Pros/cons

Pros
1. Ranged AD carry with strong damage Hearth Bomb
2. Can stun with Heart Bomb and Fields of Love
3. Can run from danger Flutter
4. Can heal and restore mana with Share The Love

Cons
1. U need to play carefully with him beacuse hes squishy
2. Cant escape from some ulties

Build items

1.I start with SprintSprint beacuse it gives me 10% of speed and if I find myself in danger it gives me speed boost for 6sec or for hunting.

2.I buy Warrior Tabi beacuse that boots are for ranged physical AD. I buy only 1 lvl for start.

3.Then I buy 1 Mana potion and 1 Healing Potion

4.After i see my enemies on lane i mostly buy Creeping Curse, but if u have enemies like buy Purification Beads beacuse remove stuns from gods.

Or buy Aegis amulet to dodge ulties. Prefer against gods like
or if u get ganed or outnumbered by enemies.

5.Then I buy 2nd level of Warrior Tabi

6.Buy full Devourer's GlovesDevourer's Gloves beacuse gives u attack damage and lifesteal.

7.I buy 3rd level of Warrior Tabi

8.Then get Qin's Blades beacuse of physical power, attack speed and some health.

9.Next item is The Executioner for attack damage and attack speed.

10.Then Deathbringer for attack damage, Critical strike chance and Critical strike damage.

11.Last item it depends on enemy team.
Mosty I buy Warlock's SashWarlock's Sash for some magical damage, and for mana and health so Cupid get some extra mana and health.
Or if want bigger damage buy Rod Of Tahuti for big magical damage.

Gods that Cupid hates to play against

Cant escape ulty.
Pull stund and you are dead.
Can kill u with 2 abilites .
If he ulty you. you are dead.

Best/Worst lane partners

Every god can lane with every god but here are my personal best combos for

Tank with stuns can be great support.
Great combo ulty.
Both stun and great physical/magical damage.
Good combo ulty, plus ares can slow enemies speed.
Good combo ulty.
Best combo in game. He pull and just shot and kill.
Good combo ulty.
Good combo but as support to aracne.


________________________________________________________________________________________
Worst lane partners

Bad player with , if he lock you in ulty you are easy kill.
No combo.
Both squshy physical gods.
Only as tank. Its useless lane partner.

Playing strategy

Cupid is god for late game.That means he is not good at begining as at late game.So for begining just farm a lot.Be carefull beacuse he can die easy.Dodge ulties and stuns. With this build focus a lot on autoattack.
He can play all 3 lanes but i prefer right and left lane.
And with good partners on lane u can get kills easy and fast.

I hope i helped you with my build. Thank you for reading and i hope for feedback.This is my build in game and i like it. If u didnt understand something just ask it.
Good luck in game.
