How to start with this build

Starting the game you want to instantly stance change into ice stance. Put a point in your two and stay in spawn to rush Power Boots. Once purchased walk close to the wall of speed buff and throw Blizzard over the buff to help your jungler. Stance change to fire stance and proceed to your wave where you will just be in time for the first enemy minion to basic attack. Place Dragon fire on the wave and finish off with your charged basics then put a point in your one and proceed to clearing your small harpies. Once you have hit level 3 I would recommend putting a point in your two again only if you feel safe to as this will allow you to full clear and get back to spawn quicker so you can purchase your wards and mana potion. If you are worried you will be ganked before this put a point in your 3 and clear wave then back for your First back item. Once you’ve purchased Chronos Pendant your main focus is clearing and stealing as much farm on the map as you can and only rotating when all the farm on your lane is gone.

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.
