Hades Guide - Death from below [Hades AP Tank Build]

Hey, this is my very first guide. I decided to create it, because it works fine on me. So i want to share it with you.
Please be patiant with my lack of english skills.

First of all, let me tell you something about Hades and his spells:

Hades is an AP Tank. The best way to play him is, if you buy AP, Tanky and Magical Lifesteal items.

At first his passive: Blight "Hades' normal staff attacks apply a debuff to the enemy, called Blight. This debuff stays on the target for 5s and can be refreshed. If an enemy is afflicted by Blight, each of Hades' other powers have an additional effect."

Do always autoattack the enemy, before you use one of your abilites.
Your abilities get other effects and become stronger.
Lets talk about these:

He has 2 abilities and his ultimate to deal damage.
Spell number one: Death From Below; is your engage and retreat spell. With this spell you can charge to your enemies and escape through walls. More important: You blight enemies with it.
So you don't have to autoattack him after this.

So if you charge to your enemy with Death from Below, the enemy has blight on him, and you can spam your next abilty. This next ability should be " Shroud of Darkness" It mutes the enemy; but if he has blight on him, he also gets feared. In this moment, he cannot use any abilities. This is very important for you and your team.

After the enemy is feared, do autoattack him and cast " Devour Souls". This is an important spell! It deals a lot of damage. If the enemy is marked by your passive, Devour of Souls even heals yourself and your team in range of the ability.

After you did this rotation, you should directly use your ultimate Pillar of Agony. If the enemy is still alive, try to mark your target as much as possible with your auto attacks till your first ability "Death from below" is ready again.

Now lets talk about the items.
You start with Boots of the Magic and Bancroft's Talon. Meditation and one Health Potion The boots grant's you MP and movement speed, and Bancroft's Talon grands you Magical Lifesteal and mp. Especially in combination with your spell Devour of Souls. Thanks to Meditation you wont have any mana problems.

After you maxed Boots of the Magic and Bancroft's Talon, your next item is Ethereal Staff. It grants you much HP and ap, which is good combination for an AP Tank.

After you maxed out Boots of Magic, Bancrotf's Talon and Ethereal Staff, you need to gain some restistances. In my opninion, Wall of Absolution and Void Stone are perfect items.
Void Stone: Supports your team thanks to the aura.
Wall of Absolution: This item grants the owner additional physical protection when hit by a basic attack.
The last item is optional. If you want to support your team even more, Pythagorem's Piece is a good choice then. Another optional item is Chronos' Pendant which reduces your cooldowns of abilties by 25%.


Spells: You max out meditation so it grants you additional heal and Shell to support your team.

Pro
- Tank with a lot of damage.
- Can heal the team and himself.
- Best team ultimate

Contra
- He's weak in early game, because he doesn't deal much damage and he is also easy to kill. (About level 1-4)
- There are alot of gods, that can escape out of his ultimate.
- Some items like Aegis Amulet can sustain Hades' ultimate too.

Well and thats it; my first build. If you have any questions or maybe some tips, i would appreciate it to hear about.
