"What You Will Learn"

1. This guide will teach you the pros and cons of the god "Vulcan"
2. It will give you beginner as well as "pro" tips on how to use him fully.
3. Will teach you how to "Properly" use ALL his skills in their fullest. Dishing out every damage you can give in just 2 seconds.
4. Will help you survive and win a 1v1 encounter with ALMOST any god.

Skill Usage and a Tactics.


Backfire



"This is a strong skill that doubles as a dash if used properly (Recommend using it on "Instant cast" if you've memorized it's range). If your on the "Quick Hits" build the full CD on it drops down to 4 seconds. Giving you a lot of "Spear" like pokes. Just press 1 and make a 180 quick turn each time you want a dash."

The Inferno cannon



"Easily killed. Yet kills easily. This cannon can and will tear down any squishy opponent to shreds. This is when Blink can be used well."

The Magma Bomb



"An annoying skill for the enemy and the best way to combo off the rest of your skills. Magma Bomb and Backfire are both skill shots. Magma Bomb being the hardest. Use it to set an enemy open for yourself or your teammates. Or to send someone flying away or to you or your teammates to kill. The way they get knocked back depends on the position they are from the landing spot of the bomb. Just practice it out in-game."

The Earthshaker



"This can rekt even at closest of range when Soul Reaver is active. Can almost remove 2/3 of a squishy's health if not shot at full range. Best tactic for this is to initiate first with it then blink in for the easy kill if it makes perfect contact with your target, as long as they don't see or hear you coming."




Tactics


"Side Step Cannon"
This works well with a full CD. Using Backfire, Shot and move to either side. Never using your A and D keys but facing the direction and running towards it (Obviously its faster than side stepping). This is good against a 2 man gank from the enemy. Pop a hit then run to either side. Turn around and pop another one.

"Blink and they're Dead"
As long as there isn't any minions this is a sure 1v1 win.
This utilizes Magma Bomb + blink + Inferno Cannon + Backfire. Bomb your target first. Even if it misses blink right behind. If your first shot didn't miss then that leaves them .5 seconds open for your turret to sneak in 2-4 shots as well as your Backfire. If full health they will be severely crippled. Maybe enough for a Poly shot if your in "Hard hits" build. Especially if you have Soul Reaver ready this will be an easy gank for you.

"Invulnerable Tower Dive"
This is when your laning mid and sending a friendly gank on the other lanes

If your below 10 make sure your at full health because the tower will be able to kill you. You'd rather get the kill and leave out alive. When the enemy is VERY (or mostly at lesat) crippled and is hiding behind their tower. This is when Aegis Pendant + any other skill works. But, if they're REALLY crippled. I'd suggest using the turret. Better of making sure the hits actually make contact than using Magma Bomb or Backfire which need both TIMING and SKILL (But you can try to 3+1 it). Using the Aegis Pendant, walk first until you got them in a good range of you turret or any other skill. (If they're smart they would come around you instead or just run if they really are that weak) Preferably Inferno Cannon then pop the pendant and walk out while the tower ignores the turret and goes at you. Leaving your turret free to finish off your target.

Well there is no W.I.P. in the title so I'm just gonna say this guide is pretty bad.
If it is a WIP however, it's pretty promising.
