Introduction

This guide is no longer up to date and as such has been archived.

Hey everyone! I'm OMGASIA, casual Smite addict. While I know how to enjoy all casual game modes, I mostly play Joust and Arena. I’ve decided to start getting basic guides up for new Gods as they are released so there is a starting point for players who weren’t able to test them on the PTS. This isn't meant to be a definitive end all be all on Ao Kuang. This is the way I've enjoyed playing him so far, and possibly others will enjoy as well!

Here he is, !

Trogdoooooor! I mean… um… Ao Kuaaaaang!

This guide is still a work in progress

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Insane attack speed
Great Burst
High Single Target Damage
Arguably the coolest Ultimate animation in the game

Cons:

Squishy
His escapes can’t always be relied on
Very susceptible to Crowd Control
He’s not ALWAYS a giant awesome dragon

teleports you forward and makes you invisible while leaving a pool where you were standing. Activating it again detonates the pool doing damage to everyone inside. You’ll stay invisible for either 5s, until you attack, or until you take damage. This can be used for initiating as well as escaping.

To initiate, activate it where you’ll be close enough to your target to hit them within 5s. Keep in mind that taking any damage will reveal you, so don’t go trying to sneak through their attacks! Another thing to keep in mind is that it works like a short range blink. You will be facing the same direction after teleporting. That means that if you are teleporting through the enemy you’ll have to do a 180 in order to face them. See the Skill Combos section below to learn how to chain it with [[dragon call] for surprise death potential.

To use this as your getaway, aim the landing target in a place where you won’t take damage. Make sure not to use any abilities after you go invisible or you’ll break the stealth! The enemy will expect you to run in a straight line, continuing the direction you were going. Veering off to the side or running diagonally can help you dodge their guesswork attacks. If you have to you can even run back past them, however keep in mind you only have five seconds before you unstealth. Towers, Phoenixes, and Titans can still see you. Think ahead and play it safe!

Helpful Hints:

won’t start the cooldown timer until either 5s has passed or your pool detonates. If you know you can’t catch anyone in your pool detonate it early to get that cooldown timer going. Remember it pulls you from stealth so be careful!

You can also teleport through walls! It’s a fairly short range, so you can’t go through super thick jungle sections. You can, however, go through ’s wall, arena walls and pillars, walls in front of titans, etc. This is great for initiating or escaping since you won’t be as obvious.

Updates

Archived guide. I do not plan up updating this one further. It was intended to just be a basic resource when there was not a lot of knowledge about the god. There are much more useful guides and this one is not up to date with the most recent Ao Kuang changes.

11/21/14

Fixed some formatting issues.

Tempted to +1 just for the Trogdor reference.

Back when Ao had his old model and looked like trogdor, I always wanted a "Kuangdor the Windinator" skin

Haha thanks! And yeah that would be a hilarious skin.

Just find the image you want to use and put it in this format, but have the parentheses be brackets instead. (img=URL HERE)(/img)
