Disclaimer

I'm a newer player as of 1.0 who simply chose to main Myth and this guide is written with the knowledge I've gained recently (20hours of 1.0 Gameplay) via my own experience and speaking to other Myth OTP's primarily.

With that out of the way, there's a few things I think anyone getting into Myth should know right off the bat;

She has a lot of bugs. The most influencial being that her %Greenwood Bow 's Cooldown is reportedly bugged, resulting in not firing arrows consecutively as fast as she should be able to.
Understanding Attackspeed modifyers currently have no impact on her %Greenwood Bow therefore making @Ragesteel Gauntlet Best In Slot for her Primary Attack Damage Grip. This makes @Trigger Fingers for example, useless to my knowledge.

The Build

Grips

@Ragesteel Gauntlet As afforementioned, this is her Best In Slot Grip given it provides 15% Primary Attack Damage on a Grip, and the downside is completely ignored by Myth. Comparatively, @Power Gauntlet provides 11% Primary Attack Damage, 4% Less.
@Burning Palm May seem like an odd choice at first, compared to simply taking @Power Gauntlet or @Longclaw Optics for example. Especially fully upgraded, it will always consistently provide 5% Max Health damage over a 2.2 second burn duration. Often times getting multiple procs in succession. I assume this damage is before % Armor reduction but have not tested it. I found that this damage works out to being more consistent for both PvE and PvP than the other grips could provide.

Relics

@Harmonic Edge Is a no brainer, in my mind. Provides 40% more damage on every 4th Primary Attack. This includes Myth's Ultimate - %Virideth's Fury . If you're tracking your shots and plan for the last ultimate attack to also be a 4th Primary Attack, it drastically boosts your damage output. Outside of that interaction, the sudden uptick in damage may catch an enemy off guard or outright kill them on standard %Greenwood Bow attacks.
@Ultimate Diadem Understanding how useful @Harmonic Edge is for %Virideth's Fury , we now look to include more damage and uptime for that ultimate. Pretty straight forward, right? Here's an example of @Ultimate Diadem bringing the last shot over 1000 damage in testing

Kicks

@Rocket High-Tops are the safe choice, providing more travel distance on %Phase Walk and 10% Movement Speed. If you'd prefer to use @Bloodlust Boots that is her best option as it currently stands with the stacking movespeed, and base of 15%. It alows Myth to WASD a lot more within fights, rather than always relying on %Phase Walkto make space.

Perks

Rather than provide bullet points for each one, I encourage you to hove over them and get an idea for what they do. I've simply provided some of the easier to guarantee perks, there's many that are better and your mileage may vary. @Farsight@Swiftness@Fortitude@Amplified Haste@Amplified Speed
A couple other examples of perks you'll often find that're quite good are @Lockdown @Dash Engine and @Vive Collector. You're also likely to gain even stronger perks by the end game.

Skills

%Greenwood Bow Myth's bread and butter is her Primary Attack Damage, she's a, "Fighter" after all. There is some Nuance with this ability that's not immediately obvious at first. When you Charge the bow, you'll notice a Sound Effect when it's partially charged(GREEN STAGE), and fully charged(BLUE STAGE). At both of these points there is an uptick in damage. At closer ranges it's most optimal to be in Green Stage, compared to Blue Stage as it's quicker and therefore has higher Damage Per Second. At a range, or for a little more individual UMPH (say with a 4th shot from @Harmonic Edge ) you may choose Blue Stage. It is worth noting her Blue Stage also does Destruction Damage which is more damage to Destructible Objects, such as Oath's Wall.
%Heartpiercer Myth's main, GET OFF MEE! - button. Can be charged to better affect, and notably gains increased range when level 4, as well as resets your Dash ability upon a successful Environment Stun, which is any solid object the target is knocked into, causes the user to take damage and be stunned temporarily. When used aggresssively, the Dash reset encourages the player to Dash while using %Heartpiercer to make it harder to react to, or potentially line up for a better angle to get an Environment Stun. The collission damage is also nothing to scoff at! Being aware of when to save the cooldown, and when to considering using this skill aggressively, may make or break any individual fight.
%Phase Walk Myth's traversal ability allowing herself to travel through Most Environmental installments, i.e walls, trees, etc. IMPORTANT - RECEIVING DAMAGE WHILE IN PHASE WALK WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TRAVERSE THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENT. It's important that's in very Clear bold lettering, as the skill doesn't make it clear at first and you may find yourself wondering...Is this a bug? As you die to the ring wondering why you are not able to get through that mountain to safety. Don't worry - it's intended, just not obvious at first. Additionally, If Phase Walk ends while inside a wall, you lose 30 additional Mana and teleport to where you entered the wall. It's also possible for Allies and Enemies(?) to Phase Walk by touching the orb you leave behind. At level 4 this ability notably lasts longer and has a shorter cooldown! As a running theme, you may have guessed - be conservative with your usage of this skill, unless it's in conjunction with a level 4 %Heartpiercer you only have Two Charges, where some characters have 3 or abilities that in of them selves have gap closing potential. Holding and navigating both long and short ranges will be instrumental to your success, and this skill facilitates that at times.
%Rain of Arrows Myth's arrow rain will allow for a generous splash of Area Denial both when engaging and disengaging from fights if used correctly. It will Slow down the enemies and apply Anti-Heal while also providing ample damage if they are stuck in the range, this also makes it good for PvE camps that don't move. @Burning Palm provides extra guaranteed damage to any ticks they happen to take from arrow rain, and if they're unlucky enough to be stuck in its range for the duration, it literally and figuratively starts to Burn. At level 4, this skill will have more range and even lower cooldown! It's worth noting, this skill does not come out very fast so you need to use it with that delay in mind. Finally, it is worth noting if an enemy dies while in range of this skill, Cremation will be applied to the wisp - which simply means it burns out(dies) faster.
%Virideth's Fury Myth's ultimate is pretty simple - click button, shoot guy, guy die. Maybe...? Your next 3 %Greenwood Bow shots are Empowered, doing More Damage, Knockback, and Pierces Destructible Objects as well as Enemies(Collateral). The final attack has bonus damage, additionally. It's notable that while using this skill (6s Duration), you are able to use Any of Myth's Skills. You're not locked into it like Hanzo from Overwatch, for example. So if you want to use %Phase Walk into%Heartpiercer for an Environmental Stun so the enemy can't avoid some of %Virideth's Fury , go for it! As the running theme goes, and I can't say this enough - Frugal but intentional use of her skills is the best method. If you mash everything and have no dash, no get off me button, no area denial then wonder why you died - no guide can help you. To reiterate, as it was afformentioned - @Ultimate Diadem especially at 3 stars will allow for Myth's ultimate to really shine both in Damage and Uptime. So go wild!
%Spectral Hunter Myth's passive ability is pretty simple so I left it for last - You will have vision of Injured Hunters in the fog of war, climb highground walls with jump (must be facing the wall) and restore 500 Health on knocks. That's it!

In conclusion, Myth bluntly speaking in the current 1.0 meta has issues with the dive comps especially. Lacking as many options for mobility as a Brall, or buggy Wukong, for example, leaves her being suffocated out of options at times. With that said, through Frugal but intentional use of her skills, there is still room for outplay, and within a controlled teamfight scenario Myth's Utility and Damage wont be ignored!

I hope this new players perspective and limited knowledge has provided something new for Someone reading this, and if you'd like to provide any insights I'm often in the Discord so say hi! Happy to learn more than I already know.

Cheers,

- Break.
