Intro

Hello everyone to my Aphrodite build. This build will be one my biggest one due to my personal achievements. So this build will cover all three lanes Duo, Mid, and Solo. I made build for Support, Mid, and Solo roles in conquest. So if you want to try Aphrodite in different lanes these are decent builds you could bring to that lane. I hope you enjoy these builds and see you guys later.

Abilities

Abilities Of Aphrodite:

Center of Attention
A buff that gives you extra protections. Now a passive that is not utterly useless. What this passive does is if you are nearby a enemy or friendly god you gain 4 protections per stack. So now in duel her passive helps early game. While the old passive was useless. So if you want to go support Aphrodite you now can with this new passive that could give you 12 protections in dual lane. So now Aphrodite could be in more in the frontline give her well amount of protections in full team teamfights.

Kiss
An Projectile That Stuns Enemies and Buff Allies This ability is the bread and butter of your support. This grants your allies extra movement speed that helps them to get out of tight situations. This buff is not granted to you so be careful during certain situations. The damage increase helps your ally not yourself. You and your partner will do quick and easy damage to kill the god or do some extreme poking. Your partner will still be under the effect of Kiss during this duration. This ability also now has Aphrodite's old passive.

Back Off!
An Point Blank Attack That Deals Damage and Knock back Enemies This ability is a key factor to Aphrodite. This helps her in multiple ways. The first is help her do knock back damage to do a poke or help esacpe at low health. The second is the slow this helps you or your soulmate to do more damage or help to finish the job. As in the description the max slow is 25% not 50% and the person that applies the slow is you. Also you only apply one knock back if you hit both Back Off! with you and your soulmate. To able to hit both Back Off! hits you need to use Kiss on a ally to apply two pokes of damage.

Love Birds
An Line Attack That Heals Allies and Damages Enemies Over Time. This is Aphrodite's main ability. This is where she gets her lane clear and her main damage source. This ability helps her get her heals for herself and her allies, and no matter where you aim it your ally will still get the heal. This is where gets complicated, for the animation of the doves. When the doves go over the enemy it will apply the damage. So enemies could still dodge this ability with mobility movements.

Undying Love
An Buff That Makes You and Your Soulmate CC and Damage Immune Explanation: This ability is a very important ability to you and your allies. this ability make you damage resistant by 100% and CC immune for a short duration. Not like Khepri's ultimate this one could stop every execution in the game. Her ult is also good to stop other ults, like Poseidon's, Nu Wa's, and Ares's. So if you time this ability right you could save your team some deaths, towers, gold, and experience.

Ability Combos:

Pros / Cons of Aphrodite

Pros of Aphrodite:
1. Could heal yourself and allies.
2. Has a very important Ultimate.
3. Has a good supportive passive.
4. could do damage in mid to late game.
5. Could frontline most of team fights.
6. One of the best support mages.
7. Good in all three lanes in conquest.

Cons of Aphrodite:
1. Very Squishy in early game.
2. Mana hog in early game.
3. Could be pick off easily in early and mid game.
4. Not that much lane clear in start of the game.
5. Rely on CDR to pop abilities quickly.

Summary

These builds help rely on damage and protections. Aphrodite is declared one of the most underrated gods in the game. Everyone that see Aphrodite over think themselves that they are have a easy win over their lane. But they are proven wrong, due to her extreme heals and damage during mid and late game. She is also a perfect tank to go in the frontline in battles. The Support Build is all about be pure support nothing else. The solo build is getting you tank but give you damage to fight against your opponents. The mid lane build is all about damage with little bit amount of protections. This will make you dangerous in the game and they will think again before starting a fight with you. So I hope you like my Aphrodite build. As always Happy Killing!

I have some major issues with Rod of Ascep being built as second item. I'll outline them as follows: It provides zero mana, MP5, and cooldown. building it second does nothing to help aphrodite's sustain or push ability in lane. When Aphrodite's magical power is low, that extra 25% healing doesn't amount to much at all, and the loss in damage, ability to cast more quickly/more often (built chronos pendant as second item) is severe.

It's my opinion that building Rod of Ascep before 4th item at the EARLIEST can cripple the duo lane.

which build should I use for arena?

overld1 (18) | October 21, 2016 6:13am
It determines if you want to go more support or want to do more damage. I see the support build fits really well with other game modes besides conquest.

I feel that it is worth mentioning that Get Back also detonates from your soul mate and that it does not double if you're on the same target. In this case the one coming from Aphrodite deals the damage and knock back only. I know this is in the ability description, but your own description seems to lead others to believe otherwise. Also there are a few grammatical errors made throughout your guide. Other than that, this is a nice guide!

Thanks for advice I'll try to fix things issues accordingly. Thank you for liking it.

I might try out that support build. Aphrodite is the only god i have gotten at the moment to rank X and she is by far one of my favorite Gods in the game [Nox making it a close second]


I might make a couple of slight changes to the set though, such as placing the rod of Asclepius in my 4th slot rather than my 2nd just because i'd rather have the protection early game than the extra healing [which may come in handy either way] it's just an opinion of mine :) I'll most likely try out both and see which works better for me :)

Ello overld1 ! Since you kindly asked for a review of this guide, I shall, very happily, do it !

~Support Build~ I won't discuss about this since I also have a support build and it's somewhat different so yeah

~Solo Build~ You should at least have 1 item of defense for each type of dmg, IF you're actually gonna build defense. TBH I think on S3 Aphro solo will be Shoes of the Magi->Breatplate of Valor / ~Insert Magical Protection Item here~ ->Chronos Pendant -> Winged Blade -> Rod of Asclepius/ Gauntlet of Thebes -> Spear of the Magus / Rod of Tahuti - > Sell Magi for Foces if you didn't go with BoV.

~Mid Build~ Looks about right. I would go with Spear of the Magus since it DOES more penetration dmg than Obsidian Shard but still.


Guide is overall good, want to see you update it ;)

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.
