For Non-tablet build start Conduit Gem, Lost Artifact, 2 Healing Potions, 2 Multi Potions.
Can swap Staff of Myrddin for Divine Ruin for Anti-Heal.
Can swap Book of Thoth for Divine Ruin or Spear of Desolation.
Can swap Staff of Myrddin for Perfected Rod of Tahuti (get last).
Can swap Obsidian Shard for Charon's Coin.
Book of Thoth is the typical go to option with Pendulum of Ages/ The Alternate Timeline builds, and you'll also need Divine Ruin most games.
If Anti-Heal isn't needed, you can trade Divine Ruin for Spear of Desolation.
If Anti-Heal is needed, you can trade Soul Gem or Staff of Myrddin for Divine Ruin.
Replace Horn Shard at level 12 for Aegis Amulet.
Upgrade relics to their upgraded versions once you're full build. Temporal Beads especially is the more important relic upgrade to prioritise.
Perfected Rod of Tahuti - More CDR / utility focused glyph option compared to Calamitous Glyph, with good synergy with Chronos' Pendant and Spear of Desolation.
Calamitous Rod of Tahuti - More direct damage glyph option compared to Perfected Glyph.
Charon's Coin - Alternative to Obsidian Shard if you want more MP5 / potential mobility.
Pendulum of Ages - More damage focused Sands of Time upgrade.
Spear of Desolation - Solid flat pen option with a passive that works great on Merlin, more often seen when Divine Ruin is not needed.
Ethereal Staff - Niche anti-tank bruiser option.
(Can max 2 before 1 if sitting in Ice stance more early)
Hi, this guide is brought to you by Kriega1, I started playing Smite on PS4 in 2016 around Erlang Shen's release in Season 3, and eventually long term migrated to PC Smite around mid Season 7. I have peaked GM/Masters on PS4 and Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC. I also am a Mentor on the Official Smite Discord where I focus on general building for each role. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Merlin in the Mid lane.
