This guide is currently incomplete. If a god is missing I either haven't tested builds on them yet or they're unviable in solo lane. I will continue to work on this guide, I just don't know everything yet.

For Shifters its buff has made it bloated to the point where it’s worth getting over Glad Shield on more bruiser solos.
Ancile too is a bruiser item, it doesn’t have much defense on it but the gods you’re getting it on like Wukong and Camazotz want a lot of power and don’t need much defense to do their job. It looks weird on Cu Chu but I’ve tested it a lot on him and it feels much better over Talisman or Pestilence. He works really well with power.
On tanky characters who don’t go Shifters, I’ve been going Mystical and it feels much better because just 2 or 3 ticks of it does more than Glad Shield ever would to one person in team fights. Also since the solo meta is Manikin’s or Axe every game, bluestone on Wukong, Mystical does a lot more damage to them than it would last season since Manikin’s and Bluestone don’t have magical prots.
