Overview

This guide is a Work in Progress and I've chosen to publish it early to help some of my friends with what early information I've made available.

The goal of this guide is to provide sample builds for each role in Conquest to allow for newer players to focus on their role and get them familiar with strong items for that role.

For an in-depth Conquest guide, go here!

A Note on Sample Builds
I'm well aware that there is no one-size-fits-all in Smite. Of course substitutions could be made and some items are specifically better on some gods, but most of your bases are covered as the specified role with the sample builds I've supplied. At the end of each section, I'll be adding links to some of my god-specific builds & guides to help with specificity, and including some general good item alternatives for the role.

Carry

The typical Carry start is clearing the Purple buff camp with your Support, quickly grabbing the nearby Harpy XP camp with help from your Support's Hand of the Gods, and then getting to lane.

This sample start and build suits most hunters. Notable exceptions include Ullr and Neith.
Some hunters who could go for either the Spiked Gauntlet start or Morningstar (Ability-focused build) include Chiron, Cupid, and Ah Muzen Cab. Alternative builds for Carry can be found further down.

You should never be rushing Urchin after boots in Solo.

It's funny, I hadn't done this myself but thought logically it would make sense being the stacking it requires. I assume the reason you say this is committing early to a stacking item puts you behind your opponent when they can choose to go into a specific item to counter you in solo. Though I am less concerned about such a thing happening and the severity of it at the low-elo this guide is aimed at, I think you are right to reconsider that item at that spot.

I am struggling to find a way to keep the Solo section simple while still including what's needed, so for now I replaced it with Stone of Gaia. Thanks.

it has more to do with the way urchin stacks. it stacks on kills and assists and so will stack quicker during the teamfighting stage compared to the other 'traditional' stacking items that stack better during landing phase.

and as it's dual prot its usually not really needed as your opponent in lane often only does 1 type of damage making it an inefficient pick at that point.

Overall good sample builds. There are a few things that need correcting, and other smaller things that I would just suggest.

At the moment there are 4 main ADC builds, their most known names are "Devos Qin's(or Devos pen)", "Devos Crit", "Trans Qin's (or Trans pen)" and "Trans Crit". Trans crit probably being the worst option at the moment. Your Devos Qin's build and Devo's Crit builds are fine. However, the Trans Crit option need to swap Asi and atalantas bow positioning, and putting a trans build in without showing the Qin's build at all isn't correct. Of course this is generally preference but you only really need mana potions on hunters starting Mage's Blessing like Chiron. You get enough mana sustain from Hunter's Blessing and multi potions to not use all your mana; although it can be good for magical ADC's.

My suggested build path for Trans Qins:
Ninja Tabi / Warrior Tabi > Transcendence > Asi > atalantas bow > Qin's Sais > odysseus bow > swap boots for Silverbranch Bow, Toxic Blade or Heartseeker if you're an ability based hunter.
Support start should have 4 health potions, not 2. Other than that build is fine.
The Mid builds have a lot more problems. I see you mention gods that differ from the build but similar to how you have done the Hunter builds, I would include a separate build path for these options: "Chronos' rush", "Doom [orb] rush", "[flat] pen rush" and "lifesteal build". The difference between Chronos' and Doom orbs is similar to that of Trans Qin's and Devos Qins so not to show a whole build for it doesn't make sense, and just mentioning to swap doom orb] for [[chronos' pendant doesn't make sense because with Mage's Blessing, Shoes of Focus, Chronos' Pendant and Spear of Desolation you would be overcapping CDR.

There needs to be more than 10% penetration in the builds, and Ethereal Staff is far from a core item, very situational (god dependant for item and only if there are 3+ guardians/warriors). At least 30% penetration is optimal, but sometimes you can get away with 20% but never 10%. With these points in mind, here are some example builds.

Mage's Blessing > Shoes of the Magi / Shoes of Focus > Chronos' Pendant > Divine Ruin > Soul Reaver > Obsidian Shard / Charon's Coin > swap blessing for Soul Gem > swap boots for Rod of Tahuti / Staff of Myrddin

Mage's Blessing > Shoes of Focus > Doom Orb > Divine Ruin > Soul Reaver > Obsidian Shard / Charon's Coin > swap blessing for Soul Gem / Chronos' Pendant > swap boots for Rod of Tahuti / Staff of Myrddin

Mage's Blessing > Shoes of Focus > Spear of Desolation > Divine Ruin > Soul Reaver > Obsidian Shard / Charon's Coin > swap blessing for Soul Gem > swap boots for Rod of Tahuti / Staff of Myrddin

bancrofts talon > Shoes of the Magi / Shoes of Focus > Typhon's Fang > Divine Ruin / Spear of Desolation > Soul Reaver > Rod of Tahuti > swap boots for Soul Gem or Pythagorem's Piece.
The hunter mid build needs Mage's Blessing, and overall to be less auto focused and more ability focused. Think more like assassin jungle items, The Crusher, Jotunn's Wrath Brawler's Beat Stick, Titan's Bane, Heartseeker and perhaps a Bloodforge. Warrior Tabi and Transcendence definitely the right way though.
I wont pick at your Assassin builds, but I will say that each god has their own unique standard build for the most part. I think the meta 2 defences are The Sledge and Void Shield with 4 damage items.
For the solo warrior builds, Hide of the Urchin isn't that good in general at the moment and definitely not a first item. Similarly to Assassin builds not many single builds fit all gods, the closest I can suggest to that is:

Warrior Tabi > Stone of Gaia > Gladiator's Shield > Genji's Guard > Void Shield > Mantle of Discord > swap boots for Heartseeker, Brawler's Beat Stick or Gauntlet of Thebes.

But there are gods who build Soul Eater and also those who don't need SoG that pick up The Sledge and/or caduceus shield. Also auto attack solo's who go Berserker's Shield and/or Frostbound Hammer. Some gods don't even use sustain items such as Nike or Vamana.

I don't really have an exact resolution unfortunately but definitely take out first item hide of the urchin. Try to counter your lane opponent first, then go hybrid items and maybe a magical defence for their mid laner. [[gladiator's shield and/or Void Shield are almost always a must.
In your builds maybe try to incorporate a final item and mention in the notes to swap it for your boots once you can afford the elixir or speed.

None of your core content is by no means bad, and I think it's a good take of work for people who don't want to look too in depth, these are just my criticisms to improve on.

Hey there, thanks for the reply and constructive criticism. In making this guide for a couple friends getting into conquest, a goal (and ask of them) was to not overwhelm with options, and to provide a baseline for builds. With that in mind, I've made some simple changes (Mage's Blessing in mid for Hunter, whoops), and I appreciate your feedback. Most notably the Stone of Gaia addition made a lot of sense to me. This was actually a point of concern, in that the Solo lane can go so many directions with builds given the variety of gods who can play the role. I plan to add a little more to the Solo lane section, and also to make some specific guides for Solo lane gods, such as Bellona and Amaterasu. Additionally, I thought of breaking up build items based on lane opponent, but I'm not so sure I can do it in a manner that reads well with the limited formatting I'm using.

It was also my intention to provide a list of viable items that weren't included in the sample builds to help newer players get into the variety of items when they choose to. An optional bank of additional information. I still plan to add this in, as well as 7th item options, and your suggestions will be very helpful to that end.

I will be altering the ADC builds a little, but I do think that an ability-based hunter is what Fail-Not is made for (given the CDR and passive), which is also the best fit for Trans. Since this guide is tailored to lower-elo players, I think Crit is far better than a power/pen build for hunters, and I chose to exclude a Power/Pen build with Trans for that reason.

I acknowledge your concerns with the Mid builds, and think I can address most via the 7th item/alternative options pool, but I disagree with a small amount of the criticism. I think summarizing Ethereal Staff and Soul Reaver as "10% penetration" is dishonest given their passives. I feel that most mages make lousy tank-killers anyway, which is why I did not prioritize a high amount of %pen. I also feel Ethereal Staff is a solid, undervalued Hybrid item for new players trying to adjust to the fast-paced end game, while still adding to their late-game damage (via the power and passive). I will be sure to add additional pen items in the pool of 7th item or suggested alternatives, though.

I understand the concern with Doom Orb vs Chronos' Pendant, but I don't think overcapping CDR in the case of the Chronos' Pendant build is a big deal. You need the CDR from those items as you build them (on a CDR-dependent god, not worth going Magi Boots imo), and you'll lose the 10% of Mage's Blessing when you sell it. There's also the passives on Chronos' Pendant and Spear of Desolation that add to CDR regardless of over-capping.

Thanks for taking the time to read and provide helpful feedback. As a newer contributor to the site, it's appreciated.
