Introduction

Welcome! And join me on an educational adventure into the healing arts of... Horus, the Rightful Heir!

I promise this won't be the usual guide you've all read... leaving you wondering if there is another way to play our favorite half-man, half-eagle.
still remains my favorite physical support by far, thus I'm willing to share my unique perspective with you all.
This is my first smitefire guide, so feel free to leave comments. Don't troll or be mean!

Anyhoo, lets move on to the boss himself!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check this out. I hope/plan to do my best to keep it updated and current. I've been a casual conquest player since beta... only recent started dipping into the ranked scene. And global events have most of us with a little more free time on our hands. Please don't be afraid to leave a comment! My ign is Bugnutz and am ALWAYS happy to group up and play. I'll run Horus all day.
Take care! And happy hunting! :)

Hi I noticed this is your first build, welcome to the site! Just a few things to mention about your guide.

As Kriega1 mentioned below, the ", 4x , and is a better start, due to a smoother transition into his first power spike which I will explain now.

You have a better power spike on building > > ; the prots on all of those items plus his passive synergise really well with a total of 50 power and 71 protections of each on top of base prots before stacking . Building the and going straight into is expensive and you need boots to be able to rotate and help your team more, yes getting those stacks online earlier can be beneficial in one way, but it is counter productive.

Other items that should make an appearance (either as situational or core) in a Support build are: , , , , , , and maybe a . Items I would suggest removing are and shield of regrowth; There are just better options to support your team, for example provides similar stats but the passive is much more helpful for burning objectives and increasing your backline ADC's DPS.

I really like the write up, keeps things pleasant and personalised not just a copy and paste of what the abilities do. The passive by the way doesn't provide cooldown reduction it provides crowd control reduction so that needs to be changed. I would also add somewhere about the combo of dash stunning with and following it up with the knock up in equalling around a 3 second CC chain that can force an enemy to use . On top of backdooring the Titan you should mention the play where you know enemies are elsewhere on the map (such as a Gold Fury) and you can ult to the Fire Giant to take it before they have a chance.

All seriousness aside you've done a good job putting the effort in to make this build so great to have you here!

I absolutely disagree with removing shield of Regrowth.

Mind if I just ask your thoughts on that Kriega? The sustain and movement speed is actually pretty great for imo. Especially since I'm really not a huge fan . You're a sitting duck the whole time... and it takes FOREVER to actually go off.

Bug, I think you might have misread. Kriega was actually suggesting keeping Regrowth, rather than removing it.

Totally did! Thanks so much for pointing that out. :)

Well having it for the movement buff after the heal is nice and all, but it's also pretty good using the heal to proc regrowth passive before using the ult to travel further. I don't think it's core but I do think it can be built.

(37) |

I didn't think about it being used to travel further in ultimate, maybe it could be built at a high masters level for that reason but I don't think it's really worth the pick up compared to the utility of other items as a support, maybe as a solo but Horus solo isn't the best.

As much as I love ... I really haven't been able to really find a way to be relative in the solo lane.

Thank you both so much for the feedback!

I starting using for it's sustain in early poke. Horus isn't the "tankiest" support early and the heal is nice to have but I found myself getting poked out in the very early game a lot. I definitely go straight into or before finishing the . Seems to have been working as of late (Granted I'm climbing my way through Bronze atm).

Here I think is how my build/play style differs from pretty much everyone. I don't generally worry about building power on . I entirely focus on support and instead tend to focus on aura/cooldown equipment. Which may sacrifice my own power... or even my own prots slightly (but we have our passive to help that). is a great item, but doesn't necessarily help my ADC as much as say or the stacks from .

is often something I build when a isn't necessary in the magical defense slot for it's CD effect. I do have listed in my situational items. It's a great alternative. When ahead... Shield of Regrowth is a great mobility option. Although, I agree that I forgot to (and should have) add(ed) .

Didn't spot to passive typo!! Thank you so much for that! Good eye. That's why we do this. :) Going to update the guide now and I'l definitely mention the combo. Seemed a little self explanatory, but you're right in that it's good to just see the numbers anyway. You don't realize it's that long while in the game and on high alert... but the numbers themselves contribute to the point being made. :)

(37) |

It's a slow and steady climb, especially playing support and solo. Only after getting in diamond am I at a point where I can queue support as my primary role without having to worry about my mid or jungle not being good enough to win the game, and feel more impactful than even when I was in platinum, let alone lower.

Anywho, talking about poke. You will actually sustain back that damage you're taking with the extra 2 health pots, and still be closer to building your first core item being (synergy with passive and nerfs to make them the only best choice at the moment). So give it a try, you might feel a difference; it's less about the poke in lane and how much sooner your items come online.

Now the power in I totally get that as a support you want to be defensive for your team which in the grand scheme of things is true. But has decent scaling on all of his abilities and what I would consider to be his strongest early game threat is his constant dash stuns which hit fairly hard. So the opportunity to add power to those abilities including the heal while also staying tanky in a cheap item is more efficient than going straight into that takes a while to stack and doesn't provide much until around 35+ stacks.

Anyways just give them both a try and if you like them consider the change, if not then no biggie.

It's darn near impossible to climb out of bronze as a support main... or so it seems, lol.

The only reason I listed was for the mp5 since is mana heavy early. But definitely not as tanky. So a lane with light pressure or low burst might be a situation to use them. Or even a high mobility enemy team.

So then... theoretically... I wonder if it's worth the consideration to drop the all together? It does take quite awhile to stack... or maybe build like 3rd instead? Skipping straight to like or caduceus shield. Theory crafting is hard, lol!

(81) |

Thebes is the most cost efficient defensive item you can get, so I definitely wouldn't drop it unless you're facing 4+ magical or physical; in those cases I would get either or respectively. But getting Thebes 3rd is perfectly fine.

Ok, yeah that's what I figured. But its not too late for it? Nobody in Bronze plays for the late game. They come out swinging right off the bat. So I feel like which ever team snowballs the beginning will win everytime. Hence, why I rush into .

(143) |

Yeah Thebes 2nd is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with getting Sledge 3rd if you plan on building it.

(143) |

Why would you play Support in bronze?

Ummm... someone has to? I just enjoy the role... but bronze is KILLING me, Lol! Especially as ... i can make setups all day, but if nobody is there for the followup.. it's not doing much good. :/

Where’s the guardians blessing, boots 1, 4 health pots, HoG start
