OMG! Overwatch is FUN! I may not play it, but watching it and keeping up with the news on it just makes me feel immersed. I mean, who doesn't wanna be Reaper, or Reinhardt, or Zenyatta? Leave in the comments, if you do play Overwatch, what your favorite classes are, and who your favorite hero is. Me, Soldier for offense, Hanzo for Defense, D.Va for Tank, and Zenyatta for Support. Today, we will review Ao Kuang, and his similarity to the Shimada Brothers.
Anyone remember RetrAo Kuang?
Passive: King's Sword
When you spawn, you get 3 charges on your sword. Each charge can be used on an ability to increase its damage by 5%. When out of combat, it takes 5 seconds to fully recharge one charge. When out of mana, charges can be used to cast abilities.
Oh man. I'm sweating after those abilities up there. I hope that after reading those, that the builds make much more sense.
Build 1: Genji
In Overwatch, Genji Shimada is a cyborg ninja that throws ninja stars and can double. So you can imagine that speed is key. With both Telkhines Ring and Demonic Grip, your basic attacks will deal extra magical damage, and will shred protections. With your 2-3 combo, you've already taken off a quarter of their protections and applied Polynomicon's damage. If you're looking for cheaping alternatives, Spear of Magus stacks flat penetration instead of percentage, and Dynasty Plate Helm gives even more penetration and some physical protections on the side. Also, Winged Blade is to help you in case you are fleeing and get hit by an ability that slows.
Gotta give props to the skin designers: they know how to make some dragons.
Thank you for reading my guide. If you want to comment, please do so in a respectable manner. Personally, these builds have worked for me, so they're just suggestions. On the case of relics, Purification may help you against a high CC team, as it can give those needed 2 seconds of decreased to no damage. If you'd like, check out my other guides on Agni, Cupid, Mercury, Ravana, and Ymir. Good luck, have fun, and drink some IceColdPappsi if you get tilted.
I would like to thank TechnoToad64 for helping me polish the build to what it is now.
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.

If you want a section on skins, maybe you should put it in a spoiler.? I mean, half the guide's length is the skin images. And some of us are on metered internet.
Yes, I did mean for you to change all instances of Fatalis. But not necessarily to Winged Blade. Witchblade and ritual dagger are also good options. Seeing as how you have two options for each build, for being behind or ahead, I think Winged when you want movement speed, Witch for a tankier build, and Ritual for the CDR build.
EDIT: Adding ritual dagger to the Hanzo build would give you maximum CDR without overcapping.
Pharah, Reinhardt, Torb/Junkrat, Symmetra
Although to be fair I play pretty much every character. Even in ranked I play every offense hero except mccree, every tank and every healer (I tend to avoid the defense class in ranked, but I play all of them in qplay).
I would choose a favorite healer, but honestly I just really like all of them.
Also, just like Technotoad64 said, Polynomicon is a must on Ao Kuang You'll usually start with the 2+3 combo anyway, and after that it's all basic attack, and perhaps and ult aswell, so Polynomicon is really amazing on him.
Other than that, fairly decent.
Two suggestions for the build itself, I think you should include Polynomicon in all three builds, and I also think you should replace Hastened Fatalis with something else from that tree, preferably Winged Blade, since Fatalis' passive is mostly for gods that need help to "stick" to their targets, and Ao Kuang already has a stealth and slow in his kit, along with Gem of Isolation in the build. Winged Blade gives movement and attack speed just like Fatalis does, but with added Crowd Control Reduction and Health that will help you stay alive in a difficult situation.
This is just all just suggestion, I don't play Ao Kuang much.
