---Here We Go Again---

Hello, I'm ScorpionRadio, and this is officially my second SmiteFire guide with the new Guardian to the scene, Ganesha. I main Guardian on Xbox One, and I would like to share my build for Ganesha. This build will most likely get NERF'D the moment I get into the gritty of it, so I might as well make the effort as soon as possible.

is a Magical Melee Oriented Guardian with a strong emphasis for assisting, since this purple elephant is as much of a pacifist as doesn't remind me of a Baloney sandwich. His passive is intended to force players into playing him as strictly a supporting Guardian and rarely allowing him any possible chances for kills.

HOWEVER

is by no means a terrible god. If anything, I was proven downright wrong about how good he is the moment I started messing around with items and found out by accident how overpowered he can get. Before I get to items, I still gotta cover the basics.

---PROS : CONS---

PROS
- Silence that can be applied and reapplied to anyone in front of him
- An Array of CC abilities that quickly change a teamfight
- Excellent Scaling
- Good Late Game
- An Elephant
- Always has snacks
- Buffs Teammates
- Legally allowed to Killsteal
- Remove Obstacles Can go through Odin's Cage.
- Nobody Takes Him Seriously Yet

CONS
- Mana Hungry Early Game
- Hardly gets kills, and more liable to fall behind because of it
- Silence is somewhat awkward as it seems to come and go sometimes
- Silence slows Ganesha quite a bit
- Nobody Takes Him Seriously Yet
- Beads, and other CC Immune items make his Remove Obstacles not do ANY damage or ANY stuns.

--- Ganesha's Kit And You! ---

Ganesha Has an assortment of abilities that make him stand out as a Guardian, and make him relatively effective in Duo lane and teamfights.

PASSIVE: This passive essentially allows to killsteal and clear lane, without actually doing that. Rather, if an ally is nearby, he will grant the kill to the ally and take the assist. It also increases his assist range by supposedly 20 units. This makes a requirement.

Essentially a spirit ball that increases damage output of your team for every enemy hit, and scales really well. It's best used for lane clear, or in team fights. However this becomes destructive when built with high power.

This is a Silence, a Protections boost, and really annoying with high cooldowns. It's extremely useful in teamfights, and annoying the enemy Support.

's Dash. Any god hit with it will be silenced, rooted, tossed up, and slapped all the way through. It's good for escapes, and for movement. However, can render this ability USELESS. Don't level this up until late-game, it's only for utility and movement.

I intitially thought this Ultimate, as well as the use of it, was garbage. Then I tried it with and other power items. Boy, was I wrong. It sets up a small area that causes any enemy that goes through the barriers to take damage per second as they stand on it, and anyone who does go through the barrier is slowed. It still works with dashes, but not jumps and is actually really good during teamfights and especially chasing.
