Fafnir's Dragonic Ride (3.24)

You might not be planning to go for a pentakill. Actually it doesn't help because it will frustrate you. But you will be often on situations that can allow you to go for it. Try to be as calm as you can, being nervous will only make you fail your autos or your abilities and it doesn't help at all. If you see a situation where you can get it go for it, and if a teammate is on a triple/quadra, just help him get a penta and you can make him very happy ;)

Identifying when you can get a pentakill is also important. If you have an AA character it's great if you can pick enemies 1 by 1. You might be able to make it (if you're fed, or just confident) on a 1v2, but going crazy on 1v3 or more might end on a death. Idealy go 1 by 1 and with lifesteal you will be able to keep going. My first pentakill was with xbalanque on arena and was exactly like that. I caught all characters 1 by 1 and I did it, I even had more to keep going. Remember that if you get a penakill and you kill a sixth god that respawned, you get 2 pentakills, so once you got one, you can try going for more (that might just be possible on arena, or on very concrete situations on other maps).

If you're an ability god you need like the opposite. The more together enemies are, the bigger chance to get the pentakill. I've seen instant quadrakills with aoe ultimates, if you're lucky to get that you still have most of your kit for that last kill. And if you just killed 2/3 characters, well, keep going with the tips above.




I hope you enjoyed my guide and be sure to like it! :)

(AA gods) Assasins, hunters and mages:

-Fatalis is really useful. You don't get fatalis for hunters on conquest because you're looking for more damage, and that passive might just be useful at certain times, and for that you have your tier 3 sprint. But thinking of arena/assault where teamfights are constant, it is a good item. And not only that, it allows you to chase. It doesn't mean you won't need sprint, because to keep the chase you need enemies to be on range, so sprint is still a very good active that can help you achieve that pentakill.

-Lifesteal: Your damage is mostly on AA, and if you're facing all 5 enemies (with help almost for sure) you need sustain. It will take a good amount of AA to finish all enemies so you need to get health back. It's much much harder to get a pentakill without lifesteal, not to say almost impossible, at least for an AA god. So if you don't have that on your kit (arachne, kali, ullr have it) you should buy 1 or even 2 items (devo globes, bloodforge, asi fit on this purpose).

-Sprint/blink: When you're on a triple/quadra it is very likely that last enemy god is running away when he saw that comming. You're gonna need something to chase that
god who wants to deny your pentakill. Sprint or blink are very good at this point and also earlier on use. Sprint on a AA character is a must (if you have an active slot for it, because beads are more important).

(Ability based gods) Mages and assassins:

-CDR: If you're planning to get a pentakill either with a mage who relies on his abilities to deal it or on an assassin in the same situation, CDR is very important. You don't have much time to go for your next kill, so you need your abilities up as soon as possible. Maybe you're lucky and you get a very nice ultimate with vulcan, isis, poseidon, kukulkan... and you get 3-4 kills on that one. In that case, just go for the last 1-2 kills and you will have 3 abilities available, but it's most likely that you max get a pair of kills with your ult, or maybe you're saving your ult for later. In that case, you need your abilities back as soon as possible, because too much time between kills means the count ressets. Characters with low cd on abilities may not need cdr (he bo, nox), but still on those ones it is highly recommended for your pentakill.

-Greater purification: For the same reason as above and both things combo very well. My third pentakill was with he bo on assault and I had used my 1, 3 and 4 for the first 3 kills, so I had nothing to keep going. But I had my tier 3 beads available so just used that and got my 1 again instantly and my 3 soon which allowed me to finish my pentakill. A lot of frustrated pentas are because you don't have anything else to use, use greater purification and get 3 abilities back to keep going. This is also very useful for AA characters.

-Polynomicon: Not a must but very helpful to lasthit. Although it has been nerfed hard it is still useful and it's just like having an extra ability. Using that last auto to finish a kill can be a difference between another quadrakill or a pentakill.
