Choose your glpyh based on your opponent. If they have a lot of CC, I like to go Sturdy Shard so that I can brawl easier, otherwise go Horn Shard

Corrupted Bluestone can be stacked very easily by King Arthur, making it very useful in late-game teamfights.
Shield of the Phoenix is a recent re-addition to Smite which works kind of like OG Glad Shield, allowing Arthur to sustain while spamming abilities. It's very fun to use.
Reverent Pridwen can be played around Arthur very well due to his ability to spam ultimates. The shield that you acquire as well as the slow that occurs when the shield explodes make it very easy to run down opponents.
Gladiator's Shield is always a strong item on brawling warriors that allows them to build completely into protections.
Amulet of the Stronghold not only helps you, but also your teammates in teamfights. The glyph helps your physical-protection-focused build cover magical protections as well.
Oni Hunter's Garb provides amazing damage mitigation for team fights.
Greater Shield of Thorns and just spin at people, but use whatever you find useful.

For your final relic, I always find it fun to go Greater Shield of Thorns and just spin at people, but use whatever you find useful.

Pestilence is going to be your go-to anti-heal item. If you need to build it, I would always replace Reverent Pridwen as it should impact Gladiator's Shield the least.
Breastplate of Determination is a very strong item to use when you face another ability-based solo-laner such as 
Mulan or another King Arthur. If you build it, I would again replace Reverent Pridwen. Hopefully you don't have to build both Breastplate and Pestilence. If you do, switch out whatever you feel is best.

Hi, I'm IHateZeus, I've been playing Smite for a couple of years now and King Arthur has always been a god I enjoyed playing. I will preface any incoming information with the fact that I am a 
Kukulkan main and this is my first build on SmiteFire, so forgive me if it's not very competitive. This build is just something that I freestyled while playing a Conquest game and I enjoyed playing it and thought I would share it. It allows Arthur to just spin into any teamfight he sees and sustain for a while without getting absolutely shredded. Hope yall give it a try!
With this build you are pretty much just running at people's faces and spamming abilities, which is entirely what King Arthur does. Your early game may be a little precarious as you are lacking in protections and damage, but as soon as Shield of the Phoenix comes online, you will be able to sustain in lane for a long time and hopefully poke/punish greedy opponents. Make sure you place down wards so you don't get ganked, and spam your ultimate pretty much as often as possible. It has no cooldown, and it charges as you spin around your enemy, so don't be stingy with it.

While the general items in this guide at the top are mostly the same as another recent Arthur guide (as well as the weird skill leveling), note that people can offer the same builds overall. Only plagiarism is not allowed...you have to write your own descriptions and explanations.
However, there are quite a few differences...
- Writeups in notes and the body are different.
- Zeus' guide here has different relics.
- Zeus' guide has an additional build against magical solos, and situational items.
- The two guides have different gods recognized for synergies and counters.
As such, there are no official issues here, though I do think one may have copied the other with regard to skill leveling. Again, I think the leveling order is funky. Typically you prioritize the 1 for the wave clear and easy poke. I wouldn't level the 3 first because it can be easily interrupted by certain skills, cutting the ability short.The leveling is a bit off because I mapped the chart directly in the website, I should’ve tracked my upgrades in game and copied them here. I will update it
In this case for KA, strongly suggest following that route and maxing his 1 first...the main portion (
The reason you don't prioritize the 3 is because depending on the god, they can often jump out of range so you don't deal the full damage, or they have a stun, silence, etc., that can interrupt the channel. It also costs more and has a longer CD.
