Pandamonium

Pandamonium is a ganker carry hero he uses his spells to slow and disable the hero and the spell Flurry to do burst damage quickly killing units. He is a vary fun hero to play and this guide was written during the time he was in the beta beta some things may no be 100% up to date with the live version.

Flurry: +15/30/45/60% base damage. Deals one attack to all units in front of you pushing them back 100 units. This spell has 1/2/3/4 charges each use of this spell uses up one charge.

Good Skill Build
You want Cannon Ball to give you a good nuke and makes you a deadly lane mate if the other person also has a stun to set up your stun. Flick is used for the flick Cannon Ball combo but you only need 1 point in it to get the combo off and you don’t need more points until you want the -armor later in the game.

How To Play
I am going to mention 3 basic combo moves in this section of the guide the Flick combo, The Take Down combo, and the Flurry combo. The flick combo consists of using flick on some one then using body slam on the are of ground behind you where they will land so its a guaranteed stun no dogging possible its important to cast the stun right after flick before the other person hits the ground. The second combo The Take Down consists of using the Flick combo fallowed by auto attacks while they are stunned then flurry when they are not stun then Face Smash where flurry is on cool down and after the Face Smash using flurry again most heroes cannot survive this attack unless a team mate disables you. The Flurry combo is a variation on The Take Down you start of with using all of your flurries then go into a Flick combo then use Face Smash then you should have a couple more flurries to use after then the Take Down combo. Take Down gives the player less chance to react an is harder to counter where flurry does more damage but is not as much as a lock down as the Take Down.

Early Game
During early game you want to keep the creep wave near your tower so if you ever get the chance to flick some one into your tower you can take it. As long as you can keep the creep wave just out of range of your tower you can prevent any melee on the other team from farming with flick. Players will most likely underestimate you allowing for a Flick combo kill with a bit of help from your partner it should be a easy kill. Other then always looking for a good time to use your Flick combo for a kill try and get a lot of last hits so you have the gold you need to carry later on.

Mid Game
Mid game you should have all the spells you need to pull of a Take Down combo so if you see some one alone gank them do your Take Down and get your free kill. You should focus on ganking the other team at this stage of the game as well as farming up the items you need to carry. You can use flurry on ancient spawns to take them out easily as well as on creep wave to quickly kill them all if aimed right. You should have insanitarius at this stage of the game just toggle it on and kill your target it makes you deadly effective and is a core item.

Late Game
Hopefully the game is going in your favor and you have Insanitarius and Behemoths heart so you can perma toggle Insanitarius on you should be doing strong damage to the other team with flurry and carry your team. You can tank pretty well and murder their heroes like they are made of nothing. Keep using your different combos where you see fit and push down the towers.

Tips and Tricks

1. Use flick to get enemues into your tower then use cannon ball to stun them in place.
2. Flick is great to juke the person chasing you flick them in one direction then go the other way.
3. Flicking some one behind you then using flurry on them to push them back even further is a great way to save an ally from a chaser or keep some one around for your ally to get there.
4. Use your ult for the hold when other allies are around to beat on them or in your combos for a bit of damage and to get a few flurries of cool down.
5. A perfect combo is flick and while they are in the area use body slam behind you so you can’t miss when the stun is over use your 4 flurries then use face smash on them fallowed by 2 flurries after the ult. This should kill any one in a one vs one situation.
6. Use flick to get some on of high ground for example if you are on a cliff being chased stand with your back to the cliff and fling them onto the lower ground should make it easy to get away after that.
7. You can use flurry like a disjoint to dodge spells that are flying towards you. Just tap flurry once and the spell will miss you just like if you blink before it hits you it misses.
