You should always get your base protections online first (e.g. Sovereignty) unless your ADC can outclear the enemy ADC because of how Gauntlet of Thebes stacks.
I usually go Void Stone third, but seeing how the enemy team only had one magical god and 3 self-healers, I would have picked up Pestilence instead; that would have put a serious dent into Artemis' healing since she went double life-steal, same with Thanatos.
I prefer Spirit Robe over Mantle of Discord on tanks because the former has a shorter cooldown timer (15 seconds vs 90), so its passive is up more often. Mantle is good for squishy characters who aren't on the front lines to help protect them from being burst down by the enemy.
For the last item, I would have gone with either Hide of the Nemean Lion or Emperor's Armor depending on how the objective push was going and whether or not the Art was focusing me.
Relics are situational, but Magic Shell and Heavenly Wings are good starters depending on whether or not my ADC has an escape. I saved Bran in a conquest game last night because I had the later and he was able to get out of range of the enemy duo before they were able to kill him. Shell is a good second relic, as is Shield of Thorns. Which one you buy depends upon how the match is going and how focused the other team is on you: if they're fighting you every time you show up, grab thorns; otherwise grab shell for objective push and team fights.
At the end of the day, your team won and it looks like you were a big part of that. The only real issue I see with your build is the relative lack of CDR. You should shoot for 30, if not 40, whenever possible because your team counts on your CC abilities in team fights.
Every match is different, but I hope the above helps you out in the future, Wayne. Nice job on that match though. :)
Just wanna share this match . The numbers are just okay, but the match was extremely good. I never felt so good in a game like this one. Just to have an idea, ins less then 20min Cupid was 14/2 and me 5/1 ( Artio and Hachiman were level 9 while me and Cupid were level 16). I've never played with a duo so good with Cupid like this guy (although he uses crits on cupid, ew...).
I had a Skadigame the other day where I outdamaged everybody but lost because of idiot teammates who kept diving for kills. The enemy Anubis never really showed up and my The Morrigan kept dcing and reconnecting. Still, I'm happy with my performance.
Cerberus solo carrying the game. I got really mad with that Bellona 'cause she left the wave/totem to me just to steal my blue buff, so I DO TRIED EVERYTHING to kill her starting with the build "try-hard". I ended top damage with a surrender after this triple kill of my friend using me as bait.
