Notes
This build should be the same on almost every game, the only thing that changes it's the priority within the items:

Atalanta's Bow This item provides a lot of stats on the early game making it really strong against any comp and it can be combined with Brawler's Beat Stick for the extra flat pen

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

Last item it's flex ( Heartseeker it's another good option)

Nemesis's Skill Order Notes In my opinion, its better to max Divine Judgement at level 13-14 and this is only because it adds extra movement speed into pairs 10/10/15/15/20% and for me this should be 10/12.5/15/17.5/20%, but idk just give prior on Slice and Dice and Retribution on early/mid game and then max ult at 13/14/17/20

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

Brawler's Beat Stick: Pretty strong early game item, with 45 power and +15 flat pen, recommended against self healing gods like Pele

Golden Blade: Right now it's not really necessary to buy if you have Golden Gooseberries, but it's really helpful if your goal it's to maximize the farm and snowball the game in those terms

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


Build


Nem usually benefits more from AS and MS (and flat pen obviously) because of her passive Scales of Fate and her ult Divine Judgement, it's because of this that items like Arondight/ Golden Blade and recently Atalanta's Bow are perfect for the early/mid game phases with this god, granting all what you need in order to stack your passive faster and make full usage of your ult in a short time

Cdr it's also important, but on this meta an item like Jotunn's Wrath which is really good with nem doesn't get purchased so often and instead is Atalanta's Bow who take the place giving better stats and passive. Also in this case that 20% cdr it's replaced with the blue tiki + Potion of Power

Defensive item's like Magi's Cloak provides cc immunity that synergies with nem's 3 Retribution, this is also essential against certain jg god's like Kali/Merc in order to 1v1 them properly

Hydra's Lament it's another controversial option at least for a few people, on this case it's important to know how to cancel basics in order to take full advantage from it's passive and once done it's clearly noticeable what's this item capable of


Abilities


Passive - Scales of Fate It's really important when trading on any stage of the game to stack your passive before using any other ability on someone, keep that in mind when you're about to burst someone (Don't spread your basics like nothing, focus on one target at a time)

1st Ability - Swift Vengeance This dash it's one of your biggest weapons on the early game if used correctly, canceling basics within dashes can make the difference within a kill or not. I would personally recommend to keep it as a last resource when fighting and use it as an scape in most of the times

2nd Ability - Slice and Dice Not much to say about this ability, just make sure to land on the center properly and remember that it would be easier to hit if you keep it at max range

3rd Ability - Retribution The most powerful 1v1 non-ultimate ability on the game, be sure to use it when it cant be canceled and to reflect the maximum amount of damage. It's perfect for baiting certain abilities when you're low on HP and diving into towers

Ultimate - Divine Judgement Just use it on those who cant really scape from you being mostly hunters/mages and with tanks that are bad positioned. On ganks, wait for your target to waste any escape or get overextended so it would be easier to chase with your full kit... (It can be purified with beads and cc immune ults like Hachiman/ Fenrir)

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
