This build is a very strong one on Medusa after testing a lot of builds, you can 1 shot any god in the game and kill tanks very fast.

• For lane phase, don't be afraid of fighting the enemy adc, you have a strong kit and you can win most of your team fights.

• For team fight focus on dealing damage to enemy damage dealers, you can melt them, and after this turn your focus on the enemy tanks.

MEDUSA

It is impressive how aggressive the medusa style is, a mostly mid and long range god with some dash attacks, she isn't the god with the lowest HP but is always good to put some protection on your build, at least this has worked for me.

Thanks to the medusa passive, sidewinder, she will only have penalty of movements backpedalling and only by half, so she is a reliable god for jungle as well not only carry, that is useful to keep distance to the enemy.

Viper shot, the first active skill, will put poison i your next 4 basic attacks while gaining attack speed. Could look no so good this one, for me it isn't but this extra buff could be decisive against other god in some moments and it will help a lot farming at the begging of the match against the minions

Talking about minions , the second skill, the Acid Spray, will be very but very useful against a line of them, spitting poison against them and after hit this attack will be spread behind of them, killing the rest of the minions behind of them. And I don't need to say how that would be great against a a group of gods that approach all together.

The Lacerate could be the turn key in some combats, the dashing characteristic of this skill could be use strategically and since you passive helps you to movement it won't be hard to you flee away from the gods that you have attacked, and could be used in combo with other gods that have stuns and taunt effects in their skill, the last enemy hit by the Lacerate will receive the rooting effect.

Her ultimate is the Petrify, and does exactly that, it will stun and slow the enemies, the ones looking at you will be stunned and the others slowed, so even the Medusa in the carry lane having more advantage with that skill, the ultimate will be useful while in the Jungle position, the gank will have you effect. Every enemy affect by it will take damage as well.

So to succeed with Medusa is important to have at least a good duo with effects that will help you to combo, and for the build I recommend focus in attack increasing STR points and some time a little of defence is useful and you can adapts depending on the enemy team.

Medusa The Gorgon

Medusa is a powerful carry/Midliner, with abilities that allow her to perform sneak attacks, good in 1 vs 1 and helping in team fights

Abilities

Passive: You suffer no movement penalty when strafing and half the movement penalty when backpedaling

1. First ability (Viper shot): Medusa gains a good attack speed increase on her next 4 basics, plus the next basics will have charged poison which causes physical damage each 0.5 sec for 1.5 sec

   Medusa can gain up to 60% attack speed and for each successful hit on an enemy the ability's cooldown is reduced by 0.5 sec.

2. Second ability (Acid Spray): Medusa spits acid in a straight line in front of her, dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit, then the acid spreads out in a cone Dealing physical damage to enemies in that area.

   Enemies hit by this ability will have their Healing Reduction by 40% for 5 sec and acid spray will explode on statues Medusa has created

3. Third ability (Lacerate): Medusa dashes in a straight line dealing physical damage to normal enemies in her path, the first enemy God hit by this ability will cause Medusa to stop before damaging and rooting the god hit.

   If Medusa cast this ability against the statues she will destroy them instantly

   This ability does not hit through map walls and player made walls that block abilities.

   Enemies killed by the effects of this ability will be turned into stone statues with an indefinite duration but can be destroyed with four basic attacks or with the second ability lacerate. When a statue is destroyed, Lacerate cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds, Medusa temporarily gains Strength and Intelligence buff of 10%, and permanently gains Stacks of 5 of Strength and Intelligence

Build

Medusa can be used as a carry or midliner, below I will show a build for both cases.

Optional items

These are optional items which you can add to the previous build to change them depending on the type of game you are playing.

How to play?

Looking at Medusa's abilities you can see that the game mode is somewhat aggressive but at the same time cautious with surprise attacks, some tips I can give are:

• Thanks to the abilities that generate high attack speed and healing reduction, Medusa can choose to create builds that emphasize more physical damage and Critical Damage than other ADCs or carrys

• The second ability is not only useful for the healing reduction, it is also a great way to push the waves of Minions and deal damage to enemy gods in the lane at the same time, making Medusa able to be used more aggressively in the early game

• The third skill can be used as an escape route for a surprise attack and save your life or also to prevent an enemy God with low health from escaping by rooting him.

• Knowing how to take advantage of the fourth ability helps a lot to gain damage throughout the game by killing enemy gods with this ability and gaining stacks of strength and intelligence during the game, In addition, it can also be used to escape from enemy gods or save allied gods thanks to the stun of the ability.
