Gameplay
A lot of cupid support is making sure your passive is stacked up. You will pull a lot of aggro because people will assume youre an easy kill. Use this to your advantage. Your 1 has a good slow that winds into a very telegraphed stun for easy team follow up damage. Your 2 can be thrown for healing and buffing allies or to try and poke depending on whats needed. The lockdown cupid can put out with his 1 and ult is pretty significant. Look for aggressive plays with the 1 or ult and chip away at gods with your autos from range then sustain up your poke if needed.
Conclusion
Cupid is a weird little dude in the support role. He is definitely not the strongest, but he can be a lot of fun with 2 different heals, 2 slows, 2 stuns, and a couple stims. Give it a shot and flutter your way to victory
