Introduction

Hi,I'm NCkiller4890 and this is my Rama guide.Rama is the seventh avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu,well known for his ideeal and greatness,joins into the battleground as Ravana kidnapped his wife.(****...)
In smite,Rama is well known by his laugh spam.(I brought a razer keyboard just to spam the macro key :/ )His kit is also infamous for heavily relying on the players skill on aiming the target.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
-Very hard to box
-His 1 goes through walls
-His 3 can roll into any direction facing in any direction
-Long distance ultimate
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cons:
-Bad early game mobility
-Very AA based
-No purchasable skin :(

How to build

For Rama you want to split your game into three period.Early,Swap and Late.These depends on the gold you have,how ahead or behind are you and how is their adc build doing.But these aspects can be mastered once you get used to conquest gameplay.
Starter:
ALWAYS stack Gauntlet.This gives Rama the late sustain he needs.For starter there is two options.First one is where you get Death's Toll and Tier 1 Gauntlet with two potions.This is the Harass start,allowing you work with your support and go in for early kills.The other option is to skip starters and go for Tier 2 Gauntlet.This is the riskier start as you are rushing to start stack.But this could let to your support exposed to enemy early aggression.Both start will finish the Gauntlet at some point.Second item should always be boots,not warrior tabithough.Ninja tabi gives the early attack speed you need as your steroid will be last maxed.Also if putted into numbers,Ninja Tabi actually gives more dps towards the final build.
Early Game:
In early game,your gold would not be very high unless you are fed like a pig.Therefore must focus on getting cheap powerful items.There are 4 items i recommend:
Ichival
Very Cheap item to start the aggression,gives attack speed and AA based penetration,one of my must gets.This item can also be kept late game.
Asi
Utility Item,gives lifesteal attack speed and penetration.A very good item when paired with Ichival
Soul Eater
Another good lifesteal item,gives attack speed and lifesteal,also heals when below certain percentage of health according to stacks.I recommend pairing soul eater with asi for early game sustain.
Hydra's Lament
Very strong item.Gives Power and cooldown reduction.Its passive works with Rama's 2 and 3 and with the cooldown reduction.Downside is it does'nt work with Rama's 1.
Swap
Once you have reached the 17:00 minute mark,for me its the golden minute.As i love to fight(Probably can solo) gold fury.This is where you receive more gold per 5.I will usually swap Asi(or Lament)for
Wind Demon
Lots of power and some crit chance.When crit,the attack speed increases for some duration.With Rama having a attack speed steroid,this with ichival is the only 2 attack speed item you will need.
Late:
In Late game,with all of the gold you needed,its time to go mad.The final 2 slots will fit with 2 crit item.The crit item is too common so i wont really explain.
Now...Let the slaughter begin...

Looks decent.

Though you may want to replace in the late game, for something like .
could also help with your abilities and the extra power is very helpful.

Your guide is too much of a wall-of-text. Perhaps try to seperate the lines/sentences in the "how to build" chapter a bit more.

Other than that the information and build provided is okay. Also I like your title. 's laugh is indeed a very funny one.

(Nothing can beat Ra's laugh though, imo)

If build Transcendence,yes the late game is very good but it will affect your early game aggression and you might fall off.Ichaival is a good item to keep at late game as it is a decent item in my eyes.If you are insisting to get a replacement at late game,the only 2 items i would recommend is soul eater or executioner as either one of them will buff the dps sky high.

As you can see,i have forgotten how to add links and images :/ Check out my Bellona guide,it was ages ago so i kinda have to do some research...

The reason for swapping is because it falls of really hard late game.

Players will allready have that much physical power that the 30 you're taking away, potentially, does nothing anymore.

And I don't see how Transcende affects early game aggression. Infact the power and extra mana to keep your abilities going should help with being more aggressive.

To add links and images, use the icons in the hotbar above your message typing box, or use the tags.
To apply the highlighted items, such as , use double square brackets.

Example:

Code:

Thanks for the help,i will make sure i'll try to improve the guide as now i dont have time.

Rama is more of a AA god,if you are playing conquest mana isnt as important as assault or joust.In Additional, gives life steal which if you try it with Rama's 1 it refills the health bar from 20 to 100 in 3 shots.
I used to stack transcendence but once you try ,you will see the difference.But overall i don't against the idea.
