Who is pele?

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

I'm atheist, but god bless you if you haven't meet her. Pele is the second newest assassin and first polynesian goddess in the game.

Pele's abilities make her a really interesting goddess. She looks like a button-smashing classic (, ), but actually she has a strange (and over powered) kit, which can allow her to be very versatile in what comes to roles.

She has high 1v1 potential and great single target damage, great jungle clear, sustain () and she also has a good teamfight.
This is something that very little assassins have. Usually, those who have one quality of these, lose in the others (for example, we have , who has poor clear and teamfight but really good single target damage, which is the same for ). But is a really good example of all these three categories.

Pele flourishes and fires out a magma orb ahead of her in a line. Once the fiery projectile reaches maximum distance it hovers for a brief instant, solidifies, and then returns back in pieces, dealing damage to enemies on the way back. The number of shards returning is dependent on the rank of this ability.

How to play Pele

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Yellow arrows: Gankeable lanes.
Orange line(s): 's path.

First off, you should take your starting build which was already given in the building section, and go towards the Yellow Buff (1). Wait until game starts, and clear the speed buff with your mid laner's help (sometimes mid laners can start at mid, there you'll have to do it yourself).
After completing it, you should choose (But i recommend going to mana buff first if you want to get faster to mid) between going for XP harpies (3), or going for Mana buff (2).
After completing one of these, go for the other.
Then, go around mid. You should usually go for XP harpies (4). If the enemy jungler has already done these (Which is difficult since 's clear potential is dumb), just go mid (5).

Once you arrived mid lane, evaluate the situation.

Ask yourself:

Does my mid laner has a good early game?

Is my mid laner paying attention and well positioned?

Do i want to force him and try to kill someone?

Do i have enough mana? Does my mid laner has enough mana?

Where is their jungler now?

If the answers to these questions are positive, then you can try and apply some pressure in their mid laner. Maybe you'll get a kill or an assist!

After this, think if you want to go for left (or right, but in this case those are left) mid harpies, their red buff or your red buff. You can also invade the enemy back camps for a lead and for just having the timer. You can do oracles too if your mid laner wants to follow you. (6).

After this, you can do the fastest one and just go for the XP camp in the back.
If you want, you can also call your duo lane for the void camp (7), and if they are ahead you can gank lane and then invade void.

When finished, repeat. Look for ganks on the assigned places.

Items in depth

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Warrior Tabi

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

its a really good tool for Pele and for barely all physical gods in game.
Having 40 physical power and 18% movement speed at almost 3 minutes into the game, its really useful for rotating and ganking easily and more effectively. Boots increases your damage a lot, and allows you to chase enemies more efficaciously. Get this item as soon as possible.

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Soul Eater

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

its not an item that you see a lot nowadays. This is not a bad item, but there are better options out there. Stacking only for 60 physical power and some healing its not always the best option. But for some gods like , this item is insanely useful. Pele can heal all her HP with when this is alongside . It gives you cooldown reduction too, which is also useful on pele.

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠[/size]

The crusher and Jotunn's wrath

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

These two items can be picked up together or one or the other too.
contains some mana, a huge CDR boost allowing to spam her abilities more repeatedly, physical power and the most important; penetration.
has no CDR in it, but has more penetration, some useful attack speed (The conic basic attacks are easier to apply) and a damage passive.

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠[/size]

Arondight

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

This item on 's performance is yet to be seen, but what i think and what i expect is that having such a high movement speed with this passive and including that pele in is the speediest ***** in the city, its insanely useful. Also, this item includes the good old CDR, and the damage passive its really really good too.

It's a wrap!

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Well, that's enough for today. Let me see all your thoughts over this... Have a nice day, person!

I don't like her 3 being prioritized before "1". The 1 has 2 charges and is instant damage. Her 3 requires "sticking" which isn't going to happen.

I personally don't run SEater on her. She gets in bursts hard and gotta get out. I like to blink, knockup, ult, spam "1" x2 and use 3 to run away.

Also, does Crusher proc w/ "3" per tick? Most times I go Jotuun.

Hi!

Yeah, it was hard picking between and in which one to rush, but i must say that you can run any of the above. i prefer for clear and mobility (And stacked it does more damage).

its almost core!! everytime your passive pops up, you'll be ready to fight again!
Anyways, 60 physical power is more than a lot of items can provide. Yes, she needs instant burst, and its not taking that away from her.

Yes, does procs . its strong too. You can get both, or you can rush one and then supply the other one for other options (, , ).

(1) |

I've never had any trouble w/ her clearing. I start w/ 3 and max 1 first. Before my gank i'll have my 2 charges.

I'm staying away from Pele but next time I'll try prioritize 3 and get crusher. Maybe much faster clear, but doubt its much

"Weaknesses:

... Excuse me, I seriously don't know lol."

Falls off lategame, gets countered heavily by anti-heal, vulnerable to slows and roots (and hard CC of course even more so).

Falls off lategame

Idk what you mean, her late game is OK, she should build tanky to have a better performance and yes, gods like loki or freya or whatever's lategame are better but she has valuable CC in insane range.

I don't think she get's countered by antiheal. She has a HUGE heal, yes, we can agree in that, but it pops up once each 30 seconds, and the enemy never knows when will pop up since there's no mark or timer that can be seen from enemies.

All gods are vulnerable to CC, idk what you mean there

It's OK yes, but not that great compared to her early to mid game. Do you not know what falling off lategame means? Like has a silence, and an execute which means he can still be useful lategame, but that doesen't mean his lategame is as good as his early game.

wrote:

She DOES get countered by anti-heal, especially considering is a common pickup on her. With anti-heal she can't fight an assassin or ADC as easily once they have anti-heal online, like she can early game with her passive.

wrote:

In the case of she doesen't have slow immunity, so slows can counter her high movement speed from (especially ), and in the case of roots, her only escape/dash is on her ult - so she has to use that if she wants to escape from that. Otherwise she has to use which means she can be locked down very easily by any Hard CC once it's on cooldown.

, , , (damage mitigation), (damage mitigation), , (certain types), (certain types) , (slow immunity), gods with CC immunity in their kits (typically ult) etc... These gods have CC counters in their kits.

I think i agree with you in the antiheal part, i'll include it. But altough healers and Chiron have CC immunity in parts of her kit, the other gods you listed only have damage mitigation which is not a counter to CC, you can't activate under CC, you can't use or under strong CC, and i guess and have slow immunity..
But you're listing 9 gods only. She has a CC immune dash, and she can use it whenever he wants. Ultimates regenerate in time, more with all the CDR i included in all the builds.

But anyway, let me add the anti-healing counter

(143) |

I guess Damage mitigation isn't an inherent counter to CC, but it prevents you being bursted when locked down easily by CC. As for the rest of the examples they still apply.

(143) |

>you can't use Moonlit Waltz or Overhead Kick under strong CC

You can if they have a windup (Baron, Chronos) or if you pre-time it before they hit.

So now, we got:

Weaknesses:

CC can stop her from doing her thing
Antiheal hurts sometimes

Altough i disagree with the CC part, i included it. I always try to cover all points of view from anyone who wants to share them.

(143) |

I would be more specific with the CC part. Perhaps "CC can stop her from doing her thing" is too vague/universal, so I can see your point.

So, e.g. Weaknesses:

1. Especially vulnerable to roots and slows.
2. Passive/Sustain gets countered hard by Anti-heal.
3. Lategame isn't as strong as her early to mid game.

(105) |

another one for the list no instant escape (since her dash is on her ultimate and won't get you out of stuff like a dash would.

(143) |

She’s CC immune during her ult dash though

(105) |

Let me clarify her gap closer/escape is her ultimate on around a minute to 1,5 min CD depending on CDR. And honestly for what it does you don;t really want to use it every time you have to get out.

In most cases/scenarios it will be on CD so you will have to rely on your movement speed bonus from to get away or get close after the enemy used an escape. To reach the same distance between the gap there is a difference in amount of seconds it will take, that was what I was mostly referencing.

This increased time gives the enemy more time to use any close range ability (or AA) before needing an ability to close the gap to catch up. or makes it harder to dodge stuff.
