This is a build with more power and penetration than example II. It is also a more fun build.
Build this when YOU personally are getting railed. Or something like this. If your team is getting owned and you need to put on the backpack, get some damage.
I originally had Sovereignty after Gauntlet of Thebes but I replaced it with Lono's Mask so that I can have a talk with you.
Lono's Mask is very situational... you can build it early or late but if you are going a full tank build especially you will do NEGATIVE damage. You will also be unkillable. Like actually go play 2 conquest games with build 1 vs. build 2. I like them both but they serve 2 very different purposes.
THAT being said, I don't like building Lono's Mask unless I am crying and getting bullied WHILE my team is doing good. Because it makes you more tanky and able to get in there so that your backline can do work. If the entire team and I are getting ****ed, I am not building Lono's. Unless I'm trying to stack damage mitigated to prove a point or something.
Jotunn's Wrath: You want CDR early and flat pen is good.
Brawler's Beat Stick: You are vs. prevalent healing and prefer brawlers over tanky antiheal.
Void Shield: You are going a more power/pen build or you have a comp that is heavy physical damage.
Titan's Bane: You are super committed to the power/pen build.
Sovereignty: They have a lot of physical damage and you want to support the team.
Spectral Armow: At least 1 enemy is going crit.
Breastplate of Valor: Can replace Jotunn's Wrath or Soverignty as an item after Gauntlet of Thebes if you want 20% CDR. Very selfish item but oh well...
Contagion: You are tank Neith and don't want to get Brawler's Beat Stick. You are more concerned about their physical damage vs. magical.
Bulwark of Hope: You are hopeful
Talisman of Energy: Bad version of Shogun's Kusari. Get it if you want a similar passive but don't want to overcap CDR.
Shogun's Kusari: Good version of Talisman of Energy. Get it if you aren't planning on capping CDR through Jotunns/Breastplate + Pridwen
Heartward Amulet: They have 3+ magical damage
Pestilence: You are tank Neith and don't want to get Brawler's Beat Stick. You are more concerned about their magical damage vs. physical.
Pridwen: I'LL BE THE FIRST TO SAY the passive doesn't really do **** on Neith... Like I admit it. I still like the item Idc if I get a shield while I'm sitting in fountain ulting across the map.
Spirit Robe: You can't afford Mantle of Discord and/or value the passive mitigations and CCR more than Mantle's passive.
Mantle of Discord: You need an all around defensive item and haven't capped CDR.
Witchblade: Enemy has a lot of auto attackers.
Winged Blade: Enemy has slows that ruin your day.
Relic Dagger: You wanna use your relics more.
Lono's Mask: You are getting absolutely railed by the enemy team to the point where you are sobbing and crying and want to quit Smite. Its ok... supports are supposed to be 12 levels behind, right guys?...
What I normally get: Purification Beads or Bracer of Radiance into Blink Rune.
I LIKE Bracer. I have no idea how good it is but I really do like it... its fun and interesting and new. I also like how bracer into blink makes your relic slot golden and pretty. Anyways, If you get bracer make sure to place the first one at the red buff so that your adc will get to purple faster. After that I place them in lane during the laning phase, and then in mid lane after that. You can also place it at GF/FG to sentry ward and then give your team 10% increased power vs. those objectives and while fighting around those objectives.

Global ultimate, support from wherever you want. 54-second cooldown full CDR.
She has CC on all 4 of her abilities! Double hunter in duo = good early pressure. You can build her super tanky or more damage-oriented... Variety. She is very fun and easy to play, and she just got a new skin. |

If you are not hitting her Spirit Arrow 90% of the time, you are gonna struggle.
- It is very easy to hit. All of her abilities are. I believe in you. She is not as tanky as a traditional support without Lono's Mask (which is for cowards), the Nupport playstyle is something you need to get used to. I will talk more about this later. If you fall behind early you are going to hate life. A lot. She doesn't have any hard CC outside of her ultimate. No CC immunity in her kits, Purification Beads is a necessity against some gods/comps. |
Chapter 3: Nupport Playstyle is coming soon. I am too busy right now... So this is the end for now. Until like, later today or tomorrow.
Questions and Answers:
Q: Why Neith support?
A: She is fun in every role. I love Neith. Also, support is really boring right now. Remember, if you are trying and building like a support you can play any god you want and it's legal.
Q: Do you have success with the Nupport?
A: Of course.
Q: Is this a troll build?
A: No. Does it look like one. Go play Neith support for an hour, try different builds, and come back and tell me about how enlightened you are.
But actually, if I'm being direct with you. Whether you play Neith or Yemoja in your casual 11pm conquest queue will not matter. Probably don't play her in Ranked. I don't. Shes just something fun that you CAN play and do ok without boring yourself to death playing a zzz guardian
I have not proofread this guide. Don't look too closely.

Also, one game doesn't necessarily signify the effectiveness of a build. There are so many variables in any given match...skill from matchmaking, your team's and the enemies' god choices, overall level of the player's skill that tries this, etc.
Beta being used in that format is new to me. I guess I don't get out much. That said, I will say that you shouldn't be surprised by downvotes without explanations. That's pretty typical, not only of this site but any other site where anonymous voting is allowed. There are different ways to take the downvotes, though I will say that your tone is more likely to invite further downvotes and negative feedback than to create positive discourse. Maybe that's what you want, or maybe you don't care, but I personally try to keep things positive when possible. In any case, I'll make it clear that I've not downvoted this. At the same time, I hesitate to upvote this despite the work put into it. I just would never recommend Neith as a support, especially since most of the people considering this are likely newer, and I'd like to steer them more on the "meta" path so they can learn as well as possible and have the most likely chance of success as opposed to getting discouraged.
Also...I don't know if that's a real challenge, but it tempts me, though I just don't like Neith nearly enough to take you up on that.
Now for some guide/build feedback:
I will take ur feedback into account :) Also I failed to consider tanky antiheal because I always just build brawlers but I can see how that would conflict with Tank Neith... so I will add it!
