Explaining the Item Build

Guan Yu is a warrior that be a nuisance in battle as he can deal a considerable amount of damage to multiple enemy gods and heal his team. However, Guan Yu can become obsolete in battles if he doesn't build on these builds. Because of this, Guan Yu must build damage and aspects that benefit his healing ability. Luckily, this build focuses on building damage while also building health at the same time so Guan Yu can survive battles and building aspects to his heal that will benefit his team.

Explaining the Ability Build

Guan Yu relies on Taolu Assault as this ability is his primary source of attacking multiple enemies, so it is important to focus on fully-upgrading Taolu Assault first. Then, focus on fully-upgrading Conviction as this allows Guan Yu to be relevant in a battle. Afterwards, finish fully-upgrading Warrior's Will and Calvary Charge. Remember, don't ignore upgrading Conviction early in the game as not upgrading it can leave him vulnerable.

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.
