Raijin: The True Lightning God

Hey, this is my first Smite fire build, so any and all constructive criticism will be appreciated. Ever since Raijin came out on XBI, I have loved his insane burst damage, and ability to swap out his damage for sustain. I have crafted a build that I use for mid-laning in Conquest, and a good Joust 3v3 build. Getting doom orb stacked early is key to your burst, and the cool down is always nice. Late/ mid game, CDR boots can be and should be exchanged for pen boots.

Some pros are his insane burst (obviously,) his ability to swap damage for defense if needed, and the fact that he can shred through tank-y gods like Ymir and Ares.

Some cons are the fact that his early game damage is his only escape, and his lack of mobility if caught off guard without beads or sanctuary. This makes these actives almost always a must.
