Yo, Stuke once again for another guide. This is going to be different from any of the other guides I wrote as it does not focus on one god or goddess. This will be a guide looking at all the warriors smite has to offer.
Note: you don't have to follow this guide to the smallest detail, these are suggestions on how to play these warriors. I encourage you to look at the comment section below and see other suggestions.
Warriors do not rely on their ability to deal damage but on their ability to do things to annoy the enemy team. So, build around their kit and try to use it to your full advantage, this also depends on what your role is as well, and will be the focus of building up your warrior. Here is some sample build that should get you started depending on what kind of warrior you're playing:
Master of War also providing a huge chunk of movement and protection.
Overflow so that when he uses an ability it doesn't cost any mana. Chaac also has multiple tricks up his sleeve revolving around his ax and his abilities giving an additional effect when his weapon is on the field. Chaac is good in the Middle Game as his clear 
Thunder Strike can easily take down the minion wave and his heal Rain Dance will give him enough to stay in the lane.
Berserk.
Conviction. Guan Yu starts to take off and becomes a serious threat when his hits level 5 and gets his ultimate 
Cavalry Charge ready.
Mitigate Wounds makes him a force not to be trifled with. Herc can be very effective in all stages of the game and never falls off because of his kit.
Earthbreaker into 
Driving Strike can make some great setups plus his natural tankiness can also help him as well.
Grapple makes her a solid pick for those two roles but beginner Mulan players should stick to Solo until they get more comfortable with her.
To Victory! and other crowd controls also emphasize a minor support role as well. Her main strategy is to jump in with 
Valiant Leap, hit the squishy with 
Rend, and pop 
Sentinel of Zeus if you need more control and tankiness.
Ring of Spears, so he can gain power and movement speed from his passive 
Path to Valhalla. Odin has a very strong early game thanks to his "Bird Bomb”, 
Raven Shout followed with 
Lunge, but kind of falls short in the later stages of the game because his damage wouldn't be enough to kill someone as they start to get bulky as the match goes on.
Fragmented, when he uses an ability it removes a body part from himself and for each part you lose your damage mitigation is increased by 2%/1%, depending on the type of damage taken, per body part. Osiris can be a very good Early Game god and it is possible to get First Blood before the 5-minute mark because of his ability to mitigate damage with his passive, stun them early on with 
Judgement Tether, or slow them with 
Sickle Strike.
The Magic Cudgel, high sustain with 
Somersault Cloud, and different crowd control or escapes from 
72 Transformations.
Change Stance it feels like he has 6 abilities in total, Guard and Assault. When playing him, you must make full use of his 
Fearless into 
Power Cleave Combo. When you level up Change Stance, it can increase the damage he has or the amount of protection he gets depending on the stance. He doesn't have a great Early Game but in the Mid-Late Game, he can do some serious damage as he can take hits, deal it back, and more.
Sleeping Giant as he gains physical power from buying items that offer physical protections or by simply leveling up which makes him a very good ADC or another hard-hitting physical god counters. When playing Vamana, you'll have to play passive, farm the lane, and try not to die as he is the best stalemate god for the solo lane.
Colossal Fury, as he gets damage from a percentage of his physical protection and you want to keep close to your opponent and dish out as much damage as you can. An Auto-Attack or Ability build can help to capitalize on this playstyle.
Umbrellarang is great for clearing the lanes and he's known for being the best at causing a stalemate in the Solo Lane but can also be a good Support because of his natural tankiness plus Colossal Fury can keep him in the fight.In Conclusion, all these warriors, some better than others, are all intricate and have many potentials for serving other roles like being great support or excelling in the jungle. If any more warriors come out or the gods receive a stat buff or nerf I'll be keeping updated on it. Hi-Rez's idea of what a warrior should serve has been right on the money and hope they make more in the future.

I think a hybrid build, but with an early ability focus, would be better.
One thought...maybe you can offer 2 builds for each category? Hybrid 1, Hybrid 2, etc.?
Shogun's is an aura item, yes. But by 4th/5th item, you're already rotating and starting to teamfight. It gives you magical prots to balance physical ones you might have gotten earlier, has AS to support a hybrid or basic-attacker, and when you group up for fights or objectives, it makes ALL of your nearby teammates deal more damage.
Void as another aura item is purchased even earlier, but as one of the few bruiser items that provides good physical prots, some power, and some health, you're mainly getting it that early for those stats, not the % pen so much. But if you also consider that at the point you're picking up Void, the enemy's also probably built against you, so their physical prots are probably in the range of 100 or so. That means this item provides maybe around 15 flat pen equivalence, which is not a bad early-game amount.
Most hybrid builds usually focus a bit more on their ability damage so seeing a ninja instead of warrior.
iirc correctly in earlier seasons the assassin hybrid build often included:
this one is kinda 1-4 (1-5 if we count shield)
Why are you so fond of Mystical Mail? I see it in pretty much your every build for an AA based Warrior. I mean, it's obviously not a bad item, but I think it gets outclassed by the alternatives. On auto attackers with good abilities/ability damage, building BoV for the CDR and mana can be life saving, while on pure auto attackers there are better items for phys. defence, for example the buffed Witchblade or the Hide of the Nemean Lion.
Every warrior is 'close-range', so with
Plus it's great for finishing low-health enemies trying to run without actually needing to be right next to them, got a few kills that way. :P
Amazing Guide. IM gonna go through this very thoroughly :o
Much appreciated on my end

Not possible man, some of the other gods do not complement my play style, hard to use, or just gods I flat out hate because they are OP or UP. I'm just going to stick to warriors as they are the front man to every fight, and use their balance of offense and defense to win the game.N
No problem, thanks for the guide.
Thanks for making this Guide for warriors can you make one for all the classes? Thanks
