Alternative Relics

Notes Aegis of Acceleration is a really good option because it has low CD. You should always buy it in the games where the enemy gods don't have much CC's or in the case they have many burst skills.

Phantom Shell should be bought if their set up doesn't have gods with much CC's and they have walls in their kits like Ymir or Cabrakan.

Notes In the case you want to go with crits in your build because you are feeling that you are not doing enough damage, you should do both of them to have good critical chances.

This items should be bought instead of Odysseus' Bow and Titan's Bane.

Introduction

Hey, this guide is brought to you by TottiGR! I started playing Smite on PC in February 2014. I have been playing competitive since 2016 and I have been a professional Smite player between March 2020 to July 2023. I have played in different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans this last year. I have peaked 3500 MMR GM/Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC every season since 2017. I also made Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022 so I really think I have the knowledge about guiding about the ADC role. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Cernunnos as an ADC.
