Poseidon God Guide and Review

God Of the Ocean 

Overview:
The first God that I’m going to review is Poseidon.Poseidon can do huge damage and be a huge help in team fights. He is usually played in the mid lane.He is a very easy god to use with his 2 stacking his passive, his passive increasing the damage of his 1 and 3 and his 3 and 4 able to be used in a fatal combo.

Poseidon's Passive for every successful basic, your movement speed and ability damage increases. Using an ability decreases the meter
Poseidon's 1 A line attack that does damage and is a knockback
Poseidon's 2 Buff that makes his basic send out 3 attacks, and grants increased movement speed
Poseidon's 3 AOE attack that does damage,pulls enemies to the center, and cripples
Poseidon's 4 AOE attack that does damage,slows, does bonus damage in the center,knocks them up and stuns them.



Abilities:
1.Changing Tide (Passive)
Poseidon's passive is called Changing Tides and stacks with each successful basic attack and increases his movement speed and adds additional damage to his abilities. Using his abilities decreases Changing Tide.

• Basic Attacks increase his tide by 10% per hit
• 10% movement speed buff and ability damage buff at max tide 

2.Tidal Surge
Poseidon’s first ability is called Tidal Surge where he summons a wave that pushes enemies back in a straight line while dealing damage to them. This is good for when an enemy is getting to close and you want them to get back a little and it can be used as a secondary wave clear

• Ability: Line 
• Cooldown = 10s 
• Tidal meter = -35% 
• Cost = 70/80/90/100/110 
• Damage = 100/140/180/220/260 + 70% of your magical power 

3.Trident

Poseidon's second ability is Trident and is a buff that gives him additional movement speed and each of his basic attacks has 2 more water shots per attack that move a 3 pronged motion. This last for 6 seconds. This is good for getting your tidal meter before or at the beginning of a team fight or if you need to get somewhere faster or get out of a bad situation the speed buff can be a huge help. 

• Ability = Buff 
• Cooldown = 20/18/16/14/12s 
• Cost: 65/70/75/80/85 
• Movement Speed = 5/10/15/20/25% 
• Damage per hit = 30/40/50/60/70 
• Duration = 6 s 

4.Whirlpool
Poseidon’s third ability is Whirlpool and is an AOE attack that cripples anyone in it (prevents movement abilities like dashes or leaps), it pulls enemies to the center, and deals damage every .5s for 3s for a total of 6 ticks of damage.This also reduces his tide meter by 25%. This ability works really well at clearing waves of minions and can be combined with your ult for a huge amount of damage to multiple enemies in a team fight or to secure a kill.

• Ability = Area of Effect Ground Target 
• Cooldown = 15/14/13/12/11s 
• Tidal Meter = -25% 
• Cost = 70/80/90/100/110 
• Damage = 15/25/35/45/55 + 15% of your magical power 
• Radius = 20 

4.Release the Kraken

Poseidon forth ability and his ultimate, is Release the Kraken that does a lot of damage, slows enemies within its radius. And if an enemy is in the center where the kraken spawns, they take additional damage and are thrown into the air and stunned. This is a fatal ability to use in a team fight to get a lot of damage or to secure and can combined with your 3 right before it to get even more A.O.E damage.

• Ability = Area of Effect Ground Target 
• Cooldown = 90s 
• Tidal Meter =- 50 % 
• Cost = 100/110/120/130/140 
• Damage = 170/195/220/245/270 +30% of your magical power. 
• Bonus Damage in the Center = 180/220/260/300/340 + 60% of your magical power. 
• Slow = 30% 
• Stun in the Center = 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2s 

How I Build Poseidon:

Basic Build:

   When I play Poseidon I go for a power build and usually start off with Vampiric Shroud and a piece of Warlock’s Sash and health and mana potions because the give early sustain along with some power along with extra health, mana and a little MP5. From there I go into Shoes of the Magi for more power and mana along with some penetration and movement speed. Then I go into Chronos Pendant for my 4th item so I can get major cooldowns, more power and MP5 so I can cast a lot more and do more damage. Then I go into Bancroft Talon to get some more sustain with its lifesteal and more power. My 6th items I go into either Obsidian Shard for power and pen or a defensive item in depending on the situation.

    After I finish my this I usually will sell off Vampiric Shroud and build toward Rod of Tahuti for a even more damage to end the game. For active I usually get Beads and a second item depending on the situation.


Summary:  
 I love playing as Poseidon, and think he is a very good mage with the ability to do a lot of damage and change the Tide in team fight and help his team. If you're looking for a fun mage to play that is can do a lot of damage check out Poseidon the God of the Oceans.
