Divine Rapier early in Medusa

[SWAT V4]

Would you take the risk to get that extra GPM?

[achus93]

oh hell no.

i'd only get Rapier when i'm desperate.

I might be asking for speculations here as I doubt there is a veteran Medusa player here.

[achus93]

i thought you were just asking for opinions.

If you are scared to lose it, have a backup rapier in your fountain, if things go wrong.
You mught not agree that strategy.

Eitherway Medusa Ulti along with Mjolnir and Divine Rapier is epic if u pull off your ulti rgt.

If you only have those 2 items you would get burst down very easily. So no.

Opinion, speculations, however you call it

Medusa is a slow hero. Sometimes you need to fight Now. Rapier is the best item for that. Especially with how Tanky she is. The farming is just a nice side effect.

By the time she farms her tanky and stat items it would already be middle-late/late game. The topic is about early game.

A Medusa mid-game will often still just be a Manta +1 item, which isn't enough to hit Critical Medusa Levels yet. A Rapier at that point will usually put you into Critical Medusa Levels and win you the game.

And do you think Manta-Linkens/Manta-Midas/Manta-whatever will help you survive? On the rare chance that the enemy team is coordinated, you can say goodbye to your rapier.

i don't know man.

the whole point of Medusa is how tanky she is benefiting from all stats. if all she has is a Rapier, then she's a glass cannon, easily bursted down even with Mana Shield on.

When you go for the early divine on dusa it's not used to farm faster.
At around 25~min you should have bkb and rapier then you push immediately because your damage peaks when you first get those items. Your team should already be pushing once the rapier is on courier to make the most out of it.

manly dusa build

thats right rapier+bkb is gamebreaking build as long you get it early enough, although rapier is always significant if you are badly losing game.

["Tyrant" Kuma]

i watched the Wagamam stream where he recommend this medusa build.

he said "this is the only build where you carry your team as medusa. anything else means your team carried you"

and the build -> phase,MOM,rapier,bkb.

his point is no one able to kill you when your ult is on, and with rapier no one would be alive when your ult is off.

IMO -> good if you have team coordination
