Introduction

Hello, I am BrutalBelly! I've been playing Smite for a few years now and am a Warrior enthusiast. I've been Masters in Duel and Conquest over this time as well. Even hitting GM in both, Duel Season 8 and Conquest current season. Over this time we've seen shifts to items and core builds. I saw a lot of the current builds being presented and wanted to show what I've been running in my games.

Erlang Shen's Abilities

Passive -

One of the better boxing passives in the game. The dog paired with your one really help chip away damage from any god.

Ability 1 -

Mega stim which really helps when boxing/versing an ADC. Death's Embrace plus the reduction for autos allows you to really have this up at all times.

Ability 2 -

Standard root, use to close distance.

Ability 3 -

Mink is a stim used to help in boxing/catch up to an opponent. Turtle is for the shield primarily. They got rid of the knock up on it leaving it as a more defensive option than offensive.

Ultimate -

Paired with your one's damage reduction you will be very tanky. This is a taunt, so it can be also used as a fight initiator off a blink.

Start

Start at XP camp near red, you are going to solo this. Afterwards you go to blue, you solo this as well. Then you head to lane lvl 2 and start your gameplay.

Solo Lane Objectives

Your main priority is in your lane.

Your objectives are as follows:

Wave: This is number one, this is your main source of xp and gold.
Totem: Very beneficial to the whole map and solo right now is about pressure. Securing totems helps the whole map out very much.
Cooldown camp: This one is important as well since controlling the neutral farm is the best way to snowball without directly getting kills.
TP harpy: This one is still a decent source of xp, but cooldown camp and totem should be prioritized if you have to pick.
Comet: This one is random, but when it does land on your side it is very nice to have. It gives passive aura damage (kind of like a mystical mail) and some xp. Having pressure in solo really helps you secure this when it lands.
Blue Buff: This one is a given, you need to defend this (not to the death).
Enemy Blue Buff: If you can safely invade and try to steal it, do it. If there are lane objectives up go for them as walking into the enemy jungle is unpredictable.
Back XP Camp/Shaman: If your jungle is neglecting this you can steal it, especially if they are on the other side of the map. I've seen a lot of jungles on duo side when this camp and blue are spawning so it is important to get the shamans on the camps as soon as they spawn.
Teleporter: This is a good way to get over to duo side without having to sacrifice your TP relic (or way to get back after TPing over duo).
