Obsidian Danzaburou Carry Build

Hey, this guide is brought to you by TottiGR! I started playing Smite on PC in February 2014. I have been playing competitive since 2016 and I have been a professional Smite player between March 2020 to July 2023. I have played in different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans this last year in the Smite Pro League (You can always check the SmiteVod Youtube Channel where there's my proffesional games recorded). I have peaked 3500 MMR GrandMaster/Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC plataform every season since 2017 (SEASON 4). I also made Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022 so I really think I have the knowledge in guiding about the ADC role in SMITEGAME. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Danzaburou as an ADC.

If you use Aspect of Fellowship, instead of throwing a sake bottle which taunts the enemies, you generate two clones that fits perfectly with the passive, you can stack all of the clones so you can have a lot of Danzaburou's clones hitting the same target.

• Start at the purple buff then go to the wave with your support, push two waves so you will get level 2 and then if you have won the pressure go to the central buff, do it and then comeback to lane.
  
  
• In case you have lost the pressure try to contest the central buff fighting the enemies or play passively and go to the right neutral camp that will give you some experience and gold.
  
  
• During the early game phase remember to push waves and then do your right back camps because they will give you an small lead over the enemies. Ward duo site of the map and try to fight over the central buff camp.
  
• Remember as Danzaburou that you can always use your ultimate skill Uproarious Rocket to escape from enemies or to do engage on them. You can also use Tanuki Trickery as a peeling skill because will have no movement penalty while using basic attacks and as soon as you go away from the range of the skill you will convert yourself into a leaf that will be immune to towers or phoenixes in case you are getting chased this information IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
  
• From here you will usually fight the enemy ADC and support during wave pushes in lane with your own support. Most of the fights you should take are around the central buff camp or the experience camp in the right site of the duo lane and depending on yours and their early pressure/clear around your own purple buff or theirs (remember you can burst easily the the purple buff with your starter item).
  
  
• This ADC has a really good fighting kit of skills so you should be always looking to fight 1vs1 the other ADC (if you are ahead). I need to clarify that if you don't wave any wards spotted on the map remember you should always take care of it. Just be confident during laning phase, your confidence will play a really good paper on succeeding, so just try it out. If you don't risk you will never achieve :p.
  
  
• An important advice as an ADC main is to be active in communication, always try to tell all the information you can to your team like your own purple, neutral camps and their purple timer (if possible), if there is any one spotted in the wards you placed, if someone is trying to dive you, if they are doing Gold Fury... This type of information will make your jungler and support pathing to gank your lane easier and make you having bigger chances of getting a lead over the other ADC.
  
  
• REMEMBER to always buy wards, warding correctly with aggressive Sentry Wards will determine half of the game around the Gold Fury objective and warding defensively will make you be more aware about possible ganks so you will be safer in lane.

• As the match goes towards the mid game, other than the usual farm opportunities you'll be looking to rotate over the Pyromancer for your team and try attempt, contest and steal (if the enemy is attempting to kill them) the Gold Fury.
  
  
• Remember to rotate when there is no duo jungle remain like purple or neutral buff camp and to have the wave pushed before rotating because you will fall much behind in farm compared to your enemy ADC. (DO NOT ROTATE IF YOU ARE 2 OR MORE LEVELS BEHIND THE OTHER ADC!)
  
  
• As for Gold Fury opportunity they will vary on factors such as: your team's overall objective shred, your ADC's current objective shred / build, your team's map pressure, how strong each team's teamfight is, where on the map everyone is (i.e. if one team is doing Gold, the other may decide to do Pyromancer as a smaller trade), if any members of the enemy team are on a respawn timer, etc...
  
  
• It is so important to have warded (with Sentry Wards if possible) the Gold Fury during the Mid Game because it is the principal objective between minute 10 to 20 with the Pyromancer.
  
  
• Stay aware of rotations (jungle and support) during this minutes because your death as ADC will be a really good factor over pulling Gold Fury or even burst it. So your team won't have any chance of contest.
  
  
• Not dying over rotations, map awareness and warding are highly important over the games. You will always need to position yourself beside de midlaner for peeling each other over team fights (call who is doing engage on you, relics and this type of stuff that is going to make an easier way to make your team win the team fight)

• As for late game teamfights, most often you will be positioned in the "backline" (behind your team's solo and support - who generally are the "frontline") and will play around your midlaner to deal with the enemy frontline and jungler, while making sure to put out as much damage as possible to the highest threats on the enemy team.
  
  
• Make sure you have able your actives: Purification Beads, Aegis of Acceleration or Phantom Shell before going into the Fire Giant. I really good advice is to use actives as soon as the solo laner, support or jungler engages on you to try to avoid as much damage and crowd control as possible, if you stay safe as an ADC on a late game teamfight, your team will have enough DPS to do Fire Giant or if you kill all your enemies, you can even finish the game.
  
  
• When it comes to Fire Giant opportunities, often there can be stalemates where both teams will try to force a teamfight or look for lone picks in order to gain an advantage, sometimes involving one team going for a non fully committing attempt at doing the objective to bait the other team to step up.
  
  
• BE CONSTANTLY CALLING ALL THE INFORMATION: WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGING ON YOU, BE ALWAYS SURE ABOUT YOUR DECISION MAKING, IF YOU DOUBT YOURSELF OR EVEN YOUR TEAMMATES YOU WILL NEVER SUCCED!
