Hello everyone, this is coldhotshot presenting you my 
Fenrir guide. I worked hard to produce this guide and I would appreciate all feedback that I get from you. Fenrir is a phenomenal god, with the huge dps he has and the potential sustainability he has, many fear him. He is harder to play with the nerf, but with right positioning, laning partners and skill usage, Fenrir shall howl his way into the stage of the gods. Above all, thank you guys for taking the time to read my guide on Fenrir.

Pros
+ Good at ganking + Potentially High DPS + High 1v1 potential + Some Sustain + Good chain combo if used properly + Can have potential in team fights Many of Fenrir's skills involve 1v1 confrontations. This makes him very good at 1v1 battles. His combo of 3+2 gives a lot of DPS and allows some sustain from the life steal. If used properly, his ulti can be a good initiator for killing carries during team fights. |
Cons
- Squishy early game - Melee - His passive involves him needing to attack 5 times for full efficiency - Rarely useful in team fights - Long cool downs - CC can be negated Fenrir is squishy, so he needs a tank's item at the beginning. He is melee, which means he will get hit easily by ranged characters. As most of his abilities require stacks for full effectiveness and are 1v1, he has low potential in team fights unless used properly. His skills have long cool downs and his ulti can be negated.
|
Unbound Runes:This will stack. The passive can be the difference between securing a kill or not. This passive involves adding a bonus to his abilities, it is more efficient if one gets all 5 runes active before starting a fight. The extra damage might be helpful as his combos effectiveness will increase if used properly.
Unchained(1):This is Fenrir's escape ability. After using his 3+2 combo on the enemy, he will need a way of escape to get out of sticky situations. I do not recommend using this skill as a initiation, as it will use the runes that should be used in other skills.
Seething Howl(2): This is Fenrir's main ability. With the passive from this ability Fenrir deals a great amount of damage on the enemy, secure kill.
Brutalize(3): This ability is your initiation ability. With full runes, the attack does aoe damage, dealing damage to other gods when initiating. Proper usage can making gods with low hp unaware of the aoe damage, securing two kills.
Ragnarok(4): This is Fenrir's CC ability. Use this to drag one god to the tower or to your teammates for the kill.
->
Brutalize to activate the passive, dealing aoe damage, then go into Seething Howl to do the damage and gain health back. If you are about to go into tower range another opponent or Seething Howl ended, retreat with Unchained.

Mark of the Vanguard allows Fenrir to be to sustain in lane longer. As Fenrir is squishy at the beginning, Mark of the Vanguard gives him the early tankiness needed to survive to late game. Fenrir is a melee character so try dodge enemy god's ranged harass.
Warrior Tabi give some mobility in the early levels to help dodge enemy skillshots. Fenrir is a god reposition and adjust his position within a lane, the other option is to grab a few 
Healing Potion or 
Mana Potion, If you are confident with repositioning grab Warrior Tabi. If not grab some Healing Potion or Mana Potion . Although, with the skill Seething Howl he would not need as many Healing Potion or Mana Potion.
Fenrir physical protection and penetration. It is a core item on many melee characters as it provides physical strength and sustainability. A good item on Fenrir because many of his skills involve going close to the enemy to secure the kill. Furthermore, you won't die from getting ganked by ad gods.
Fenrir both health, attack speed and life steal. This increases his survivability while being able to deal damage to the enemy. If you want a more damage like build, use devourer's gloves instead, but read below before choosing.
Fenrir does not have an ability to wipe out minion waves to get the stacks. Compared to gods like 
Loki, Fenrir would get most of his stacks from basic attacks, which is insufficient until late game. In late game, there will be no time to gain stacks so rendering the item useless. Furthermore, his skills should be used on gods rather than minions to conserve mana.
Mark of the Vanguard to buy one of the following items(once you have the money to afford these items)
Bulwark of Hope provides Fenrir with magic protection. If the other teams strongest god is ap, buy this item. It will provide a cover against magic damage, allowing you to take some damage to initiate the 2+3 combo.
Frostbound Hammer prevents god's from escaping your combos. You might want this item to complement the critical hit damage from the latter of the item build. Also, it provides health, for more sustainability. A really good item that goes with 
Fatalis.
Fenrir to pick off gods that survive his combo with basic attacks. With the Deathbringer, the enemy god will die to the critical hit damage. This is because, Brutalize is 4 basic attacks that do damage. Critical hits do apply on the attacks,increasing his damage output immensely.
Rage. Both of these items are reasons why this build makes Fenrir not just a bruiser but an assassin as well.
If you keep dying

If you can't secure kills
|
Fenrir, you should play him passively. Try to go left lane and get your partner to help you get the mana buff. If not, then get the speed buff in right lane. This is so he has more sustain. Fenrir can die easily early game, negating him from gold and levels that he will need to support his mid game. The reason why you should get Seething Howl first is because it has life steal to heal off the enemy when in need of health. Do not play aggressively, unless you are 100% sure you can obtain a kill. Go back to base whenever you need to so your partner has more time to defend the lane, rather than let the opponent push before you go back.
Gods he is good with
Ymir: This god has a lot of CC on his skills, allowing Fenrir to not take damage while initiating. Also acts as a meat shield from the enemy during early game.
Sobek: This god also has a life steal ability, allowing him to stay in lane longer. His 
Charge Prey gives you a lot of time to do damage on the opponent god. Furthermore, decent ulti combo with you dropping the enemies into sobek's ulti.
Ares: This god allows for more aggressive mid game. With his many slows and cc abilities and his dps, he weakens, slows and stuns the enemy for a free kill(unless they by aegis or purification beads, then you chase them with your ulti to get the kill)
Gods he is good against
Artemis: She can't escape any of you attacks and her usefulness comes in late game, giving enough time for you to prevent this from early to mid game.
Ao Kuang: He might deal a ton of damage, but with the attack speed from the items, securing a kill should be easy. Just watch out for his ultimate in the jungle.
Gods he is bad against
Ares: This tank who does a ton of damage can easily kill you. He will chain you to him, preventing no escape from his flames. Get purification beads to level 3 to deal with him.
Ymir: Even as a good friend, he can be a ruthless enemy. With his ability to stun you while you sue Brutalize, he can prevent you from dealing damage and running away, leaving you vulnerable. Get purification beads or aegis to deal with him.
Ok, here is the deal with jungling. In Smite, the jungle is not enough to sustain you; however, there are buffs you should look out for.
Before game :You and your laning partner should decide who should get the 
Girdle of Might and who should get the 
Hand of the Gods. Try to get the girdle, because you will need the extra damage output to secure kills with the assassination combo. Furthermore, you can get bumbas mask to help the jungling.
Beginning game:Mana and speed buffs. This is to get more sustain and have a easier time escaping bad situations. Not essental but better safe than sorry.
Mid game:Mana and Cool down buffs. This is to allow you to spam skills on the enemy.
End game:All buffs. bu the priority is Mana>Attack>Cool Down> Speed. Try to get the buffs from your enemy's jungle.
Anytime: gold/exp camps. If you feel like it isn;t safe to keep on laning because of ganks, go get the gold/exp camp to be safe and get exp with gold.
How to jungle:Mainly use your 2 to jungle, so you don't die and you do damage. In early game, just let the tank god to take the damage. Fenrir should not jungle most of the time, he wasn't made to jungle and should only jungle when enemies are missing.
I watched this video and it really demonstrates how Fenrir works. This video is by DryBear, a active smite player and he focuses on Fenrir jungle. Even though I stated earlier jungling wasn't as good, follow this video if you want to know more about Fenrir jungle or about item choices and skill sequences of Fenrir. He really takes a different perspective on Fenrir, which shows Fenrir's versatile play styles.
Here is another one(its longer and goes into the jungle assassin build of Fenrir)

i love that wolf <3
+1
Ill ad more stuff later but I never faced a xblanque as fenrir. Also, I do not recommend fenrir as a joust god as he has lower push potential than xblanque, neith and the such. ad range gods seem to be your best bet in jousts.
Super Secret update coming out for this guide. The current build wil be edited and I will add some "stuff" to it. Look forward to after my exams.
Ok, i'll rework it
With joust I use a different build and most items were situational.
Could you give me the details of his items?
PS. You could maybe switch Fatalis for Magi's Blessing and then Instead of Bullwark of Hope get Frostbound Hammer or Titan's Bane.
