Intro

These are builds to be used with cupid on arena mode for best results, id imagine theyd work well in other modes but to be honest ive only been using them for arena and once in a while assault. I've done very good using both of these builds.

How to use the build

Cupids role in an arena is to do the work of an assassin and provide heals. Stick with the rest of your team and use your #1 skill to initiate if a god gets too close, that'll give them the slow, and after you get a hit you can auto attack away. If you find your health dwindling you should use the #3 skill as an escape and go back to base and heal / restore mana. If your team is near you and you see an opportunity to catch about 3-4 of the enemy in your ult use it, that'll initiate a fight when they'll be getting stunned constantly. During this always throw out heals to your teammates and for yourself if you notice you're getting low, because any time an ally picks up a heart you get mana back for it. If you're on a team with Hades, Ares, or Odin, and they happen to capture 3+ people in their ults, sometimes even 2 you should throw up your ult in the same area so people who evade it like chang'e have a hard time escaping. For the most part after you get the first 3-4 items you will be doing a ridiculous amount of damage to people with low defense, a whole lot. You should be getting kills left and right once you master the heart bomb, auto attack, and run away with #3. Or sometimes you don't need to run if your team is grouped up.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

    Very High Damage Output
    Extremely fast auto attack
    Supports team well with improved heals
    If the build with frostbound hammer is chosen, you're heart bomb skill and basic attacks all slow down enemies

Cons:
    Low Defense
    Not much you can do against a good Tyr player so far with this build if you're on your own.

So, just some background.

I am an experienced MOBA player, have written three guides which have all been homepaged, have a negative K/D on only 6 gods - Cupid, Aphrodite, and 4 tanks.

This is now cut down to 5.

I only played cupid in one assault match - he was my least played god simply because I didn't like a support carry, I prefer hard carry.

But following your build, and ranking, plus having more experience since the first time I played him, I went 6-0-11 in an arena.

Long story short, this guide is really good, good work! XD

The only reason i staggered the ranks on the abilities is for arena id like to be able to provide a decent amount of healing, but while keeping the heart bomb ability as my main damage (besides auto attacks). This way i can play a bit of support and keep my teammates alive, i take my time maxing out the flutter ability just because its a good escape but the attack speed increase only lasts a few seconds, so i pretty much use it for either rushing in and using an ult or as an escape.

No problem seen with the build - both damage and attack speed which is lovely for stacks on his passive, but why do you stagger the ranks in the abilities? Why don't you max one, then move on? Instead you drag out the ranks over a long time.

Good build, but no guide. Still a +1 for the skeleton.
