This is a hybrid build I have really been enjoying using, her protection comes from being extremely fast, so if dived, you can quickly Kiss and get away pretty quickly, the build also has a decent damage output with some healing too, this is quite a safe build to use, it isn't the strongest she can be but it does cover all of your bases.
These optionals are relatively solid choices, void stone for obvious reasons, very useful in mid-late game when you're team fighting, spear is a good offensive option too. Rod is a potential substitute for soul gem but honestly soul gem has been working much better for me personally with the additional spike and team heals it provides (it will proc very quickly with aphro), Divine ruin, if you're needing anti heal, but it's better for another god to get the antiheal (depends how bad your team are) and the jade emperor crown is there just in case you're getting really pounded by the solo laner
Your relics are selfish, because if you get caught, you're gonna die, teleport glyph is still a good option though depending what you're coming up against, beads are a 100% must have though

Chang'e can just completely nullify your poke with her self heal and poke you back just as hard, you will struggle facing a Chang'e in laning without early ganks to get ahead.

He has built in antiheal... he will not out wave clear you but he can poke you out the lane and dominate it from very early on an you won't get it back

With the upcoming patch... Mulan is just going to ruin your day, potentially the majority of solo laners would struggle against her with how she is looking to shape up post patch

Has better poke and can chase you down very quickly with her disapparate

If you're midlaning, chances are you're going to carry most of the magical DPS, you will need strong poke to control the lane with your healing and stuns, honestly, this is just really fun to basically 1 shot combo 1-3-2 squishy targets, your only safety here is being fast, getting in and getting out, if you miss an ability, you're probably going to melt
Beads are a must have, choose either aegis or wings dependant on the situation (aegis if they have high burst, wings if they have strong chase options)

He's just much stronger right now, not much I can say about that, he's going to make your life hell
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 96 [display_name] => Baron Samedi [url] => baron-samedi ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => He's just much stronger right now, not much I can say about that, he's going to make your life hell ) 1
Raijin can pretty much outpoke most mid lane gods and his escape is very strong, aphro isn't the strongest mid lane pick and will have trouble landing her combo on a well positioned raijin early game until she is much faster
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 73 [display_name] => Raijin [url] => raijin ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Raijin can pretty much outpoke most mid lane gods and his escape is very strong, aphro isn't the strongest mid lane pick and will have trouble landing her combo on a well positioned raijin early game until she is much faster ) 1
Quite an even matchup, I accidentally put it in and it's just not letting me remove it
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 65 [display_name] => Ah Puch [url] => ah-puch ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Quite an even matchup, I accidentally put it in and it's just not letting me remove it ) 1
She's a healer, so build her like one. This is going to output a huge amount of heals, she has some good mobility with rod, soul gem adds some nice additional healing and pythagorems helps team sustain, can be swapped out for doom orb if you're feeling you need more mobility but the staff should provide you with enough so long as you position well.
Stone of binding is a really underrated item for aphro, your stun to reduce protections on enemy gods for a quick and easy kill, gives survivability in some mag/phys protections is useful, still a situational item though

Again, anti heal built into his kit, shuts you down

Arguably a bad matchup, his CC's alone will get you killed by the ADC early game, you don't have boots to escape as soon as sylvanus, so it makes you a target for a pull & spike or even a pull under tower
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 58 [display_name] => Sylvanus [url] => sylvanus ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Arguably a bad matchup, his CC's alone will get you killed by the ADC early game, you don't have boots to escape as soon as sylvanus, so it makes you a target for a pull & spike or even a pull under tower ) 1
Aphrodite is a very flexible hero that can perform well in any of the solo/mid/support roles, one of the reasons that she is quite possibly one of my favourite gods to use.
In the solo lane you have incredible poke and wave clear, which can help you make sure to get totem the majority of the time and push your lane quite effectively, though she can sometimes struggle in this role more than the others due to the match ups you're likely to get in season 7.
The midlane's probably my least favourite place to play her, but she can work very well here, she's just not as good a pick as say... Hel for example.
The support role is where she shines brightest (obviously), she can build very well into a strong hybrid character, with good healing, damage (mostly her spike with back off combined with the ADC damage) to support the ADC early game and team fights later on.
I'm mainly posting the builds, i've put in some threats to consider but there's quite a large counter pick pool for aphro at the moment. I'm not a 'pro' smite player, and i'm not really used to creating builds, I just really enjoy aphro and these builds/variants have been pretty good for me, do let me know if I have missed out an item that you think is a good one to use for her
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.
