Hello, everyone. Here it is another guide created by Dark Jaw. This time is time for the Egyptian God 
Anubis! Anubis is a heavy Magical damage mage, very reliant of his combo. He is also one of my few favorite gods of the game that I'm making guides about! With the recent buffs, Anubis goes well with Magical Lifesteal, which many people found useless. Not on Anubis, though! Hope you guys enjoy this guide as well as my others.
Remember: NEVER FOLLOW A GUIDE COMPLETELY! BUILDS ARE SITUATIONAL!

Many people consider ''Anoobis'' the worst god on the game. Of course he is on bad hands, you shouldn't blame Anubis like that! He is a face melter, pubstomper with a jackal head. You need to know what you're doing when playing Anubis, or else you'll be casted to the Underworld.
Anubis is similar to Pudge from Dota 2, or Malzahar from League of Legends. Both are very combo realiant, are Pubstompers and can screw up a game if they don't know what they're doing.
With this guide, you'll take all your doubts about Anubis! Not about Pudge or Malzahar, though.
Pros!
[*] TONS of Damage. If not one of the highest AP damage mages.
[*] Amazing Passive. 
Sorrow.
[*] Lots of sustain if built Lifesteal.
[*] Anubis is one of the most well-known Egyptian gods, also he has a jackal head.
[*] Pubstomper.
[*] Hard CC. Mummify.
Cons!
[*] Very squishy.
[*] No Escapes.
[*] Combo reliant.
[*] 2 Abilities roots Anubis.
[*] No Escapes. Again.

SUMMARY Anubis is an amazing mage, with low mobility but one of the highest AP Damage of the game. His Plague of Locusts is an damage per tick ability in a cone, Mummify is his stun, Grasping Hands his ground target ability that does damage and slows, and his Ultimate, Death Gaze is a big and hard-hitting ability, reccquired a stun to go well. Only recommended to experienced players!
|
He Bo. Then BAM, you combo him and casts Plague of Locusts, then He Bo will probably use his 
Waterspout, lolnope, you'll only receive the damage. That's why you upgrate that secondly.
Mummify! As you know, it's a projectile, hard to use. But if you land it, it's probably a kill! The stun is nice, that does no damage. Also, you'll rape faces already with the items you'll buy, so a short stun is enough. That's why you upgrate it last.
Anubis! The most damaging one after your Ultimate, Death Gaze. It gives tons of damage and also slows foes on it. You can use it before your Mummify, if you've problems on hitting it. That's why you upgrate it first!
Death Gaze is an amazing ability. Upgrade it when possible.
Anubis. It gives you awesome amounts of Magical Lifesteal and gives you heavy magical power. Anubis has being transformed into an item!
Anubis ability is a ticking ability. This synergies well with Anubis, penetrating a lot. You can get 
Obsidian Shard instead if you'd like, but not recommended.
Rod of Tahuti, but you need heavy AP damage. Also you'll have gold enough to buy it, you'll be probably getting souls around.
Poseidon or maybe 
Zeus, but look who's the new owner of that Green Book: Anubis! With the recent updates, Magical Lifesteal became extremely viable on Anubis, also it gives your next basic attack a tremendous amount of extra AP damage, Magical lifesteal and Magical Power.
Anubis needs.
Anubis didn't receive his buff, then this item wouldn't be on situationals. Well, get this if you're having trouble against the enemies' Mages( AKA Poseidon, the guy that counters you... and every other mage).
Apollo appeared! Get this if you're having problems with AD Gods( Specially against fed ADCs, Fed 
Anhur and Apollo are terrible problems).
Mummify the enemy when the passive of Soul Reaver is up. I think the passive affects Mummify, more studies are needed to proof that.
Anubis, so get this if you're REALLY confident of what you're doing. If you manage to get all those stacks and not die, you'll faceroll all game.
Ao Kuang. Well, it gives you tons of mana to cast your spells. 50 Stacks. Be careful: Expensive item! That's why you'll waste all your mid game trying to get this.
Anubis? GET THIS OR ELSE! As you have NO ESCAPE abilities, this Active increases your survivability.
Release The Kraken! and Spirit's Tempest.
Thor, 
Ymir, 
Eset, 
Sobek and Anhur). Aside from that, get 
Aegis Amulet instead.

. Death Gaze, is down, then skip to Plague of Locusts.

--->
. Anubis?! Just kidding. This is the combination if you usually miss your Mummify. Skip to Plague of Locusts as well if your ultimate is down. Mummify! Then do Grasping Hands and Death Gaze or Plague of Locusts.
Grasping the Early Game.
Anubis, during the early game, shall play passive, as his abilities are still weak. Nothing much to say about that game phase, try to farm a lot and to avoid deaths. When you hit Level 5, you'll be able to melt down your enemies.
Mummifying the Mid Game.
Plaguing the Late Game.
Grasping Hands and Plague of Locusts). Try to get behind you tank, and please, position yourself well. As not only you, but the enemies' carries will be powerful as well, unless you've been fed.
Anubis, gods that usually lane well if Anubis is not on Mid Lane.
No Escape, that forces the enemies' to buy 
Purification Beads and Aegis Amulet to counter is way amazing. Specially to get a double kill during the early game, as they'll be surprised to lane against Anubis and 
Ares! Although both are magical, that combination is way deadly.
Sobek and Anubis, as brothers, synergies extremely well. But a lot of communication is needed between those two: If Sobek 
Charge Prey and Anubis hits his Mummify, the Sobek SHALL NOT 
Tail Whip the enemy. This will make things worse! Tail Whip it AFTER the Stun of Mummify. Both are magical, though.
Ymir has a wall, a slow, a big AoE ultimate and his infamous Freeze. With Ymir, you won't need to use your Mummify, saving it to your next prey. Both are magical, and both have bad initiation, specially if Ymir doesn't buy Blink.
Thor is a heavy CC Bruiser, that goes extremely well with Anubis. Once, long ago, Thor used to not have Teleports, only his Ultimate. He was a Bruiserish Anubis. Now, times has changed, and Thor has 2 stuns and 2 escapes. But be careful: Thor is squishy if built not correctly, so a lot of communication is needed in here. High damage, but squishies.
Athena, is an enemy to be feared and respected. Athena is known by her 
Confound and 
Defender of Olympus abilities, that, when laning with Anubis, becomes a death trap. Confound the enemies, they'll have NO WAY to escape from your Mummify. Confound can be also used to save Anubis from bad situations. Defender of Olympus is useful when Anubis is in danger.
Mummify + Grasping Hands him down. Well, if he is a smarty-pants, then you're screwed.
Poseidon is similar to you: An ground target AoE damaging ability( 
Whirlpool), an Projectile( 
Tidal Surge and a Deadly Ultimate( Release The Kraken!). Although Poseidon has an advantage: SPEEEEEED BUFFZ. You'll have some hard time to Mummify that fishie down.
Poseidon was similar to you, check it out: It's He Bo! That guy is almost exactly like you: Both are godamn squishies and are Magical Assassins. Be careful with that guy! You counter his Waterspout with your Plague of Locusts, tho! But he has an counter for that: 
Crushing Wave, as you'll be rooted. It will hurt a lot, be aware.
Chronos Reveal video, he is doing exactly what is going to happen: You'll combo him, waste all your abilities, almost kill him, then he'll 
Rewind, restore all his HP and kill you. Call ganks ALWAYS when possible.Thanks for reading my guide. Hope you enjoyed it. :>

Awesome job. Thx ;)
Wait, wait, WTF. This guide is old as hell. Why do you find it good? I'm working on updating it.
Regarding Build 2:
even dough Doom Orb is good starting item on many mages I wouldn't recommend it on Anubis. I would rather go for Sash and Book and instead of Doom I would go with Gem of Isolation. Anubis's #3 provides 25% slow and with Gem that is extra 25% slow. Otherwise, I like the build.
There could be made slight change. Bancroft's talon is good on Anubis especially if bought early on. Since this is snowball build, priority take Sash and Book. Book on rank 3 provide nice passive 3% of mana is converted to magical power. So I would rather put Pythagorem's Piece. This item has 15% life steal and has +300 mana. Lifesteal stacks better with Anubis's passive while extra mana works good with Book of Thoth.
I'll make some tests and edit that reply as soon as possible.
What's your opinion for Jungle Anubis? :D
Anubis in the Jungle is something VERY interesting. Good at ganking and cleaning the camps; the problem is that he is reliant on the cooldowns. Only should clean the camps when your 3 and 1 are up. It's also player dependant, the player MUSNT miss his 2, or else he is doomed when ganking.
I plan to add an Jungle guide soon. I tried it once, and won. It's hard to convince people to go jungle anubis.

Nice guide bro! Btw, have you ever considered anubis jungling? I tried it and it works decently well. Also, I find vamana is a big counter. He can burst you down fairly easily and his ult in the right hands can stop your burst working. But yeah, good job on that guide.
I tried to jungle. Failed so hard. I'm better at Mid laning and side-laning as Anubis. May be soon enough I shall try jungle again. The problem with Jungle Anubis is that he can clear a camp fast, but he needs to wait his 1 + 3 to be up to do so. Or else he is screwed. Specially early if he doesn't gets help.
It's a shame that it will be so hard for this guide to see the light, as most will likely flock to the top-rate Anubis guide. I think both yours and the second rated Anubis guide deserve much more credit as they both carry so much more information. It seems many of the original guides are subpar compared to newer releases, but it's very difficult to usurp their positions because of how long they've been there.
I would just like to say that all of your guides are detailed and I hope you continue to publish them.
I know right. Some guides should be deleted when they get too much out dated. Tons of guides on SmiteFire are out dated, and some are only builds.
Thank you! I was thinking about to publish an Ao Kuang guide. I guess it's time to unarchive it.

Speaking of counters, I admit He Bo is annoying as hell. Those low cooldowns on his skills kills Anubis. But Poseidon and Agni rarely seems to be a threat really, Anubis' damage is higher and just owns them both. Unless you aren't at full health (which I am most of the time, lifesteal and picking your fights is a winner), then the Kraken mostly takes you down. Agni is just annoying because of the dash, so always let it be used first, which can be done with good positioning.
I hate Fenrir when I'm playing Anubis. That dog never gets killed by my abilities, and he seems to kill me everytime.
I have experienced laning with Arachne is awesome (I've done this a lot with a friend of mine, so yes, communication on Skype or the like really does the trick). That pull she does is a sure kill everytime, as long as you are aware of when to use your abilities. Arachnes slow seems to scare a lot of people, which is good, and her poison takes your enemy down with that DoT that Anubis doesn't have.
I love your guides your fenrir one has really helped me out could you please do one on freya im trying to learn her and after my "dark jaw induced" succes i fiqure you'd probably help me with her if not oh well . :)
Haha, thanks. I'll consider your request, about
