Hello, I'm Eldrin and this is my guide for the Arbiter of the Damned, Thoth. In this guide I'll primarily be showing you how to play and build as Thoth but I have added sections for things such as Stats, Match-ups, etc.
I will try to update this guide as future patches release so please feel free to comment any suggestions that you may have as to what I can add to the guide! :)

The combo of Glyph of Pain and Hieroglyphic Assault is Thoth's most reliable way of confirming damage. It can deal very high amounts of damage incredibly quickly (150/240/330/420/510 + 105% of your magical power) and as such is your main method of clearing waves and poking enemies from faraway. |
This is how you'll want to escape from enemies if they try ambushing you. Simply place the Glyph of Pain in front of you, dash using Evade and Punish, turn around and stun them through the glyph if the try pursuing you. If the enemy was at low health, the projectile might actually even be able to kill them. |
You basically just delete people from the game using this combo. It's all you need to 100-0 any and every squishy as long as you're even in levels and build progression. It can be countered by Stone of Fal's passive if your enemy decides to build it but you'll still be able to take off 30% of their max. hp if they do and follow up using your other abilities to kill them. |
This is a more complex ability combo and might require a bit of practice to learn how to pull it off but it's definitely worth it as you'll be able to deal a max. of 1250 + 270% of your magical power as damage. However, you must note that this is a very risky combo and may often leave you in a dire situation if you're not careful. You start off by activating Hieroglyphic Assault and then placing Glyph of Pain down in front you and shooting the Hieroglyphs towards your opponent to poke them for some damage. Immediately afterwards, use Evade and Punish to close the distance and stun them. Place the Glyph of Pain down once again and activate Hieroglyphic Assault as soon as it's ready to start firing once again and finish the enemy. Once Evade and Punish has come back up, retreat straight away to avoid being ganked with no abilties up. |
A variation of the previous combo you can perform if Final Judgement is up by replacing it for Hieroglyphic Assault. This is much easier to pull off than the previous one and allows you to take down your opponent much faster while enabling you to save your Hieroglyphic Assault just in case something goes wrong. |
Thoth is a very interesting Mage with the potential to completely dominate the battleground. There are dozens of different tricks and combos you can use to outmaneuver your enemy and so many approaches you can take when you play and build him depending on the situation of the game.
Something you must keep in mind is that everyone has a different playstyle and a build that may work for one might not work for you.
I recommend that you explore through the other guides present for Thoth, as well as watch some gameplay footage of people playing as him to see what suits your playstyle the most.
Thank you for reading my guide on Thoth and I hope that you found it helpful in someway or the other! :)

Additionally, if you decide to build Bancroft's Talon in your build as a second item (after Shoes of the Magi) and in your conquest match you happen to be facing 3 high physical damage dealers or 3 physical enemies that are ahead in levels, Breastplate of Valor can be a decent Physical Protection source due to its mana and 20% cooldown reduction, though this is only of course situational (and restricted to this build path I feel), but it's saved me quite a few times and the cooldown reduction allows you to spam abilities to make up for the loss in damage somewhat.
