Intro

Hey everyone, this is my second Hou Yi build and I think this one is significantly better than my other. I have Diamond Hou Yi now and this build seems to be the best one yet. PandaCat's video on Hou Yi helped this build but I do deviate a little bit.

Abilities

I would max out ricochet as soon as you could. It is your main combo starter, as well as your wave clear. I wouldn't recommend rush upgrading your Ult, it is more of a zoning move then a straight up damage move. Plus the scaling isn't great and it is very rare that you will hit someone with all 9 suns.

Obviously,your 2 is your main combo with all your moves, make sure you are casting it when you know who your target it and are ready to engage. Without it, you have no stun, no knockup, and no slow with your three abilities respectively.

Build

I think Crit is very strong in the meta right now, and Hou Yi is a very basic attack orientated god. I think in the build, Executioner is a must, you could get Rage before it if you were up a little but I do like getting it after Executioner.

Another alt would be Deathbringer which I don't really think is that great but if you like it get it after you sell. I think the stars help more because of the attack speed, as well as both of their passives are very good. Plus they are cheaper than Deathbringer.

I also would consider Qin a staple for me. It's passive helps a lot as well as it gives good power and speed, but if you would like you can get Ody Bow there if you prefer straight speed.

Last note would be Titan's Bane, if you are versing a very beefy team, like let's say a tanky jungle like Nike per say, I think this is a must have. If it is a squishier build, like a mage solo, I think you could do without it.

"PandaCat's video on Hou Yi helped this build but I do deviate a little bit." - I don't remember Pandacat's Hou Yi video suggesting to mix Qins with Crit.

Yea I think your right, this is my side of it a little. Obviously PandaCat knows what he is doing I just tend to like getting Qins while also stacking my Crit.

If you're going to go Qins with crit, only do Rage as the lone crit item. Go Devos Ninja Tabi Exe Rage Qins Titans and sell boots for O-Bow. Generally I wouldn't run this build on any hunter except maybe Jing Wei.

I would probably get Titan's Bane instead in most cases.

Consider add deathbringer as an option.

I mention Deathbringer in the notes section but suppose I should add it to build as well.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
