Introduction

Hades

__________________________________________________________

Hades is one of my favorite gods, he used to be a guardian but was allocated the role mage because he's... magical and did A LOTTA DAMAGE.

I like playing him mid, but you can certainly play him in solo, as long as you're not facing Cu Chulainn.

Skills

Blight
γ€€ γ€€γ€€
γ€€
Pretty basic, this is how you get the most out of your abilities. You want to either weave autoattacks or activate this with your other abilities.
γ€€
Death From Below
γ€€ γ€€
The standard mage escape/initiator. Applies Blight.
γ€€
What some people don't know is that this is considered a leap (despite you going underground?), and is susceptible to Awilix's ultimate, so be careful of that. It also does a decent amount of damage,
so you can use it close out a kill. Pretty handyπŸ’¦
γ€€
Shroud of Darkness
γ€€ γ€€
Hade's panic button and main CC. Nothing about this that you don't already know. You can use this in place of Death from Below to blight minions/gods or to silence them in a pinch.
γ€€
Devour Souls
γ€€ γ€€
Hade's bread and butter skill, Devour Souls. It does a **** ton of damage, heals you a bunch (especially with your lifesteal items later on in the game), and the main reason you can survive in lane. This, along with mana potions means you can stay in lane for a very long time. I went for ten minutes without recalling once.
γ€€
Pillar of AgonyπŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦SUCCπŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦
γ€€ γ€€
The reason why you're playing this god in the first place. It deals incredible amounts of damage provided they stay within succing distance. It's instrumental to all the teamfights you're in. It's a cheeky way to kill gods with little to no mobility (haha Artemis). It deals ~2800 assuming no protections (it even has protection reduction!) at full build. Most importantly, if you're facing a lifestealing anubis? No problem, just slap on a Divine Ruin and you'll win a 1v1 ult battle.

Ranked Play

In-Lane Poke

γ€€
Death From Below into Devour Souls. If you're afraid of retaliation or if it's someone with a stun like Zhong Kui, you can go ahead and weave in a Shroud of Darkness.

Not a good idea. Late game, Hades still won;t be able to one shot people, and if he gets focused in his ult, he will get shredded. Not enough protections. I like the lifesteal through the damage idea, but it's not effective when the enemy team have their builds completed.

Can agree about not facing cu culian. He easily decks Hades. Also might I recommend soul gem. Really great for him IMO

Soul Gem is terrible on Hades.

I would level Death From Below sooner than Shroud of Darkness. Also Spear of Desolation can be a good utility item for the rare times that Divine Ruin isn't needed.

That's a good idea, but i usually use rod of asclepius in place of it.
