Nike Lore
It is often said that history is written by the victor. If that is true, then history is shaped by a single Goddess: Nike, the winged warrior.
When the fastest runner bears a golden medal, when a cunning hunter slays the fiercest beast, when the soldiers seize the day, the Faithful of Olympus praise Nike. Without her favor, failure is ensured, and obscurity certain.
Even mighty Zeus, a king among Gods, seeks the favor of Nike. On the smoke strewn fields of antiquity, when the God of Thunder marched against his Titan forebears, Nike fought by his side, her dauntless blade inspiring confidence in her allies as they faced an impossible foe. Without her, all the heavens are left to wonder if Zeus would have carried that day. Had Zeus fallen, the world as it is known would have fallen with him.
So, all hail the victor! She has finally taken the field. As Gods and Gorgons clash and battles most fierce and foul are fought, she alone shapes the day. For history is written by the victorious, and Nike is victory incarnate.

Is she a bad God or somethjng? No ones playing her.
And when I play her I do amazing.
And she was being banned left and right. I assume that because of her basic attack chain
her 1 is a supercharged SWK
just enjoy your freelo until console finds out about her.
Let's be honest. Her passive is only maxed in either Conquest or Clash due to minion count being weird in Arena or the small number of Joust minions. And most joust games end before level 20 anyways.
I've never get her to be broken besides her minion clear being a cleave. And that's some solo lane madness.
from what i have seen, she is pretty broken. her mix of utility, weirdly super strong rotation power, really oppressive early after she hits 5, and strong cc. her utility is actually really strong and provides really strong benefits, especially in this meta (tanks+healers)(Not
plus, ever since her preformance at SWC, a lot of people picked her up and realized just how strong she was.
congrats on your move to PC, hopefully matchmaking grants you less cancer than before. also, i'm pretty surprised you dont see her a lot. i see her a ****ton, and her passive legit wins my ranked games.
Anyways, what could be some good balancing for this God?
I played a couple of matches of Conquest and seen her once,and that was in the jungle. Odd enough. They lost that match and I've built her tanky ever since.
Doesn't her passive make [Mercury]] better?
I have her ultimate the benefit of the doubt because, well, ultimate are supposed to be kinda broken-ish. Especially with offered counters.
edit: ultimates being strong in general are a good point, but
I like her a lot honestly. Her passive is just a bit strange.
Can't get it to work in Arena lol. Once you clear that many minions the game is over.
Function/Role: Firstly, she's basically just going to be used in Solo...she doesn't bring enough to the table CC-wise to be a Support, and doesn't have enough burst and/or CC to be a high-tier Jungler. Solo fits her quite well anyway...trade blows early, wait for team god and minion kills to boost the passive effect for a strong late-game for the entire team.
Style: To me, she's a blend of
However, just read that her
Building )Ability-based): So, with not a lot of CC, I see her being built more as a standard ability-based bruiser, with some protections, definitely CDR, and maybe looking to get additional team function out of item passives.
Pen/protection reduction - you might want to consider her protection reduction ability, and shy away from
I can also see other team-based items being good, rather than just pure individual survival (so
One last thing to think about, but should only be a minor consideration...the more health she has, the higher her shield when she ults. So items with health are nice to have, but not crazy essential, since enemies that see her in her ult form might just choose not to focus her until it's down...basically it's easy to avoid.
Anyway, some proposed builds...
Defense first:
Aggressive start:
Building (Basic attack-based): If you're facing a
Edit: Her ult also appears Busted.
Don't get me wrong, both those things are very strong, but they don't blow my mind. Admittedly that slow duration is pretty ridiculous if you can't cleanse it though.
