THE BEST ELDEGOSS BUILD GUIDE - POKEMON UNITE

Support Build ( +/+ )

Muscle Band ( Core )

Eldegoss is incredibly aggressive and flings crazy nature balls at enemies inflicting surprisingly high damage ( ESPECIALLY in early game ), along with inflicting heavy, crippling slows. This makes Eldegoss great at defending against stackers in the top lane and lane fighting, while setting up engages for your jungler and lane mate with oppressive slows. Muscle Band is yellow and also gives Elde a lot more damage to greatly increase mileage in this playstyle.

Buddy Barrier ( Core )

Eldegoss’ ult has some notable weaknesses that allow Buddy Barrier to be an unknowingly extremely core item. Eldegoss’ ult has a pretty long delay before it can drop down to heal allies or knock enemies away, making it harder to get value for your sustaining ult which is the main purpose of Cotton Cloud Crash. Your allies can die during this period, which forces Eldegoss to have to ult super preemptively which increases margins for error tenfold along with being MUCH less useful when used to dodge abilities. Buddy Barrier gives an instant sustain to a single ally which not only creates wiggle room for you to drop down and get value out of Cotton Cloud Crash, but also to heavily prioritize and save a carry that is the core of your team. This allows you to use Cotton Cloud Crash reactively with really great results, along with just aligning with the support playstyle. TLDR: Buddy Barrier opens up your options for Cotton Cloud Crash GREATLY.

EXP Share ( Core )

You really do not need the exp you are a support. Funnel exp into your carries put this thing on your head now.

The Life of an Eldegoss Player Vol. 1

Early Game

• pull farm into bushes with green ranged autos they are green
• immediately after waking up focus on harassing enemies with your strong auto attacks and make them cry because you are one of the most annoying early game characters
• you have a weak secure, but you can still net random bursty secures by quickly chaining autos with leafage and oddly throwing leafage early to throw enemies off ( against weaker secure enemies )
• zone of enemies with ranged autos and constantly look for vision giving your ally time to take farm
• spam healing button whenever it is off cooldown on as many people as possible for maximum green number
• get level 4 immediately

Some things to know about the cotton ball.

Your ult is actually a very coordinated-friendly secure :)

When used early in anticipation of your team needing to secure, Cotton Cloud Crash is a very fast casting secure that adds greatly to a coordinated burst. Remember that this is an option.

Your autos are illegal.

Eldegoss’ boosted auto attacks have such an insane slow and debuff that you should be conscious of applying it to particular enemies that your team is targeting together. During early game especially, playing aggressively with your slows makes huge plays.

The Friendly Fuzz Distributor ( Pollen Puff + Cotton Guard / Pollen Puff + Cotton Spore )

When playing either of these movesets, your job is to keep the whole team healthy and prevent damage directed towards your allies. You keep allies safely above kill thresholds with wide and long range coverage providing a very safe neutral game.

Nuances of Pollen Puff

Especially before Level 11, Pollen Puff has a unique property that leaves room for some optimization. When it is placed on the ground, it detonates a second faster creating a faster heal.

When struggling to attach your Pollen Puff to weird allies that keep moving around way too much, you can also opt to attach it to yourself and walk up to allies to guarantee the healing.

Cotton Guard

When picking Cotton Guard, you excel at preventing damage with super long range sustain to keep yourself safe as well. The reasons to pick this move over Cotton Spore are to best support brawler cores such as Urshifu, Blaziken, Garchomp, etc. with just more raw sustain at a very long range which proves to be consistent and allows you to kite, staying safe and provide value even when the fight is dangerous. Cotton Guard is technically never the wrong answer.

Cotton Guard’s value increases greatly along with Pollen Puff’s damage reduction, so attaching a Pollen Puff on an ally or yourself and then Cotton Guarding increases the chances of the healing having value, increases the raw eHP from Cotton Guard, and provides the most optimal single target sustain.

Cotton Spore

When picking Cotton Spore, you excel at protecting the backline from diving threats with your disrupting crowd control and damage. Pick Cotton Spore over Cotton Guard when heavy dive threats threaten your backline.
