Ravana Build

Damage

Notes Damage focused variation:
Heartseeker > Spirit Robe > Arondight > Mail of Renewal > Runeforged > Jotunn's

Replacing Mail of Renewal with Caduceus is great when you have a healer or other self healers, especially if someone built Rod of Asclepius.
Replacing Runeforge and Jotunn's with Transcendence and Winged Blade helps you deal with slows, and trades some pen for higher power to focus squishies.

For longer game modes, Bumba's Hammer is an obvious choice, and frees up some of your item choices. All variations of this build work extremely well with Bumba's Hammer but I don't like how long I have to wait for the last 20% CDR. If you have the gold at level 20, sell 20% of your CDR (or Jotunn's if that's what you're using) and enjoy your practically 0s cooldown 1.

Defensive

Notes Defensive variations:
Heartseeker > Spirit Robe > Arondight > Gladiator's > Genji's > Sledge.

Max CDR (plus Genji passive) and CCR. Extra damage to <60% health enemies to secure kills.
Kusari can replace Genji's, and Runeforged or Frostbound can replace Sledge. The CCR from Sledge is super valuable, but the debuffs from Frostbound, or the extra damage from Runeforged can make all the difference based on the situation.

Basic attack focused variation

Notes This build is less fleshed out but has potential. In the middle of a fight, even with max CDR, your ability cooldowns seem to take forever (with the exception of your 1). All the variations of this build take in to account that you will need to use basics to get things done sometimes, this one more so. This version of Ravana feels more like an assassin. Get in then get out, or die.

Crit based variation:
Kusari > Malice > Wind Demon > Spirit Robe > Heartseeker > Arondight

Kusari is a good item to start with. Malice and Wind Demon are core for the crit version but their order isn't as important. I still like Spirit Robe for the damage mitigation and CDR I think it's perfect for Ravana. Heartseeker is core as well, if you're getting max CDR you'll want it, only possible other switch would be a health focused build with Animosity, but I prefer Bumba's Hammer if you're going to use a starter.

Non-crit variation:
Genji's > Heartseeker > Ichaival > Spirit Robe > Jotunn's > Executioner.

Qin's in place of Executioner to shred tanks. I'm sure I'll get some hate for having Heartseeker and Qin's but **** it, it works.

Build concept explanation

This won't be an in-depth guide, and it's far from comprehensive, just explaining the concept of the build and you can take it from there and make it your own.

This build is focused on ability damage and sustain, but peppering in basic attack boosters work well too since you should be at least getting the two quick punches in between ability casts. He's good at skirting the edge of a teamfight, or quick in and outs to dump your kit, and doesn't have to return to fountain as much, just self-heal off a row of minions. I use my ult to chase 2+ low health enemies, to initiate 2nd (after another teammate initiates, if the enemies group together), and sometimes as an escape since it makes you cc immune (the CD isn't that bad, and it doesn't feel like a waste since your just utilizing it defensively for the leap and mitigations).

Core:

    Heartseeker for extra ability damage since this is a lower power build.

    Spirit Robe for protections and damage mitigation when cc'd, which is inevitable. You can also use Mantle of Discord, but if you do I would get some CCR elsewhere.

    Arondight for your primary source of power, and a little buff when you ult. Transcendence also works if you have a few other mana items, otherwise the Arondight passive will usually beat it out. I wouldn't recommend Devourers or Bloodforge, the lifesteal isn't going to do much for you.

    Very optional: Soul Eater works really well for this build but it's hard to work in without sacrificing something else. Healing from all of your abilities really helps with sustain and especially escapes when your health is low and you 2 is on cd. Definitely more useful on higher damage variations of this build, or with Caduceus in combination with a teammate with Rod of Asclepius.

This build was theorycrafted and tested in Arena, but I'm confident it would do well in any game mode. Conquest might require switching up the order, but I feel mp5 is always super valuable at the start of all modes, especially when you have a self heal, and especially when you have a self heal, a root, cc immunity, and a slow.

His whole kit can be used offensively or defensively, and he plays best when you're also using basic attacks between casts. I've done my best here to build around that to make full use of his kit.

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.
