transforms into which provides you and your allies protections once fully stacked, since it's an aura item. This is very crucial on just about every support.

Lastly, because you have 50 gold to spare, getting a or 2 will help gain awareness on early jungle ganks. See the warding section below on where to place it.

Relics & Shard

Notes is really nice to have on because when you blink it leaves a trail of fire that you can push the enemy into, dealing true damage and up to 900 of it. It's also a good way to get to the enemy carries which is how you want to play Kuzenbo.

thorns of sapping strength is a staple item on . It reflects damage and limits lifesteal healing. So combing this with his second ability and you can solo carries and reduce their healing like crazy if you have paired with it.

Intro / About Me

Hey there, I go by Dashboarrd and I'm a Grandmaster Support Conquest player. I've competed in the SCC (Smite Challenger Circuit) and I have won SOC (Smite Open Circuit). I have also won plenty of gem tourneys during the weekends, such as Iced and Vulpis. I have put in many hours into Smite and in particular Kuzenbo. I hope this guide can give you some new direction with Kuzenbo if you're struggling with him, or just improve your overall Kuzenbo gameplay.

You can reach out to me via the following channels:

Abilities

Kuzenbo's Abilities

Passive -

's passive allows him to be extremely tanky, giving him up to 15% damage mitigation.

This passive is pretty self explanatory, just be wary when you're into characters that "move you" you lose stacks, which means you lose mitigations.

Ability 1 -

Nene is considered a "pet" and it's a smaller Turtle he throws out. When it hits the target it slows them, dealing initial burst damage and auto damage while it's alive. You can also bounce this from walls creating really good camp clear since it does damage each time it goes through the buff.

I would suggest using this to tank towers, and throwing it out as a temporary mobile ward when in the jungle to see if enemies are around corners.

Ability 2 -

This ability defines Kuzenbo. It's a reflect ability that reflects 35% of the damage he takes PRE-MITIGATION back to the target. Use this when you know you're about to get heavily bursted or you're in front of their ADC.

It also lowers all his cooldowns per tic, allowing you to get you're abilities back up almost instantly besides his ult.

Ability 3 -

Just a simple ability that allows Kuzenbo to push the first target he latches onto. If you push them through minions then you do extra damage. Also, your spikes (2nd ability) lowers this cooldown when in use, so if you push then use your spikes, you'll be able to get push back up instantly assuming they hit you.

Ultimate -

Kuzenbo's ultimate gives him CC immunity and allows him to spin around and knock-up targets. He also gets additional damage mitigation while channeling this ability. Use this when you get in between a ton of people to cause the most destruction. Can also use this ability for chase.

Map Play

Game Start:

Support should start purple and pull it outwards. In this time your ADC should be pulling Green and dragging it towards you. When both buffs are grouped, as you clear them pull them towards the lane. Watch out for invades!
From here you should be sitting in duo lane for a majority of the early game. You want to stay there to contest protection (or shield) buff and pressure with your ADC. If you have enough pressure you can also invade their camps, such as Purple buff and their backcamps, even Green buff.

Mid Game:

Around the mid game you want to now start to play around the middle of the map as more objectives are spawning now.
These objectives consist of Beacon, Oracle, and Pyromancer. Try to pressure mid t1 tower too if your team has the pressure for it. Once that's down it creates map pressure from mid lane.

Teamfights (Late Game):

Here you want to make sure to use your kit effectively. Kuzenbo is great at starting a fight. He has some of the highest tankiness in he game and his engage is pretty good. Make sure to use your 2nd ability accordingly. This can make or break your engage and ability to live. Use this as your taking tick damage or you know you're about to get bursted down for maximum damage dealt.

Warding

Early / Mid Game Warding:

That ward you're buying in the early game, you want to place it at the area between their purple and shield camp about 23 seconds or so before the game actually starts, if you think you'll have pressure.

If you don't think you'll have pressure, place that same ward on your side in the same area about 10 seconds prior to the game starting. This will give you early gank info.

As you're playing through duo lane you really want to ward their backcamps for info for your team. Get 2 wards, typically after you buy Thebes, and place them at their purple buff or their back camps and their green buff.

Try to refresh these wards as often as you can. They give very good info on where the enemy jungler is at and if the enemy team is mobilizing towards duo side to setup for a Gold Fury.

In the map below, the red circles indicate the spots that you should ward aggressively and the blue circles indicate the spots you should ward passively.

Late Game Warding:

Of course this depends where you're at in the game. But around fire giant, same concept. Try to get high wards around their backcamps, red, and even blue buff to give your team info.

On offensive sieges, try to place a sentry ward between their phoenixes that you're about to siege to gain info on people playing that gap. These wards are indicated by the Red circles on the map.

On defensive sieges, place a sentry between phoenixes they're about to siege so you and your team can play that gap area without worry. These wards are indicated by the Blue circles on the map.
