Hello, I'm Eldrin and this is my guide for the Arbiter of the Damned, 
Thoth. In this guide I'll primarily be showing you how to play and build as Thoth but I have added sections for things such as Stats, Match-ups, etc.
I will try to update this guide as future patches release so please feel free to comment any suggestions that you may have as to what I can add to the guide! :)

Dead Reckoning-
Dead Reckoning but the minion kills accumulated for the previous stack will not transfer into the new one.
Hieroglyphic Assault-
Thoth ignores the basic attack movement penalty and his next 3 basic attacks pass through enemies and all structures and apply ability damage instead so they cannot deal damage to towers/phoenixes. If these attacks pass through the Glyph of Pain, their range is increased by 30. Hieroglyphic Assault can deal up to 105/165/225/285/345 (+75% of your magical power) damage by itself and 150/240/330/420/510 (+105% of your magical power) damage when used with Glyph of Pain. This is only if you hit all three shots though.
Evade and Punish-
Thoth dashes 40 units in the direction he is currently travelling in. This is an 8 directional dash like 
Rama's 
Rolling Assault). Additionally, for 5 seconds after he dashes, Thoth's next basic attack instead fires a magical projectile with a 55 unit range at the target which stuns for 1 second and deals ability damage. If the dash or the projectile pass through the Glyph of Pain, their range is increased by 30. Evade and Punish's projectile can deal up to 70/110/150/190/230 (+60% of your magical power) by itself up to 85/135/185/235/285 (+70% of your magical power) damage when used with Glyph of Pain.
Glyph of Pain-
Thoth conjures forth a Hieroglyph in front of him. His abilities receive increased damage and a range increase of 30 if they pass through the Glyph. Additionally, ally basic attack projectiles receive a slight damage bonus but no range increase if they pass through the Glyph. This ability does not affect ally ability projectiles nor ally melee basic attacks. Glyph of Pain provides an additional 15/25/35/45/55 (+10% of your magical power) bonus damage if your other abilities pass through it and 10/15/20/25/30 (+10% of your magical power) as bonus damage to all ally ranged basic attacks that pass through the Glyph. This also means that all ally ranged basic attacks enhanced by the glyph will trigger item effects such as Gem of Isolation's 25% slow or Soul Reaver's 10% max. health as true damage passive.
Final Judgement-
Thoth summons pages from his book, up to a maximum of four. When all four have been summoned, he sends them forward damaging all enemies in their path. Thoth may activate this ability again to fire them early, doing a reduced amount of damage based on the number of pages currently summoned. Final Judgement can deal up to 360/440/520/600/680 (+140% of your magical power) by itself and 375/465/555/645/735 (+150% of your magical power) damage when used with Glyph of Pain. This ability is similar to 
Ra's 
Searing Pain. Glyph of Pain), passes through walls and is capable of 1-shotting most Assassins, Mages and Hunters. His ultimate prevents him from using any of his other abilities when he is charging it up and does not provide CC immunity but you are allowed to move and aim while it is charging. Additionally, if the ult is cancelled (you can cancel it by hitting the right mouse button) or interrupted by CC, the cooldown will not be triggered and no mana shall be consumed. This allows you to play mind games with your enemies by activating the ult and cancelling it immediately to trigger the voice line and scare them off or make them think you used your ult and it's on cooldown. Sounds really OP, doesn't it? That's cause it is.

The combo of Glyph of Pain and Hieroglyphic Assault is Thoth's most reliable way of confirming damage. It can deal very high amounts of damage incredibly quickly (150/240/330/420/510 + 105% of your magical power) and as such is your main method of clearing waves and poking enemies from faraway. |
|
This is how you'll want to escape from enemies if they try ambushing you. Simply place the Glyph of Pain in front of you, dash using Evade and Punish, turn around and stun them through the glyph if the try pursuing you. If the enemy was at low health, the projectile might actually even be able to kill them. |
|
You basically just delete people from the game using this combo. It's all you need to 100-0 any and every squishy as long as you're even in levels and build progression. It can be countered by Stone of Fal's passive if your enemy decides to build it but you'll still be able to take off 30% of their max. hp if they do and follow up using your other abilities to kill them. |
|
This is a more complex ability combo and might require a bit of practice to learn how to pull it off but it's definitely worth it as you'll be able to deal a max. of 1250 + 270% of your magical power as damage. However, you must note that this is a very risky combo and may often leave you in a dire situation if you're not careful. You start off by activating Hieroglyphic Assault and then placing Glyph of Pain down in front you and shooting the Hieroglyphs towards your opponent to poke them for some damage. Immediately afterwards, use Evade and Punish to close the distance and stun them. Place the Glyph of Pain down once again and activate Hieroglyphic Assault as soon as it's ready to start firing once again and finish the enemy. Once Evade and Punish has come back up, retreat straight away to avoid being ganked with no abilties up. |
|
A variation of the previous combo you can perform if Final Judgement is up by replacing it for Hieroglyphic Assault. This is much easier to pull off than the previous one and allows you to take down your opponent much faster while enabling you to save your Hieroglyphic Assault just in case something goes wrong. |
Thoth. The first is to buy Sands of Time and Shoes and then buy some Health and Mana potions to be safe. The other way is to get Vampiric Shroud and 
Soul Reliquary first and then slowly build into Book of Thoth.
Shoes of the Magi or Shoes of Focus- This is mainly a matter of personal preference but I recommend getting penetration boots as you do not need very large amounts of CDR especially with the Sands of Time start. Doing so will also allow you to maximize your damage output.
Book of Thoth- Due to his 1st and 3rd ability having such short cooldowns as well as being you're main damaging tools, you'll often find yourself spamming these abilities and using up a lot of mana. Book helps Thoth cope with his mana issues as well as provides him with a lot of power in the early game. It's pretty much a must have item on him (especially since it's named after him).
Pythagorem's Piece- Provides 24% lifesteal, 70 power and 10% CDR to yourself as well as 12% Magical lifesteal and 30 power to any magical allies or 10% Physical lifesteal and 20 power to any physical allies within 70 units of you for the cheap cost of 2,300 gold. Very useful regardless of team composition. Bancroft's Talon- Offers a ton of power and lifesteal to you alone and has a passive which can nearly double both stats depending on how low your health is. Once again a very good item for a very cheap cost. Divine Ruin- Is very good against team compositions with lots of healers as it reduces enemy healing and regeneration by 40% for 8 seconds when you hit them with an ability. It also gives you a decent amount of power and some flat penetration. Glyph of Pain also procs it's passive so you or any ally can reduce enemy regeneration by attacking them with basics (similar to 
Witchblade's passive) enhanced by the Glyph. Gem of Isolation- Provides you with high power, extra health and some CCR which can be critical in various scenarios. It also has a passive which slows enemies hit by your abilities by 25% for 2 seconds which can make it easier to combo abilities together. Glyph of Pain also procs Gem's passive so you and all your allies can slow enemies just by throwing basic attacks through the Glyph. Soul Reaver- Gives a ton of power, some mana and has a passive that takes away 10% of a God's maximum HP as additional true damage if you hit them with an ability (Can only occur once every 40 seconds). Great if you're facing against targets with a lot of health. Glyph of Pain triggers it's passive so you or any of your allies can proc it just by attacking them with a basic.
Obsidian Shard- Gives you 33% Magical penetration and 30 power. This item is great for structure pushing and incredibly useful against enemies with a high number of Magical protections. Spear of the Magus- A very good item for Thoth. His Hieroglyphic Assault is up so often that you can nearly always have Spear's protection de-buff on enemies. Glyph of Pain procs Spear's passive meaning that if you or other allies fire basic attacks through the Glyph, any enemy that gets hit will be de-buffed by Spear's passive.
Chronos' Pendant- This item doesn't provide the highest amount of power but gives a LOT of CDR, great MP5 and passive that allows you to further reduce your cooldowns. It gives you all you need to have your abilities up constantly even if you didn't buy any other CDR items. Spear of Desolation- It offers you good amounts of power, a lot of penetration, some CDR and a passive which reduces all your active cooldowns by 1 second if you get a kill or assist. This is a good item for chain-killing but has a very high price which is why I wouldn't recommend getting it. Always an option if you wanna try it though. Stone of Fal- This is a more defense oriented item which provides you with decent power, some Magical protections, some CDR and a passive which reduces damage from a single magical ability that was supposed deal more than 30% of your max. hp to exactly 30% of your max. hp (Can only occur once every 60 seconds). It's not the best item for CDR but you can pick it up if you already have another CDR item in your build and the enemy Mage is bursting you down really quickly.
Rod of Tahuti- Simply a must have item for every Mage. It gives you incredibly high amounts of power as well as increases your total Magical power by 25%. It makes even more sense to build it on Thoth since Tahuti (Djehuti or ḏḥwty) is also another name for him!
Thoth is a very interesting Mage with the potential to completely dominate the battleground. There are dozens of different tricks and combos you can use to outmaneuver your enemy and so many approaches you can take when you play and build him depending on the situation of the game.
Something you must keep in mind is that everyone has a different playstyle and a build that may work for one might not work for you.
I recommend that you explore through the other guides present for Thoth, as well as watch some gameplay footage of people playing as him to see what suits your playstyle the most.
Thank you for reading my guide on Thoth and I hope that you found it helpful in someway or the other! :)
