How to play?
Pele is a character that is played aggressively because she has abilities that help her in this game mode, for example:
You can take advantage of his passive health regeneration and movement speed in the early game to be more aggressive than the enemy god and win the fight.
Since his first ability is able to pass through everything, it is very useful for dealing damage from a distance, pushing waves of Minions quickly, stealing Buff through walls and prevent a god from escaping with ranged attack.
The combination of the third and second ability does great damage to the enemy god hit, and is also useful for surprise attacks thanks to the movement speed gained as long as the fuel is full
The fourth ability is very useful as it can be used together with all the other abilities after dashing causing massive damage in a short time, also don't forget that it can save you by becoming immune to CC.
Since Smite 1 Pele is a perfect and very fun assassin to play duo to her amazing, string, and funny kit and she made it early to Smite 2
starting with her passive(Everlasting Flame)
every time Pele is under 50% health she gains increased strength and lifesteal, this effect has a cooldown.
Pele abilities:
Pyroclast: Pele sends a magma projectile dealing physical damage to all enemies she hits in a line and grants fuel per enemy hit, when the magma projectile reaches the max range fires additional shard projectiles back to her every time you level up this ability shard projectiles increase.
Eruption: Pele deals Physical Damage and Knocks Up enemies around her, at rank 3 and 5 this area gains additional explosion areas, which deal Physical Damage and a smaller Knock Up, activating this ability while your third ability (Magma Rush) is active you can dash a short distance before erupting.

Pele is a pure physical damage assassin this build is very good on her with a mix between defense and strength and a lifesteal item.
Tips for Pele:
when you play her I usually start by leveling up my 3 (Magma Rush) because it deals a ton of damage to jungle camps that's makes your clear so easy
After your 3 start leveling your 1 then 2 then ultimate and focus on maxing your 1 because it is the best ability to secure kills and it can fire it twice dealing a lot of damage
When you start your fight start it with your 3 active (Magma Rush) blink if you have it if not use your ultimate on the enemy, after that knock him up so you have time to use your 1 and keep dealing damage to enemies
Pele is a strong 1 vs 1 god so don't be scared to fight enemies even if you are 1 or 2 levels behind them ( your life steal and burst damage will help you with that fight).
For team fights you have to focus on the enemy damage dealers that will help your team to help you deal damage to enemies and win fights almost every time if your team is good enough.
Pele is a powerful assassin/bruiser with incredible movement speed and high burst damage, especially in the early/mid game. Pele benefits a lot from an aggressive playstyle in the first moments of the game, which is when she is strongest and can snowball the game easily from the jungle.
Abilities
Passive: Everlasting Flame
When Pele's health drops below 50% she receives a strength boost and life steal with a 30 second cooldown. This ability allows Pele to overcome fights that would otherwise seem lost.
1 Skill: Pyroclast
Pele shoots a magma ball that deals damage and refuels Magma Rush. Upon reaching the maximum range, the magma ball will shoot pieces of magma at Pele that will also do physical damage. The amount of pieces increases according to the level of the skill and you can also have 2 charges of this skill at the same time
2 Skill: Eruption
Pele generates an area around her that deals physical damage and lifts enemies. This ability gains additional range at levels 3 and 5, causing it to explode more times. With this ability Pele benefits from being close to enemies to generate pressure and allows combos with his 1 while they are in the air to maximize damage
3 Skill: Magma Rush
This skill has a passive called Fuel that fills up by hitting enemies with skills. When activating this ability, Pele receives an increase in movement speed and an area around her that deals physical damage to nearby enemies while consuming Fuel. Reactivating this ability improves the effect of movement speed and damage, and using Eruption in this amplified mode causes Pele to make a short dash forward. With this ability Pele becomes one of the fastest gods in the entire game capable of chasing all enemies for a long time.
4 Skill: Volcanic Rush
Pele becomes immune to crowd control and dashes forward dealing damage to the first enemy god in her path, after which Pele's next 4 basic attacks will deal damage in a cone in front of her. With this Pele can approach enemies that are very far away and oneshot them in a matter of seconds.

Pele in Smite 2 embodies the power of volcanoes precisely because of the concentration of skills that recall fire. Mythology tells of this deity linked to fire and rather violent eruptions and these are the characteristics that this deity reflects in the game.
With a dynamic attitude, she can do a lot of damage (if she plays well) and move quickly to inflict even more damage to her opponents. She can control not only fire but also wind, and this makes her ability very violent and destructive around her.
One of the skills "Flame Wave" leaves a trail of fire on the surrounding ground causing damage to all enemies that pass in that area. It is ideal for reducing the opponent's pressure and hitting them without the possibility of reply. Also on this type of attack there is "Eruption" which makes the ground explode under the enemies who thus have no possibility of defending themselves. She is a real volcano in every way.
Always recalling the volcano is the ability "Magma Rush" that makes her move quickly leaving a trail of lava where she passes. Obviously whoever passes in this trail, gets damaged.
Really very dangerous and devastating.
As for items, focus on those that maximize damage and speed.
Pele is a strong assassin with a massive lifesteal on her kit makes her a great jungler with a lot of sustain and great mobility.

Pele is an assassin with physical scaling so this build will work on her very well, its a mix of damage penetration.
This build at the first time it will look bad build, but trust me and try it, you will never die even if you are vs more than 1 enemy.
Tips for Pele
Your jungle farm is so fast, get level 3 and start your ganks, don't wait for level 5.
When it's mid game, you are pretty much able to fight any enemy god, so ganks are so important in mid game to give your team lead.
For team fights, go on the enemy back line and block them from attacking your team and kill them.
