Welcome to my guide wich talks about one of the most ANNOYING gods that SMITE has to offer for us, Mercury.
Mercury in SMITE like all the other gods, have their respective default build that were made by HiRez. In his build you can find the basic of the basic and focus on attack speed, and just because of that new Mercury players tend to get Ninja Tabi as their first item.
That's the mistake that makes you search for a guide my friend, this build make him an annoying killing machine that can chase you all across the map. A good tip for him is to not miss punches, a punch miss is a almost certain you'll have the enemy escaping from you.
PROS
High single target damage
Can get anywhere he wants in seconds
One of the best pusher in the game
Great escape
Annoying smile,jokes and skills
CONS
Can be easily killed
Takes some times killing full health tanks
Can be more predictable than Loki (for experienced players)
Is in danger when Maximum Velocity is in cooldown
Fastest God Alive
Key Bind: Passive
His passive only needs MOVEMENT to work, the more items with it you'll have a great damage just from it. Try walking around for a little bit to get it to the max so you can kill with a few hits (depends on who you're attacking).
Ability Type: Buff
Made You Look
Key Bind: 1/X
Keep in mind that this ability CAN critical damage, the good part of it is that it doesn't use your passive meter and can trigger basic attack effects, like BloodForge.
Ability Type: Ground Target
Damage: 90 / 115 / 140 / 165 / 190 (+50% of your physical power)
Radius: 7.5 / 9 / 10.5 / 12 / 13.5
Cost: 50
Cooldown: 8s
Maximum Velocity
Key Bind: 2/A
A good BEAT MY ENEMY DOWN skills that Mercury has, it can give you MOVEMENT/ATTACK SPEED and please use it correctly.
Ability Type: Buff
Movement Speed: 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10%
Attack Speed: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70%
Duration: 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5s
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80
Cooldown: 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14s
Special Delivery
Key Bind: 3/B
When Mercury grabs an enemy you can choose where he/she will land, can you imagine someone getting closer to your tower and you throw them into it and using Maximum Velocity and Made You Look to create a huge combo with your tower?
Ability Type: Dash
Minion Damage: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+60% of your physical power)
Damage per Tick: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+15% of your physical power) every 0.25s
Damage (Total): 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+60% of your physical power)
Duration: 1s
Cost: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90
Cooldown: 15s
Key Bind: 4/Y
This is Mercury's ult which can make you get in/out of a battle but it takes some time to get it to the max. As a fellow player i suggest you to NOT, did you see it? DO NOT use it on someone with full health on a full group of Gods, if someone is escaping you can you just don't try to be the hero and go for a suicide attack on an enemy within tower's reach ult past it and get the kill.
Ability Type: Dash
Damage: 200 / 275 / 350 / 425 / 500 (100% of your physical power)
Disorient Duration: 1.5s
Cost: 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120
Cooldown: 90s
This is the best choice because it gives you +40 POWER/18% MOVEMENT something you'll understand when playing more with him.
It helps your Made You Look have a more amplified reach when you
hit a group.
An item that for me is a MUST HAVE, it gives you +40 POWER/+15% LIFE STEAL and it also helps your strikes do more damage because of its passive.
Do you remember that Bellona that keeps building Frostbound? Now you can fight back.
Just a little bit of damage added to the build, you know what I mean?
Be the man and complete the build and you'll be a good Mercury, maybe good as me!
ANTI-CHIRON STRATEGY
If you find this guy in your lane you need to have a good partner because this guy is serious bussiness, he can run from you as do more damage than you. Flank or make him use his ult or escape ability.
ANTI-HERCULES STRATEGY
If you have someone like Hercules who's defence is annoying as ****, get someone to beat him up with you or try or luck on a 1v1 against him(yes that's all I have, don't blame me! he is an undying monster!).
ANTI-ODIN STRATEGY
Odin always starts with this combo: Raven Shout|Lunge|Gungnir's Might|Ring of Spears; Seems OP right? What you need to do is use Blink to get outside his ult and wait for it to expire and beat him up!
ANTI-ODIN STRATEGY
The hurt! Kukulkan or KKK (just a pun, don't take it seriously) is squishy but difficult to be caught. His ult can one hit you if you don't dodge it.
If the oposite team has a Kukulkan you better buy Aegis Pendant and use it correctly.
ANTI-ARACHNE STRATEGY
Arachne is too much predictable and can be countered easily. If she is almost dead she is gonna ult and get away, if she does that and she still in reach, just ult her before she gets away. If you are in a 1v1 against her, she is gonna put her webs behind you and get her buff skills and start hitting you.
Try to stay away from her webs and try to keep her cornered with Special Delivery and Maximum Velocity.
ANTI-AMATERASU STRATEGY
Alright so, every new God in the game is OP, why? This's how it is pal. Just try to do something and stay alive.
PLEASE HIREZ! NERF THESE GUYS BEFORE RELEASING THEM!
ARE NEW WITH MERCURY? THEN YOU MUST BECAREFUL WITH ALL THE GODS IN THE GAME
Hey guys! It has been some time so I decided to remake the build, had to see EVERYTHING, even the wallpaper took some time. My Sun Wukong build is going to be updated as well soon, so wait just a little bit. I'll leave some answers for you guys. <3

Sorry but that's how I call it, since you complained about it then there will be more people complaining too. I'll change it later on. :]
Stop being salty, your build is not the best for either conquest or arena.
League joust is '1v1' not 'solo'...
With 3v3 joust in ranked the name got changed to duel
(also Luks I don't mind how you call things yourself. However I have seen something like this before (the term Objective was the case. The person using it only referred to gold fury and fire giant however objectives also include towers etc. or the other way around). Certain things have a term most people are used to. Things get confusing if someone uses the term differently. Kinda what happened here again XD)
When I said solo I didn't refer to Conquest but Leagues: Joust. I've never seen someone play CQ solo as Mercury though, just Loki until now >.>
League joust is '1v1' not 'solo'...
It isn't a CQ build, I thought you would see the "(Solo and Arena)" part in the build's name...
If it's not a conquest build then why are you calling it a 'solo' build?
You know solo is a conquest role right?
PS: I added some of your ideas and some of mine and put into the guide.
PS2: You can use TydeTyme's build or make it better.
I think this player is an xbox player. They won't hit S3 for at least another week probably.
Why do I think this? Because he mentioned some comments back that he made this guide way before S3 came out, however the guide shows 4 februari as update date (and last week of Januari for publish date)
I just didn't see it comjng since I have things to do in real life, but I also play on the pc.
or since there are many other movement speed/damage items in S3, could be traded for stone cutting sword, or the new heartseeker!

its...idk. Theres no early game build, You get golden bow extremely late when its usually a prime item on mercury. On mercury you generally want your "Made you look" upgraded ASAP for max damage early on. Plus the relics arent there. In which you generally want sprint and something to counter who your fighting. For one of the most powerhouse gods in the game, the guide is kinda underwhelming
If you play as Mercury then you must know that leveling up Maximum Velocity gives your passive more power wich makes your first hit stronger, Made You Look is more of a "FINISHING" ability than anything.
The relics aren't there because I did this build way before Season 3 came out, I'll update it when I have the time to.
It doesn't matter if you buy it as a late game item in Arena because you'll level up pretty fast, but you need buy it as the third item in because you'll still need lifesteal and some critical damage.
