viable, but isn't it lacking dmg output?

Big Damage (37) | February 1, 2023 4:08pm
Guide is out of date, but not generally for a solo lane build. Warriors have high base damage abilities and less power scaling, so its more efficient to build protections, cooldown reduction and on hit damage effects with their playstyle rather than full damage items.

Kriega1 (143) | March 17, 2022 4:48am
Pridwen doesen't proc on Nike ult also there's already Breastplate as the main CDR option.

Isn't Nike Greek? I don't understand the Latin / Roman title

Even when the builds are fine you can still find something to criticise LOL.

Good point and I will now have to think of a more fitting title.

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.
