Hieroglyphic Assault

1 X

Thoth conjures three Hieroglyphs around him, ignoring the Basic Attack Movement penalty. His next 3 Basic Attacks pass through Enemies and apply Ability Damage instead. Additionally, these Basic Attacks deal an additional 25% damage to jungle minions. If these attacks pass through the Glyph of Pain, their range is increased by 30. Hitting an enemy with this ability increases the damage they take from each subsequent shot by 10% and reduces the cooldown by 0.5s (this can only occur once per shot).

Ability Type: Line, Damage
Damage Per Shot: 45 / 65 / 85 / 105 / 125 (+25% of your Magical Power)
Glyphs Spawned: 3
Range: 55/85
Cost: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70
Cooldown: 10s

Evade and Punish

2 A

Thoth dashes in the direction he is currently traveling. After dashing, for 5s Thoth's next basic attack is enhanced.

This projectile roots the first Enemy god hit while slowing all other enemies, and also deals Ability Damage.

If either the Dash or Attack passes through the Glyph of Pain, their respective range is increased by 30.

Ability Type: Dash, Root, Damage
Damage: 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+60% of your Magical Power)
Root and Slow Duration: 1.5s

Glyph of Pain

3 B

From his book, Thoth conjures forth a Hieroglyph in front of him. Thoth's ability projectile passing through the glyph receive increased damage, and a range increase of 30. This damage does not trigger item effects.

Thoth and allies' Basic Attack projectiles also receive a lesser damage bonus, but no range increase.

Ability Type: Area, Buff, Damage
Ability Bonus Damage: 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 (+5% of your Magical Power)
Basic Attack Damage: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 (+5% of your Magical Power)
Range: 55
Cost: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45
Cooldown: 5s

Final Judgement

4 Y

Thoth begins summoning 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 the ability early, doing a reduced amount of damage based on the number of glyphs currently summoned. Alternately he may cancel this ability at a cost of 30 Mana.

Ability Type: Line, Damage
Damage: 420 / 480 / 540 / 600 / 660 (+120% of your Magical Power)
Range: 100/130

One Shot Capability Build

With this build.. ur gonna wreak havoc!

1.764 ULTIMATE DMG! You can One Shot Squishies IF they don't have any sorts of protections or more health AND you gotta have Soul Reaver ready AND Soul Gem fully stacked.

Full CDR Build

With this build you have more CDR, a bit less DMG. Nothing more to say.

More Survivability Build

With this build you have more Survivability, one with the least DMG builds here. Also nothing more to say.

Why No Boots?

I think because we all LOVE more DMG.
So 8% less movement but a s#*t tons of DMG? HELL YEAH!!

If you still want to build Shoes of the Magi then buy it as second item and remove 5th Item or Soul Gem

BUT PLEASE DON'T BUY Shoes of Focus or any other Boots IT'S GARBAGE ON THOTH!

Why Soul Gem?

Because Soul Gem is broken on Thoth.
Just use ur 3 and walk through it to get stacks. Pretty Easy!

You need at least 2 stacks. Because if u have ur 2 and 3 ready you can use ur 2 use ur 3 and THEN shoot it. You now have 4 stacks and u will probably use ur 1 to finish them.

BUT WAIT!

U will deal a lot more DMG now with ur 1. It's like shooting 4 instead of 3.. circle things.. at your enemy!

You can also just stack it full of course..

THESE BUILDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONQUEST!

No boots, no obsidian or blue cdr boots as alternative option, NO Nemesis and Odin listed as threats???

This Build or.. "Guide" (idk why it went up to a guide) is not finished, should have written it somewhere :/ sry.

The difference between a build and guide is the number of words (or chapters?), Jump. I made what I thought was going to be a Xing Xian build awhile back, but because I got a bit wordy, the site turned it into a guide. The only significant difference between a build and a guide is that the former is usually just that: a build order, while a guide goes into detail about item purchases like what you've done with this guide.

Oh.. Good to know :D thx.

I made a changelog.. and i wrote that i only added assassins as threats for now.
Would be nice if u actually read my Build.. :I

Ah my mistake, I missed that it's not a conquest build (could mention this earlier). Still though, cdr boots is not bad on Thoth due to the penetration from his passive, which could allow him to not get pen boots.

I do appreciate Jump's attempt to create a build that foregoes shoes, especially in non-conquest situations where it's sometimes more acceptable to build outside the norm.

The build progression in general is pretty acceptable for most of the example builds, though I think I'd like to see a bit more pen if possible...I know his passive gives him some, but still would like to see a bit more (and the best early answer to that is ).

So...no shoes. There are pros and cons. (Also note Jump has a brief chapter discussing this)

Pros: Overall, is going to provide more damage overall for . Also, those stacks early mean he'll get the passive damage boost pretty quickly too.

Although he will have less speed, if he's played intelligently, you can work around that. has an extremely low CD, so even if it was used a couple of seconds ago, it'll be available again shortly. If he can keep for escapes, or only use it to dash in offensively when he's got teammate support and knows he'll be safe, then he's got a great long distance dash to get him back to the safety of a tower, or get him a head start on a team retreat if things turn sour.

Cons: The specific reason I think is a better early choice is partly due to the early pen for a bit more poke damage, and the lower price. 800 less gold is significant, at least in some modes where gold spooling is a bit lower. The 10 pen is also nice. It just means you'll be able to get the next item up and running more quickly too, and with that item being (which is fairly expensive), he'll want it ASAP for the CDR and pen.

I see the Shaman's alt being better for modes like Clash and Joust, while standard Shoes might be better for a more wide open Arena (and the large jungle of Siege).

Well.. it's my first build here and I tried something "new" and I know that this build can be very pricey :/.

I build like this very often in almost every mode (except when I get behind) and I had no problems :D (Except when I get flamed that I didn't buy shoes but I can totally understand that.)

I'm the kind of guy that loves DMG and I have Thoth almost with 5k worshipers so 8% less movement isn't a big deal for me.

Just wanted to share this build and maybe it works for some people too :D.
