The ultra sustain cupid, actual meta, insanely hard to counter and a true DPS ADC but with no fun exploding people with 1 single skill ;-;
Replace Warrior Tabi with
Bloodforge late-game after you buy
Elixir of Speed or anything else you need.
This build is a standard build that I made focusing on more Skills but without forgetting you are an ADC.
Replace Warrior Tabi with
Ichaival late-game after you buy
Elixir of Speed. The last item (to replace boots) is situational, and it should be built according to the match. See more in the build section.
See more examples in the builds section.
Warning: watch out to not cap hard the AS limit (2.5).
As replacements for your boots after you buy Elixir of Speed, buy
Deathbringer.
If you need lifesteal, build Asi instead of ata as your 5th item.
This is your main start if your build will start with Devourer's Gauntlet.
This is your main start if your build will start with Transcendence.
Items that works pretty well on him on almost any condition. (See more in itemization section)
Obs.: A crit item must be combined with at least another crit item in the same build to make both high viable.
Items with medium-low viability on him, so consider to build them only in some occasional situations. See more in builds section.
See "Relics" chapter for more information.
You might skip level 9 point on Fields Of Love if it's on cooldown to apply it on
Heart Bomb, then at 10 you upgrade your ulti.
If it's not on cooldown, then I recommend upgrade the ulti.

On this section I'm going to help you choose what skill you should upgrade first and what are the priorities depending of your play style. You can have a: High damage leveling order, focusing on DPS and damage, a High Sustain leveling order focusing on maximize your sustain in lane, or even be Hybrid. I will explain each skill order right below click on the spoilers to understand each one. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Here I will show you some synergies that ![]() Obs.: TBH, I'm lazy to make new synergies, I'm waiting SmiteFire have this section right below (next to or near) the threats, just like MobaFire, so I can just select a god and put my thoughts no need to BBCode the section, that is the "hardest part". Sorry guys :p. Cupid synergy is measurable, generically, like this: The most stoppable CCs (By stoppable I mean some CCs that stops or at least reduce the enemy capacity of movement as roots, stuns, taunts...) the god has, the better is the synergy with ![]() |

Cupid, God of Love, a very nice and fun/funny God to play, and also a bit easy. Here I will help you by saying how you should play with him, the general gameplay. If you haven't read the Skills sections right above, I suggest you do it before starts here. I consider ![]() |

You should switch the part in parentheses to (half of your damage is provided by your skills) or something to that effect. Although it's also basically true that 2 of your 4 abilities deal damage, what you're mostly doing is focusing on your 1 to significantly support your damage output.
One thing you could add to the early game if you want to be extremely detailed is how you prefer to use your heart bomb. Front minions, back minions, use for poke, etc.
On the "attack the enemy tower" portion, you might also mention higher safety if you know where the jungle is and your ult is up. Say you've forced the enemy to back. If you're then pushing lane and hitting tower, when the enemy comes back to lane (you can easily throw your ult down across the lane behind you to slow them down...that's of course if you're not going for kills and focusing on tower and farm at the time.
In the "sustain" section, note the misspelling of sustain firstly. Then, you say "you also gain mana every time an ally heals you" so you should correct that.
In your late game objectives section, you say you don't have the highest DPS...but all the times before, you were saying you DO have the highest DPS.
After the game sections, I feel

I didn't edit this part but I rewrote it, I guess it's better to understand what I meant now.
It is already on the tips for game modes on conquest spoiler.
Ok, done!
Fixed!
Nah, though all skills are not hard to hit the insta cast of
Any other thoughts? Or it's enough detailed? XD
After Fail-Not, I think going straight into
And if you do really want that Asi after Fail, then I'd still follow Asi w/ WD before either Ata or DB unless you're facing a really tanky team. 10% pen difference isn't much to get higher crit chance and situationally higher AS (and even more once 7.10 hits and Ata gets nerfed).
Thoughts?
i have nothing to say tbh, i'd only say
I guess it would depend if you're against tanks building AA speed-debuff items.

Alright, some feedback on your "builds needing test."
Firstly, as discussed on Discord between you, me and Salad,
Firstly, consider his kit only has 2 damaging abilities,
So I think in general you have Trans builds down, right? You have the one Devo's crit build, but a Devo's Qin's build is also a good one to propose. Something like
THEN...we should also consider some non-stacking builds.
In that case, I know the earlier game is a bit on the expensive side, and we're lacking a bit of pen, perhaps, but here would be one non-stacking proposed build.
Another option would be to do the early
Don't personally like the full anti-heal build. If you're going to build that much AS, I think Qin's is needed. I would consider dropping Trans in this build too...
Anyway, thoughts?
Tbh, I REALLY didn't like
That said, I tried some "no stack" builds. I had an giant success with the new crit build you can check on conquest page. In all the cases I tested I was put behind (due bad supports, you know, "ksing" me or just watching me die.), and in this case I was 0/5/0 and ended, as you can see, top stats. So this will be my new crit build for him.
I updated the testing builds again and when I have time I'll comeback here and say how my tests ended.
Obs.: All the descriptions were updated as well.
Yeah, I don't think I like Devo's on him either, but it IS a functional direction so figured you might want to include.
One other thing...might suggest delaying your 2nd point in the ult at level 9...it adds damage, but that's it, and you might thus just max

Yeah, can work but it isn't good as much as just skip stacks and go for

I have already done it on my "skill order" section. It's written: "If your ultimate is down at level 9 then upgrade
But seriously, the build (besides all the points Bran already pointed out) sounds solid! Nice job!
I'm little busy lately with my guides but asap I'll talk about
I'm also love
3. Agreed.
5. That works. Still think Jotunn's and Heart are situational (as in really depends on your build path) but personal opinion I guess.
9. Fair enough. Situational usefulness though. You find yourself getting jumped by an
10. I'm pretty sure you're joking, but I was just suggestiong SE as an option, not that I find it highly preferable. As for the passive giving you mana, at least in my experience, mana's never an issue, even if I need to pick up my own hearts here and there. Others get Med, and that, combined with the mana gained from others picking up the hearts at other times, seems more than enough. I do love playing him in Assault.
10. Yep I am joking :v. You suddenly start to suggest SE in every post about
Either way, it also offers power, which is something Cupid would like for his
While rushing T2 and then
If you are not fight against an early game comp, then rush Trans. If you are, blessing is safer.
That's my vision at least.
For the alt build example, probably still suggest not getting
Crusher is good on Cupid. Just because it breaks the ult Mez doesen't mean it's bad. Besides it's a mez after all that breaks on first contact with damage.
And qins isn't core in duel no. It depends on the matchup. Some matches you might want Toxic blade for example instead. Also I don't really recommend Heartseeker in duel either.
And even then, with only 1 damaging ability and the ult, the passive doesn't get used all that much...though the balance of base stats are solid...which is the main reason this is a functional item. But at that point...there are other items that can also have good function.

Which is an argument to build more AA-based, i.e not Jotunn's or Heartseeker. Crusher is an AA-hybrid item with some good stats and a decent passive.
For the crit build there is a bit of a problem, you have no lifesteal in a crit build and you're building a weird crit/ability build. Rather:
In crit build, Devo is an option, as listed in situational items. I don't think
So, there's nothing wrong getting trans and crits and no lifesteal on him, since you have
Also try this instead for your "alternative non-crit build" :
Cupid been receiving some play in pro league recently, could check out the builds in the link and give them a go.
See bran, i wasn't crazy to build crusher on vupid. The pros did it.
I see what you did there ;)
Because the bicuspid valve regulates blood in the heart. And Cupid is all about hearts.

I swear didn't think about it :v. I said Cuspid because here, in brazil, people also call him as "Cuspido".
A better bet for first item might be heartseeker, since you will definitely be getting stacks easily, and it goes with your concept of getting some early bonus damage. It also gives you some penetration for early gank potential.
