Moon gaming

Hewwo, this is my first guide and builds. They work really well for me and i'm having so much fun using them - i welcome feedback and i want to see what others think about it.

if there are any questions/suggestions i'm happy to answer and listen (especially from other Tsuku players since i don't consider myself the best Moon gamer lul)

Playstyle

I thought i will add some information on how i play him (and how i think he should be played) on these gamemodes. Tsukuyomi is a poke assassin - glass cannon with small amounts of HP but INSANE dmg. You're goal should be to keep ur distance!!! while throwing ur Dark Moon Shuriken and Silver Moon Caltrops as much as possible.

Defense
Tsuku don't have any way to run away so keeping distance is the most important thing - if u get into trouble: CC'ed - use Purification Beads and hope that ur team will protect u, Jumped/Chased - ur Kusarigama is the best tool when u have enemy on ur face, when u make some distance throw Silver Moon Caltrops under u since it have slow and at this point u should be able to escape with the help of ur team (if u need more slow, ur 2nd attack of Dark Moon Shuriken steals 25% movement speed)

Offence
As said earlier, poke ur enemies, if there is actual clash spam ur abilities (if u can throw AA between ur abilities). If u are sure that u are safe u can flank ur enemies and use ur Piercing Moonlight on their adc's and mages. This ult is super strong if u hit all of the beams. In early game keep it safe tho since u unlock ur full potential with more items u buy.

Small comments about Arena and Assault + Thankies

Arena: Keep ur eyes on the jungle. Grab Red buff and provide Blue and Speed attack buff for ur team. Ur clear is not super fast so ping if u want/need help from ur team or do it when the enemy team is distracted

Assault: Keep ur eyes on the heals. U are not a guardian/warrior so u can't really steal them if u are under ur tower but ping it when they are about to show up. After u go in u will mostly likely be left with under 50% of health - u can still provide value with ur pokes and u might not die and be stuck behind 1 min respawn time




If u made it here then u are a champ - i hope u have more light on how to play him in all the chaos on arena and assault. I myself am casual player with not some huge experience 1 bilion hours but recently i have been enjoying this game as Tsuku so there u go that's why i did that guide. i'm sorry if there are any mistakes in my grammar or my text seems like all over the place, i'm not a native speaker and some god in english. Have a nice day and GL - Mani

Hey Fluffy,

Overall I think the build is okay, but I personally would change it a bit. In an Arena setting, you can get so much extra damage by spamming abilities, and you're going to be able to do that more if you've got more CDR. Here, your first CDR item is...sort of Trans. But it takes you getting the stacks to gain the CDR, in which case you might finish Hydra's before that. And while the high power is nice, and while you can run out of mana here and there, I wouldn't consider Trans a core item.

Best case here is to rush CDR IMO. Either order of Jotunn's Wrath and Hydra's Lament as your first 2 main items is the way to go. In the case you determine you want some lifesteal, you can grab Soul Eater after that (or before that if you really want), as that's easy to stack, and is a good choice as it provides % pen and CDR.

IMO your core items are Bluestone Brooch, Jotunn's Wrath, Hydra's Lament, and Heartseeker. Your other 2 items are situational but likely should involve 2 of these 3 items: The Crusher, Brawler's Beat Stick, and Soul Eater. You'll get a minimum 30% pen, minimum 30% CDR, some flat pen, and good tick damage. Based on these items, I wouldn't include Aron, Serrated or TB. If you don't need anti-heal and don't want SE, then you could consider BF as a 4th situational item.

Hewwo Muffin,

Thanks for your comment. I played few games with what you recommended and well i agree on with what you are saying. I'm gonna change the build but i will keep what i created as a more "hybrid" or "wild" option. Gonna put what are you saying here and give you credit.

No need to give me credit, but glad you were willing to try and it sounds like it's worked for you, which is good!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
