Beauty of A Man : Ne Zha

Ne Zha is a new god in Smite and released at 17 April 2013. Hi-rez said, he is a carry and assassin which is a great combination. He can deliver a powerful blow but can be attacked easily also.

"Who is she?" All the Gods ask. I answered "That is Ne Zha, The Third Lotus Prince, he could kill you easily with his power! And remember, it's a he"

JUST REMEMBER 1 THING! DON'T DIE IN EARLY GAME!!! YOU WILL EASILY SHUT DOWN AFTER THAT

Abilities


- Sprint
When you nearly die, this is very useful for running away since you only have ulti to run away. This thing is also good for chasing enemies.

- Purification Beads
Being a bit squishy, crowd control is dangerous. Use this to run away

- Girdle of Might
An extra damage will help killing enemy.

-Shielded Recall
If you are ganked, this will really help you run away if you have enough health because you is still damaged. This is very useful for him since you are low mobility

Potions


- Heal Potion
It will really help to make you more sustain

- Mana Potion
You are pretty mana hungry, you need this to keep sustaining

You are the critical attack giver. After having most of the build, you will be able to deliver critical attack every time.

Solo lane
Fun to play when he is solo as assassin. You will be able to kill the minions easily with your critical damage. If enemy is already half health, you can kill them. Get near them and attack them using your 2. Before they reach their tower, chase with your 3. Still not dead? Use your ulti to finish them.

Duo Lane
Also good at duo lane especially his passive. He can make your teammate to keep sustaining even if your are dead as you will increase their health.

Just use your 2 to kill enemy as your teammate back you up. When enemy is low health, sneak behind them from jungle and stun them with your 3 as your teammate attack them or defend you from other god. Use your 2 after stunning and 4 to finish them.

Teammate
When you are assassin, your teammate should be tank or ranged.

Overall and Combo
At all the time, you need to remember one things. You are both a carry now. So, you are squishy.

Now to how to use your skill. For squishy enemy, you need to use your 1 to reduce enemy's health. After you think it is enough, use your 2 and 3 to get near enemy and do critical strike. Squishy enemy should have low health after you do this. Keep running. Use sprint if you have. After that, finish them with your ulti.

For tank, use your 2 to reduce their health. When they run away, use your 3 and then one. Keep attacking and then use your ulti.


Solo lane
Pretty good since you have 1 to farm enemy, You should do your 1 to each wave of enemy to farm. Keep mana potions as much as possible to keep you sustaining and equal with enemy's god (especially high sustain god). Just keep watch out if enemy in other lane is missing.

Duo Lane
I like this better. As you are not so sustain, you need to frequently return to base.

Use your 1 to help reduce enemy's health. When enemy run away, chase them with your third while your teammate will use their ulti when enemy is stunned. Then, finish that enemy with your ulti.

Also, if you die, you are helpful to your teammate as they gain health and protection.

- Teammate
When you are carry, your teammate should be bruiser or mage

Ne Zha is a good assassin with high critical chance if he use his 2. He is also more stronger than other assassin in defense. But, keep mana potion as you are not so sustain.
