this is my current support 
Cerberus build, and im open to suggestions, looking to help as many people as possible get to know this dynamic and powerful god.
ill go through my reasons for item choices, battle strategies and tactics, skill progression. i do quite well with Cerberus and i plan to main him. here goes!
pro's
here ill list the items ive used in my build and why:
Guardian's Blessing this starter item is great for the support role in season 5. its awesome. it encapsulates everything you need as a support to the team.
firstly it gives you those much needed early protections and it replenishes your health and mana on minion assists. no brainer buy this with Meditation Cloak for even longer sustain. once you can get this baby to evolve you get an additional ability being 4 bonus gold every 5 seconds. after pushing a lane for a minute this adds up to a nice shiny new item off this list when you can go back to the fountain.
Shoes of Focus i go with the shoes of focus for the cooldown reduction. cerberus in my opinion benefits more from a reduced cooldown time than the penetration he would have gained otherwise buying 
Shoes of the Magi but Reinforced Shoes are optional if you feel you need the extra protections to avoid feeding the enemy ADC.build this immediately.
Stone of Binding this bad boy is next. and MAN did this thing make a difference when i added it to my build. here is why i love it, 1. it gives me both phys and magical protections early in the game when i need it most, and it couples with a nasty buff for my ADC, they get a +10 penetration buff whenever you land a CC on any enemy god. thats anytime you slow with Ghastly Breath and anytime you hit with all four parts of Paralyzing Spit you should use this item to drive your enemies into the fountain by letting your ADC get those precious kills. this item gets even better in late game team fights.
Void Stone this item is what you should build next as it shreds through enemy protections stacking with the protection shred from Ghastly Breath double whammy leaving your enemies wide open for your teammates to swoop in for those kills.
see where were goin here? your job with this build is to be as annoying as possible and keep your enemies slowed, stunned and weakened and your allies buffed for the kill.
Gem of Isolation this one is one of my personal favorites because it adds another nasty effect to your damaging abilities which hint hint its all of em.
this gem makes your slows even slower, and your enemies even weaker, now your Ghastly Breath slows, shreds, and damages the unfortunate souls caught in your nasty dog breath.at maximum level this ability slows by 37% which is staggering. just laugh as your enemies are cut down where they stand.
Spirit Robe this item is the fifth you should build and if you haven't sold the guardians blessing by now you need to sell it. you should sell the blessing around level 10 to fuel yourself into better gear to keep the onslaught churning. this item provides 15% damage mitigation whenever your hit with a hard CC, that means even tankier you shall be your job is to be un-killable. this will help.
the last item you buy should be chosen carefully. if you need protections, then you should build either Hide of the Nemean Lion for phys enemies, or Pestilence i like 
Heartward Amulet for circumstances where there are many magical gods on the enemy team. think team-fights people. otherwise my main go to choice to wrap up the build is Breastplate of Valor to top off my CDR% at 40% reduction, at the late game Cerberus should look like a nasty breathed Mexican jumping bean that sows wanton destruction in every lane.
relics are a bit up to user preferance but i usually start with
meditation cloak
and as i level i grab up the Sundering Spear i can poke a god with an upgraded spear and they take even more damage for the next few moments. great way to take down the enemy tank.

Spirit of Death is the perfect ability for anti healers, great against 
Hel 
Eset 
Aphrodite this runs passive Paralyzing Spit this is your 1. i like to use this as a poke and stun. level this after Ghastly Breath.ghastly breath takes the first point but after that this should be your priority in leveling. this deals high damage and has a MONSTER 2s stun plenty of time for an ally to swoop in for the kill. also the stun if carefully aimed, can stop a pursuer in his tracks and deny the enemy a kill and save your life at the same time Ghastly Breath this is your first ability at level 1, it provides protection shred for your ADC, and a slow to make things more difficult for your enemies. other guides will argue that Paralyzing Spit should have the first point, but i find that when played conservatively, neither ability should be used for much until the enemy gets too close and needs to be cut down. i use Ghastly Breath to punish enemy gods that come too close to my teammates. this can be used in chases, it can be used to create an opportunity for you to escape. Soul Expulsion this ability is best used in my opinion, for the first half of the game defensively, by using it as a last minute escape. level this last. it can be used late game for some great sustain. hop on some enemies and kill the souls for some heals, if your creative you can stack some cool effects from items based on that ability shield of regrowth is cool. but only should be purchased if you don't NEED any of the other items in the build, be careful tweaking. Stygian Torment this is a beautiful ability, that has so much utility, its the supports best tool. Stygian Torment and throw the enemy far away from the objective. follow this up with Ghastly Breath to make sure they dont make it back to the objective. use this to gather up a group of enemies and when they scatter you can pick off the weakest one by one with your various abilities. its perfect for creating frustration and confusion within enemy ranks.
gameplay with cerberus is fun and can be extremely rewarding, he is one of the most dynamic gods available, and the support job role welcomes him open arms
down to business. this build and game play style works universally. exept for the solo role. i don't have that figured out yet. no doubt possible. but this is a guide for support, in conquest, joust, and arena. this build will also work exceptionally well in assault. being that its designed for elongated lane time.
early game::
cerberus is fragile earlygame, i cannot stress this enough. it is smart to Ward early and aggressively, make sure you understand where your enemies are.
after clearing one or two waves on minions grab up the purple and red buffs with your ADC partner and run back to the lane to continue to dominate, if you find yourself low on health, pop a drink from your re-fillable 
Chalice of Healing and keep on going. allow your ADC several trips back to the fountain before going back. save up your gold a little longer until you can either buy an item outright, or get tier 2 of a new one.
this mentality will help you stay in the enemies face longer
your {{guardians blessing]] rewards minion assists, so run up and bite everybody and let the minions and the ADC take care of the rest, focus on enemy god positions to keep the ADC alive the longest.
Ward aggressively around middle lane to provide the midlaner some relief from the enemy jungler. rotate and gank between all 3 lanes, but keep an eye on your home lane. as the enemy will have noticed you rotating by now, and will attack the now empty lane.|

then
to hit em for a little health and set up some sustain then
to shred protections and slow the enemy then
to lay on an insane chunk of damage and stun the enemy if aimed properly.
as an opening move followed by
which slows and shreds protectiding into a
to stun them in place and weaken them further or kill them,after the third ability you have
which can either finish off the enemy god, or you can use it to flee and create distance to let your cooldowns time out for the next sweep Soul Expulsion available to jump out of an enemies ultimate like 
Ring of Spears or get out of the way from 
Thanatos or 
Kukulkan
cerberus is a great team player as he can be filled with great sustain, and awesome teamfight abilities, and he is excellent at keeping teammates alive. use your ultimate wisely to cooperate with other gods targeted ults. you can set up quite a few awesome kills this way.
for example you can Stygian Torment throw a whole group of enemies into 
Odin's Ring of Spears giving him an opportunity to fill his buffs.
you can use the same Stygian Torment to grab up an enemy jungler and throw them off your ally. be sure to always follow this tactic with Ghastly Breath to ensure they cant follow or jump past you to secure the kill anyways.
as long as you focus on capitalizing on enemy mistakes and keeping ally's alive. this god will do you no wrong.
