You could also choose to level your 3 for survivability over your 2, but the damage loss doesn't feel worth it in my opinion

Hercules suffers from long cooldowns, and low damage in the very early game. As such your ganks will be a little weak until you get your ult and access to apotheosis form. Crusher is also a really big spike for hercules, as it gives him strong item damage and value. Focus on your ability to displace gods and gank with teammates in the early game. In the mid game you can start to really bully. Your 3 makes you a bit tankier than your opponents typically and your damage and displacement often leads to a kill. Look to pull someone and push them into your team, or flank behind them and push them away from safety, then follow with a pull back in when they try to escape. The late game plays out a lot like the mid game, but you will die a bit quicker. At full build you will likely be able to 1v1 most people on the map because of your cc and damage output. You can also start fights with your ult for the knock up to get a couple steps closer for the pull combo

Herc is so fun and so rewarding if you hit your stuff. Go out and slay
