I've been seeing this a lot in assault and I was wondering if it's still useful. I can see the attraction, what with the extra health, HP5, MP5, and gaining health whenever you're hit buy most forms of CC, but I've always read that it's no longer any good. Thoughts?

The passive 2% max health regeneration has always been a draw, and since that part of the item didn't change, it still remains a situationally strong starting item for Assault. In addition, the 10% max health regen almost makes it BETTER for Assault than it used to be in some ways...Gaia was picked up in Conquest specifically to counter specific abilities so you wouldn't get ganked, but in a teamfight, I think the new passive can have a lot of use.

Check out my updated Assault guide. I have Gaia as a starting option with explanation for situation for Guardians, Warriors, and even some Assassins (that don't contribute much to an early game fight or wave clear), as long as there's no healer.

Every time I play assault especially when I get a physical god I usually get the item as a starter. The stats of it are really good for sustain (especially the passive). I usually don't get it in other game modes only for tanks for no mobility I get it for. Otherwise it's a amazing item to get in Assault.

Thanks Bran. It really helped my in our assault match last night.

Man, we just had the weirdest series of games...usually I'm on the bad-roll side of Assault matches, where we even try to reroll and still end up with 5 magical or whatever.

In any case, did you look at your tanking stats from that game? 24k damage, 36k taken, almost 52k mitigated in 20 minutes. Lol.

I looked at our other games, and I was expecting to see something like the enemy team averaging account levels of 40-60 or something, but nope, for the most part, things looked pretty balanced.

(81) |

Well, I did build some defenses, just not like our wanted me to because I didn't think it was worth getting on a warrior. I would have gotten it if I was playing a guardian though.

There was something specific going for you in that game for that choice.

I was , and I prefer making him somewhat tanky, since he becomes a sitting duck with his ult. I often build him like I built him when he was a Guardian, tanky but with and (eventually) some pen. So I was perfectly fine getting Sov to start.

That said, both Warriors and Guardians, in Assault, I consider to be potential tank candidates. It's less about class and more about best role to balance the team, and depending on team comp, if you were the only tanky god, then I'd highly suggest picking it up (especially against that team w/ all 5 gods being phys). If there were NO tanks on the team, and I was or someone like that, I'd probably convert to a tankier role and still pick it up first.

But yeah, throwing a fit to start because she saw you get Gaia instead...sheesh. She was carried pretty substantially, and missed a ton of her s.

I would still pick up sov earlier then gaia. I still don't like it without the protections it had in S1

@Dev, you have to understand the current state of the item too, and real-life testing/experience.

As described above, I pick up situationally, but find it works very well for its intended purpose when I do get it. Realize that got nerfed pretty hard. Instead of providing 30 physical protections to nearby teammates (which was substantial), it now only provides 1/2 that. Yes, it still helps to a degree, and the HP5 it also provides can also be okay, but instead of almost being a core starter in Assault for most situations, it's now a much more situational item, being more functional only when there are like 4/5 physical enemies (sometimes 3 too, but that's when the 2 magical aren't as much of a threat).

for me it's really the stats it gives the passives are fine however the stats it gives meh. yeah sov may be nerfed however instwead of giving you 200 hp it gives you prot which helps way more on EHP.

passive wise it's fine. compared to LoL hp regen item it's passive even better as it keeps working in combat and from the start (even though in LoL the regen is way WAY higher, like 2.5% per 0.5s higher).

still 2% of your max hp isn't a lot in 5s and in a fight your not gonna notice it a lot and I wonder how much your gonna notice the 10% from the other passive in this burst heavy game.
Just like in LoL I don't really see it add to my survivability unless I'm an initiating full tank that can get out easily to make use of it's regen or if the other team can only poke for some reason (which normally doesn't happen).

sov just gives you and your team a bit more survivability when against a poke team. the only reason for me to buy it over gaia is that's it less selfless regen and it gives you more protections (the aura protections has never been the reason for me to buy it in assault). So if the enemy has a poke comp people can regen up if they don't have life steal.

I've been using this item pretty frequently on warriors in the solo lane. I main with Odin and Bellona, and I find the HP5, MP5, and 2% health regen make an enormous difference in reducing my early backing. The large health pool provides help against enemies that build penetration items early, while the CC immunity can really save you when squared up against gods like Erlang Shen, Sobek, Fenrir, Herc, Tyr, Chaac, and most of the CC you see in the solo

So with the new passives and the new stats I think this item might be used more but it isn't used very much

Might be useful against certain comps. If they have Jing Wei ADC, Bacchus support, and Awilix jungler, I might get it in Conquest.

Any other support you might use it on ? What kind of situation would you use this item in ?

(33) |

Well, it can be bought by pretty much any solo laner or support. It's also very good on assault if you already bought everything you need.

(105) |

only reason now to pick it up is for the HP5 it provides now

(11) |

I liked it for the +70 defense

People have been telling me that this item is useless since its nerf. What's your opinion?
