Cerberus's snake tail spits venom that passes through and damages Enemies. If Cerberus's dog heads are Alert, they then also spit venom when the ability is fired. Each head is alerted upon hitting an Enemy with a Basic Attack, and all are alerted after Ghastly Breath. Each projectile that hits the same target deals 20% less damage, but hitting an Enemy with all 4 Stuns them.

Each of Cerberus's 3 heads releases a cone of noxious breath in front of them, damaging all enemies in range 7 times over 2.4s and reducing their Magical Protection up to three times. Enemies in the center of his breath are also Slowed up to three times. This attack immediately puts all three of Cerberus's heads on Alert for Paralyzing Spit.

Cerberus's haunting wail summons below him the souls of the damned, which then lift all Enemy Gods into the air while stretching the link between their bodies and souls, Damaging them.

One thing I would suggest is that you give potential options depending on situation. For example, you have Tainted as your starter/upgrade. There may be cases where anti-heal isn't the highest priority, and some of the other default starters may be more functional.

While I would be fine with the core of Thebes, BoV and Void, there's further argument of not defaulting to items like Emperor's Armor and Manticore's Spikes. Emp's is typically better early when you don't have all the prots to easily dive towers, and only in those situations where you're expecting to need to dive towers when you're winning lanes etc. It's less functional on defense usually, and definitely starts falling off later. Manticore is an okay item but outside of his ult, he only has his 1 to trigger the effect I believe, and that's only when you get the stun, which can be difficult to hit. I would argue there are multiple items that are better defaults for him.

So besides offering a set build, you can also propose a 2nd build, and also provide a list of items that are functional situationally...because one single build usually isn't always best.

There's an additional consideration that you might want to level your 1 before your 2. In a support role I can definitely see the 2 being more potentially functional, but the 1 is much better for minion clear in the jungle/solo lane, and can't get interrupted and shut down prematurely like the 2 can.

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.
