Introduction to Hades

Hades the king of the underworld has a very good lane period with an awesome sustain with his 3 making him stay in lane all the time he has mana, and also a masive damage in early. In late he fall off if hes alone, he must be grouped where he can be very usefll with hes ult.

Taking magiacl potion hes an awesome god to invade with because of hes healing and great damage in area.

Skills

A good Hades never uses his 1 if its not necessary, its his only sacape and he has long cooldows, you dont want to get ganked and dont be able to scape.

His damage becomes real when its followed by many minions marked with hes passive and detonates with his 3


In lane:
Use 2 to mark all the line and then the 3 to take all the line in one shot. Try always to mark also your enemy so he won't want to be near you.

Also try to force your enemmy to use his scape before making ur ult.

COMBOS!

To reach somebody: 1 or blink -> 3 -> 2 -> 4

In close combat: 2 -> 5 -> 1 -> 3

To scape: 2 -> 3 -> 1

Pros / Cons

PROS

Awesome Early-Mid
Insane Sustain
Hard to kill
Has a scape
Can push almost any god
Nice ult in teamfights
The best dance in the game

CONS

Poor late
Sooo long cooldows
Without 1 he has nothing to do
In late he cant do anything against ranged gods
Its easy to sacape from his ult

Counters

Hades is a good counter against:
Basicaly any god that has to be near minions to farm

Loki
Bakasura( taking midgardian )
Ra
Change
Chaac
Fenrir
Odin
...
Hades is countered by:
Gods with a good safe farm and stuns

Ok man... its a nice build but ill have to desagreed in a lot of things, first of all, poseidon is not a counter for hades, if the hades is well builded hades will rekt him in every stage of the game, or at least in my case is that way, every time i see a poseidon i get happy because i know i will kill him, and hades is not good against bakasura... if he use his ult and you are in bad position youre dead whatever you do, hades can beat baka but has to be very carefull, and that tyr counter i dont believe it... well in my case i have never lost a lane or a 1 vs 1 against tyr. other thing, i play him in other way, i always use my 1 to attack and use my two to run away, is my way, i would recomend you concentrate more in cooldown reduction, and hades with 40 % of cc reduction is heven, this is my opinion. cya good guide but you should add more information tho.

Gotta agree with Regicide about the Shoes of Focus, without any other cd reduction item such as chronos' pendant etc. the shoes of focus would be great. Team fights break out so often in late game so having your ult more frequently is a great help.

the 2 definietly does add blight what your referring to is when the target is already blighted it fears but even then the blight isnt consumed.


as for the build why not shoes of focus? yes magi grants mana and more power but being able to use his skills more frequently is more useful imo. becuz of hades's long chill i feel cdr is very important in this build i always try to fit one cdr item on him as it helps tremendously. also if getting hit too hard in late-game why not hide of the nemean? mixed with shield of the underworld leads to death for any hunter or basic=based jungler stupid enough to focus you during your ult lets say.

The only obvious issue is where you say to use your 2 to mark, the 2 doesn't actually mark it only consumes
