Notes I like from behind. is very useful when your team is consistently getting kills.

I always get Beads on Amaterasu as itemization right now has her being a little more on the squishy side.

Heroic Teleport

Persistent Teleport

Temporal Beads

Alternative Items

Notes can be swapped in for extra defense if the hunters are critting too much.

I like for versing physical's choosing . With Amaterasu's full build and stim you still get near max attack speed. It also helps make her tankier since she is pretty squishy.

can be argued as better for your team since it gives everyone 30% attack speed in an aura, and Amaterasu is a team fight god.

Introduction

Hello, I am BrutalBelly! I've been playing Smite for a few years now and am a Warrior enthusiast. I've been Masters in Duel and Conquest over this time as well. Even hitting GM in both, Duel Season 8 and Conquest current season. Over this time we've seen shifts to items and core builds. I saw a lot of the current builds being presented and wanted to show what I've been running in my games.

Amaterasu's Abilities

Passive -
Always get 3 successive hits or more to activate. This really helps shred objectives.

Ability 1 -
Use movement for helping your team catch up, power for in combination with objectives.

Be aware of your surroundings when you are low. This is a heal, but sometimes it is better to just stay in Benevolence aura (movement speed) so that you can escape.

Ability 2 -
Your main wave clear, combine with your passive to effectively clear wave.

This is your big confirm. This will help you confirm buffs against the opposition (silver/blue).

Ability 3 -
This is a silence but be careful of aggressive dashing.

Make sure you are fully clear of the enemy if you are trying to run away with this as you can be corner blocked.

Ultimate -
This is a great way to burn beads/set up your team.

You must hit successive hits for the stun.

You can have your 2 activated while using this to confirm a free burst of damage when using the ult.

How to play: Early Game

How To Play: Early Game

The solo lane start: You go to blue buff, dragging to the xp camp where your mid laner will pull speed camp. When you get the best angle on all the camps, use your 2 to aid in clearing. You also want to hit 3 autos on one of the camps first as this puts your passive on it (Increases damage in an aura).
Your mid laner will be assisting you in killing all these camps, try not to absorb too much damage that you are instantly killable in lane, but don't let your mid laner take that much damage as well (I usually pop my first health potion here). Don't forget to grab the blue buff, you don't want speed as you will run out of mana.
In lane you have 3 main objectives: Clearing wave as safely as possible is always #1 priority. The next two are important, but not as important as getting wave. I put getting totem over cooldown camp (early) because the mp5 given from totem globally has more impact than just getting a cooldown advantage/slight gold and xp lead.

Yellow circle is you; blue circle is your mid laner.

How to play: Mid Game

How To Play: Mid Game

This is realistically where you will be the most successful. Due to the nature of solo, you actually at this point should have a 1 ish level lead over everyone else on the map. If you can make it to the first beacon fight of 12 minutes, I would highly encourage you to do so. The solo laner rotating to this fight while the other stays in lane can lead to not only beacon, but also potentially kills and a gold fury.
Around this time, most gods should have 2+ items completed. Your two items and higher base damage should help significantly chunk the opposition. You should be able to severely threaten the backline at this stage.
With most hybrid items either being completely stripped of power or removed, warriors are left to rely on higher base dmg, and team play to get them through.
Amaterasu is a solo laner who should stay on objective as she helps shred it with her passive and power aura.

How to play: Early Late Game

How To Play: Early Late Game

This is realistically where the damage classes take over. 4-5 item hunters, assassins and mages will start hitting you very hard, very quickly. This is where it becomes imperative to play with your team.
Depending on how the game has been going at this point you have two options of playstyle, you can try to dive with your jungle to disrupt the back line. If you can take out their backline with your jungle or even just get one it makes the game harder for them.
Your damage at this point is much smaller than what the enemy can output, you are mostly hoping your jungle takes care of his target/burns your target with you. 1v1s at this point typically go towards the carry if that is who is burning you, you still have decent fight into mages at this point.
Without an ADC, taking objectives and structures becomes more troublesome. Without a Mage, securing objectives is much more difficult.
The other playstyle is more of a support role towards your damage dealers, trying to set up stuns so they can get their combos off, using your 1's aura to increase their damage/movement speed for chasing, forcing relics on carries, attempting to peel for them if they get in trouble and the support can't get to them, etc.
Amaterasu is very good at aiding her team in burning objectives. Her passive on it plus power aura really allows for great shred.
Objectives are the priority at this point. At least one Pyromancer should have been completed by now (save the bombs for birds if possible), another Gold Fury as well and right around 23ish minutes the Titans will be preparing to meet in lane. Titan surge is typically what forces the first fire giant fight, especially if it is on the other side of the map (duo lane).
This Fire Giant is usually what helps wipe away most structures and helps expand a gold lead. If done right this can be game over, so be wary of that.

How to play: Late Game

How To Play: Late Game

Your goal right now is to play as a team, there is no more solo play. Getting picked can and will cost your team the game at this time.
By now, most structures are gone around the map. The only thing left really is finding the game ending window. I have seen games end because players get caught at Gold Fury, so try to not let that be your team.
Most games typically end by getting a pick around Fire Giant, getting Enhanced Fire Giant (Fire Giant evolves after 30 minutes). Taking as many birds as possible, then killing Titan as fast as possible. Sometimes games can be ended with as little as 1 bird down, most of the time the safest option is to take 2/3 birds and pinch in with enhanced minions pushing.
If you are losing at this point, your whole game plan is keeping them away from your Titan and trying to stall. Sometimes killing 1 when they have Enhanced Fire Giant is enough to stall a push for at least a minute plus (as long as you are all healthy).
When they siege you have your fountain to run back and forth to if you need healing, they are typically only being healed from EFG passive and whatever HP5/life steal they have. Waiting out a siege and letting them come to you does give you a chance to come up with a plan. Another thing I like to do is if their mage is consistently clearing wave with their main damage you can communicate it to your team to exploit and try a fight off that.
Remember though, if they do have EFG they are in a much better position to kill you, so be careful of any engagements you and your team takes.
The game is usually won before 2nd titan surge, but there is that as well to look out for in back and forth games/games where the siege defense is really strong. Pushing with the titan, EFG, and some enhanced minion waves should be game over in 99% of scenarios.

Ward Positions: Through The Game

Ward Positions Through the Game

As a solo laner you actually get the freedom to pick up the best mobility relic in the game. Teleport whether you upgrade it to or is up to you. This relic allows you to TP to any structure on your side or any ward placed by your team (When upgraded).

The first two wards you should prioritize are these. This mostly takes care of any jungles possible gank path to you. Be wary of gods that can jump over thick walls/globals like or . Be wary of gods who have invisibility that can activate it and get past your ward before it expires like , , .

As the game goes, where you ward may change depending on what your team already has vision on. The deeper wards help with zoning and collapsing on overstepping opponents while also allowing your team to prepare to secure the objective/get off it and fight (or run).

At the end game stage, just about every pathway should be warded, vision is what controls a lot of the game. Getting wards in the blind spots behind the gates can also help mages get a chunky opening shot that your jungle can collapse on.

Keep in mind, as a solo laner you can take a good chunk of damage and if you have / up + your team has wards out you can be right back within 10 seconds.
