The Early Game and Tips

Hello this is my first guide so please point out any errors in my build and I will be happy to correct it. Before we start,I just wanted to say that this whole guide is how I myself play Anubis so anything said here is based on my play style. So let's begin. When the game starts level all three of your beginning skills and start your build with tier two Bancroft's Talon. This will allow you to use only your 1 to clear the incoming wave after you get blue buff(considering you get blue buff). While clearing wave another god may be already heading to the middle of the arena. To begin your bait streak make sure your 2 and 3 are off cool down, use your 1 to clear wave and as they see you are vulnerable land your 2 and 3 to do some harass and back off behind the cover of your team. Only go back to base if you are out of mana or if you are low on hp. Once you finally go back you should have enough gold to finish your talon and begin your penetration boots. I play Anubis like a Loki, only go in if you see an opportunity to get a kill on a squishy god. Team fights are not your forte, singling out low hp gods is your priority. If you are new to Anubis your kill combo is in this sequence 2,3,and 4. If at all possible use this combo near the maximum range of your ult. Your goal is to land the whole combo at range and get out safely. If your ult is on cool down, your next kill combo in sequence is 2,3,and 1. If your 2 or 3 are on cool down do not attempt any combo on a full hp god. Using your combo without your 2 or 3 will easily make you lose out on a ton of potential damage.(Pro tip-set your 3 on autocast)

Recall Baiting, Blink Anubis, and The Late Game.

Once you have achieved your full build it is time to recall bait some gods. If you are new to recall baiting do not worry because it is very simple. Begin by finding a single god that is alone or in the back of the pack. At medium distance begin to recall. If they notice you, let them come closer and make sure you have your 2 ready to click. Now this is the divine moment where you have to land your 2 or you just get the hell out of there. If you land your 2 complete it with your 3 and then 4. At full build this should be able to kill the average mage and assassin that has no beads or magi's blessing. After your kill get out before the enemy team rolls in. Now you're looking at my build and wondering why I have blink. Well it is simple, and this is for buff killing. Most of the time someone strays away from the group and goes off to do a buff camp. Make sure you notice this right away and get on it. From afar the enemy will see you and think that you are too far away to do anything about them stealing your red buff. Well with a blink 2,3,and 4 wombo combo I'm pretty sure they'll think twice before stealing your buffs. Blink is also used to get out quickly after a successful recall bait and to close the gap on a fleeing enemy. During the late game make sure to stray away from your team because aoe damage will destroy you. But your thinking but what about assassins like Loki? This is where your expertise of Anubis and fist comes into play. The fist is used to secure your stun and to finish them with your kill combo. I never had a problem with Loki because I react fast enough to only let him get one or two hits off after he gets out of stealth. Next I will talk about Recall Bait Anubis and his weaknesses.

Cons, Weaknesses,and Closing Statement

This Anubis play style in particular is very weak against gods with a lot of CC. Warriors such as Tyr, and mages such as Vulcan will have an easy time disrupting your combos. A strong counter to an Anubis that plays like this is Kali. Her ult will make you want to re-watch the final season of Dexter. The biggest weakness against this Anubis is a smart player. A smart player will automatically buy beads and magi's blessing. This will make your recall baiting almost impossible. Well that's all folks and please if you found this guide helpful feel free to rate it however you please. And note that the skill order may be wrong, but just focus on your 2 and 3 during the start, get your 1 whenever you have to and level your ult whenever possible.
