Persephone Guide

Persephone dominates in the mid lane where she can clear waves and gain pressure. Focus on clearing with Bone Rush and Death Gaze then harassing opponents with basics and Grasping Vines. Save Harvest for kills or escaping ganks. Play aggressively to overwhelm enemies, gaining an advantage through farm and poke damage.

In team fights, Persephone controls space and provides area denial. Look for chances to trap multiple enemies in her ultimate, Underworld Odyssey. This allows your team to follow up for kills while opponents are occupied escaping. Persephone excels defending objectives and structures. Place lots of plants around key points to discourage enemies from approaching.

Persephone’s abilities synergize to control areas. Grasping Vines engages enemies, secures kills, and peels for allies. Bone Rush clears waves while damaging opponents. Death Gaze deals damage and slows enemies, allowing allies to follow up. Underworld Odyssey traps enemies in an alternate dimension. A typical fight starts with Death Gaze, placing Bone Rush and Vines as enemies approach. Bait opponents into your ultimate and drop everything as they attempt escaping. Harvest provides extra damage but save for executing weak enemies or objectives.

Persephone pairs well with teammates who can capitalize on trapped enemies such as Poseidon, Ah Puch or Vulcan. Tanks with crowd control like Xing Tian or Khumbakarna also synergize to trap enemies in her space control and damage. Avoid picking into leapers, bans without mobility or comps that outrange her.
