Introduction

Hi, Welcome to my first Poseidon build on "smitefire.com"

I haven't been playing smite for a long time but it has been a few years and I would like to share just some of my experience with Poseidon.

Also be gentle its my first time so i might not explain things correctly but I do like to hear the feedback.

Pros / Cons

Pro:

1. Cooldown - able to use abilities frequently
2. Slowing Enemies - better for picking off Gods or keeping assassins at bay easier
3. High DMG output - needs more cowbell but also good DMG
4. ULT ready quickly - enough said here


Cons:

1. Squishy
2. No quick get away from death
3. Low Mana
4. Lower survivability

Skills

Now most seasoned players will understand how Poseidon really works and I don't have enough knowledge to show the Skill building guide.
I will try to explain how I used the abilities and what for.

His passive is pretty good. On basic attacks it will allow him to do more damage with his 2 ability. Move faster once maxed and do more damage.

1 - Tidal Surge - can be used to clear minions, dish mad DMG to Gods and with good aiming capabilities you will be able to score in a few extra kills when Gods are on the retreat.

2 - Trident - I am not a fan of this ability i feel like it's pretty useless. Arguably useful in some cases ( again in my opinion ). Can be used to move faster and dish some extra DMG.

3 - Whirlpool - The bread and butter of Poseidon. It slows enemies down and has a very good DMG tick. I have used this with companions attacking together and somehow got the last hit kill while not trying to. In conjunction with "Gem of Isolation" this will just make it harder for Gods to escape and set them up for his ULT or his 1 ability.

4 - Kraken - ULT. I love this move. It is so useful in so many ways. Keep enemies back. Knocking Enemies into towers or into other Gods ULTs. and with a 30% cooldown you will be using this ULT every 50 seconds.

Items

- small DMG boost. Great mobility and a early start to that COOLDOWN. Also it has a passive of 15% cooldown as well.
- the extra DMG of 70 magical DMG is great and now it will also give a COOLDOWN of 20%
- This is when you can start to shine with holding your own and really allowing teammates to do good DMG as well as yourself. When you use an ability this item will slow down the GOD affected for 2s. KRAKEN TIME.
- Always needed. You can't hit tanks hard enough unless you have some Magic Penetration. Even better for the Kraken.
- this is just the icing on the cake for the release of the Kraken again and other abilities. ONce you kill an God you get 8 seconds off on your cooldowns. Since most of your cooldowns are already low. You get a free refreash on all your cooldowns and your ULT will get a very quick boost on Cooldown making it ready very quickly again.
- does this item need to be explained? It just makes you that much stronger. By late game you should be over 600 power I think?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to look at this build and let me know what I can do to be more of help.
