Tank n’ Spank Explanation

All of these items on Erlang each offer a specific stat which is crucial - protections, health, mana, CDR, CCR, power, penetration and attack speed are all boosted by this build. Heres why:

Warrior’s Blessing - Essential for early game tank and sustain.

Berserker’s Shield - Cheap boost to power, physical protection and attack speed and perfect for sustaining off Erlang’s fast attack chain.

Warrior Tabi / Ninja Tabi - Both Tabi offer strong offensive stats with either bursty power or extended DPS through attack speed.

Ancile - Strong power spike alongside magical protections, and the CDR helps you to spam your combo. Passive is especially effective against magical channeled abilities, like Anubis Plague of Locusts or Bacchus Belch of the Gods.

Void Shield - Defensive physical protections and health are essential for surviving jungle ganks, while the bonus protection shred and power allows Erlang to hit hard as well. The protection reduction also benefits other physical gods on your team.

Shogun’s Kusari - String boost to magical protections with useful MP5 and CDR to spam abilities, while the unique 20% AS aura allows more procs on Berserker’s Shield and your passive.

Midgardian Mail / Hide of the Nemean- Extra physical protections and/or health for surviving teamfights, but also added counter to late-game carries through extra CC or damage against basic attackers.

Stone Cutting Sword - After selling Berserker’s Shield, this is a huge DPS boost for Erlang with protection shred and power, as well as added movement speed. With this, you can finally do more than tickle tanks.

Mantle of Discord - Unrivaled protections with 60 of each, this is the ultimate late game item after selling boots to allow you to be unkillable. Passive also allows you to escape rough situations, alongside the nice 10% CDR of course.

I think you need more situationals listed, especially Pestilence which isn’t listed. Other items like spirit robe, urchin etc...

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.
