Medusa Carry

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Medusa

• Secure ranged creep with Mystic Snake if contested.
• In order to get most of the mana back, Mystic snake needs to hit heroes and ranged creeps.
• Ask your teammates to stack for you as you can clear them early.
• From level 5, you can start clearing lane creeps quickly and farming camps nearby to accelerate your farm.
• If possible, farm two neutral camps at the same time with Split Shot and Mystic Snake.
• You don`t have to skill Stone Gaze at level 6 unless you feel like you might be in danger.
• If a neutral camp consists of multiple creeps with mana pools, Mystic Snake can regain you a lot of mana.
• Use Manta Style with Split Shot on to farm extra creepwaves that you can`t with your hero.
• You need not rush Stone Gaze usage in the fights. Make sure opponents are committed to the fight before you pop it.
• Position yourself in the center of the fight to Split Shot multiple heros. Medusa does mediocre single-target damage.
• Mana burn is a big problem for Medusa. You can itemize against it or adapt the playstyle.
• If things are going rough, consider purchasing Divine Rapier. Works well with Split Shot.
• Your mana pool also acts as your HP pool. So remain aware of your current mana and keep it high with clarities and lotuses.
• You can combine the movement speed slow from your Venomous Volley facet to make it easier to land Gorgons Grasp.
