Introduction

Hello, My name is Pigprob, and i'm playing alot with poseidon since he came out.
That's my first guide, so be gentle.

Pros / Cons

PROs
Can Deliver High Damage (Late Game)
Not Mana Hungry If Played Right
Kickass Ultimate
CRIPPLE!!!

CONs
Squishy, Very Squishy
Almost Zero Escapability
Low Damage In The Begging.
Certin Death In Hades, Odin, and "cage" kind of ULTIs

Items

The Thing About Posiedon is magical damage, and tons of it, if you got alot of magical power, you are kinda op.
That's why i chose my current build.

Skills

IN skills, max ulti first (as always), than tidal surge, than whirpool, and trident last.
in combat, you sould start with whirpool, to damage and catch enemys,than the KRAKEN, to damage and stun (or knockback) if the come out of it, bring them back in with tidal surge, if not, use trident and when they are getting closer attack with tidal surge.
If you are on the run, use trident to run and put whirpool beneth you, it sould slow the enemy, if you are quick enough, try to turn, knock them with surge, and go back to running.

Thank you

Thank you for reading, now go kill some enemys, with the wrath of the sea and the Kraken.

I don't see why everyone loves demonic grip so much, you dont benefit the spell pen until you've auto attacked the same target 3 times

how does that benefit kraken, whirlpool, or tidal surge?

Are you gonna follow and auto for 6+ seconds before you burst?

Spear is much better since Whirlpool ticks so fast, speaking of which I'd level whirlpool first

Having a low level whirlpool for so long means you dont get the 3 sec Pull til late and its his most damaging attack (all 6 ticks)

haha it is actually, I mean look at the 3 brothers.
all 3 of them depend on Auto attacks for added damage.
you pick it up on zues so why not on poseidon.
I mean try a practice with his build and then with my added changes because right now poseidon's 1 and 3 are too weak for such a build.
his 2 is his main dps source.
