Quick Guide Top
Petal is so much more versatile than before. Petal is able to play as a Lane, Jungle, or Roam since the devs have allowed her to with the
Ironguard Contract feature. However, she is now actually better at Jungle than Lane. And I would go ahead and say she is pretty much a Jungle role hero and not so much a Roam. Here is why, she can easily slip away to save herself, she can chase down an enemy trying to escape, she can kill jungle monsters super fast and even steal the enemies quickly. All in all this makes a perfect jungle hero. Once you try this build she won't disappoint you like she did in the past updates.
In this guide there will be multiple build paths depending on how your game is situated. I did my best to put together a guide that may solve multiple problems from various situations.

How To Use Her Skills Effectively Top
First make sure that you read everything about Petal's skills and know how they work. This will give you important information that you may not know about. Once you read about all the skills then we can discuss how to use her skills effectively below it.
HEROIC PERK: Munions - Petal controls three �??munion�?? pets. Pets have 8 (+11 per level, +45% of crystal) damage. A few moments after Petal plants a seed, it will automatically sprout a munion, up to a maximum of 3 pets. In addition, basic attacks mark enemy heroes with sunlight. If a munion bites a marked target, the sunlight is consumed and Petal gains 10-40% attack speed (level 1-12) for 1.5 seconds.
A-SKILL: Brambleboom Seeds - Petal plants a Brambleboom seed directly in front of her. Seeds near Petal will sprout into pets after a brief delay, up to 3 pets. Seeds have a small vision radius and survive for 20 seconds. If an enemy steps on a seed, the seed explodes and knocks the enemy back. Petal stores up to 6 seeds as charges, gaining a seed every 15 seconds. Petal gains charges faster the more charges she already has.
DETAILS:
Seed & Pet HP: 4/5/6/7/9
Heal/sec: 5/6/7/8/13
Defense: 10/14/18/22/26
Damage: 80/135/190/245/300 (+1 Crystal)
Pet Level: 1/2/3/4/6
B-SKILL: Trampoline! - Activate when standing on a boom seed to trampoline off it and launch forward in Petal�??s facing direction. Using this ability will rally all pets back to Petal�??s location.
ULTIMATE SKILL: Spontaneous Combustion - Petal commands her pets to explode one by one, slowing and dealing splash damage to nearby enemies while healing nearby allies. Pets are invincible during channeling. Detonated pets become seeds.
DETAILS:
Damage Per Explosion: 180/240/300 (+0.7 Crystal)
Heal: 70/90/110 (+0.25 Crystal)

EFFECTIVE SKILL USE: In this part of the chapter I will talk about all the tips and tricks you could use for each skill with Petal. So lets get on with it...
A-Skill Now this skill is pretty much the most important skill that Petal needs. Contained within this one skill are lots of abilities. Not only does it spawns Munions or help her get away with her Trampoline ability, but it also knocks the enemies who step on it back and that is important in that it gives you some vision and slows the enemy down. Especially when your team is trying to take the Kracken, Gold Mine, or steal some of the enemy's jungle monsters. It will save your life a lot of the times. However, this only works when you place them strategically and remember to not use all your seeds up or else you won't have any left. So save at least one so that you can escape if you need to.
How to place them "strategically"? Well, its almost common sense that if you want the enemy to stay away then of course place them where you think that the enemy will come from. You could also place one right between the bushes by the jungle shop when you are about to look into the enemy's bush. That way when there are actually enemy's then when they chase you; they will get knocked back and have some damage already dealt to them.

Petal's Unique Range Top
USE HER RANGE: Petal has more range than you would expect and that makes her very able to chase down targets to finish a kill. However, that isn't the only thing she can do with her flexible range.
KITING THROUGH WALLS: The great thing about Petal and her munions is that she has the ability to keep targeting an enemy hero because her munions give her vision on the target. This allows her to shoot at the enemy through walls as the enemy tries to run to their base. Also it gives Petal some room between the enemy and her in case its someone who is lethal in close combat.
CHASING HEROES: Petal is very capable of chasing down an enemy because her munions. Then their is the fact that she has the skill
Trampoline! which allows her to jump in any directions she wants to. So in theory you could jump towards a target to catch up or if you are running away then you could jump away while kiting the enemy trying to chase you.
VISION: Keeping vision on the enemy will not only allow yourself to finish the enemy off, but also allow your teammates to target the enemy too. For example, Celeste and her ultimate skill,
Solar Storm.
WALL FARMING: If you have a smart roam teammate he might place a mine right under a jungle monster for vision. This is a plus in that it gives you information on if the monster has spawned and if the enemy is taking it. However, this also allows you to use your range more effectively and shoot through the walls for some farm without having the trouble of being in a dangerous position or receive damage from the monster. This works for pretty much all ranged heroes. Although Petal is unique in that her munions will go around the walls just to attack the monster and as munions walk around the wall they will also give you vision in the bush it walked in.
