SMITE Pele Secret Nerf & Changes! How to Build, Level & Play Her Now

[@GandalfTheSilver]

I'm not going to say I'm sad about her getting a nerf, but I'd rather turd tier gods get buffs instead.

[@PulseEditor]

GandalfTheSilver COUGH COUGH WU KONG sorry hes bad compared to other warriors he was fav until i realized he sucks lacks damage in the late game

[@Korbin1701]

Pulse Editor true. Only good warriors you can play are Achilles Bellona and cu chulain which is so boring

[@RayPoreon]

Judging by his profile pic I'd say he wants buffs to some of the bad mages, like Guan Unicorn.

[@acevalentine791]

Turd tier 😂😂😂

[@twopiecehoxton]

I agree. Everybody cries about shit being OP and rightly so honestly, but I think buffing other gods rather than risk over nerfing will allow for more counter play. But I'm not a pro or anything so I could be dead wrong

[@sinamatik2205]

I'm a jungle Pele main and even will play solo occasionally but this breakdown was awesome DukeSloth. I've tried many different builds, mainly dependent on opponent comp and my own team but I agree with the end comment of ultimately it's up to you if you want to go for more survival in teamfights or damage output. My most used/effective build is: Warrior Tabi CrusherSoul EaterVoid Shield Runic Shield (Or Ancile for CDR, getting CC'd often)Brawler (If Pen or Anti-Heal isn't needed over protections then I replace w/ Masa or Magi's for CC heavy teams)

[@h7oda793]

That's still huge buff (half basic attacks on ult is bigger than the little nerfs she got on other abilities)

[@kylin2040]

It used to to be 100% basic attack damage + ult damage so its actually a huge nerf on her ult aswell.

[@coldhotshot]

I would just like to mention the Pele build I use. Mast, another KZbinr who played Pele solo used this build in Solo. Warriors, soul eater, void shield, ancile, shifters shield and Titans. I think the build is really good, even though he used it in the solo lane. It provides enough protections to mitigate the damage while you sustain it back with all the power and lifesteal in the build.

[@ValkynShade]

Strange, the 1 CD was always 14 seconds, even in your first guide. That's really strange.

[@Ryojiroh]

Mandela effect

[@DuelAcademy]

pele can proc hydra's 4 times in her comb with the last 1 getting the full damage boost. combo goes 3, 4, aa, 2, aa, 1, aa, 1 aa(full hydra's proc). once you get good with her this combo is easy to complete if you land the ult that 40% slow means there getting hit with the full combo. i don't know if that info changes your numbers the 1 proc hydra's each time.

[@sangheilicommander1056]

I just had a game I went 20/1 it was an arena match if it matters but my build was attackers blessing, reinforced greaves, soul reaver then transcendence, ASI, spirit robe , then sold attackers blessing for blood forge. I did great damage but this gave me max cc reduction great boxing potential with the live steal and protections. the only issue was lacking some pen it was only 10

[@MakeGamesGreatAgain]

I swear instead of nerfing pele they need to nerf BARON still. That God is still super strong.

[@Drawfill]

I really like this build on her : Warriors, Jotuun, (Brawlers or Crusher, depending on matchup), Soul Eater, Magi, Mantle. It makes her very potent in teamfights situations. I always at least build 2 protection items on pele, it just makes sense with her sustain. Maxing her 1 first is definitivly the way to go, especially if you start with blink. She's fun to me because she's one of the few assassins that uses protection really well.

[@stitchowi]

jean-sébastien dubé a lot of em do doe

[@Drawfill]

Most of em you only build 1 defense item doe.

[@911meltdown2]

That's the exact build I've been using as well

[@furcifer1266]

4:19 I can tell you, i've never used her ult as an escape. I'm mastery IV Pele, and i've NEVER used it as an escape lmao

[@DopeXSociety]

Tomas _ 1217 I’m diamond pele I do it all day long

[@DopeXSociety]

If you don’t ult out of danger sometimes when you’re being cc and ganked you aren’t utilizing her fully. Every pele ult saves occasionally. It’s a guaranteed escape nearly my guy

[@shinobiforhonor9762]

Leveling the 1 then 2 was always the way to go. Burst damage and a big ass knock up> a dot that runs out of gas suddenly.

[@barbie7418]

Is 681 damage build for her still good?

[@ismaelacevedo4573]

Her ultmate can crit now no one seems to mention that so i like useing trans,warrior boots,crusher, malice so your ult can do more damage and deathbringer so the 50% basic you lose wont even matter then last i get hydras for extra for the first hit after my 1 and my ult i play pele juggle lol

1:30 Baron in a nut shell.

[@thicvalk305]

baron is the best man

[@incognito326]

Anyone else think Baron still needs a nerf? I think they should nerf his Ult range, you cant beads out of it without any type of dash or jump.

[@moonjune29]

Yes, you can. Don't beads early, wait for the pull to become stronger and then beads. When the hysteria on you is low, Life of the Party pulls you slowly, in this stage just keep walking away to maintain a good distance, try to do some damage if possible, and then the pull becomes stronger. Watch closely and when you're about to hit the coffin, beads. You'll have enough cleanse time to stay away and the ult ends. This doesn't work very well during teamfights tho, people will not standby and watch you outplay their Baron's ult, so, be aware of that. Also, Aegis is a better pick to counter Baron's ult, often times people use It to gain some time for their cooldowns, if you have Aegis, you can run into the coffin, end his ult and punish his ass. Worth notice that positioning is key when fighting Baron more than others, his ability to stay alive and chip you away is insane. PS: If you get caught on Life of the Party with high hysteria on you and no Aegis, you deserve to die, just accept it and move on.

[@christianowen999]

His range is fine zeus is the one that really needs a nerf like he can one shot you with that stupid electric thing am even when you leave it still damages you he can single handedly almost wipe out a whole team in one shot

[@incognito326]

@@christianowen999 I know, I have a Mastery 10 Zeus 🤣 I single handedly carried my team to victory in joust countless times lol. But Baron has more impact on a team fight.

[@christianowen999]

@@incognito326 not really with baron the damage comes from you trying to pull away from if you fly into it that will shut his ult down quickly before it does damage to you that's his weakness done it so many times an there's so man gods that can avoid his attack to like sol for instance

[@RomanStan]

My 3 builds: 1. Warrior tabi, Joutans, Crusher, ancile, void shield, and magi’s 2. Warrior Tabi, Crusher, Gladiator’s (sell for mantel of discord) Void, Ancile, Magi cloak. 3 Warriors, CRUSHER, Joutants, Heartseeker, Transendence, and Titans bane

[@SinisterWolfe]

Probably because i am a scrub casual (dont like how the stress of ranked effects me) but i prefer pele in mid..

[@brianwlkr79]

I always build Pele with at least 2 defense items. I really like bruiser assassins.

[@awduhbeecheswuvmeh5380]

Brian Walker that’s all I play in solo!

[@Neilo1994]

Brian Walker same she stomps with defense items

[@rjay5911]

I KNEW SHE FELT WEIRD! I saw the early patch notes and when it got released, she felt very off.

[@tsohgallik]

3,1,3,2,4,1,3,1,3,4 Just level the movement ability and the fireballs first and the AoE erupt is good for tossing enemy up for as a stun...

[@kopykat9310]

Anybody else miss the old outro music

[@xPlatinumGhost]

No.

[@DT-pz1wi]

Who else gets annoyed when your friend puts there mic close to their mouth and yells PPPPEEEEELLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!

[@galaxyway2109]

What the hell.

[@tirnoschidragos3415]

She's going to be like a second baka. Farm, farm , gank when u have your ultimate available and wait for mid game.

[@blainefiasco8225]

I don’t really get it but all I heard is more dmg!

[@h7oda793]

Yes she got huge buff with minor nerf.

[@colinbarr2218]

omg that osiris took no damage

[@trefields9059]

She feels mostly the same, early ganks with her 2 are toned down. Her ult feels more consistent.

[@jtemple1617]

I absolutely love pele but i think shes too strong rn. I was expecting her ult changed. Ill love her even when her ult is changed. I prefer full leveling her 2 for its burst tho i like leveling her 3 over her 1 myself it just ticks so hard. I honestely was using her 1 for hydras proc. So if im removing it ill level her 1 over her 3 then.

[@rshear618]

Wt, trans, crusher, soul eater, jotuns, blood forged. Straight melts people

[@theprodigy1779]

I’m broke so I still don’t have Pele bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@galaxyway2109]

Now you can rent her

[@xPlatinumGhost]

Buy the god pack it's on sale bro

[@aaronsierra6306]

Honestly if your not crunching numbers I feel like you have no idea what your doing dukesloth

Make a video about Cu Chulainn!

Lol that giant finger.

Why the fuk is neith focusing you all game even with full health xD

[@MIVChannel233]

Pele is still broken af change my mind

[@Goose628]

You might be bad and dont know how to counterplay her..

[@trefields9059]

Build antiheal. You’re welcome

[@MIVChannel233]

@@Goose628 im d1 idk about you, literally the dumbest answer i was expecting came in first lol, it goes without saying im talking about pele being played at her best

[@MIVChannel233]

@@trefields9059 true , but that doesnt aply equally on every role , say perhaps a midlaner , im not rushing anti heal 3rd item unless my mid match so requieres it getting more power or starting pen is way more valuable than rushing antiheal, it is not worth at all to build antiheal only for pele , + her dmg is still high and rly ez to hit , not to mention her movility over any god(exept the other jungler) without boots at early game

[@trefields9059]

Mateo Ilic early game is just how it is, (not sure what roles you usually play) but just bait her 2. It’s by far the easiest way to destroy a pele. Having someone with heavy cc is also a plus: zhong, geb (for shield and counter her knockup), neith, etc. many reasons to have anti heal, almost all the best gods have healing so picking it up later on isn’t an issue (not implying to but it early on).
