Tips

Zhong Kui is a great solo laner. You've got great healing from Exorcism and great protections from your passive. You'll want to level in this order 4>2>1>3. You can max the 3 before the 1 if your enemies are really aggressive to increase the stun duration, but generally you want to level the 1 first for early clear, then max the 2 for heals while putting points into your ultimate whenever possible. Then max the 1 for better clear, combo damage with the 2, and better poke. Lastly level the 3 for better CC.

Ancile cannot be bought by magical gods. Also attack speed items are not good on Zhong Kui.

Thats the minimum that should be addressed but the build can see improvements or additions in other areas 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.
