Chapter Title

Hello this is my first "guide". I am still a newbie of the game with almost 300-400 hours.Sol is one of my favorite god and i am currently trying those different builds on her.
Have one defensive item is always,i often pick Mantle of Discord cause it give 60 def on both +10% cooldown that is good cause u want spam your skill.
Usuaally i not pick 2 ring's,but have some extra movement speed is a good thing.Still not know what build would be better, if with Soul Reaver or not. Chronos' Pendant is almost an easy pick if u want go full damage with no defence.
Sorry my bad english but i am italian.

There is no reason to get Mantle of Discord at third item. You're also building Demonic Grip way too late.

My alteration to current build: , , , , , .

Is actually useful in an AA build? I'd personally skip it unless I was going for a burst instead of one that focuses on her basic attacks.

this is why is called hybrid.i bought the mantle as third sometime were i need protection early cause the book give me the necessary burst.and sol is not based on AA,she can do both,i use demonic only when i need some extra movement,otherwise i stick for some pen if needed

Sol IS based on AA, you clearly never read what her passive does. She has 1 ranged poke ability outside of the ult. And with Sol not being the best user of Soul Reaver and with Ethereal staff having a new passive since it’s last iteration and since the buffs to Demonic/Telkhines AA-based Sol has been the most effective way to go.

i well know her passive..and still sol can do both

(143) |

Most of Sol's main ability damage is tied to her 2, and her 4, unless you have an assassin on you then you can factor the 1 and 3 seldom. But for the most part it's her 2. What does this benefit from? Heavy burst procs.

https://www.smitegame.com/news/5-13-mid-season-update-notes

This was the patch where Sol burst became less relevant. Soul Reaver lost it's true damage burst proc, and became the current version with have now, that benefits from constant ability usage and (with high pen items like Spear of the Magus which makes it very potent early game, on gods like , etc...). Then we look at Ethereal Staff, this item was kinda like the current Soul Reaver, which is okay-ish on Sol, but now? It hardly provides much for burst. So before mid season, Sol could build into Soul Reaver and Ethereal Staff, quite nicely, pair this with Chronos' Pendant, Soul Gem (which was initially stronger when the item released, got nerfed a bit), Pen boots and Divine or Tahuti. But this build style has lost it's effectiveness, especially in regards to , and with being a less stonger pick on .

Take a look here: https://smiteprobuilds.com/Builds?p_filters_page=1&p_filters_search=&p_filters_god=2074&p_filters_pro=~&p_filters_opponent=~&p_filters_role=~&p_filters_league=SPL&p_filters_sort=~

All the cases of pros building Sol somewhat ability based was mostly pre-mid season (bottom of page 1, page 2), and when her passive was stronger. Since then, Demonic and especially Telkhines have been built very often on her since they're buffs, and Demonic was already built before in a lot of cases.

You are building Sol in not only in a lesser effective form, but not well either. Your second build has no percentage pen at all, making it flat out bad.

Now if you really want to build Sol ability based I suggest the following builds:

1. , (or ), , , , . This is the build has Wlfy used on Sol in some SPL matches since the Book of Thoth buff from post mid-season 5 patch.

2. , , , , , /.

3. (Hybrid): , , , , (or ), .

Now covering AA-builds, this one is typically the best: , , , (or if anti-heal is not needed get Deso or Tahuti lategame), , .

Situational/Alternative items: (you do not need this item every game), , , (only if building Thoth and Book of the Dead in a build), , (heavily countered by anti-heal), .

Build Start: , , 2 x health and 2 x mana pots.

For Arena you can rush tier 2 bancrofts.

Also your levelling order isn't ideal in most cases. For the first 5 levels it should be: 2 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4. Only if you're in danger of getting ganked/chased would you take the 3 at level 3.

As for maxing priority it's: 4 > 2 > 1 > 3.

I'm not all that familiar with so I found this helpful as well.

Excellent write-up.

Agreed, great explanations to back up your build suggestions.

Remember that it is functional for pretty much since her rework, and that was while also building Demonic, Telk, etc.

Freya also has built in sustain from her passive, and struggled a bit with mana on the initial re-work, which has been toned down a bit since then. We haven’t seen too much book of Thoth for ADC Freya though, it’s mainly been mid.

(143) |

Yes, because it provides a very high amount of power (especially lategame and with other mana items), without needing to be low on health. Though Bancrofts is more effective early game, and the lifesteal is useful at all points of the game, until anti-heal is bought where in combat healing will be less effective.

You could even build both in the same build.
