Guide
I've been playing a lot with Maeve, practically since I met Paladins. And I must admit that this deck has favored me, both in casual and ranked matches (Personally I do not play so much competitive, but what I've played has helped me a lot)
- Game mode
I usually play with this champion quite aggressively, I always try to get a kill through the following combo:
Daggers x2
Pounce x1
Nine lives x1
Pounce x1Depending on the life of the victim, this combo is quite functional in Supports champions with a low amount of life. However, when the opponent is a tank, he only added extra damage to the combo, leaving it as follows:
Daggers x2
Pounce x1
Nine lives x1
Pounce x1
Daggers x1/x2 (The same Combo with Daggers at end)This is usually effective when the tank carries a shield, champions like Khan or Fernando.
I always put in priority to attack the opponents of the following roles: Support, Flank, Damage and then Tank. (It depends on how the match goes, but I always go for the support)
As for the skills of the character, I always use the Q (Nine Lives) exclusively to reduce to 0 the cooldowns of Prowl and Pounce (It depends, especially when I have no life or I'm attacking) and to heal me. Although in the Deck itself, Nine Lives do not cure too much. Therefore always active Prowl and then Nine Lives. And finally, the Ultimate (Midnight) use only to counter other Ultimates (See, like Drogoz, Viktor or Kinessa) or simply to attack, obviously.
In case you are in a 1vs1 against another Maeve, always expect that I activate Nine Lives before you. This gives you an even bigger chance to not regenerate, and it always brings Cauterize with you.
- Articles
The elements that are used in the game are according to the composition of the enemy team, but this combination is what I use almost always:
- Kill to cure at level 3:
I do not think it's necessary to explain it, it's one of the items that almost all the flanks carry in the game. But it should be mentioned that articles like Life Rip are effective, however, I think that this article is better in Maeve and if you play in an aggressive way.
- Chronos at level 3:
As the deck does not carry a reduction of cooldowns of certain abilities (Especially Nine Lives and Pounce), it is very important that you buy Chronos especially at level 3 level.
- Blast Shields or Haven / Cauterize or Wrecker at level 3.
I do not want to make such an extensive guide, I just wanted to explain how I usually use the deck and the game mode including the items. Previously I used legendary ones like Cat Burglar or Artful Dodger. But nevertheless, it is effective in 1v1 or 1v2. I hope it will help you. I have more decks of the same champion, but this is the one I use all the times.
