Introduction

Thanatos, the Hand of Death. Possibly the best early game assasin ,a very skill reliant god. For now I'll just make the basic guide with items and a few other things.

Starting Items Explanation

Death's toll:

- I feel like going bumba's mask on thanatos isnt good as death's toll due to losing more hp while clearing any buff and not really clearing it noticeably faster
- Having death's toll as a staring item on him makes your hp stay close to full while clearing the buffs + giving you that 15 physical power which will help you in early ganks
- Also as you go death's toll you lose some gold while you have your allies clearing the buffs with you, but as I said early ganks and gold here it is
- So yeah early gank is like a must do,but with such an early burst of Thanatos it shouldn't be a problem for anyone
- Hp,Mana potions - classic start and tier1 boots for movement speed

Pros / Cons

PROS:

    - Prob best early game assasin
    - High early burst damage
    - Has a slow and a 75% heal of damage done on his Death Scythe
    - A silence
    - Execute as an ult
CONS:
    - Squishy ( Thats why we have this build )
    - His damage on his abilites falls off late game
    - Skill based,landing your abilites is a must
    - NO escapes ( Jumps,dashes..) only his ult,and some speed from his Scent of Death ability

Unfinished

Probably will finish it tomorrow.
