Cost: 800/1500/2000

+5/10/15% physical lifesteal
+5/10/15 physical penetration
+5/10/15 Hp5

Passive: Your basic attacks deal 50% of their damage in a 15-foot area. Enemies can only be hit once by this additional damage per basic attack. (So Mercury can't proc this four times on one target).

If you're wondering, this item is intentionally built an early game item. Mainly for junglers. But it can also be good for gods who have poor waveclear.

Not sure if I like it, though. No more movement speed, no more crit chance. There's already a SERIOUS lack of both of those traits in items (the only viable crit is on GB, Malice/Rage, and DB, and for physical the only viable MS is on Fatalis, Heartseeker, and GB. MAYBE** Witch Stone).

But I would like this branch for people who want tankiness instead of damage on golden bow. Obviously it's not *tanky* per se, but the lifesteal and hp5 provide sustain over burst.

Er, aren't those the only crit items?

Actually, I wanted to ask you if you ever use the Golden Bow at all on gods who aren't Mercury. It just doesn't seem to give much. Crit chance is too weak to be useful, Movement speed is too weak to be useful, physical power is underwhelming, and frankly, I feel the price is too high.

I used to use it on Artemis, back when I was young and naïve. I used to build for the highest crit chance possible, so I bought all crit items.

Bakasura for sure. Note his ult makes his *basic* attacks cone. It does not remove their status as basic attacks.

Also used to use it on heavy autoa ttack based champions with no waveclear. Apollo, Artemis, etc.

If I recall correctly, they removed this from Bakasura's ult, sadly.

Can confirm; no longer works on Bakasura ultimate.

My fault, whoops. Never a big baka player, but did used to do that.
Sadness.
I'd still take it on him regardless, because it's very worth to build him full attack speed to benefit from the true damage, and the AoE from all the basic attacks will rot a team or a minion wave.

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.
