Ama tips

Ama is an excellent counter to many gods and can be extremely effective in team fights when played properly.

Just a quick few tips:

-DONT ALWAYS ENGAGE WITH YOUR 3 (dash)! The silence in Ama's 3rd ability can be extremely useful. If possible, save it for when the enemy uses an ability you can cancel with the silence.
-Examples: When Guan Yu uses his 3, you can counter with your 3, cancelling his ability.
When Bellona uses her 2, you can use your 3 to silence her out of the ability before her overhand attack, etc.

-Don't rush your 2 when engaging in a fight to get quick damage. If possible, try to hit at least 3 basic attacks before re-activating your 2 so her passive becomes active, giving your 2 more damage.

-If you are fighting a tough god, or more than 1, when you activate your 2, leave it up as long as possible to take advantage of the extra damage mitigation it provides.

What would you recommend building instead of Golden Gooseberries?

Kriega1 (143) | February 17, 2024 6:40pm
Animosity Axe, Vital Amplifier, Void Shield (or Zerk/Phalanx), Shogun's, Envenomed Exe, Spectral/Fill

Golden Shard acts as Gooseberries

A side note, the "Full Cooldown" is now just 35%. I believe the warrior's innate CD was reduced from 10% to 5%.

No items I can find that just have 5% (or 15%), so it's 35% or overcap and lose some value.

Actually that's not the case. Warriors start with 5% CD as their class bonus, and at level 20 they end with 10%, so a full build only needs 30%.

I'm going to be dead honest with you. I enjoyed each build and had fun with my friends as we take turns with building one of these builds for amaterau, and so I'm thanking you for these wonderful builds.

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.
