Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any ally may use. The portal may be entered from either side, but closes after 1 use.

If placed on the ground, enemies and Janus will fall into the portal, being teleported into the air above it. Enemies take damage upon landing, and are considered banished during the fall.

Introduction

DISCLAIMER: You don't have to use all those items, they are mainly options. It all depends on your play style, the enemies' play style and who you are up against. If you feel like you might need the defence because they are dealing way too much damage, you can have a variety of choices which I offer in the items list.

I hope it works out for you guys, especially the newer guys trying to find your God. Remember not to judge just because of looks or having a bad match, try it out and see what works for you and whether the God you are trying suits you or not.

Before you go on with my builds, I strongly suggest you play the objective!

Skills






When Passages activated when you go through Portal Threshold. This gives him extra damage.
Portal Banishes enemy's for a short duration(Can banish self to avoid damage if timed right. Such as Ymir Shards of Ice.
Unstable Vortex Is Janus's main damaging ability. When an enemy is hit by both Vortex's the damage is increased by 30%
Threshold Boosts friendly movement speed, This also slows the enemy when walked over and increases the damage done.
Through Space and Time can deal a large amount of damage. If you hit an enemy from a distance of 800 then then damage is doubled. Through Space and Time acts like Portal And allows you and your allies to walk through. There is a large cast time so be careful and this also makes you CC immune like Greater Purification.

Tips & Tricks

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
