Poseidon, the carrier.

Intro

Poseidon is an amazing god that can be pretty over power if used right. however i have to give it to hirez that he is actually BALANCED unlike some of the other new godds when they came out.
As he is a magical god my build might look pretty wrong as its building him csc but it actually works. dont judge it before you try it.

pros/cons

can hit very hard early game with his

Tidal Surge
can roll waves of creeps very quickly
has an insane amount of movement speed
auto attack can be insanely powerful

so squishy
if built as a carry, abilitys do very little damage
no leap ability
relies on keeping his passive

Changing Tides getting stacked

About the build

Warrior Tabi-provides additional movement speed and will allow for a better crit chance mid game you wont really see the effects early on.

Fatalis-untill the last patch i would NEVER buy this, but with its buff and posidons passive its great he surfs afer enemys at a speed akin to sprint with a ful tide meter this item however relies on you getting multiple hits on enemys this doesnt really worry poseidon though has he has his Trident

Warlock's Sash- this is quite important it is the only item in the build that increases the damage of your abiliys. it also turns you from a wimp that cant go near a team fight to one who is at the center of one. to get the stacks just farm with your Trident with the bonus 2 attacks you should last hit most of the creeps

Devourer's Gloves-this can be replaced with Soul Eater if you dont want to get the stacks, however you should get the last couple of stacks just after you get the fully stacked Warlock's Sash. give you a mch needed sustain albet a little later than you needed it, but still very handy

Ragethis is a key item it allows you to crit very very often and when you already fireing 3 attacks thanks too Trident you can do some very nice damage to multiple gods/waves of creeps

Deathbringer-this takes the crits you where doing to a whole new level the 50% extra damage from its passive is amazing

Tactics

Changing Tides-this passive is what this build is based about keep an eye on it before engaging and when chasing you may be better off attacking creeps to stack it than focusing the enemy god(if applicable)

Tidal Surge-to me this is an intiator harras or finisher. it doesnt do great damage thanks to low magical power but when ganking can push an enemy god right into the path of your team mates also very handy after an ult like ares

Trident-to me this is the bread and butter. it causes him to stack Changing Tides like crazy also you dont have to really worry about aiming its basicaly a long range cone attack you can also use this to get into or out of a lane quickly thanks to its bonus movement speed

Whirlpool-this is pretty useless in this build. its only bonus is it gets ride of movement buffs this is only really handed right before using release the kraken
or chasing/running

Release The Kraken!-BLUARGRARGRAL-flaiing limbs- this is just one visualy stunning ult. anyway this is a great, not really intiator but teamfight ability if ares has just ulted poping it down on top provides alot of cc and gives you time to clean up with your Trident and Tidal Surge i would advise against using your Whirlpool until after the ult as there no real cast time for Release The Kraken! us your Whirlpool as i chasing to slow them down

summary

this is my first guide on smitefire so please, judge away, i have no idea what the hell im doing. but one thing i do know how to do is play smite. anyway hope you find this guide at least partly useful and take some of this in game.
ciao all.
