No MP5 until item 5? And yet get 20% CD early (item 3). Feels like it needs more balance.

Plenty of options for 2nd or 3rd item with good MP5 - Blackthorn, Frostbound, Transcendance, Heartseeker. Or move Hydra's up to 2nd or at least 3rd?

Definitely do not run this build in Solo lol, or in general.

Yeah this is a pretty bad one, though it's also outdated, updated in October last year.

It's hard to tell in some ways what mode this is even for, but the fact that Teleport Fragment is in there makes me think it's for Solo / Conquest.

0 protection for a tanky god and role outside of Infused Sigil, with a mess of ability-based (Jotunn's, Hydra's) and basic attack items (Devo's, Atalanta's). It has good flat pen but barely any % pen for what ends up being a damage build, making this build like a chicken with its head cut off...no real direction, and definitely not one to suggest.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
