Introduction

Hey guys, i made a little Guide about my favourite god, Cupid.
I play him since his release and tried to build him in many different ways, but now i think i found the most useful build for him (imo).

I wont say anything about the Cupid himself, if you play him you know his skills and what he is like. This isn't a Guide for "Cupid newcomers".

I'll now explain you why i choose the following items..

Items

I first focused totally on physical power, what went pretty well, but i realized that it sometimes makes more sense going on attack speed and other cool stuff.

The first item, HEARTSEEKER, gives Cupid a huge physical power. In combination with THE EXECUTIONER it will be enough until you go for the DEATHBRINGER.

HAND OF GODS isnt really needed if you are in mid lane, but on side lanes it's always useful to kill the creeps easily, help your mate to jungle or to jungle on your own.

THE EXECUTIONER is for the price one of the best items and should be buyed 2nd. You are able to decrease the enemies physical protextion by 60 and you gain a physical power + attack speed boost.

You may have recognized that i am not buying any boots. Thats because i think they are pretty useless unless they give you speed, but with FATALIS in combination with HEARTSEEKER you get the 20% movement boost you need. More is still always useful, but you need to keep the slot for better items. FATALIS gives you a 35% attack speed which is ****ing HUGE and it reduces your cooldowns by 20% which also is a pretty nice thing.

After that you will go for the SOUL EATER to get a little lifesteal for healing so you dont need to spam hearts for yourself all the time. It also gives you an attack speed and health boost. Cool stuff!

After that you buy the DEATHBRINGER for a physical power boost and all the critical stuff.

At last i picked the QUIN BLADES because they give you everything you need - health, attack speed, and power.

The creeping course also isnt really needed but a it's a nice item if enemies are always able to escaoe before you get them.

Skills

Well, there isnt much to say. At beginning always buy mana pots, because you can heal yourself with the hearts.

If i am in a 1v1 fight against hebo for example, i always hit him with my heartbomb to slow him, then i put my ult what he will slow him again and then just autoattack him. He always dies. The only escape is a friend of whim who stuns me or using his ult. Keep that combo in mind, you are always able to kill low-defens enemies with that.

Oh yes, and keep in mind that you passive also can stun the enemy for one more second.

Summary

Now i gave you much information about the build and a bit of how to play cupid like using his skills in the right order etc. . Try it and if you are a good player, you will see the result.
