(⌐□_□) Agni's Hot Sauce: A Spicy Build (For Most Gamemodes))

Ive played Smite since beta!! Atleast 1,115 hours of game play time across pc and conoles as of today!

Lots of hours but by no means a pro or high level!

My builds are by no means for competitive play I play lots of casual matches!!!


You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.




God's I REALLY Like Playing: Chaac, Ah Muzen Cab, Chiron, Cerberus, Sylvanas, Terra, ISIS (OR ESET), Scylla, Raijin, Mercury(not as much anymore), Fafnir, Skadi, Geb, Nut, Arachne, Kali, Medusa, Thoth,



All feedback and discussion is welcome!!

Pros
High Burst Damage

Items like Doom Orb, Spear of Desolation, and Spear of the Magus significantly boost Agni's magical power and penetration, allowing him to deal massive burst damage.
Cooldown Reduction

Chronos' Pendant and Staff of Myrddin provide significant cooldown reduction, ensuring that Agni's abilities are available more frequently, maximizing his damage output and crowd control.
Enhanced Mobility

Doom Orb and Gem of Focus increase movement speed, allowing Agni to reposition quickly in fights and chase down or escape from enemies effectively.
Sustained Damage

The build allows for both burst and sustained damage, with Spear of the Magus providing increased damage over time as abilities stack on enemies.
Survivability

Gem of Focus offers health and additional protections through its passive, giving Agni some much-needed survivability.
Temporal Beads and Aegis of Acceleration provide essential defensive options, allowing Agni to avoid crowd control and burst damage.
Utility and Crowd Control

Agni's abilities provide strong area denial and crowd control, with stuns from Noxious Fumes and zoning potential from Rain Fire.





Cons
Fragility

Despite the added survivability from Gem of Focus, Agni remains relatively squishy and can be easily targeted and killed if caught out of position.
Reliance on Ability Accuracy

Agni’s effectiveness heavily depends on landing his abilities accurately. Missing key abilities like Noxious Fumes and Rain Fire can significantly reduce his damage output.
High Mana Consumption

Agni's abilities consume a lot of mana, especially in prolonged fights. While Chronos' Pendant helps with cooldowns, it doesn’t address mana sustain directly.
Late Game Vulnerability

Agni can struggle in the late game against high-mobility and high-damage enemies who can quickly close the gap and burst him down.
Dependency on Relics

Agni relies heavily on Temporal Beads and Aegis of Acceleration to survive against crowd control and burst damage. If these relics are on cooldown, he becomes much more vulnerable.
Complex Gameplay

Effective use of Agni’s abilities, particularly his combos with Noxious Fumes, requires good positioning and timing, making the build more suited for players familiar with Agni’s mechanics.
Vulnerability to Anti-Heal

While not directly relying on lifesteal, any form of anti-heal can still disrupt his sustain from health-providing items and abilities.

This Agni build offers high burst damage, cooldown reduction, and enhanced mobility, making him a formidable presence in fights. However, his fragility, reliance on ability accuracy, and dependency on relics for survival require careful positioning and strategic play. Balancing his high damage potential with his survivability is key to maximizing his effectiveness in various matchups.

Warding
Early Game: Place wards near jungle entrances and mid-lane sides to spot enemy rotations and potential ganks.
Mid to Late Game: Ward key objectives like Fire Giant, Gold Fury, and enemy jungle paths to maintain vision control and prevent ambushes.

Communication!!! Communication!!! Communication!!!

Use Those Voice Commands But Don't Spam Like A brainrotted 14 year old.

Callouts: Communicate enemy positions, cooldowns, and objective timings to your team.
Positioning: Always position yourself safely in team fights. Use your range and abilities to poke and burst enemies without exposing yourself to danger.
Engagements: Coordinate with your team for engagements. Use Temporal Beads and Aegis of Acceleration to avoid CC and burst damage.

Agni benefits from teammates who can provide protection, crowd control, and initiation, enhancing his ability to deal high burst damage and survive in fights. He is countered by gods who can apply high burst damage, mobility, crowd control, and anti-heal effects, disrupting his ability to sustain and be effective in fights. Understanding these synergies and counters will help you maximize Agni’s effectiveness and mitigate his weaknesses in various matchups and team compositions.

Agni with this build excels as a high burst damage mage with strong cooldown reduction, mobility, and penetration. Focus on maximizing your magical power and ability uptime to dominate team fights and skirmishes. Use your abilities strategically to control the battlefield and burst down key targets. Effective communication, warding, and team coordination will be key to dominating with Agni using this build.
