This build deals decent damage and survives in the fight for a long while. It also clears camps pretty well which is nice for invades. You will be able to pump out a lot of damage and take a good bit, but you will still burst quickly.

Gameplay
You wont feel the most tanky as pele in support, and your trades aren't amazing, but you have decent camp clear and you are very mobile. In the early game I would recommend trying to play careful and deal damage through poke and favorable trades then looking to leverage that pressure into invades. You should try to keep an eye on enemy jungle timers and be at those camps every spawn. The more sucessful you are at these invades, the greater the impact you will have going into mid to late game. In late game you can burst out a lot of damage, but you will take a lot too so set up and try to blitz someone really quick.
Conclusion
Pele is a very non traditional support, and does not have a lot of tools to help her team, but can draw a lot of attention and has some good cc and kill threat with the ability to spread damage across their team. Make sure your attention is always on farm and how you can get ahead because a behind pele support does basically nothing.
