Chernobog Build

Ability/Auto Based

Notes Start with Hunter's blessing, Morning Star, and 4 healing potions. Hunter's blessing and Morning Star both provide MP5, so there is no need for mana pots. If possible, stay in lane until you have 2000 gold to buy Transcendence, otherwise buy Charged morning star or the highest possible tier boots with the gold in hand. Ideally, you should get Transcedence by the second return to the fountain. Next, build Asi. Asi will give you a large Attack Speed boost as well as lifesteal. This is the most important item to get as soon as you have Transcedence and Ninja Tabi. Follow with crit items, and replace Hunter's blessing with Bloodforge for extra power and Wind Demon with Ninja Tabi once you can buy the speed potion. This build is extremely powerful late game, and each auto attack does around 300-400 w/o crit and 600-800 w/ crit. Keep in mind the crit chance is very high in this build.

I've only made one other guide: a Medusa ADC guide. However, I feel qualified to make this one as well as I am currently Diamond Rated for Chernobog in Ranked Conquest. Chernobog is probably one of my favorite gods to play because of his high crowd control and global ultimate.

Early Game

During the early game, it is important to play conservative, as Chernobog's only real escape from danger is his dash (which has a relatively high cooldown). The top priority is to outfarm your opponents. This can be done easier with his ability 1+2 combo. Continue farming until the opposing adc is close to half health, then engage in lane. Make sure to stay with your support, as chernobog is relatively weak early on. I do not recommend using your dash for damage unless the enemy can be killed with it, because it is Chernobog's only real mobility. Remember to keep playing conservatively, and DO NOT CHASE KILLS unless they are within reach.

Mid Game

Once you get Asi, you are ready to start engaging in more fights. Remember that your ultimate can be utilized for both escaping (by flying to a different lane and dashing off) and finishing kills, so don't spend it on chasing a kill that you aren't 100% sure of. Your most important attack is your ability 1+2 combo, so don't enter a lane close to an enemy god unless both abilities are ready. Use your ultimate if there is an enemy with low health, as it nearly guarantees a kill (and stacks to your Transcendence). Farming is still a major priority.

Late game

Once the build is complete, you're ready to shred through anyone. And by anyone I mean anyone. His attack speed, critical chance, penetration, lifesteal, and power let him easily shred through squishy enemies (assassins, mages, hunters) with 4-5 shots, and his root is deadly as it guarantees at least 3-4 of those shots.
