Introduction

Hey, sorry if there is something wrong with the skills but I'm Sevensins and this was my first build I have been playing as Mercury since the middle of season two. For me he was a tricky god to learn but his kit was my favorite, his abilities just work with each other so well and with crits. Over all he is just a near impossible god to box or run away from and I'm sorry there is no lore I am on a limited time and sorry for any repeats I do.

Pros

Pros

+ Enemies Don't need towers or phoenixes right

+ Two escapes he should always have one up

+ Crits hurt with him

+ His passive builds off his dashes

+ One of the few gods that actually punch other players

Cons

Cons

- Special Delivery WILL stop you to keep in mind as you try to run.

- He has almost no health so use your speed

- Stuns will more than likely be the end of you

Items

Now if you have ever played as Mercury then you know he hits fast and hard with crit. I build Ninja Tabi since it gives decent power and decent attack speed with the basic tabi movement speed.

Soul eater since the new passive gives movement speed with stacks that go to his passive for more power also you are faster cause you always need speed.

Stone cutting since you steal protections which is good for taking out annoying guardians (I'm looking at you Khepri and Kumbhakarna)

Wind Demon since pretty good damage and crit chance and reduce healing is nice

Rage since passive gives more crit

Death-bringer if you build crits you have to have death bringer

Warrior tabi since well at max rank two gives you 70% attack speed so no need for ninja and warrior gives you a bit more damage

Skills

Made you look is a great poke ability since the radius grows with the rank and it counts as a auto attack so that means CRIT

Maximum Velocity well its just a buff that gives 70% attack speed and it passively gives movement speed that means more damage to your regular passive.

Special Delivery not only stuns the person in contact but Mercury to so try not to hit people while dashing away or if fighting one that is trying to run stay in his way but other than that the throw can give him some great control.

Sonic boom it is easy to spot him charging but if you play him enough it gets easy to hit remember it causes disorient that spins people around then stops in a random direction and you can stop it early in case you want to get behind someone then use Special Delivery toss them to your team and commence the punching.

Creeping / Jungling

Not much to say here Mercury has high movement and damage to get to camps quickly and take them out faster and if you encounter a wild enemy Jungler just toss them into a wall and beat them down.

Team Work

Honestly Mercury works well with a ton of people I found out he is great with Athena, Sobek, and Khepri because they have taunts grabs and throws. in mid Janus and Sol work great with banish and slow (depending which version you are on) also Scylla since she has a slow and a root. For warriors him and Bellona will hurt.

The end

Well that's all i got for this build sorry for not having counter picks I just really wanted this build to show of the one I use and to find out how to use this I hope my build serves you well. Good luck in your matches
