Artemis

How to play Artemis

Artemis is a ranged hunter from the Greek pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Artemis in the Carry (duo) lane.

In your kit, Suppress the Insolent (area damage slow) slows enemies. Transgressor's Fate (set a trap) and Vengeful Assault (shoot and move faster) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Calydonian Boar (summon stunning boar), on a long cooldown (about 100s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Still Target: more damage on crowd control.

Community guides level Suppress the Insolent, Transgressor's Fate and Vengeful Assault first. Max Suppress the Insolent first, then Vengeful Assault, then Transgressor's Fate.

Your basic attacks are most of your damage, so keep attacking whenever it is safe. Stand at the edge of your range behind your front line and hit whoever is closest. Your power grows with every item, so farm safely early and avoid risky fights. In the duo lane, last hit minions for gold and let your support start fights.

Start with Sharpshooter's Arrow, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Tyrfing and Dagger of Frenzy, and you finish with The Executioner, Silverbranch Bow and Riptalon. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of the Wild, it reworks Transgressor's Fate (traps minions, heal). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Guan Yu, Kuzenbo and Ah Puch, and struggle against Odin, Bellona or Khepri. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
