Greetings fellow citizens of the Halcyon Fold!

This is an update to my previous Petal guide, since it was made under v1.07 and new updates were made since then.
More comprehensive and more newbie friendly.

- Petal plants seeds that restore health over time when she or allies stand on them.
- Petal can transform seeds into pets (aka Munions) that fight for her from a distance.
- Petal's unmatched basic attack and pet range allows her to harass like no one else

After the brief overview, here is the Item Guide:

To begin:
BUY:
1. Ironguard Contract
2. Scout Trap 1x + Halcyon Potion 2x

This is the most effective way to farm, pots ready, and scout trap for vision or just to scare away enemies.

The build I always make is Tanky Jungler Petal, and here are the core items and purchase them in the following order:
1. Stormguard Banner
2. Travel Boots
3. Shiversteel

Once you have this three core items, you can choose whether you'd go for Weapon or Crystal, always check the enemy heroes and what build they're making. Consider your teammates as well on the items that they're building as you can go for the support type too!

This is my most common build as Petal becomes a real killer and can be independent from the team. A weapon powered petal becomes less dependent from her cute little munions. This build means you should have better control of the hero as its normal attacks will sting the enemies.
After the core items have been made, here is the item list:
1. Tension Bow, afterwards you can opt to upgrade the boots to tier 3.
2. Sorrowblade.
3. Tyrant's Monocle, I sell my Stormguard Banner at this point.
4. Bonesaw, replacing Tension Bow
5. Fountain of Renewal

This build means that Petal's munions will get stronger, while her normal attack remains weak. This increases the damage of Petal's ultimate skill - Spontaneous Combustion. This build is an effective pusher, and can take down Crystal and Gold mines faster. A great team player as the ultimate is much stronger. Also upgrading the boots will be optional or least in priority since the chasing might be done by your teammates and you shall be safe far from the actual clash.
1. Clockwork - increases the cooldown
2. Shatterglass. +115 crystal power
3. Alternating Current, sell Stormguard Banner.
4. [[Shatterglass again, replacing Clockwork
5. Fountain of Renewal or Crucible for defense.

I rarely do this build, but because of the new update for team queueing, i might use this more often. Petal's role as support is to slow down enemies, make damage and create panic, and of course provide love to her allies.
1. Frostburn
2. Clockwork
3. Fountain of Renewal
4. Crucible, replacing [[Shiversteel
5. Upgrade Stormguard Banner to Warhorn

Depending on your farm, or gameplay, you can buy the items however you please. The keyword here is - ADAPT!

Petal can choose either lane or jungle.

In Lane - master the art of last hitting! Plant seeds in the bushes near the tower, don't summon the pets unless there's a clash. It's because lane mobs tend to chew on the munions, so better yet, don't summon them. Make sure they're hidden, and not too far, in case an ally ganks.

In Jungle - When jungling, keep your eyes on the mini-map. Know the heroes in the lane, and who's missing. When in doubt, stay away from the bushes where enemies could be lurking. Lure the jungle mobs away from the bushes, petal has a good range for this. Plant seeds near the bushes too, up to 5 (max stack of healing for seeds is 5), this will give Petal a mini-healing station.
- Check the time, all the time. Jungle Mobs respawn in 1 minute intervals. Check the map all the time if an ally is jungling, don't waste your time going to areas where mobs haven't respawned yet.
- Be daring, go to enemy jungle areas and steal their mobs away! If you're not confident enough, switch to lane while the monsters are respawning.

- Know where your enemies are with Petal's seeds! Plant them in conspicuous places like the Jungle Shop or in the middle of the map near Gold mine. Enemies can't resist the free 8 gold from the seed; and when it's gone from your mini-map, you'll know where they are!

- Hit and Hop - Petal's own form of kiting. Slowly chew away the HP of enemies by hitting and hopping away! If enemy seems to be following you, hit and then hop towards the tower or healthy ally closest to you! If enemy is running away, hit and hop towards the direction your enemy is running to!

- Minion Mines and Gold Mine - Petal is responsible for taking down this things. This means more gold for Petal and munions! Make sure to get Stormguard Banner before the 4th minute. Basic attacks deal +50 damage per second to non-heroes as true damage (Stormguard Banner) allowing Petal and munions to take down crystal mines faster than anyone else. Try to take down the Gold Mine if its more than half-full for more Gold!

- Chasing Heroes - Use Shiversteel! Hit and hop towards the enemy, keep your distance, and the munions will take care of the rest!

- Seeds at the Ready - Petal's strength comes from her munions. In case Saw's suppressing fire, Adagio's fire, Catherine's shield, Glaive's cleave, or Koshka's Twirl obliterates the pets, easily resummon them back. In using Petal, always check the HP of the munions, then press Yay Pets to heal them. If in case, it's too late, press Yay! Pets only if the corpse of the munions disappears on screen, this ensures that the munions sprout from the seeds; pressing it too early won't do anything and cooldown takes a while.

vs Ringo - Use shiversteel, they won't be able to run away! Even with them using Tension Bow, Petal's extra HP ensures the win.
vs Saw - Hit and Hop! Never ever face Saw directly and most probably your munions have been erased already, so kite for your life! Take advantage of Saw's slow mobility and Petal's extra long range.
vs Catherine - Hit and Hop! Take note of your munions' HP as they will be drained away by Cath's shield. Pressing Yay! Pets will do the trick. Don't worry about her attacks because Cath has the lowest normal damage.
vs Koshka - Hit and Hop! and use shiversteel. Don't let Koshka get too close, her attacks are painful. As usual, monitor the HP of your pets, press Yay! Pets as necessary to restore their HP.
vs Glaive - Don't get this slumbering beast get too close to you! Use shiversteel to slow the approach of this monster and let your monions take care of it!
vs Adagio - Getting close to Adagio is really dangerous, Petal has no stun to cancel Adagio's ultimate. The fire will burn her munions to crisp too! I deal with Adagio using a weapon build so I won't have to worry about my pets being away for a while.
vs Petal - Spontaneous Combustion all the way! Let them know the cutest shall stand strong!
