Sorry for the confusion. Making a kind of A-Z builds (Any mode expect for conquest) for all the gods for some of my friends. They are all not going to be great since it's for almost all the gods in the game and I don't heavily main these roles (More of a god pool type of guy not "Main Role/Gods"). I will edit all current and coming up builds to note it is not recommended for conquest but if so then I'll specify a role.

One consideration when making your builds, don't commit so heavily into lifesteal. You've got 3 items...at max, you should probably only have 2, and even then it depends. Polynomicon is less for the lifesteal and more for the burst damage after ability use, while Spear of the Magus is a team-based lifesteal option (due to the damage increase for anyone attacking your target). Bancroft's Claw can be paired with Typhon's Fang, but for Ao, I'd probably choose Nimble over Claw. I would definitely not have Poly + Bancroft + Magus in the same build.

Warlock's Staff is usually more for gods in Mid, people that need to box some due to their kit, but Ao is more of an assassin, get in, deal damage, get out. Not sure why you're choosing Warlock here.

I guess in a way there's some synergy though. You have 30% pen via Magus, Warlock and Tahuti. You've got burst damage function from Poly, Archmage, and Claw. It's just not how I would probably play him, esp not in a non-Conquest role. Definitely important to identify the mode / role you intend for your builds though, and info on how you suggest playing for the build would be good to see the strats behind the concept.

For the Rings build, same concept probably on lifesteal. If you're going Bancroft, you probably don't need Telk. Choose one or the other. Depending on how things go, you also might skip over Hastened though I see the appeal. You might instead get a higher power item either for Telk or Hastened, as he really doesn't need that much AS probably. You could also sell Manikin late-game as it's not all that great of an item.

I would personally just completely delete that Heals build. No offense but it's pretty awful.

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.
