Neith - Weaver of Fate (11/21/14)

A Neith guide by: Gusher

Hello, and welcome to my Neith guide. Over the coming weeks I will be doing my best to cover a majority of the gods in SMITE to give you an updated version of my builds in use of the current meta. I feel that there are not currently enough theorycrafters out there. So I will do my best to give you a large selection of gods to learn from.

Also a side note I moderate for a wonderful streamer by the name of Desanya be sure to check her out and you can catch me on to ask any questions:http://www.twitch.tv/desanya

A guide suggested by and created for: Desanya, enjoy!

I am NOT the owner of the Unicorn build trending, the following video will tell you all about the build and how it works: Unicorn Build Explanation

"Standard Build"

Attack Damage: 309
Critical Strike Damage: 250%
Critical Strike Chance: 50% base scaling to 100%
Attack Speed: 1.47
Flat Penetration: 15
Percent Penetration: 33%


"Unicorn Build"

Attack Damage: 271
Critical Strike Damage: 200%
Critical Strike Chance: 0%
Attack Speed: 1.75
Flat Penetration: 40
Percent Penetration: 33%

Primarily Hunters are just looking to acquire gold and experience during this phase. As well as gain stacks for your Devourer's Gauntlet.

Your support should be rotating for mid harpies and the occasional gank. Be very aware when your support leaves the lane and if wards are down, this will be crucial to your positioning.

With Neith you have a great tool for all phases of the game to trade effectively that is known as a "Counter Steroid" with the use of Unravel reducing the enemies attack speed by 30%. If you do look to trade with the enemy laning hunter, it is rather crucial to landing this ability onto them for the reduction, thus will result in more Lifesteal coming out of your end and damage output comparison.

If things are going smoothly you should have Devourer's Gauntlet as well as Warrior Tabi online.

At this stage lanes are roaming more frequent and you are far more prone to being ganked. Depending on the build you have chosen, you will be working toward either Qin's Sais or The Executioner.

If working toward Qin's Sais you should farm without pushing, wait for each and every last hit to maximize gold income, however for The Executioner which costs much less gold overall it would be more in your favor to push and roam for ganks mid lane frequently. Neith has a very strong ganking tool using your bind Spirit Arrow at maximum rank will hold the target in place for two seconds.

When executing a gank, do NOT try to land a Backflip just for the bonus damage from hitting a Broken Weave, it is likely the enemy will re-position by the time you land, and you will find yourself without any escape leaving you a vulnerable target.

Your build is now completed, and you have a giant kill target on your head, it is important to use Backflip Defensively in all situations.

Look to land your Spirit Arrow on a squishier target could possibly initiate a team fight in favor of your team. Do not be afraid to quick fire a ultimate onto a carry that you see detached from their team, a quick second could be all your team needs to create a 5v4.

At this stage in the game using Unicorn build will technically be more efficient at taking towers, due to the fact structures do indeed have a base armor. Also poking tankier targets will leave a stronger mark than your standard build.

No matter which build you decide to choose. Your positioning is crucial and being accurate with Spirit Arrow is a must at this stage.

• Broken Weave applies bonus effects when abilities come in contact with it: Spirit Arrow Will apply bonus damage and bind all targets in the area. Unravel when coming in contact with Broken Weave will apply a bonus heal.

  
  

• Broken Weave's are created from Backflip as well as on enemy player death, one will spawn at the death location of the enemy and last for one minute.
  

• Unravel must hit 3 targets to give you a maximum heal

  
  

• An uncharged World Weaver will apply diminished returns

  
  

• World Weaver can be body blocked

I hope you guys liked the guide I appreciate all and any constructive feed back and I hope this guide has opened you to many new ideas.
