Nemesis Build

Starter

Notes So Golden Blade + Golden Gooseberries feels like a little to much, so I would recommend Party Punch over it, however make your choice as you like

Notes Pretty basic Golden Blade build that can be mixed with crit items like Bladed Boomerang - Deathbringer

This build should be the same on almost every game, the only thing that changes it's the priority within the items:
Bloodforge: Better against squishies comps with a lot of potential of snowballing the jungle if you are ahead at the start of the game

Arondight Essential Nemesis item that works really nice when ganking solo/duo laners with dashes or jumps

Hydra's Lament Helps a lot on mana sustain and early fights, make sure to run it against boxing gods, like Mercury/ Bakasura

Crit Build

Notes Golden Blade can be replaced in late game ( Dominance/ Bloodforge for example)

If the game it's going really good u can start doing crits before, running Rage as 3th and Deathbringer as 4th with Arondight as 5th, like this:

Alternatives

Notes Bumba's Hammer Works pretty well with Hydra's Lament so make sure to run both on your build, the build usually goes the same as Protector Of The Jungle ones

Manikin Mace: Recently buffed with an extra 15% atk spd that now is able to compete with Protector Of The Jungle (mostly recommended on attack speed builds)

Shadowdrinker: Really good stats, that confuses the enemy team each time u get a kill, it actually works pretty well with Bloodforge passive, so make sure to build them together

Magi's Cloak: Defensive item ideal against to hard cc comps

Intro


Nemesis
"Goddess of divine retribution"




This is a strong midgame/lategame god, really difficult to stop her once she ults someone. So powerfull in the 1v1s and long trades

Remember that the builds are situational and you can buy whatever you want

I hope this build helps you with your games and have fun!

Tips

Tips for Nemesis in general gameplay

  • Try to use ur dash to escape, no need to enter the tf or ganking with it, just save it like a last resource
  • Be careful with what can cancel ur 3, use it when they wasted their cc
  • Focus those who doesnt have leaps or anti-slow on their kit so u can kill them easily (Yes, this include tanks)
  • Ur ult is one of the most powerfull ults in the game actually, use it like a bait and to kill quickly any squishie or to take down a tank that is bad positioned
  • Dont be afraid of the 1v1s even if u are on disadvantage, nem its really strong on this aspect

I agree with that and I would like to see the full build... maybe something like this:


And speaking of Jotunn's Wrath, we know that right now, it's not the best option to buy, but I'm gonna let it be on this build for now, I'll put Hydra's Lament in there too instead of having The Crusher and in any case, I will change it on the next patch depending on how it goes
