The basics(abilitys)

FIRST OFF, we are not pros, im not a pro your not a pro, my build and guides are for the casual player, I do have a lot of ranked experience but I prefer to play casuals,
now that that's out of the way:
Thanatos the god of overloaded abilities and 3 shoting squishys.
CAUTION (with this guide im just going to assume you know the basics of jungeling)
This is a casual guide for normal conquest players, this guide will not magically carry you to masters but can help your thanatos skills. Here is a quick overview of his kit
Passive: Thanatos heals when he LAST hits and kills a unit( basically a built in bumbas mask this is why you don't start it when you jungle) Cool downs are reduced when thanatos kills an enemy god. Skill ordering is 4/1/2/3
1. DEATH SCYTHE, Max this first things you need to know: COSTS HEALTH AND MANA, tricky to hit, hits for a lot, slows enemy movement speed, heals you for a % of your damage done, deals an ADITONAL 10% damage to enemy's max hp.
2. SCENT OF DEATH, Max this second, COSTS HEALTH AND MANA, adds penetration adds movement speed makes you 100% RESISTANT TO SLOWS,
3. SOUL REAP, COSTS HEALTH AND MANA, Only use this ability to interrupt with this ability you can science opponents from using skills like thor`s 3(berserker barrage)
4. HOVERING DEATH, COSTS HEALTH AND MANA Executes enemy gods under a health threshold, insta-kills noobs who run with low health

BASE ROATATION IN SKILLS: 2 auto attack 1 auto attack 3(if needed to silence out their ability's or silence them from jumping away from your awesomeness) auto attack and repeat

The basics(build )

This build is made for dealing ALOT of damage and taking a lot a decent amount of damage.

STARTING STUFF:hydras 2 and red pot start you with a stupid amount of power, and will help you fight early, you want to fight early your a early game god.
Warrior tabi- 40 damage added to ability, not really going to argue with that, he is not an auto-attack god or a support so build him like a assassin early.
jotunns wrath WHO THE HELL (in a casual setting) is going to argue with 11 penetration(wrecks ad carry's base protections early on) another 40 power and 25% cdr.
Frostbound hammer when there not slowed by death scythe there slowed by this makes you stick to your enemy's and reduce kite(just between us if you cant hit a death scythe because you happen to be a bit to awesome just smack them a few times with auto attacks before you use death scythe)
FINISH HYDRAS- max cdr !MORE ABILITYS. MORE FUN!
Hide of the urchin: lets you get tankey so you don't get 2 shot.
titans bane-more damage. its that simple

Pros / Cons

PROS
PROS
A lot of damage
a lot of slows
a lot of damage
a lot of intsa-killing moves
EARLY GAME GOD OF ALL EARLY GAME GODS

KAHHHHNNNNS
you have a rough late game you cant do as much damage just play smart and you will be fine
thanatos doesn't take cc very well, buy beads
you may have bought protections but your still an assassin, don't 1v1 the adc late game (unless you are ahead and have a shield of the underworld)

Team Work

FEED THE LANES, you are an early game god, the key to a good thanatos player is that he will feed there lanes and create a lead so big the other team cannot come back from it a good thatatos player will have much more assists that kill, the best way of accomplishing this is camping duo lane and forcing early gold fury fights and winning.
