Early Game


Hand of the Gods allows you to jungle with ease, it is a necessity for any jungler.

Warrior Tabi is a very good beginning item as it gives you a little more dps and movement speed so you can get in and out of your lane quick.

Core Build

Devourer's Gloves

With this build you will get extreme damage with enough sustain to be able to exchange blows with the enemy and come out on top.

Situational Items

You can choose any items you want after you have the core build, however these are my recommendations.


Deathbringer gives you extra Damage and critical chance.
Brawler's Beat Stick is great due to the critical chance and the debuff it places on enemies.
Purification Beads are a must vs enemies with high CC.

Poison Claws
Poison Claws gets you many kills. By the time the enemy god realize its time to run away the poison will tick the rest of their life away and you get a kill. Abuse it!

Broodlings have so many uses and are her second most versatile skill. Use them as wards, tanks for buff camps, and even as a trap to slow the enemy gods. A well placed Broodling can make or break your gank.
Drain Life is your biggest troll skill. It silences the enemy while giving you life back. This is also used for damage early game but later on mostly for the CC.Tangled Web
Tangled Web is a pretty good aoe slow, however it takes a while for it to travel the distance. That being said you should use this ability in almost every engagement as more often then not it can help you catch your target.
Cocoon is your most versatile skill. It can be used for anything... From pulling in enemies that are running, to stunning enemies that are getting to close. This is your all purpose skill.

1. Buy Hand of the Gods and Warrior Tabi
2. Run to blue buff (try to get there before the 50 second mark)
3. Start placing Broodlings in the camp so that you get between 4 and 5
4. Face outward so that if a enemy tries to gank you, you are prepared.
5. As soon as the camp spawns your Broodlings will hatch and tank the camp for you
6. DPS the camp down starting with the buff mob and moving to the weaker minions
7. Move to green buff and place down a Broodlings
8. When it hatches start attacking the camp and use Hand of the Gods to bring it down
9. Finally move back to your lane and help your partner

From now on help push the lane with your partner and every time you push past the point of a buff mob and your lane is safe to leave quickly move to the buff mob. From here the process is easy.

1. Place a Broodlings and wait for it to hatch so it tanks the mob
2. Use Hand of the Gods if it is up
3. DPS the camp down

• Cut off the possible escape routes with either Broodlings or Tangled Web
• Try to sneak up behind them and start auto attacking
• If they try to escape your traps should cut them off leading to a secured kill
• If they have a instant escape skill use Drain Life to jump onto them
• If all else fails and they still get away, use Cocoon to bring them back and kill them
• If they get away with very low hp don't bother chasing as Poison Claws will do the job
