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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

Is it just for the early game boxing/sustain?
In that case, if you have a healer supp wouldn't it be good to?
No, it's for boxing all game, and sustain if there is thorns on the enemy team or you're building crit into Nemean Lion. Or, it can be paired with Asi for even more sustain, but that's dependent on if you don't need Titan's Bane (if building crit/fail-not with Devos).
It's mainly question of whether you're using a hunter who relies on abilities vs. a hunter who relies mainly on autos.
Ullr, Neith, and Chiron are all ability based gods. Ullr's stance switch does give him a passive of increased AS. However all of these gods have hard hitting abilities. It is beneficial for you to amplify that with high power items like transcendence, and other power/pen items. Think titans bane, crusher, etc. A good way to think of this is you're a physical mage.
AA based hunters include gods like Rama, Jing Wei, & Artemis. These gods have some AS steroid or some other amplification to their autos. Also their abilities don't necessarily have a lot of damage (though this varies per hunter). They need AS and lifesteal. Thus devos is important.
And there are some cases where a god can go either, e.g. Chernobog (but which one you go with is affected by role and matchups).
Also what's up with all these Anhur Devo's? Isn't he a Trans god?
Well early game, Anhur hits pretty hard with his auto's and abilities, mainly due to his passive. Pair this with Trans early game and he can bully the opponent in lane. In the past he was mainly built with Devo's because he's kinda hybrid/AA-based. But he's received buffs to his ult that made going a trans route a more attractive option: https://smite.gamepedia.com/Anhur#Changelog
As well as being picked in Mid in SPL, where Trans builds are pretty common on hunter Mids. https://smiteprobuilds.com/Builds?p_filters_page=1&p_filters_search=&p_filters_god=~&p_filters_pro=~&p_filters_opponent=~&p_filters_role=Mid&p_filters_league=~&p_filters_sort=~
Also the changes to
In ADC though, Devo's still seems to be the popular choice for him: https://smiteprobuilds.com/Builds?p_filters_page=1&p_filters_search=&p_filters_god=1773&p_filters_pro=~&p_filters_opponent=~&p_filters_role=Carry&p_filters_league=~&p_filters_sort=~
35+(0.03(15x+300+(y+z)))
We can solve the expression for:
35+(0.03(15(50)+300+((1840)+(550))))=138.2 physical power.
Here are the facts about this item
- It is the item that will give you the most power in the game (and apparently it's not going to change in Season 4)
- It gives you between 300 - 1050 more mana depending of the stacks.
- The % power from mana is more relevant from your base mana than from items. (Ex:
- Stacking the item completely gives you 22 more power.
Therefore, all you need to know is
- This item can solve your mana issues if you buy it early game.
- This item is OK early game, but is more potent late game.
- Stacking is not that mandatory, so picking it as 6th item can still be a viable option.
- DPS wise, power is often eclipsed by other stats, like Penetration, Crit % and attack speed (depending of the god).
Your equation (which doesn't need the extra parenthesis) then reads:
35+(0.03(15(50)+300+1040+400)) = 109.7 physical power.
You can generally expect about 100 power from
Total mana pool for serqet got to 2490.
To take the 3% off of the 2490, I did as follows.
2490 = 100%
x = 3%
2490 . 3 = 100x
7470 = 100x
7,479 = x
But then I was like "No, it can't be that trans only gives 7 power. So I did the following.
10 = 100%
0,3 = 3%
100 = 100%
3 = 3%
1000 = 100%
30 = 3%
So with that, I've decided the extra power from transcendence will be at around 75 physical power, giving the build a ***ping 290 Physical Power
One 100th (1%) of 2490 = 24.9
24.9 * 3 = 74.7
Total power = 74.7 + (35 <- Base power of
So... yeah my calculations weren't wrong, although I think the only thing you forgot was the base 35 power from the item.
Oh yours were as well ... Well I'm not a math genius but I got this thing right ! hoozah
We all do. ^‿^
When maths stop playing with numbers, or when you have more letters than numbers in front of you, there when maths aren't fun anymore.
I doubt anybody would care enough to actually do the maths to calculate how much power their Trans provides them, just that it does.
But I do like the way you presented it though.
I wouldn't use it on a hunter (they simply don't have the build flexibility :c), but on bruisers it's nasty.
Combined with the passive, this item grants 66.5 physical power. The lowest mana pool of any hunter at 20 is 885.
That means, at the absolute minimum, this item grants 93.05 physical power.
At full stacks this item can give 51 physical power and 800 mana.
The 800 mana comes from the 50 stacks, 2% of the mana ( 16 ) will be converted to physical power.
35+16=51.
In my opinion this could be one of the best physical items.
