So a couple of things:
Firstly, Hades should never get Obsidian Shard. He just isn't designed to kill tanks, and should leave it to others. Secondly, the gods you list are... peculiar. I don't know if you got it backwards. Anubis is a high threat character since he can kill you in your ult without you being able to do anything, whereas Freya, Loki, and to a lesser extent Baron Hades can beat fairly reliably. As for Freya, she's a squish with no movement outside of her ult, Baron can't move either but has his root to deal with you. Hades' 2 is one of the few cc's that reliably remove loki's invis, and if you ult him when his is down, he's chum. I personally would fiddle around with the items to give him some more hp but otherwise, alright

If you're playing him Mid it's a consideration. In solo it would be more of a situational pickup.

Whom Freya can banish if the Hades player tries to agress unless the Hades uses their ult, but Freya can just ult out of Hades' ult.

and later in the game she can just kill him during ult

I see you updated your builds, but it still needs some work.

Mid:
Build 1 overcaps CDR ( Breastplate of Valor + Chronos' Pendant + Shoes of Focus). Personally, I don't think Hades needs CDR, but if you want to build it, Focus should be enough.

Build 2 doesn't have enough pen for Mid.

Build 3 also overcaps CDR ( Potion of Magical Might exists).

Builds 4 and 5 are fine.

You can remove Chronos' from builds 6 and 7 and add something more useful instead ( Spear of the Magus or Soul Reaver). Build 6 builds pen too late despite Shoes of the Magi being built second.


Solo:
In general, builds are too squishy. Only Breastplate of Valor and Void Stone aren't enough, despite going Warlock's Staff in some builds. You also should consider items like Celestial Legion Helm, Hide of the Urchin, Mantle of Discord, Spirit Robe.

I understand the appeal of Bancroft's Talon on Hades, but it isn't really needed. If you apply Blight and use Devour Souls you'll heal yourself (and teammates) without the need of lifesteal. It can be used for early aggression against a weaker opponent, but I generally don't build it.

My preferred Hades build is: Shoes of the Magi, Celestial Legion Helm, Void Stone/ Stone of Fal, Hide of the Urchin, Divine Ruin, Pythagorem's Piece. Sell boots for Spear of the Magus/ Ethereal Staff/ Spirit Robe.

I think some of your builds get Warlock's Staff or Book of Thoth a little too late. Also, I don't think Book of Thoth is good on Hades mid.
Some of your builds Cap CDR. Shoes of Focus in solo: You shouldn't be having hard mana issues since you should be picking up the blue buff.

Kriega1 (143) | May 24, 2019 5:36pm
Warlocks third item is fine if you rush tier 2 bancrofts.

boogiebass (46) | May 24, 2019 5:37pm
But don't you feel Book of Thoth on Hades is strange? Also note the Shoes of Focus in solo lane.

I may be wrong about how I think about supports, but I see them as doing two or more of the following:
  • Peeling for their teammates.
  • Healing their teammates.
  • Body blocking enemy attacks/abilities.
  • Setting up kills via hard CC (stuns, knock-ups, grabs, etc.)

While they are expected to do some damage, that is far from their primary role, which is why most don't pick items that only provide damage like Soul Reaver. Also, with the amount of aura items out there that not only provide protections for the support, but also some type of utility for the team (HP5, MP5, attack speed, protections, enemy anti-heal, etc.), there's really no reason to pick up a purely selfish item like Hide of the Urchin. Sure there are non-aura items, but they aren't selfish: Oni Hunter's Garb helps keep you alive in the middle of a team fight where the enemy is focusing on you, allowing your squishier teammates to get their damage in without worry of retaliation; Spirit Robe is to help keep you alive when you're affected by hard cc, again so you're the focus and not your squishies; Hide of the Nemean Lion is there to make enemies building crit either kill themselves or run away, though they can switch to your squishy teammates; Midgardian Mail and Witchblade are there to slow down enemy basic attackers, giving either you or your teammates time to retreat, or slow the enemy down long enough for your teammates to finish them off or make them retreat.

Again, soul reaver and hide have no business being in a support build. The former is great for mid and the later for solo, but not support. I cannot change my vote until you revise your builds to be more effective.

Yea sounds about right

boogiebass (46) | April 23, 2019 1:45pm
I don't understand the reasoning behind some of the support builds.
-chronos pendant on a support
-spear of deso on a support
-Pen shoes on a support
-some of the last builds overcap cdr

xmysterionz (72) | April 23, 2019 1:48pm
Plus a lot of builds are more like just a tanky, so could be solo builds, than a properly support build.

boogiebass (46) | April 23, 2019 1:46pm
Soul reaver on a support is strange too

boogiebass (46) | March 1, 2019 9:27am
Remove the troll build section. It's unnecessary and doesn't help your guide at all.

Kriega1 (143) | March 17, 2019 3:30pm
Who's been upvoting this build when some of the builds still need work?
1
Gulfwulf (81) | March 17, 2019 5:15pm
Not me. The author will need to respond to the critiques of their build before I change my vote.

boogiebass (46) | March 17, 2019 4:35pm
Let's start by removing the troll build section. Then Let's work on solo, mid, and support in that order (order of decreasing viability).

Not sure how bad the builds were before but they still need work, especially the support builds.

LordEnderSaber215 | November 27, 2018 6:21am
Hello Mr.Kriega1 I appreciate the criticism. I will fix the Support builds. I like to test my builds myself before I post them and the one im focusing on right now is mid and solo because I play him in those roles the most. Like i said before thanks
for the criticism

xmysterionz (72) | November 16, 2018 3:02am
I'd never buy Warlock's Staff on a solo laner or support. Plus I prefer a more bruiser Hades on mid, but everything else looks solid.

Kriega1 (143) | November 16, 2018 3:51am
That’s funny, because I definitely would buy Warlocks on solo lane Chronos.
1
xmysterionz (72) | November 16, 2018 4:29am
That's personal. I usually use physical characters as solo. The only magical solo I've played recently is Zhong and I don't build it on him usually.

Branmuffin, can you take a look and provide feedback?

Branmuffin17 (401) | November 16, 2018 11:27am
Let's see...
  • SUPPORT: I would personally not play Hades in a support role. Can it work? Sure. But 2 of these builds have Warlock's Staff, which is a no-no for Support (don't steal farm from the ADC...yes, you can slowly build up stacks from jungle camps, but you'll be stealing from the jungler perhaps, and there are a lot of stacks to build. Just don't even do this for Support. Shouldn't see a sniff of this item for Support.

    3 of those builds contain Gauntlet of Thebes, which means you don't want to kill minions, at least at the stage you're stacking. This is of course in line with the concept of a Support. That said, Hades' kit really makes him really want to clear minions and blow at least 1-2 abilities in doing so...or he'll need to be aggressing on the enemy all the time instead...otherwise, what abilities are you using? Sure, you can heal a nearby teammate (as long as they need healing and they're close, but you want to make sure you don't clear those minions. Also, to do any of your damage, you need to be in close...and you're really hurting your potential aggression with that item being built so early.

    Back to his kit. You'll either commit with a 1-3 combo for damage/healing, or maybe a 2-3 combo. And if you're not blighting them, you have very little actual control.

    CC with blight applied initially (and depending on what abilities you have available): Slow, Fear

    CC without blight applied initially: silence

    What does this mean? He's just not a great Support, at least in that kind of role. Aggressive function could work, but he's not even a strong god right now. This is stretching it, and just not something that I feel will work well without some build modification.

  • MID: Super squishy in the lifesteal build. He's gotta be in close to deal his damage, and he's immobile while ulting. This is why bruiser builds tend to be the best bet. Your "safe" build falls more in line with that, but is still not optimal. Rather than Obsidian Shard, I'd suggest Void Stone as your pen item of choice...with perhaps additional flat pen from something like Shoes of the Magi, Divine Ruin, Spear of Desolation, etc. Round out with physical protections from something like Breastplate of Valor (if you want the CDR) or Celestial Legion Helm (since it provides some power at least)...combined with Warlock's Staff and Mantle of Discord, you've got your bruiser/tanky mid build that will give you good survivability while still having some damage potential.

    But again...he's just not a strong god right now.

  • SOLO: similar problems. Probably wouldn't consider Ethereal Staff here...just not the best item in most situations, and when you build it, you already have high health from Warlock's Staff. These builds aren't terrible. You give some decent examples of builds (though I'd probably delay Divine Ruin over Pestilence in the anti-heal build, and probably not bother with Obsidian Shard there).

Ok builds are looking good overall. However, your lifesteal build for mid is too squishy. As kriega pointed out, you will get blown up too quickly.

Pros / Cons

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.
