How to play

Nothing serious, Hades is not that hard to understand, the hard part of Hades is surviving and being useful in the team compared to the other midlaner. Try to be agressive in early but dont be shy to use your 1 to get out fast, thats your only way to be alive after a good gank. If you feel that theres nothing more to do, ult, at least you will damage the enemy mid/jg/sup whoever that tries to kill you. Good Hades players usually time their passive in the exact moment to make good trades, meaning that they dont receive any damage and still one shot the enemy midlaner. Im not an Hades main, i just wanted to make this build since i think its the only god in smite with a mechanic similar to Vladimir in LoL. And before you ask, i prefer Smite over LoL, i just like playing Vladimir xd

Go Bancrofts before Typhon’s. Also I’d recommend swapping out doom orb for divine/Deso or shard and selling boots late for Mantle. Also swap frenzy for Shell (for upgrade).

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.
