Chaac's Mighty Axe

Welcome to my first ever guide on SmiteFire.
I'm happy to introduce you to Chaac's Mighty Axe.

Ever since i started playing smite Chaac has been my to go with agressive solo laner. I'm not the best player yet (been lvl 30 for couple months now) so i wont add league content since i havn't played it yet.

Guide making is quite new to me, but i'll do my best to create a clear Chaac guide. I also have to say that I am from the Netherlands, my english wont be perfect. Feel free to correct me if needed (and it will).

Let me introduce Chaac:

If you haven't played Chaac before, here is some basic info:

- Chaac is a warrior with high damage poke and mobility.
- High sustain with Rain Dance ( his 3).
- Extreamly usefull kit with his damage, poke, sustain, slow and silence.

Overflow After hitting 5 succesful basic attacks your next abillity will cost no mana. This is KEY in Chaac his kit, it allows you to poke or heal for free. This passive makes his poke and sustain insane, you will never run out of mana. Feel free to spam your abillitys thanks to this amazing passive.


Thunder Strike This is your long range poke abillity with insane damage early to midgame. Thunder Strikeworks perfect with al your other abillities. It lets you dash to your ax location using Torrent and it applies the slow effect of Rain Dance. This abillity is very unique in the game with it's high poke damage and range. It's great to finishing off a kill or clearing the wave. This is the abillity we want to max out first.


Torrent Chaac spins with his mighty ax damaging everything around him. This abillity doesn't have the best damage stats and the protection it gives isn't a big deal. What makes this abillity important? Well you can dash to the location of your ax. You can use this to chase or escape through walls. Be careful on how to use this combo. The enemy will see your ax on the ground and know you will dash to this location. This abillity will be maxed out last.


Rain DanceAfter activating this abillity you will gain health and apply a 6 second slow surrounding yourself and the location of your axe. This wil give you the needed sustain (health regen) to bully people out of lane or help you and your team to escape.


Finally Chaac his ult Storm Call. This is what allows him to do what Chaac does best, slaughtering everyone with his ax after applying damage and a huge silence that will affect everyone around him. While in the air Chaac will be immune to CC. When he first uses Thunder Strike and then activates Storm Call when in range from his ax Storm Call will get more damage and apply a knock-up. This abillity will be leveled whenever you can.

Warriors are all about sustain and damage. In order to get the needed defencive stats you need and still do plenty of damage to carry your team you need the correct items. Warrior/solo lane is one of the harder lanes to carry games consistent. Correct item builds allow you to start the teamfights realy strong, especially with Chaac.

Starter active


This will help you take the early mana (blue) buff very fast. It also helps with clearing the waves and pushing your lane opponent.

I dont recommend you using a different first active then Hand of the Gods.

1st complete item

This item is very situational, there are 3 strong first items in my opinion.


You can get cwarrior tabi first, it gives some nice earlygame stats. Move speed, attack speed and some penetration. This could be a solid pick when playing an easy lane or when your opponent doesn't poke you. I like to get this against Vamana.


Hide of the Urchin is the item I rush 8/10 games. It gives very strong early defencive stats and these stats will keep improving, it gives +2 physical and magical protection with a total of 10 stacks. This wil give you 65 physical and magical protection in 1 item. This is probably one of the best items you can get on a warrior.


Stone of Gaia is the best item to rush when playing against a mage in almost every situation. It gives a lot of magical protection and health. The HP and MP regen on Stone of Gaia gives you so much basic regen this in combination with Rain Dance will allow you to take poke from these annoying solo lane mages.

2nd item

This one is the easiest of them all. If you started with Warrior Tabithen you should pick one of the defencive items above. If you started with Hide of the Urchin, you should get Warrior Tabi.

3th item


gin's sais is the damage item you wil get 9/10 times. It gives very solid stats and is one of the most important items on Chaac. It gives 25% attackspeed, this allows you to make more use of your passive. The passive on Qin's Sais is what makes this item so strong, the longer a game will continue the more you will make use of it's passive dealing more damage the more health your opponents have.

If needed you can build Hide of the Urchin or Stone of Gaia as 3th item if you need more defencive stats. I dont recommend you getting a 3th physical defencive item. This is because at this stage teamfights will begin to start, you are going to need a lot of magical protection to survive the fights.

4th item
At this point you are going to make a decission. Do i need to get more defencive or damage items.

What does your team need?

When you are losing i would suggest taking extra defencive items.
When you are winning you can go damage or defencive, depending on how you play.

Defencive items


Hide of the Nemean Lion gives tons of physical protection and some health. Hide of the Nemean Lion is a very strong pick against heavy basic attack teams thanks to it's passive.


Mystical Mail gives some nice basic defencive stats. It's passive is what makes this item good. Allowing you to do 40 magic damage every second to enemies within 25 units. When charging Storm Call you will do some extra damage. This is a defencive item I realy like thanks to it's passive.


Ancile provides some damage and decent magical protection. It's passive is what makes this item a viable choice. You will gain +0.5 damage and 0.25% CDR (cool down reduction) per stack. That is a total of 30 damage and 15% CDR. These are some realy strong stats when fully stacked when playing against a heavy magical team.


Witchblade is a very very good choice when playing against a heavy basic attack team, especially when you use it in combination with Hide of the Nemean Lion. It counters basic attack champions and gives you more move and attack speed + some physical protection.


Runeforged Hammer is very strong against a heavy physical damage team thanks to it's passive. It's a cheap item and gives some good basic stats.

Damage items


Jotunn's Wrath is rated as one of the best damage items for warriors with it's strong basic stats. I realy recommend this as your 4th item if you dont need defencive stats. What makes Jotunn's Wrath special is the passive that gives you 25% CDR witch can be huge in teamfights or other situations. Alowing you to heal more ofter and alows you to spam Thunder Strike.


Rage gives some nice damage and 30% critical strike chance. The passive on Rage allows for you to crit more often. Best crit chance item in the game.


Deathbringer gives you some solid damage and crit chance. The passive is what makes Deathbringer worth it's costs. It brings + 50% crit damage on every crit. This in combination with Rage will allow you to slaughter everyone.

Actives
What actives should you get? Not only items can change games actives can to !


Wrath of the Gods IS A MUST HAVE ! this allowes you to steal the fire giant and gold fury. You can do this because of the passive.


Fist of the Gods is a good active because of the stun, it gives your kit some more CC. I personally like Wrath of the Gods more. Fist of the Gods can be realy handy when chasing sameone in the jungle.


Combat Blink this is a very nice active to chase or surprise sameone. It gives you a lot of ganking potention to the midlane. You also can use Combat Blink to get in a teamfight and use ur combo to kill people !! Witch is realy fun to do.


Shielded Teleport is by far my most used second active in the game. I love the pressure it brings to the enemy team. You can teleport almost everywhere on the map if your team places wards so you can contest in teamfights. It allows you to splitpush realy hard and still being able to help in fights.

All in combo

You can use Combat Blink at the start of al those combos.

When playing Chaac early game is key to win your game. In the early game all you should focus on is farm, farm and farm. Ofcours you have to bully your opponent out of lane, in my opinion pushing them under the tower should be your focus. Why? This has 2 parts to it. 1, your opponent wil miss a lot of gold and xp. 2, you will start to do little bits of damage to the tower, and that is why my Chaac is al about TAKING OBJECTIVES.Around the 10minute mark you will be able to take your first tower (i have it around 8 mostly), if your jungler ganks your lane lets say around 6/8 minutes you can almost always take a free tower for it. This gives you a kill or assist, gold from the tower and it will help your team gain more gold and win their lanes.

Midgame is about farming, roaming and taking objectives. At this point i suggest you have teleportation tier 1 (or higher). You can always split push or pressure the enemy team. You can go and win those teamfights and take more objectives out of this. Try to contest all the gold fury and if you are winning hard try and get a fast fire giant.

Long story short, you won your lane help your team win their lane and get atleast al tier 1 towers + 1 or 2 gold fury.

Midgame, at this point chaac is at his strongest. He is almost unkillable and does tons of damage. He has one of the best scalings in the midagme. When teamfighting in the midgame pick their carry (magic or physical) and zone them out. With zoning out i mean KILL THEM ALL !! Win the teamfight an keep on doing what chaac does best. slaughtering people.

Lategame Chaac is realy strong, his burst isn't so insane compared to the midgame but he still does tons of damage.
He stil has good damage but this is not game changing compared to the mage or hunter.
At this point a well organized teamfight is needed to win the game.

When teamfighting zone out the biggest treat to your team. Get those big ults of and silence them all. Now go and kill people, your team should be able to do some good damage to. Every teamfight is different so keep practicing those. Teamfights in bronze are a lot different then those in gold or higher. Simply because bronze players dont know how to teamfight correctly and gold players do.

After winning a teamfight you have to make decissions. What do i do now? Take towers, gold fury or firegiant. I suggest you take the firegiant whenever you can and prioritise gold fury over towers unless you can win the game or push up to a FENIX.

What i realy like and enjoy to do is split pushing, this helps me win and carry games. Taking towers while your team is stalling/baiting the enemy somewhere. This requiers teamwork in order to win games. You will need wards and Shielded Teleport to split push correctly.

There are 3 different times when you can split push.
When split pushing keep in mind that you wont be in position to help your team. It can win or lose the game. I suggest you practice this in normale games before going in league and split push.

1. When your team is fighting.
You can decide to help them fight or push a lane. Why would you push a lane when your team is 1 man short in fights. The answer is very simple, you can get free towers/objectives. When you split push the enemy will send 1 or 2 enemies in order to stop you from split pushing. All of the sudden your team is fighting a 4vs4 or a 4vs3, while you were able to take a tower. This means a great gold adventage from 1 split push if everything goes your way.

2. When you team is pushing a lane.
Your team doesn't have to fight in order to split push. If your team is pushing left lane you can go split push mid or right lane. This will create the same situation as in point 1. You will split the enemy team while being able to take objectives get kills and overal more gold. The enemy always has to make a choice who is going to stop who from pushing. Mostly they send the wrong person to stop you and you can take a kill + tower making more room for pushing and fighting.

3. Split pushing when losing.
This one is the hardest of them all, if your team keeps losing teamfights with you in the team fight split pushing will be hard. You can only split push when your team is NOT fighting. If you still want to split push when losing because it can help you win the game or atleast gain some extra gold communicate this to your team. They have to know you will split and that they SHOULD NOT FIGHT. If they do you will lose the game at that point.

I hope you guys understand split pushing more and that it may help you win games.

If you start with Stone of Gaia Ra can't poke/force you out of lane. You can push harder and poke better, he will run out of mana where you can use Overflow to keep poking him. Easy match.


Vamana is a very easy warrior to play against. He doest have a good waveclear until lvl 6/7 or so. His sustain comes from his ult and doesn't heal much. You can be 100% agressive at lvl 2/3 on him. Very fun to play against.


Sun Wukong is a very easy matchup just like vamana, not much sustain and not a great waveclear. Bully him out of lane and take the first tower under 10mins.


He Bo is probably the easiest of them all. Start with Stone of Gaia and poke him out of lane. He Bo is a close combat mage with not much early game damage. Easy lane :)

Hercules will have more waveclear until lvl 4/5. He is a warrior with very strong stats, after lvl 6 you will be stronger until the late game. This matchup just depends on how good you are with Chaac


Nu Wais very strong overall, she has nice base stats and very strong skills. She has a lot of waveclear and lane pressure. Be sure to play this one safe and smart. Again it depends on your skill with chaac if you can win this or not.


Aphrodite is a 50/50 lane, she can heal just as good with a strong waveclear. Aphrodite won't kill you, killing her will be tough. This is basically a farm lane.

Chang'e is the only mage i have troubles dealing with. I almost never get the lane advantage. Play this one realy safe and focus on waveclear.

If you made it this far I want to thank you for reading my guide.

I hope you understand Chaac a little better, and that you will start dominating in conquest.
