Cupid: ADC or supp?

[Koromon]

Hey guys, how are you all doing?

I played some matches with Cupid today (all of them were Arena co-op) and decided to ask a question before trying him on the conquest mode:

1 - I'm supposed to use him as an ADC? He didn't seem very damage-minded to me, does that mean he's better as a support?

Thank you all and have a good time~

He is an ADC. Supports tend to be tanky (though this isn't absolutely necessary, just a lot more common).

If you build him the same way you would another Hunter, he will do a fair amount of damage. So a little attack speed, some penetration, some damage (maybe some crit if you go for crit builds).

You can play him in a supporting role, but in Conquest he is almost certainly an ADC. You might play him in solo lane, and be more ability based in your build if you have an ADC going attack speed.

He's not a support, somewhat off topic but if you're going to play vs others or take the game half seriously you should probably avoid playing coop it makes people bad at the game not good

he is the same as neith or ullr in the dmg they are ability based hunters
meaning you do most of your dmg with heart bombs and his ult

stop playing co-op as soon as possible if you want to learn this stuff. All hunters are ADC. Some are ability-based, which means you do damage with your abilities more than your basic attacks, some are auto attack based, which is the opposite. Depending on which they are, they are built differently. Cupid is sort of a hybrid. Most of his damage comes from his one, heart bomb. But with an ability based build (Lot's of pen and physical power) your basic attacks will be doing like 350 a hit against other hunters. Cupid's heals are just to keep him in lane longer.
