Channel-burst mage who can delete a clustered team the instant Swan Song lands
MageMid LaneDeals magic
Odette is a mid-lane burst mage whose ultimate, Swan Song, leaps into a fight, shields her, and channels a wide AoE nova that can erase an entire clustered team if it lands clean. Blue Nova's twin immobilize sets up the leap, and Lakeshore Ambience's rebounding sound wave adds chip damage to every skill she casts before it.
Difficulty
Moderate
Specialities
BurstPoke
The core combo is simple to execute, but positioning for Swan Song's leap and surviving the long 50-second cooldown between burst windows takes real map awareness.

Strengths
Swan Song's channeled AoE burst can wipe a clustered enemy team in one ultimate if it lands on target
Blue Nova immobilizes two separate targets in a row, chaining into Swan Song's leap for a guaranteed engage
Lakeshore Ambience's rebounding sound wave adds free chip damage after every skill cast, rewarding aggressive poke
Swan Song's shield and 90% slow on cast buy real survivability during the channel itself
Weaknesses
No mobility outside of Swan Song, so she's an easy target for hard CC or dives whenever the ultimate is down
Swan Song's 50-second cooldown means her single biggest damage source is unavailable for most of the fight
Extremely low HP and no defensive skill besides the ultimate's shield, dying quickly to any burst that lands first
Swan Song can be interrupted or its leap punished by hard CC the instant she commits to the animation
Skills
Max Blue Nova first for the immobilize chain and damage, level Avian Authority whenever available for the slow and wave clear, and take Swan Song at levels 4, 8 and 12.

Odette builds
Core items in buy order, with the emblem, talents and battle spell that go with them.
Standard Burst Mage
8,000g total
Default mid-lane pick for scaling into a one-rotation burst threat.
The 'Flicker combo' — blinking in right as a hook or stun lands, or blinking out the instant an enemy ultimate is cast — is the single most common high-elo outplay moment in the game.
Swap in when needed
Ice Queen Wand — Against dash-heavy divers closing in before Swan Song is up.
Winter Crown — As burst insurance since the 50-second ultimate cooldown leaves long windows without an escape.
Athena's Shield — Against an enemy burst mage threatening to delete her first.
Odette Standard Burst Mage build: Arcane Boots, then Clock of Destiny, then Lightning Truncheon, then Holy Crystal.
Early Power Spike
7,870g total
To force fights before six items, since her burst ratios are already strong with just two or three core pieces.
Unlike Purify, Sprint does nothing against stuns or roots already applied — it only prevents future slows and outruns melee threats, so it's best on heroes who aren't the primary CC target.
Swap in when needed
Ice Queen Wand — Against dash-heavy divers closing in before Swan Song is up.
Winter Crown — As burst insurance since the 50-second ultimate cooldown leaves long windows without an escape.
Queen's Wings — Against dive comps once she's the priority kill target.
Odette Early Power Spike build: Arcane Boots, then Genius Wand, then Glowing Wand, then Holy Crystal.
Land both hits of Blue Nova on the same target before leaping in with Swan Song, so the immobilize chain guarantees the channel connects
2
Poke with Avian Authority and basic attacks before a fight to build Lakeshore Ambience procs for free extra damage
3
Only commit Swan Song when the enemy team is grouped — a missed leap leaves her exposed for the rest of its 50-second cooldown
4
Hold position just outside enemy engage range until Swan Song is up, since she has no way to disengage without it
Odette — common questions
Is Odette good for beginners?
She's approachable — the core Blue Nova into Swan Song combo is simple to learn — but positioning for the leap and surviving the long cooldown between bursts takes real match awareness.
What is the best build for Odette?
Arcane Boots into Clock of Destiny, Lightning Truncheon, and Holy Crystal covers the standard scaling burst path. Genius Wand and Glowing Wand instead push an earlier power spike before six items.
Which heroes counter Odette?
Nana's Molina Smooch locks her out of casting entirely, Aurora's freeze stops Swan Song before it starts, and Barats's Detona's Welcome suppression interrupts the channel the instant it lands.
What emblem should Odette use?
Mage emblem with Inspire for cooldown reduction, Tenacity for survivability, and Lethal Ignition for extra burst on the opening combo.
