Susano

How to play Susano

Susano is a melee assassin from the Japanese pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Susano in the Jungle.

In your kit, Jet Stream (throw projectile, recast to teleport) is your way in and out of fights. Wind Siphon (pull enemies in) is your main crowd control. Storm Kata (three recast combo) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Typhoon (charge tornado, recast to fire), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Storm's Edge: attack after ability debuffs.

Community guides level Jet Stream, Storm Kata and Wind Siphon first. Max Storm Kata first, then Jet Stream, then Wind Siphon.

Your job is to find and defeat a fragile target, usually the enemy mage or hunter. Do not start fights head on: wait for someone to use their escape or step out of position, then strike. In the jungle, clear your camps quickly and help other lanes by ambushing enemies who have used their escape.

Start with Bumba's Hammer, then buy Hydra's Lament. Your core is Barbed Carver and Jotunn's Revenge, and you finish with The Crusher, Heartseeker and Avatar's Parashu. A good relic is Sundering Arc. 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 Storm Front, it reworks how Susano plays. It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Ah Puch, Osiris and Poseidon, and struggle against Eset, Ganesha or Izanami. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
