My favorite God is Freya, but her lack of escape is killing me. Against Anubis, Zeus, and etc. If I just keep poking them with only Pulse eventually i'm going to run out of mana, and I continuously get pushed back and back. Against Anubis same thing, except i get push back easier thanks to his ground AOE.

With Zeus it feels like his Auto-attack is father than my pulse, plus the face that I try to look out for it, but get caught hitting him when he pops his shield, and then of course get nuked because Pulse procs his overcharge.

Is Freya just F'ed against them, or do I need build a certain way? Any tips would be welcomed.

First off, if you aren't building mage freya, you're going to have a very rough time. That's the build freya does best with at this moment.

Second, you should never use just pulse for burst. Pulse can be activated alongside Irradiate for sick dual burst. You only lose the slow and AoE - which isn't much of a problem 1v1.

Third, if you can, land a banish on them before you engage. Then, while they are in the air, run up to them and position yourself for your 1+2 combo. This works better late game as you have burst - early game your damage is meh at best. They may outrange you, but if you banish them, you have ample time to catch up, and poking them with pulse/irradiate combo will get them killed before you run out of mana.

My general build on freya goes as follows: Boots of the Magi, Rod of Tahuti, Bancroft's Talon, Polynomicon, Demonic Grip. The 5th item can be any of the following: Obsidian Shard for Magic Penetration; Gem of Binding for slowing even with the combo removing its own slow; Fatalis for faster movement speed, auto attacks, and no backpedal penalty; Voidstone for both penetration and magic protection, or finally Chronos' Pendant if you want CDR.

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.
