Notes
This build should be the same on almost every game, the only thing that changes it's the priority within the items:
Jotunn's Wrath 10 Flat pen + 20%cdr are both really strong stats for the early game, I would definitly pick jotunn's every single game but If u wanna get even more movement Stone Cutting Sword it's a good alternative

Hydra's Lament Helps a lot on mana sustain and early fights, make sure to run it against AA gods, like Mercury/ Bakasura

Arondight Essential Nemesis item that works really nice when ganking solo/duo laners with dashes or jumps

Serrated Edge The best item on the build by far, perfect stats for any jungler right now and your main %pen item for any build

Last item can be flex, I would suggest The Crusher on this case for the extra attack speed but there's other ofensive options like Bloodforge, Duality, etc

Can mix defensive items like Shifter's Shield

Alternatives

Notes Bumba's Hammer Works pretty well with Hydra's Lament so make sure to run both on your build, the build usually goes the same as Protector Of The Jungle ones

Ichaival: An early game item that makes a good synergy with Stone Cutting Sword and can be taken into attack speed builds , but its not that strong on late game so I would suggest to replace it once your build is full

Shifter's Shield: Defensive/Offensive item with great stats for any instance of the game, this a most to buy with any god right now

Magi's Cloak: Defensive item ideal against to hard cc comps

Nemesis's Skill Order Notes In my opinion, its better to max Divine Judgement at level 13-14 and this is only because it adds extra movement speed into pairs 10/10/15/15/20% and for me this should be 10/12.5/15/17.5/20%, but idk just give prior on Slice and Dice and Retribution on early/mid game and then max ult at 13/14/17/20

Intro


Nemesis
"Goddess of divine retribution"




This is a strong midgame/lategame god, really difficult to stop her once she ults someone. So powerfull in the 1v1s and long trades

Remember that the builds are situational and you can buy whatever you want

I hope this build helps you with your games and have fun!

Tips

Tips for Nemesis in general gameplay


Build


Nem usually benefits more from AS and MS (and flat pen obviously) because of her passive Scales of Fate and her ult Divine Judgement, it's because of this that items like Arondight and maybe Ichaival are perfect for the early/mid game phases with this god, granting all what you need in order to stack your passive faster and make full usage of your ult in a short time

Defensive item's like Magi's Cloak provides cc immunity that synergies with nem's 3 Retribution, this is also essential against certain jg god's like Kali/Merc in order to 1v1 them properly.
Other items like Shifter's Shield are popping on popularity for the broken stats that it has, making your snowball potential to increase drastically against the enemy jungler

Any assassin can purchase Fail-Not now, synergizing a lot with nem ult which has low cdr and its also unitarget (%20 cdr its broken)

Hydra's Lament it's another controversial option at least for a few people, on this case it's important to know how to cancel basics in order to take full advantage from it's passive and once done it's clearly noticeable what's this item is capable of



Abilities


Passive - Scales of Fate It's really important when trading on any stage of the game to stack your passive before using any other ability on someone, keep that in mind when you're about to burst someone (Don't spread your basics like nothing, focus on one target at a time)

1st Ability - Swift Vengeance This dash it's one of your biggest weapons on the early game if used correctly, canceling basics within dashes can make the difference within a kill or not. I would personally recommend to keep it as a last resource when fighting and use it as an scape in most of the times

2nd Ability - Slice and Dice Not much to say about this ability, just make sure to land on the center properly and remember that it would be easier to hit if you keep it at max range

3rd Ability - Retribution The most powerful 1v1 non-ultimate ability on the game, be sure to use it when it cant be canceled and to reflect the maximum amount of damage. It's perfect for baiting certain abilities when you're low on HP and diving into towers

Ultimate - Divine Judgement Just use it on those who cant really scape from you being mostly hunters/mages and with tanks that are bad positioned. On ganks, wait for your target to waste any escape or get overextended so it would be easier to chase with your full kit... (It can be purified with beads and cc immune ults like Hachiman/ Fenrir)

I agree with that and I would like to see the full build... maybe something like this:

Protector Of The Jungle - Hydra's Lament - Bloodforge - Serrated Edge - The Crusher - Arondight
or
Protector Of The Jungle - Hydra's Lament - Bloodforge - Arondight - Serrated Edge - The Crusher

And speaking of Jotunn's Wrath, we know that right now, it's not the best option to buy, but I'm gonna let it be on this build for now, I'll put Hydra's Lament in there too instead of having The Crusher and in any case, I will change it on the next patch depending on how it goes

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.
