Introduction

Mercury is my favorite good by far in the game the rush and fun you get when you hit someone
and do massive damage damage with crits is insane he is also really fast and mobile those two things make him one the most deadly assassins in the game if you don`t know how to play against him or counter him.So lets get to the items that i recommend you should use with him.

Summary

In summary mercury is really fun and strong god to play but you need to know how to play him
because if you don`t your`e can be ruined really fast because mercury is very squishy god even for assassin so i will teach you how to him so you would be able to smash enemy faces with your`e crazy crits and be out faster then your`e able to say made you look.

Skills and advices for combos

Skill time

Ok we do start with hes passive but bear with me it`s really important to his kit

Passive - Fastest God Alive

For every 1 ft traveled, Mercury gains a 0.1% physical power bonus on his next basic attack (max 50%).
Mercury also gains additional physical power equal to 25% of movement speed from items or abilities.

So this passive is very simple and powerful it shows why mercury does not need physical power items because hes passive grants him phis power for just walking.

Ok know that where done with passive lets get to bread and butter of kit hes first ability

1st Ability - Made you look

Mercury moves in the blink of an eye, dealing one melee attack to every enemy within the target area. Each hit may trigger item effects for basic attacks, and can critical hit.

This skill is the second most important ability in his kit you might ask why is it important the line that says ,,each hit may trigger item effects for basic attacks, and can" pretty much what that means if you have high enough critical chance you will crit with your`e 1 there go do massive crit damage.thats why you should always build crit items
on mercury.Ok lets move to hes second ability.

2nd Ability - Maximum velocity

Passive: Mercury gains increased movement speed.
Active: Mercury increases his Attack Speed and ignores Movement Speed Slows for the duration.

So this thing makes him punch faster letting him dish out those crazy crits even faster and he also moves faster and is immune to slows enough said about this op skill lets move on to his last two skills.

3rd Ability - Special Delivery

Mercury dashes forward, knocking aside minions, grabbing the first enemy god he encounters and spinning them. The enemy god takes damage until the effect ends, and Mercury throws the god in the direction of his choice.


Pretty much your`e main escape and fight engagement skill nothing else really to say.


Ultimate - Sonic Boom


Mercury gathers energy for a powerful dash, with the range extending as he does so. He travels the distance faster than the speed of sound, dealing damage to all enemies, stunning them and spinning them around in a random direction.


Your`e main skill to get in the thick of the fight or create big fight or escape from bad situation but you have to remember that you ult has to charge up so use it as an escape only in the worst situations.


Now about the glorious combos pretty much it`s very simple you use your`e 3 then 1 then activate your`e 2 for attack speed and movement buff and punch your`e enemy to death with
your`e insane crits.The second combo is pretty much the same order but you engage with your`e ult repeat the same combo of 3 1 then activate 2 and again punching to death occurs.

Pros / Cons

Now the easy part of rating the god.

PROS:
1)super fast clear camp (very fast clear in season 5 conquest because of the changes made to camp hp.

2)Of course your`e crazy crits that let you destroy mages and hunters

3)Quite easy god to play as long you know when to leave the fight.

4)Death bringer enough said.

CONS:
1) Since your`e building crit you don`t really have any defensive stats besides the lifesteal you get from blood forge in late game.

2) Has harder time at the first few levels compared to other asassins.

3) And of course mercury is a late game god so where just gonna leave it at that.

4) Has very low utility compared to some other assasins like thor or serqet but you don`t play mercury for his utility.

Closing words

To close out i would like to say one last thing about this wonderful god called mercury he is my favourite because he is different not like other assasins and of course i like killing
others with massive crits.
