Pele flourishes and fires out a magma orb ahead of her in a line, dealing damage and granting fuel per enemy hit. Once the fiery projectile reaches maximum distance it hovers for a brief instant, solidifies, and then returns back in pieces, dealing damage to enemies on the way back. The number of shards returning is dependent on the rank of this ability.

Pele has 2 charges of this ability.

Ability Type: Line, Damage
Damage: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+60% of your Physical Power)
Return Damage: 30 (+15% of your Physical Power)

Pele fiercely erupts energy into the ground, exploding in an area around her, causing damage and Knockup to all enemies.

At ranks 3 and 5 the area expands again at a delay, dealing less damage and a smaller Knockup.

Ability Type: Circle, Knockup, Damage
Inner Damage: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+80% of your Physical Power)

4 Y
After a short warm up, Pele dashes forwards dealing massive damage and a slow to the first enemy God hit, and dealing additional damage to enemies behind in a cone.

For the next 10 seconds or 4 attacks, every time Pele hits an enemy with a basic attack, she instead deals ability damage in a cone originating from that enemy. During this time Pele's basic attacks deal 40% reduced damage.

Ability Type: Cone, Slow, Damage
Damage: 180 / 265 / 350 / 435 / 520 (+60% of your Physical Power)

Items

You should choose your items based on how you're going to play the game. She seems to be very squishy and most definitely ability based. Note: she's very weak to CC, so consider magi's and winged blade when facing CC.

I play her very burst mage style, hence why I like heartseeker with her. I don't really like hydra's as much because her AA is kind of clunky in my opinion - however it is good in the arena build because the goal of that build is to pretty much dive, kill fast, retreat.

Masamune is a good early item as well because she is very squishy and seems to be more late game damage. Masa gives you the ability to mitigate some early damage and allow you to stay out longer.

A couple items I consider staples in her builds are Soul Eater, bloodforge, and heartseeker. Those 3 really give her damage and survivability. The rest are up to you, just get some pen, another movement speed item (boots, masa, wingblade, etc.), and maybe a protection item.

Note: the reason I skipped boots in arena build is because her 3 can act as boots until you get the 20% movement speed from the first 2 items.

Skills

The way you level her skills depends entirely on how you play and build her. The skill build I listed is how I usually play her - I tend to be conservative early on and building her 3 first lets you clear camps quickly and punishes anyone who tries to go on you.

I use her ult as an escape (or kill confirm) because she is very vulnerable to CC, so I level that last. Since I use her 3 to fight, I often don't have the fuel to escape so her ult is better as an escape for me.

I have played around with leveling the 2 to rank 3 and then leveling the 3 and 1. If you combine that with heartseekers passive, you can get a really big early burst damage but your damage will fall off midgame hard and then come back late.

The other option is to level your 1 first then 3, 2 and that will give you better wave clear and poke if you are laning. However, your fight winning potential won't come online until mid to late.

At max rank her combo is amped 3, 2, 1, AA, 1 - that should kill any squishy until they nerf her.

Why does the Assault build have Deathbringer?

Wow that was actually a mistake. I fixed it - not sure if I just spaced out on that or misclicked or what. Yeah death bringer would not be a good choice. Thanks for catching that.
