Intro
Cupid in current 7.7 patch is probably the best physical adc in the game other than heimdallr. His one turns into a stun through is passive which allows you to destroy people while they stand there helplessly, he has a good escape, and he has very good sustain mana and health wise. The ult for cupid is massive and can shut down whole teams advancing or you can engage and can potentially stun a entire team. Cupid is super easy to play and i recommend people who see this guide to start playing him asap.
About the builds starting with main build against physical adc
With cupid you generally want to go into 2 builds depending on what you're going against in the duo lane. If you are against a physical adc then stick with the main build or the spicy fun build, if you're going against a magical adc (Example Freya, Olorun ,and Chronos) go with the build for magical adc opponents. Starting with the main build against physical adc's there is really nothing to change here you are building the best life-steal item first i usually like trying to back from carry lane with 2000g do finish Devos as fast as possible. Get your Ninja Tabi, then the Atalanta's Bow this will be your core until you sell boots. This provides great power and great physical pen to slay both adc and supp in your lane. After i generally like rushing rage to get the stacks as fast as possible then go on with the rest of the build. Overall you shred tanks your final item can be more crit or you can max your physical pen with Berserkers Shield the choice is yours.
Build against magical adc
So the only thing you're doing is pushing Atalanta's Bow forward one and rushing into Ichavial. Ichavail will help you stop their rush into the power rings of magic i.e Ring of Hecate, Hasten Ring, Demonic Grip, etc. You steal their attack speed and boost your own attack speed effectively dropping their Ring of Hecate procs and letting you win most engagements.
