Apollo rides his chariot across the sky, choosing when to land, dealing damage every .15s for .6s as he lands. Enemies hit by the last tick of the landing will also be knocked up.

Ability Type: Circle, Knockup, Damage
Damage Per Tick: 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 (+25% of your Physical Power)
Range/Radius: 60/20
Cost: 20 + 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 per second
Cooldown: 110s

Summary

Usually, you are going to want to use the carry build. ONLY use the bruiser build if the enemy team is Physical Power heavy. In that case, bruiser is much better, as you will be able to use your power slide and ult to initiate rather than escape. As Apollo, try to assassinate the enemy teams carries while keeping the tanks/bruisers locked down with Mesmerize. Good luck and have fun!!

I think you guys are being too harsh, I use this guide every time and have been doing well with him so in my opinion something is better than nothing in this case as it works for me

At least you can make reason why you make this build --" that's more an effort

Er....I think you just made Sunfall activate his ability, Kali Rage. But um..okay, delete the guide part in the title?

EDIT: My avatar is the perfect expression of my face when I typed that sentence out.

People really shouldn't be putting out unfinished guides just for the sake of being the first ones to have guides on a god. Whenever I see people do this, I just get the feeling they're trying to grab easy attention without any effort.

The Publish button is meant for completed guides, you shouldn't be publishing it. You should just be saving it until it is ready.

Sometimes, I feel the only way I can get my point across is to give my downvote whenever I see these. If you can't be bothered to actually write up a full guide before you publish it, you don't deserve a positive feedback.

He tried to at least give us a proper build to use, writing a guide costs a lot of time and we gotta be happy that we at least got a build for him the second day that he is out :P


Thanks! The reasoning I haven't "put any effort" into this guide yet is because he literally JUST came out. I knew people would be looking for a good build for him, so I at least wanted to give a build to follow. I personally don't have enough experience with him yet to give good honest strategies, as I'm sure nobody else does either. I have a few ideas, but I'd like to test them more before I just start suggesting stuff to you guys that could/could not be right. I have used this build every game though, and it does work very well. I'll update the guide as I play him more so I can give honest info. As for now, i'm sure you will be able to use this build and do quite well.

Lol, I used to know some people that wastes a good three hours straight writing a guide on a god right when it came out.
