Hello I've been using a few of you guys builds for a couple years and you most recent, I only play Arena even though most you guys builds are for Conquest but some have different builds I find useful in Arena and your Sustain Build is perfect, I used many others and they sucked in Arena but this one gives a great balance and I fond myself being the biggest threat on the team mid game, even though we lost none of them could 1 v 1 me not even their Guardian and I could escape without much damage before end game but we had a feeder on our team 👎

Will await a full writeup (but I'll await the proper tuning of this god more).

Just for ease of reading without having to hover over the notes, suggest titling the various build boxes a bit better. For example, "Start 2 (Skip Starter)" and "Start 3 (Anti-Heal Starter)." Things like that.

Perhaps. Might have to be something to revise and add to all of my guides for consistency. I don't expect to keep all of these though, in the coming weeks I think there will be a solid build after seeing more pros play him and such.

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.
