good for faster jungling and better ganking.
-You're a good carry. Help a lane recover if they need it!
-Once you have Asi maxed, KILL THE GOLD FURY CONSISTENTLY!! You can solo her no problem in 15 seconds or less with almost no health lost due to the massive lifestealing & attack speed. Massive gold for your team.

Team Work

-You do NOT have to take every kill, specially if it will possibly cost you your life.
-Don't KS your team mates all the time! They need to level/get gold too.
-YES, you CAN be a hero, but that doesn't mean you ALWAYS have to be. Don't always risk your life to save someone else's because you have to think, "Would I get more done in the long run doing this or this?" *Note, I mean for out of the way saves.
-Sync with banish for helping with chases, and sync your ultimate with others that crowd control so you can kill the enemy team. Don't rage or feel bad who gets the kills in those, the point is to kill a majority/all the enemy team there ABOVE ALL ELSE.

As Freya you don't want to fight anyone without Irradiate or Pulse up, so getting binding instead of Iso is pointless.



really now , you just made yourself sound stupid binding is for BASIC ATTACKS , and mainly people use pulse all the time with freya soo it would be smart to get iso instead trust me try it and you'll understand what u said fell on its self

like i just started useing freya and i used this build but theres 1 thing that don't make any sence , wouldn't it make more sense to use Gem of Isolation because it's passive is "Enemies hit by your damaging abilities will mover 25% slower for 2 seconds" and when your use Pulse with all that attack speed they will get slowed and cant run away based on who your attacking because with freya your not gunna be attack anyone with basic attacks u always use abilities with her i do at least , that just my thought and opinion

@Nightchill85: Pretty standard build now. Can't have variety now, can we smite?
~~
@Sirsir94: I like binding now, guess it does make a difference. Will add those soon!

Gem of Binding is better than Isolation. Apparently it even procs on your ulti (even if it doesn't its mostly used to secure kills anyway) and it makes it so you can stick with your basics while your spells are on CD.
In general, good guide! Maybe throw out some explanations on what actives to pick when.

Hi, interesting build, Freya is pretty squishy, so dropping two dmg items for speed and lifesteal doesnt make sense to me, She needs to get in and Assassinate then get out again. Fatalis makes sense but the Asi i dont think really worksm polymonicon with its big burst dmg is a better pick imo and if you need more attack speed demonic grip gives that while lowering magic defence and giving more magic power. Ill try this build out though to see if the lifesteal is significant or not.
