Medusa hair trigger intro

Hey guys this will be my first guide i wanted to make this cause i checked out other guides to see if i can get any ideas and well most of them were the same build and honestly dident work well in my eyes sure the items were well themselves but they dident cooperate with medusa if u get what i mean? this wont be long at all i round off against medusas here and again and i honestly havent seen one compete well with what i can do in terms of maximum damage and knowing what to do.

medusa hair trigger items

The items i choose are because i love to play agressive with medusa i feel like thats how she was meant to be played, medusa don't like slithering away she only likes making people run away and the way i do this in terms of the items helping me is obviously the bluestone in the beggining, now ive had a few say this is no good and i say why? it legit gets me ill say 45% of my kills when there running then the last tick from my vipers and the passive will kill them then i move to my main item the transendence which supplys me with mana all game and a nice boost of damage then what really will come into play with my next two items works so well with medusa i find it funny that i dont see it with every medusa its quite an easy thought which is my void shield and the executioner which allows me to go in with my dash and root them (thus the shield passive reduces protections when im near) i shoot ONCE then use what people say is terrible which is a wrath and trust me a second will make or break you. i stun them with wrath shoot my last two shots of viper which should kill the person u targeted if neccasary just spit on them if you dident kill ur target with all that you either targeted a tank or someone whos built a damn well against you or is at least 3 levels higher which shouldent happen a trans with 15 stacks and a level 2 spit at lvl 9 will clear a wave pretty much.

medusa hair trigger closing

now im not gonna stay long i just want to help a few out if they play medusa i want to see people do what i can do im easily capable of 100-0, 1-3 people if they are in front of me and keep deciding to look at me. Now i see lots of people also just do the ult for the hell of the ult i wanna make people clear after reading this that well if ur playing against someone of more skill than you its an easy look away as soon as you see medusa go yellow turn the eff away no reason looking at her wonderful face and also a magi blessing almost renders you useless but ive found a way past this and thats dun dun dun :D a wrath.

Now back to when u should ult ive found that hiding a corner waiting for someone to creep up such as a poor isis what you should do is be hiding behind the corner making sure ur not visible start ur ult where ur standing them come out from the corner doing the ult so they have NO reaction time to look away what they see is ur face from the corner nothing else no yellow or anything and its death. ANOTHER way is if ur weak I LOVE when im weak and another squishy is hunting me its like the same as last time when ur running start ur ult looking away from him fleeing then suddenly turn on him freezing him put on ur vipers dash at him and spit and shoot this should suprise depress him.

now one thing to say before im dont this should help enough hopefully is the bluestone switch it out for a malice late game as u still keep the damage per tick and the crits will annhilate every one and well if ur looking for gods that work well with medusa heres half a list:
Ares: after his ult dash in that **** and kill everything its what i do half the time
athena: This is no question you should know why.
nox: me and my friends have a little combo nox comes into my shadow i dash at whoever when i root them nox explodes and puts down her 3s bubble and grabs while i shoot and spit
now some people that i HATE when i play medusa
Ymir: if u dash and try to combo while this monstrosity is near be warned u will get frozen and killed half the time
bachhus: dont think i spelled his name right but whatever just well you know his jump burp ult kills everything makes me depressed.
nemesis: alright this one is more a me problem i think ive faced of many times vsing a nemesis and i cant win its ridiculous i try my dash stun and all that ill get her always 10% hp for her to come out the stun and put the shield on ult and then slow me for a turn around kill MIGHT be just me but be careful anyways
chang'e: well her dance renders u useless thats that if u try to wrath her she will ult and blade the **** outta you so its a no go unless ur with people

Thats my guide for medusa. HEY you calm down idc bout my spelling and one thing i think i forgot to mention is if ur a medusa and u see someone with a magi blessing theres 2 ways you can do this if u have a wrath

1. use ur ult to get the magi blessing off them afterwards put ur vipers on ensure a dash root SHOOT 1 viper stun her/him for 1 second shoot your last 2 vipers and spit on them
this should end the soul that they were.
2. pretty much reverse 1: dash at them and use wrath getting rid of there magi blessing IMMEDIATLY afterwards ult them in there face and continue to munch on the soul that they was

now my guide is probably everywhere in terms of my explaining but hey its my first right?

this is my build of medusa no one said you have to like it or agree i personally think this works all to well with medusa and crushes my enemies. medusa can do anything too btw if ur jungling just replace ur bluestone with the mask ull be with a little less viper power but ull be happy wandering he map with full mana and hp :D

But ummm...where's the move speed?!? Also...is this for conquest or other? If for conquest, you're lacking some sustain for lane presence...and Bloodforge is too expensive of an item as your 4th, if you pick that up after your starter + 3 core items.

If this is for other modes, then cool (other than the missing move speed). Also...your ability leveling isn't complete...mind fixing that?

Though I never start Bluestone Pendant, personally, it's something I should probably try sometime. Will withhold a vote to see if you continue to fix and add to the guide.
