Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any ally may use. The portal may be entered from either side, but closes after 1 use.

If placed on the ground, enemies and Janus will fall into the portal, being teleported into the air above it. Enemies take damage upon landing, and are considered banished during the fall.

Ur overcapping % pen, Janus gets 20% from his ult at max rank.

Suggested build:

Focus > Pendant > Deso > Divine > Reaver > Tahuti/Estaff

Pendulum > Doom Orb > Deso > Divine > Reaver > Tahuti/Estaff

Your starting build notes say to get Wing Shard, but your build shows Horn Shard.

Also, if you do plan to take this build into Conquest as you state in the notes, you should be building a Starter Item.

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.
