Cupid is a damn cool character, depending on the sort of play style you have, he can suit the needs of all players.
You will find above one build to start with, the build I normally play, however I will over time add builds that I often use depending on party situation etc.
I'm going to be working on this guide over the next day or so, but for now the build will do fine. I'll make sure to add more, including situations, gods to team with, best lanes etc.
If there is anything in particular you would like to see added, just leave a comment, also feedback would be great as this is my first guide. So unless it's about presentation, as I'm working on that, ALL feedback is appreciated. Thanks :)
Notes;
Wherever I mention 'Stunbomb' that simply means a Heartbomb with 10 hearts, for stun!
I have tried adding colour to make it look more pretty, but it isn't working so that can be done later.

Have you ever tried duo laning with an Aphrodite? I imagine she could make your combo very deadly, since she can land her Kiss, giving you an additional damage boost and opportunity to land Heartbomb. Followed up with a quick Love Birds while stunned then Back Off after you Flutter into your ult could easily seal a kill, + have her ult as an escape should their team focus you.
I haven't actually, it's very rare I even get an Aphro on my team in all honesty.
Would love to try it though.
Thanks for the feedback, will be adding more to the guide later, it's tough to find spare time when you have a 1 year old son :P
As for the Aphrodite/Cupid comments - I agree that Cupid/Aphrodite is more of a 'high sustain' combo than 'kill secure' combo. They both have heals, Aphrodite can protect both of them with her ultimate, Cupid has a dash, his ultimate can zone-cripple, and Aphrodite can stun and slow. Admittedly they can do a lot of damage by applying both Heartbomb and Lovebirds during a kiss, but, as JararoNatsu said, Fenrir and some others would be better choices.
1 I will gladly admit to this for a free cheesecake, though.
I have seen her keep disgusting horrible Fenrirs alive to the point of the Fenrir being the most fed God in that match. I have seen one cause unimaginable amounts of damage with a Neith at her side. Any God that has CC and pairs up with Aphrodite will be far more deadly.
That is a great suggestion though. Considering that Aphrodite (technically Venus) is Cupid's mother, it works in that sense and in that there is unkillability mixed with CC and damage.
If one posts just a build, they should post "build-only". Obviously, this is not a build-only guide.
Anyhow, this is a great guide for anyone just beginning with Cupid, as it provides visual examples of his spells, as well as general tips on how to play him.
I look forward to the finished guide.
For a start, it's not bad. However, I suggest you refrain from the "W.I.P." path. I would much prefer that you show the reader your finished work, and letting readers see the guide as it is built is not always the best option. In other words... finish it before you publish it.
Aside from the pictures in the Skills section, you should give your insight on the skills. What are they good for, what situations do they work best in, and how can they be used well are some good questions that you can answer there.
I assume you'll be adding a gameplay section? Good. It would also be good to add an items section so you can explain your reasoning for picking the items you did. A match-ups section would be great here as well, to let the reader know what kind of a challenge they could expect from some Gods.
Overall, not bad. Still don't like "W.I.P."
Thanks for the feedback :) Indeed I will be adding more sections, unfortunately while I was doing this I didn't realize how much time had passed. Haha :) I'll be working on it though :) I mainly wanted to publish it just for the build.
