- Great set of very strong abilities
- Good for ganking
- Has a great stun on her ultimate

- Her eyes... Probably not the best thing you can see

Gameplay

So Medusa is very strong and good she is good if you want to get a lot of kills.

Medusa is very good in the start of the match and later but if you are fighting enemy with good CC (Crowd Control) like Athena or Nemesis, she can be really hard to play. Medusa is squishy so most likely she will die after they used CC. But you can always gank from jungle and if you do it good and fast enough with help of your abilities they will have no chance of doing so. I will not talk about every gamemode for itself because it is almost same in every. Medusa is adc so good for ganking, doesn't matter is it conquest or joust. What you have to take care about is other hunters and assasins. Take Bastet for example. She can get you really angry because she jumps all over and can be very hard to kill. However if you put your DoT, Viper Shot, she will lose health while attacking. Best thing for you is to try Petrify on gods like her and then do damage as much as you can. After that they will die or at least be forced to flee. It is better than get you killed. Medusa is very good against mages and most of the warriors and other melee. When some melee god come close you can alway use your Lacerate to make a distance and continue attacking him. Mages have slow attack speed and slow movement speed so it gives you time to dodge their attacks because of your passive and give them some big damage.
