Smite God: Guan Yu

Tap Mouse over an item or ability icon for detailed info

Guan Yu Build

Starter

Notes We're gonna rush boots here as Guan Yu benefits very much from movement speed.

Warrior's Blessing

Boots

Mana Potion

Multi Potion

Teleport Fragment

Core

Notes We go with Warrior's Tabi here as this kind of shoe fits Guan better as it does with most solos
Shield of Regrowth is going to excel here because of the upcoming buff Guan is going to receive, this will help his passive plus hand hijk more movement speed due to his heal.
Hopefully here with the upcoming buff, Guan will be harder to shake and defeat in team fights, on a further note he'll need to be hard CC'd, nonetheless Spirit Robe offers some great mitigation towards such CC

Warrior Tabi

Breastplate of Regrowth

Spirit Robe

Damage

Notes All of these items are great right now as it supplies nice damage and pen (cool down and others too!)
Although FrostBound Hammer is not so good right now, it's passive can help slap up some weaker skilled enemies when used correctly.

Masamune

Jotunn's Wrath

The Crusher

Frostbound Hammer

Defense

Breastplate of Valor

Ancile

Bulwark of Hope

Gladiator's Shield

Mantle of Discord

Circumstantial

Void Shield

Brawler's Beat Stick

Pestilence

Lotus Sickle

Winged Blade

Witchblade

Chapter Title

This is a build for the upcoming buff Guan Yu is receiving, it will focus on a lot of damage and offer other items to utilize in combat and for overall defense.

This build is based off of my friend: PTSD_IS_A_DRUG and is a little edited to my liking, don't worry he is aware of this

As with any other solo laner, you'll find them often counter-building.

I do see in there. I can understand the reasoning to throw in as an alternate anti-heal item (though it's not usually suggested). But I find the lack of standard basic-attack counters like or to be a significant oversight.

The most I would ever suggest from your damage list would be . If you get that, you also have the option of replacing your boots late-game with another MS item, but I don't see as an option...you do list and , which is good.

But Jotunn's and Crusher? Probably not the best items.

Regarding your core, I can see the appeal for Shield of Regrowth, and although perhaps not a true core item, I could consider it close, and it's okay as personal preference. I can also understand .

Your starting items are curious...you should be getting that mana buff, so why are you loading up so much on mana and multi potions? Your biggest issue early is likely to be health sustain, just like any other Warrior. Yes, you've got , but it's relatively weak early. It helps that the 5.8 buff will allow you to pop it often with the 2x heal from stacks, but you still need more health, and you shouldn't be prioritizing in solo over the wave clear you need from (unless you're facing an enemy that can stun you out of the channel).

I can see a compromise...maybe some s, and a couple of Mana or multi potions just to help a bit with mana. But not completely ignoring the need for some healing. You're likely to take at least SOME damage, because your Taolu is a long cast, and you have to be right on the minions to hit them. You have no range.
