Introduction

Hey. This is my first build uploaded on SmiteFire. Without further ado, let's start.

This is a great guide to play the best god. She's versatile and is equipped to take on almost any scenarios, but has quite a long cooldown for each move. She's balanced health and damage-wise, but falls a bit defense-wise, like most warriors.

Items

For her first three items always start with Warrior Tabi, Stone of Gaia, and Bloodforge. These core items will be the base to everything you do. Warrior Tabi gives you the damage to attack and the movement speed to pursuit slower enemies. Stone of Gaia gives more health, increasing the amount of health used in your ultimate's health shield. Bloodforge gives that slight burst of power and lifesteal. Getting the kill will results in a health shield, and can stack onto her ultimate.

For more damage, Frostbound Hammer is essential as it gives slightly more damage and more health. The item's passive slows enemies down with every basic attack hit by 30% and the enemies attack speed by 15%. Jotunn's Wrath gives 40 physical power, 150 mana, 10 physical penetration, and a 20% cooldown reduction. Stone Cutting Sword adds more penetration to your build, 50 physical power and 10% movement speed, allowing for more enemy chasing mid-late game.

If you need a bit more defense and health, start with Winged Blade. This gives you more health to survive a bit more, crowd control reduction, attack speed, and movement speed for retreating. Then, based on what you're protecting against, build Genji's Guard to defend against magical attacks, have a cooldown reduction, and MP5, or build Breastplate of Valor for physical protections, mana, and cooldown reduction. The items after the first three core items are able to mix and match, so you can build both bruiser and tank together, base on the situation.

Pros / Cons

Pros
-Can do a good amount of damage late game
-Has a great ultimate for tower diving or escaping on low health
-Great wave clear
-Can leap
-Has a stim that enhances the next ability you use
-Can take a hit late game
-Crowd Control

Cons
-A little squishy early game.
-Long cooldowns
-Ultimate doesn't do a lot of damage

Creeping / Jungling

Her 3rd ability is her leap. It can be used to get in or out of battles, or to sneak over a wall. This move also does knockup, rendering the enemy unable to attack. Use her 2nd ability first to increase the speed of the leap.

Summary

In short, she's a great god, not OP and not weak. She can do almost anything, and this build amplifies on

:) this is a pretty good build. Tried it in arena and i was wrecking ****. So what type of relics would you recommend? I'm new to this game and I rely on builds on this site to help me learn how to play.

Sorry for getting back to you so late, but I'd recommend Meditation first then frenzy to help put in team fights.
