Chapter Title

To be honest I don't know what to write so I'll just tell you about the damage that I deal on an average during gameplay with these builds , it's usually around 30 to 50,000 player damage and about the same to creeps AKA minions........ So if this build works for you I'm happy to be obliged and if it doesn't then I guess it sucks to suck " good day".…………………… " I said good day"😈

PS . My wife said she likes orange juice

I just ran X through jungle practice and you cannot put two points in back-to-back. You should at least fix your leveling order if nothing else.

(81) |

Transcendence is built too late in the first build and isn't needed.
Branching Bola just needs 1 level until both Poison Darts and Rising Jaguar are maxed, same with Darkest of Nights.
Odysseus' Bow should be built 5th or 6th.
One crit item is never worth it; but two or don't buy any. The second crit item should be Deathbringer.
Meditation cloak should only be bought in assault.
Hunters should be looking at Purification Beads, Aegis Amulet, and possibly Phantom Veil. The other relics should be picked up by the front line.
Talaria Boots are useless. Get Warrior Tabi or Ninja Tabi; don't gimp your damage output just because you want to move faster.

I like cake.

Unoptimal builds.
Better builds: https://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/xbalanque-carry-conquest-build-5-20-20038

If you wish to discuss further, I will explain more.

Those are conquest builds btw, these are for joust/arena.

Still much more usable than what this author has. For arena, just replace with if you do not want to or can not stack.

What would you recommend for arena, Gary? I like playing X, but I struggle with getting kills and I rarely see a good X who doesn't.

My comment on another Xbal build: https://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/xbalanque-joust-21334/comments?c=136965#comment-136965

3 build options at the bottom. For Joust, those are fine. For Arena, you might still consider the trans builds, but the 3rd one I probably wouldn't go Devo's. Just go into Tabi and fit , , or into it whenever you really feel the need.

Agreed also that this build is not optimal. Can this build creator do well with it? Sure (also depends on his competition level). Could he do more with an adjusted build? Yup.

Regarding that competition level, I won't post his actual page for privacy purposes, but this account is new (level 29), and his global KDA is 893 kills / 1,517 deaths, 2,153 assists (1.3 KDA).

http://smite.guru/censor/match/54070

http://smite.guru/censor/match/54071

And note that 2nd match...he did do a lot of damage (almost 45k), but he went 10/11/18. Combine that with consideration of his global stats, and it shows likely all-in mentality, positional awareness issues, etc. No offense to the build creator...you're new, and when we were new, we were absolutely still learning about proper builds and why they're better than others.

So, this build is not optimal for multiple reasons that some have explained. It's far from the worst I've seen though. (that's not saying much, I know)

Also, build order does work for non-Conquest modes. Gulf is incorrect with that comment. But it's still not optimal.

(81) |

Doing a lot if damage is great, but you're not doing your team any favors waiting to respawn.

(400) |

Also, you're hurting your team stats-wise if you're even in kills/deaths, or behind. Most every time you die in Arena, your one death is giving a kill, and likely one or more assists, giving the enemy team more $$$ to work with.

A 5/2/15 record is better than 10/10/10. A lot of people just don't understand this. You're doing best if you can limit your deaths as much as possible.

(81) |

That and a god death is worth 5 tickets, which is almost an entire minion wave.

(400) |

Build was updated on 2/3, but is still pretty awful. Boots built too late in all cases (Talaria is a poor choice), O-Bow early isn't good as DV-8 referenced my discussion on building early attack speed, single crit item isn't good, as 20% crit chance isn't reliable. 2 suggested/preferred relics are Heavenly and Med???

Hard downvote at this point.

(143) |

After 2 weeks if the build is still troll like it's current state, I think a certain action can be considered.
