Introduction

Hello! I'm Spectral Tangent and this is my first god guide. Smite is my first and only MOBA, and I've only been playing since late last year. However, I have come to really enjoy playing and I'd like to try and help other people out with what knowledge I have. I find myself mostly playing Arena games, so naturally this is an Arena guide. I would appreciate any feedback you have, and if you don't like/don't agree with anything, let me know! I plan to update regularly as things change and I will work to take other people's ideas and thoughts into consideration.

So let's get started! Geb, the god of earth, is a guardian. He has some very useful abilities and also the potential to deal some reasonable damage, for a guardian. He is best played as the team's primary tank.

Strengths
+Good amount of CC
+Able to escape
+Shield provides CC cleanse
+Very hard to kill late game
+It's really fun to roll around as a boulder

Weaknesses
-Short CC duration
-Takes a few seconds to start up escape
-Shield is only a CC cleanse
-Damage is limited by a percentage-based ultimate
-Weak early game

Changes

Abilities

Ability #1: Roll Out

turns into a rolling boulder, gaining movement speed for three seconds and then gaining CC immunity. The ability stops on the first enemy hit, applying a slow and knocking them back if after the first three seconds. NOTE: the knockback is in the direction you are traveling. Be careful not to knock them away from your team if you are chasing.
Level this ability third.

Autobots...

Ability #2: Shock Wave

deals damage and applies knockup to enemies in a wide cone in front of him. Enemies at the edge of the range take 50% damage, scaling from 100% next to .
Level this ability first.

Level this ability second.

Saved Ya!

Level this ability whenever available.

Rip the World Apart

Items

Typical Build:

Pick Out Some Shoes

Build Your Defenses

Other Defensive Options

Sovereignty

While and its magical counterpart are typically great support items, I consider them to be mostly unnecessary in arena. Their hp5 and mp5 auras are not necessary as the fountain is always close by. The protection boost from the auras is nice, but the passives on other forms of defense are simply much stronger for arena. That said, they are great secondary protection items when facing unbalanced teams, as their protection aura becomes increasingly worthwhile.

Midgardian Mail

This is a nice little piece of physical protection and can really be useful against basic-attack heavy teams. However, its protections are very low compared to other defensive items and the passive chance to slow enemies is not best used in arena. The large chunk of health is great, but unless you find yourself against loads of basic attack enemies, there are better options

Pestilence

This is a great item to work on countering healing enemies, whether that be group healing like or or self-healing like or . It comes with the highest magical protection on a single item and some nice health as well. Still, unless you find yourself against some very strong healers, is the way to go for its powerful passive.

Heartward Amulet

The magical counterpart to , see my comments on it above.

Mantle of Discord

This is a very powerful but very expensive mixed defense item. When you take too much damage, its passive stuns all gods in a radius around you and makes you cc immune for a short duration. It also provides 15% CDR, which will overcap you if you got and , which will lose you some efficiency. is certainly a powerful buy, but you need to gauge how well you are doing, as picking it up will often leave you without a full build by the end of the game if you are not raking in the cash.

Utility (Items 5 and 6)

Damage Options (Alternative Way to Build Items 5 and 6)

Sanctuary

Sprint

Blink

Purification

Shell

Curse

Relics to Consider

Sanctuary
Sanctuary

While this might be a sign that I am a bit too aggressive with my tank, I often find it useful to pick up Sanctuary as my first relic. 's early game is really very weak, and this can sometimes be necessary to ensure you make it out alive.

Sprint
Sprint

Sprint is a nice relic for retreating from a poor situation, as it will make you and all your allies within radius much harder to chase and grant you immunity to slows. A good safety for when a teamfight starts to turn out poorly.

Blink
Blink

Blink tends to be a good option for gods with some hard CC that is used to initiate a team fight. This is a viable relic on , but I typically find it is not entirely necessary. This is a great tool to set up a initiate, but i often simply use Rollout to quickly enter range for my initiations.

Purification
Purification

A very good relic to deal with a team that has some very hard CC that you expect to be an issue, such as or . However, since 's ult is CC immune, he is able to typically counter these issues well without Purification. Sometimes it even works to let yourself get CCed and brought into the enemy's midst so you can then counter-initiate with or even Shockwave. Still, there may be instances where Purification is useful, but it should not be a typical pick.

Shell
Shell

This is a solid relic which provides a significant protections buff to you and allies in range for a short period. It can be used to help turn the tide of a teamfight or popped before going in to make an initiation safer. Not my typical choice, but worth a look.

Curse
Curse

A great relic against teams with lots of healing/self-healing and to add to your CC abilities by slowing and lessening the healing of all enemies within radius. Useful to work along with an initiation to give your team a better shot at keeping the enemy pinned down and keep them from surviving and encounter.

Conclusion

So, that's what I have on Geb, God of the Earth! He is a very good guardian and has a lot of useful abilities for helping your team out in a fight! Please let me know thoughts and give me suggestions on anything to improve. If you think I'm missing anything, let me know! I'll do my best to keep making this guide better. Autobots, Roll Out!

Thanks, Bran! It means a lot, you are one of the main ones that made me want to make a guide in the first place. And yeah, I think I need to work on how the Gameplay section looks, try to make it less of a wall.

OMG Spec's got a guide! Okay, I'm going home right now (from work), so can't read everything right now, but oh, I have expectations, I do. I expect this to be well thought out, and I expect I'll upvote.

I did peek in the spoilers, and have one minor suggestion...especially for early game...it's just one big chunk of text. Possible to split them into a couple of paragraphs or something?

It's looking good from what I can see, but in fairness will withhold vote until I actually read.

Edit: Okay, read it all. Familiar feeling, yet unique. Very clean BB Coding, doesn't seem like your first guide at all. In particular, I like HOW you describe everything. Fairly concise, but informative with a loose, comfortable feeling. And your level of understanding is great for the short amount of time you've been playing. I still don't know some mechanics of the game or certain gods very well.

Great job, if it wasn't understood above, +1.
