Warriors Blessing Chalice and Pots. You'll have a weaker start but better sustain.
Warrior's Blessing
Chalice of Healing
Healing Potion
Void shield if Physical. Genji if magical. Black Thorn for health and passive. Ill somtimes wait to build boots.
Gladiator's Shield
Warrior Tabi
Void Shield
Genji's Guard
Blackthorn Hammer
Teleport is a must in my opinion. The rest is situation or dependent on how I want to play out the matchups.
Teleport Fragment
Heavenly Wings
Shield of Thorns
Magic Shell
Horrific Emblem
These are some obvious choices for good reason. One thing I rarely see is spectral armor but it can help a lot against carries who are criting hard and shredding your protections.
Pestilence
Spectral Armor
Midgardian Mail
Hide of the Nemean Lion
Depending on the game Ill usually switch out some items for one or more of these.
Soul eater plus glad shield is a nasty combo and can help you late game.
Crusher and brawler both proc on abilities.
Thebes is nice for the health and protections it offers.
Runeforged hammer is nice do to his cc
Spirit robe for extra protections in fights.
Soul Eater
The Crusher
Brawler's Beat Stick
Gauntlet of Thebes
Runeforged Hammer
Spirit Robe
Hide of the Urchin
Sell boots for spirit robe. Also could sell off void shield for more damage as this still provides a little more than 200 phys defense.
Gladiator's Shield
Spirit Robe
Void Shield
Blackthorn Hammer
Genji's Guard
Mantle of Discord
Sell boots for a different item of your choice. Ill choose crusher sometimes.
Gladiator's Shield
The Crusher
Genji's Guard
Blackthorn Hammer
Mantle of Discord
Gauntlet of Thebes
This is a build Ill end up with a lot of the time to keep myself alive in the fights. Also has full cooldown.
Gladiator's Shield
Spirit Robe
Blackthorn Hammer
Mantle of Discord

My name is WiltotheShire bringing you a guide on King Arthur.
Arthur is well Arthur and does Arthur things such as spinning to win and anime ulting his opponents. Jokes aside he is a physical based god with a variety of abilities set on auto meaning, you click a button and off you go. Combining these abilities together is the key to building energy and then burning it by ulting, which the anime ult has no cooldown. He is an in your face god applying enormous pressure in the front line and bulling the back line squishes to his hearts content. Once you grasp his play style he is incredibly fun to play.

skillsArthur is an in your face god who applies a lot of pressure to enemy gods, he has to be in order to build his energy up. Getting a point in all of your abilities is key right from the start then building your 1 fully first then the 3 followed by your ult and then the 2. I find this build to be the most efficient for me. Item wise building tanky is a good start if you are still learning him, as you gain more experience you can start building more bruiser.
CDR is always nice on Arthur but isn't a must for him. Overall its your play style so find what works for you. I tend to be super aggressive myself.
Gladiator's Shield This item is a must. The passive it provides by healing 2.5 percent of health and mana is key in team fights. It procs on every of his abilities but not only that it also procs on every god that is hit. So it stacks per god. So if you hit 3 gods with one ability. that is 7.5 percent of health and mana that you get back. It has saved me in team fights more than I can count. Warrior Tabi As far as boots go this is prolly the better option for the power boost. Straight forward really movement speed power and sold for a different item late on. Void Shield If the Solo laner is physical I almost always go void shield for the extra damage and defenses. The passive works well to weaken the enemy gods defenses as well. This allows for more pressure in lane. Genji's Guard So when you are facing a magical solo this is the item I usually go for my initial magic defense. It provides defenses health and cool-down reduction so you are able to combo abilities more often which is always good for Arthur. The passive takes time off your cooldowns if you are hit by a magical ability. I almost always have this item in my builds cause it is a good magical defense item as well as on being on the cheaper side. Blackthorn Hammer Some people ask why blackthorn hammer. Well for me its mainly for the health which as you know from glad shield the more health the more you heal up. It's passive is nice allowing Arthur to stay in lane longer because of the mana sustain when mana is low. Pestilence The obvious reason why you would build pestilence is for the anti heal which reduces healing done by gods in range. The health boost is also a nice plus. Spectral Armor To often I find myself being straight shredded by hunter and auto attack gods. This items make them do half their normal crit damage which can save your life if you are trying to fight or get away. Also since CC is crippling to Arthur the CC reduction helps with that. Midgardian Mail This item is good for keeping the auto attack gods off your back, not much to it really just reduced their movement speed and attack speed. The health is nice however for glad shield procs. Hide of the Nemean Lion This item is to help counter auto attack gods as well by reflecting 25 percent of auto attack damage. Soul Eater Why soul eater. well when its built your abilities heal you for 15 percent of the damage dealt. Great way to heal off minion waves and combine with glad shield in team fights makes you difficult to kill. Cooldown and extra power are also beneficial. The Crusher I get crusher on occasion if I want more power. The pen is nice but the attack speed does nothing really. As for the passive it procs on every ability and damages an enemy god for 20 physical plus 15 percent of your power. It can add up over time. If I do buy this items its usually after boots are sold. Brawler's Beat Stick This item you would build to counter healing as it procs on abilities which Arthur has 8 of. So its a nice replacement for crusher if need be or if your team needs anti heals. If I do buy this items its usually after boots are sold. Gauntlet of Thebes Gauntlet of Thebes is one of my favorite items if not my most favorite defense item. With the buff it now gives you even more health but isn't really useful in the lane phase as you need passive stacks. it provides hp5 275 health and 50 physical and magical defense once stacked as well as an aura for your teammates. It is a nice item for late game but difficult to get stacked in the solo lane. If I do buy this items its usually after boots are sold. Runeforged Hammer Runeforged hammer gives you power health and a nice passive that procs on 2 of Arthur's abilities. The 15 percent extra damage on cc targets can go a long way however if I do buy this items its usually after boots are sold. Spirit Robe This item is a good overall Item for Arthur is provides defense for both physical and magical. It also provides cooldown and cc reduction which goes a long way on Arthur. Its passive provides damage mitigation when hit by hard CC which can save your life. If I do buy this items its usually after boots are sold. Mantle of Discord Mantle is usually my last or second to last Item built most of the time after blackthorn hammer lately. The defense it provides is great. It adds to the cooldown redcution and if you take damage below 30 percent it stuns enemy gods around you for one second and makes you cc immune. This passive can be devastating in a fight especially since you can then land you abilities and heal from glad shield allowing you to comeback on the opponent/opponents. A must have in my opinion. Gladiator's Shield Mantle of Discord Genji's Guard

In team fights you as Arthur want to bully the backline and keep your squishes alive. With Arthur's mobility it is easy to bully the enemy backline and disrupt the team fights. As Arthur you can easily 2v1 enemy gods, depending on the comp that is. With healing from glad shield and constant pressure you are a nightmare to deal with, and in my opinion can easily dominate almost any mage/assassin and some warriors, guardians and hunters. BULLY THE BACKLINE and you'll be set.
You are The One True King. Arthur is a bruiser, you stay in the fight and disrupt the enemy team by forcing other gods to peel in order to deal with the constant pressure you put out. Being able to rush in and attack the backline is key as well as fun! Chaining your abilities and avoiding the cc if you can and you can dominate the enemy team. Just make sure to keep that energy up.
Using one of my builds, Stat wise I did pretty good, we got too aggressive with little people up and lost..

Great guide, love the work you put into it
I hope some of the ability spammers read your guide and learn about correctly playing :)
Why does your "Example Final late game build" still have
Like I said in another comment glad shield procs on all 8 of Arthurs abilites making it very useful. It is in my opinion a must have for Arthur all game. It is kind of OP on him. Of course if they run anti heal thats then you might need to build differently. Really
As for
Let me phrase that I sell boots for these items as well
But that's an Arthur skin though.
