Introduction

My second SMITEFire build Guide, So still learning teh ropes O u O.
I'm a Vll Hades, To me I think solo hades is better. It just all depends
on what you prefer.
**Sorry if this isn't as Decorative as other Builds**
Plain & Simple, wins the Race.

Items

For the Other Item's, Mantle of Discord is Obviously meant for Loki,
Spear of Desolation is just a Replacement item and so is Soul Reaver.

Now the Other Active's, these are just Replacements.
(Whatever you think works best for Hades!)

Skills

How to Hades, it's pretty self explanatory. Just use your
1, 2, 3, Then Ult... I know simple.

Now if you get, Blink & Shell, Do this-
1. Blink in
2. Use Shell
3. Ult
4. After that just use your whole kit.

OR

1. Blink
2. Use Shell
3. Use your whole kit
4. Then Ult

Pros / Cons

**If the Assassins and Hunter's are too much of a Problem, Get Soul Reaver!**

You mentioned at some point that the combo should be 1,2,3,4, but if you would do this, you would consume the blight with your 3 ability and this means that your ult no longer debuffs protections. In a team fight, -30 protections for 4 seconds seems better than the damage from the 3, especially if you would build Void Stone or Spear of the Magus (both seem to work well with Hades). Not to mention you can still detonate the blight after the ult, since blight lasts for 8s and ult only 4.

I think the following combos might be better:

1,4,2,3 (ensures the highest chance of getting a better ult and the enemies will also be grouped afterwards for 2-3 combo)

1,2,4,3 (ensures that you will most likely still get a good ultimate, while also protecting yourself by silencing the opponents first; also, the blight can still get detonated after ult)

1,3,2,4 (i don't like this one as much, but at least you re-apply the blight after consuming it with your 3, so you still get the protection reduction on your ult; the problem with this one is that the enemies have more time to scatter before you ult)

All of the above are mostly theorycrafting, as I have not yet tested them extensively enough to reach the best results, so I am interested in other people's output on this one.

Can i change Spear for Obsidian ? And this build can work also in normal arena and Joust?

As other people previously mentioned, both Void Stone and Spear of the Magus work better on Hades, since they synergize a lot better with his ult.

Your main job is making them as much of sitting ducks as you possibly can, so your team mates can bash on the enemy team.

Thus, the protections reduction from Void Stone or Spear of the Magus would be a lot more useful than the Obsidian Shard's penetration, which only applies for you, especially combined with the protection reduction from your ultimate as well. Shard would work better in duel and maybe Joust.

I honestly think is better than on , since his only DoT is his ult.

Kuku have a good dot with his tornado and still a better choice to get nowadays, is not a bad item but there are better ones IMO

I would maybe go for CDR since you basically have none. If this is a pure glass cannon build then go for it, though get boots second before stacking again.

Nah still works well with cause of ult. And do not forgot the 3 explosion from blights. It can proc quite easily.

As a tip i recommend you to take a look at the nerf of the spear of the magus:
https://m.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/4562sd/new_spear_of_the_magus_vs_old_one/
I would recommend Obsidisn Shard or Void Stone if you need some protecion, also works good with your ult range.
