The Egyptian God: Anubis, God of the Dead

Greetings all, I've been playing Smite for a while and have tested many gods out but a god I can thoroughly enjoy to play despite him being squishy is Anubis. You can build him really well so he hits like a truck, so long as you can play smart with him.

Anubis The God of the Dead
Jackal-headed Anubis holds the ultimate judgement over the dead, measuring every heart against the weight of Truth.

Nephthys, wife of Set - the God of Darkness, desired a child, yet her husband was infertile, so Nephthys disguised herself as Isis, the wife of Set's brother Osiris, and seduced him. From that union, Anubis was born. Osiris cared for Anubis as his own, but when Osiris was murdered by his evil brother, Set, Anubis embalmed his adopted father and mummified the corpse so he would not rot. This preservation passed down to the Faithful, for it was good enough for the Gods, it was good enough for man.

None enter the abyss of the Underworld without first being tested by Anubis. When corpses are preserved, he is the embalmer. When time for judgement comes, he is the final arbiter. In his realm, he keeps legendary weighing scales. On one side, the massive weight of Ma'at - truth and order. On the other side, he places the heart of the deceased. Should the weight of Ma'at prove infinitely heavier than that of the heart, Anubis casts the soul deep into the darkness of the Underworld, where it is forgotten, never to be reborn.

Initiating

When entering a team fight, gank or 1v1 you should always enter the fight using Mummify. It gives you an immediate advantage in the fight. After that if you follow up with Grasping Hands as fast as you can and follow that up with Death Gaze (or Plague of Locusts if that is on CD) it will either instantly kill them or make them very weak.

Escaping

When attempting to eject yourself from a situation that has either turned sour or the odds are against you and your team you want to hopefully Mummify the closest on to you, drop Grasping Hands either right on top of yourself or just in front of yourself.

Team Fights

Anubis is exceptionally well used in team fights due to the factor that all his abilities are Area of Effect. Entering the team fight stunning an important enemy team member OR the most fed god is always helpful. Follow that with dropping Grasping Hands in the group and use either Death Gaze or Plague of Locusts to wither their health away. Anubis can usually be the difference between losing and winning a team fight.
