Pros / Cons

Pros

  • Base 15% life steal
  • Basics hit like a truck late game
  • Basic attacks also count as abilities
  • Not a popular ADC so people don't know what to do
  • Late game monster with a very manageable early game

Cons
  • Squishy (ADC probs)
  • Extremely mana hungry early
  • Sub par tower shred
  • Can be vulnerable every other 5 seconds if you make mistakes with your 2
  • Has a lot of problems killing people if there's a minion line around

Early game

Early game is you're weakest point. Almost ever other adc is going to be out boxing you right now. You are very squishy, very mana hungry and how no means of escaping until you hit level 5. This being said your basics will hit very very hard to both the other adc and support depending a bit on if you bought your power pot. I strongly recommend only building vampiric shroud and leaving room to buy lots of mana pots.

If they over extend on you and you have a support with constant CC like Ymir, Athena, or ***ba you can get a fairly easy kill. If you can land all the shots on your ult it should do about half of the other ADC's health early. Don't be afraid to tower jump with your ult.

It is best to match freya with a support with good clear like Ymir or ***ba. Support warrior also work very will with Freya Odin, Guan, and Bellona are your friends.

Your relic will depend on the enemy adc and support. If they are a high CC lane get beads. If not I like sprint.

Don't forget about your 3 to interrupt enemy moves like ***bas root, bellona's hammer, apollo's slide, etc.

Mid Game

Mid game is good to freya. You are still mana hungry so be careful about using mana. Your clear is online now so you can drop your 2 on the minion line and get all your mana back from vampiric shroud. When possible let your support clear for you. Minion lines are freya's worst enemy because if an enemy runs through them you have no way of hitting them. If your support can clear for you your 2 will be open for you to hit the other ADC. At this point your basics do a lot more than their basics will.

Your tower shred isn't that great and your escape is lacking so make sure if you are going to attack the tower you have the jungle warded well.

Late game

You are a late game monster. If you catch the adc mid laner or jungler out of position you can probably kill them in about 3-4 basic attacks (with steroid). You still have no escape so be careful about wandering around alone. If youre having problems late game with people building magical protections swaps out telkinis ring for demonic grip.

Team Work

You debatably the best ADC for team fights. Turn on your 2 and you can chunk the whole team when grouped together. If you can focus out one person turn your'e steroid on if you can't leave it off the splash effect is more important and it still does a lot with out the steroid.

DO NOT USE YOUR LIFT IN A TEAM FIGHT it is like a free sanctuary for the other team.

Ranked Play

Freya is a great pick in ranked. She is one of the most versatile gods in the game being great in ADC and jungle and viable in mid and solo. That makes a her (much like Neith) a great top pick.

Things to watch out for in ranked are not picking her into cupid. He counters her hard. If your team isn't cooperative and wont let you switch positions based on the other team's picks I wouldn't first pick her as ADC. If they other team picks cupid you're basically done.
