This build was made with some concepts in mind:
- In conquest, you may lack of push in the first few levels. You should be careful, and wait for the build to develop.
- Two flat pen items, along with the passive, makes enemy carries have no protection even with one aura item from their supp, which is really important. First 5 prots mitigate 5% of damage, while changing from 45 to 50 prots, only 2% (last 5 prots on cap give only 0.005% mitigation)
-30% percentage pen + obsidian's passive + soul reaver, which is neccesary to take tanks down, a problem thoth has big issues with
-30% cd with red pot, most of this cd coming in late, where thoth needs to escape more frequently. In early, the ability he needs the most is his 1, which used correctly has a very low cd already. Getting other stats first will be more useful.

Soul Reaver
You can avoid divine for items like Doom Orb or Desolation if they really have no healing, but don't underestimate antihealing. It's a very good item to have against strong lifesteal, or even useful to take HP5 from tanks, Health regen from fire...

If you feel like you can't surive in earlygame with sands of time, you can always go for conduit gem. It will give you a better clear, but it will make your build slower, and both upgrades are worse right now.

Hello there!
If you are reading this, thanks for you time. During this chapters, I will talk about Thoth in a way any smite player can understand how does he work. For this, I will start with the most basic things you need when you use this god for the first time, and I will get with complex things in later chapters. Choose the chapter that better suits you, or read it all of you want!
Thoth is probably the definition of ranged mage. Hight poke, good burst, decent survivavility if you know how to place yourself.
If you have never played this god, I recommend you to read his abilities first. They all are lineal, which makes them very easy to understand.
The H1 is his main tool for almost everything. In combination with his H3, he will push, poke, and clear camps with it. Level it up as fast as you can, even over your ult (after getting it at least 1 point, of course).
The H2 is your only tool to escape. Specially until you control the limits of your character, don't use it to chase too much. It will probably end up with you dead!
This is the only cc you have, and for that reason, you want to use it against any enemy who attacks you. This is why Fenrir is a very good counter of Thoth. Fenrir cannot be stopped by his H2 while using his H1, H3 or his H4.
The H3 is very important for Thoth. Use it as much as you can, as it's low mana cost and it's low cooldown makes this ability really good, and it will grant you the extra damage you need in camps and wave. Even if you are in range, it is always worth it.
The H4 is his main burst. Securing objectives, following combos with your support and jungle... This ability needs some time to deal a good damage (Using it instantly is not recomended unless the enemy is very low and about to escape), but as you can cancel it, following an ares chain, a Da Ji ult, etc is quite easy.
In any mode outside conquest, Thoth skips some painful levels. However, in conquest, you must play him carefuly. Reach Lvl3 as fast as you can, and be really careful until then. Thoth has probably the weakest Lvl1 in the game, and can easily be won by any mage, and killed in any gank. Play safe, let those minions get in tower, and look for that experience over the gold. You will have an easier time farming later, and you will get the old you missed then.
Especially in earlygame, remember that your 1 is a better tool than your 2 when getting aggresive. Using your 2 will expose you and it's early damage is really low. Always try to play with your 2 as a possible escape, unless your target is extremly easy to kill and there is no enemy near you.
Your main goal is to poke whenever you can, ward a lot, and get to late being not too far behind. Play always behind walls and in your limits of range, cause it will make enemy frontline's job harder.
Great! Looks like you already learned a bit of experience. You probably died a lot, didn't you? It's okay, you are still learning.
Let's see how we can change that.
- At this point, you may learned when to dash, at least you don't die too much doing so. As a Thoth main, I can ensure you that you can win fights without dashing, cause the chances of you dying when you have the dash are low. It's true that some gods could make you suffer a bit more, but as long as you play defensive, they will have a harder time doing so.
Remember that your 1 lowers the cooldown each time you hit an enemy god, so once you start hitting those more frequently, you will realize you can kill without being anywhere close to them.
- Feeling like you need some lifesteal? You can add Thyphons in your build somewhere between mid and lategame. It's a different way to think about thoth, but it's not a bad one. Focusing on lifesteal gives Thoth the possibility to be more aggresive, but it won't help you survive a 3 man ult after an aggressive dash!
- Those snipes sure look cool, but remember that following any cc from a teammate will make things easier for you. Those kills could make a difference.
- Try to get some help with those buffs. I know you want the full experience, but it's taking half of your HP :P
At this point, you may even dominate jousts with Thoth. It's cool, but how are conquest's doing?
You must know that the best winrate for most of the gods appears between mastery VIII and IX. It's not that you get bad at Mastery X, but that there are way more games and the wr gets closer to 50%. This means that you are reaching a decent amount of skill now, and you may need to improve in your mindset as a whole, not just in Thoth. You know, this guy can be hard when you are still getting better at the game, and it depends too much on your skill as a player.
My last tip would be that if you still feel like Thoth is hard, you should rewatch your games and see when you died and why. Learning about your mistakes is probably the best way to learn Thoth, cause none of his skills are hard on their own.
Good luck out there!
