I don't like to play neith adc (late leveling at start cause of supp) but i like to play power neith in mid,solo and even as jungler(with blink).
Build in such order
Starter only for jungler, otherways 2 of each pots for middler, or 2 green pots for solo.
Transcendence (that just must have for neith)
Warrior Tabi (we dont need pew-pew auto we need to caboom hard with skills)
Soul Eater (that's your health sustain and CD reduction)
Jotunn's Wrath (pen and cap CD reduction early)
Heartseeker (+pen now you combos just kill anyone but tanks)
Brawler's Beat Stick (+pen and heal reduction allways useful)
Elixir of Speed
The Crusher (+pen, attack speed, and some dmg bonus)

Now you have pen and dmg cap (with red pot or buff) and you health recovery with soul eater is amasing

That build isn't that great. Has 40% cdr when power pot now gives 10% cdr, and has Soul Eater which isn't even that good on hunters (idk, just whenever I buit it on ability hunters it always felt weak to me, i'd rather have asi or bloodforge), and has no percentage pen.

So drop either soul eater or jotunns from that build and pick up titans bane.

Also building Ninja Tabi is fine, it gives mana to take advantage of trans passive as well.

(13) |

I honestly think is a underrated item for ability-based hunters and assassins.

Only buff to it I saw since I tested it a while ago was some extra 5% lifesteal to the base stat which I don't think makes it worth for ability hunters. I even sold a stacked one lategame one match it felt so bad.

Like here's the items you need to justify picking Soul Eater over:

Trans, Bloodforge, Crusher/Beatstick, Heartseeker, Asi, Titan's Bane, O-Bow, Exe, Qins.

(105) |

You pretty much describe the first ability build, only a slightly less optimal build path If you aks me.

(401) |

As an FYI, you mention the possibility of getting ...but it's not anywhere in your situational items at the top. It should be there.

Also, your tips should include the more specific tip (unless I missed it) about using a broken weave with . Specifically, for stronger clear, especially against the higher health melee minions, you don't shoot the spirit arrow until the melee ones have passed the weave. Then you shoot through them for the initial damage, THEN it hits the weave and you get additional damage on both the melee AND the ranged. That's where you get the more efficient clear.

(401) |

Also, at this point, I think is outshone depending on build. In the example you have, it works and is pretty meta, but I think might be the better option there. Much higher power potential (works great with her ability scaling), counters enemy ADCs/assassins, and just a bit less AS. Also, when you build into , the power difference between Warrior and Ninja isn't all that huge that you can't consider Ninja's for better basic attack DPS. Of course, you'll replace Tabi late anyway, but that's something to consider.

(143) |

In the runeforged build I would get trans before runeforged because you need to stack it.

(81) |

pairs really well with (attack speed and protection reduction) and O-bow (attack speed). I wouldn't build Qin's without exe, personally.

(143) |

You can build qins without executioner on neith if you pick up o-bow:

Trans, warrior, crusher, titans, qins, o-bow.

(143) |

trans, warrior, crusher, titans, qins, odysseus' bow. You don't need executioner. But you can build it I guess.

(143) |

I mean you can get away with titans and qins without exe on Neith but then you have to build O-bow because your attack speed will be so low.

(72) |

Seems very decent ability based builds +1

However you will have to update your skill leveling order 'cause different from lol, in smite is not possible get the ultimate at level 5 (max) until level 20

Comment has been deleted

(72) |

No problem. But, it still impossible. The levels that the ulti is available to upgrade are: 5,9,13,17,20.

You should also be prioritising points in your ult before fully maxing the 3.

No heartseeker? Malice in season 6???

Comment has been deleted

(143) |

In build 2 swap malice for heartseeker. Deathbringer can be swapped for bloodforge.

Though an alternative build with it:

Trans, Warrior, Jotunns, beatstick (or crusher), heartseeker, titans bane (or bloodforge).

Also for your "attack speed" build I would sell jotunns lategame for odysseus' bow to get more benefit from qins. Or instead what you could do is go: trans, warrior, crusher, titan's bane, qins, odysseus's bow, sell boots lategame for either executioner, jotunns or bloodforge.

Hey, just a quick question. What start would you recommend for ? I've tried + pots, however I was wondering if you recommend anything else.

Comment has been deleted

(143) |

Hunter's blessing if you're adc otherwise you always go mage's blessing in mid lane for the faster clear.

(143) |

Either that start or mage's blessing and tier 1 transcendence + pots.

(143) |

I would get instead of . I'd also get instead of . And lategame you could sell for . Brawler's Beatstick can also be a decent alternative to . Since this is a an ADC build and not a mid build I guess it's fine to build a little bit of attack speed, but i'd rather just build her ability based: Warrior Tabi (can sell for ninja tabi lategame), Transcendence, Crusher, Jotunns/brawlers, Titan's Bane, bloodforge, sell crusher for oddyseus' bow.

The only defense items I would consider (in certain situations) are: , , or a physical/magical defense item against a 4 physical/magical enemy composition in conquest.

(46) |

I disagree with you favoring titans bane over qins and o.bow over crusher.

Bloodforge is debatable. See what bran wrote down below.

(46) |

Neith is an ability based adc (attack damage carry). Your build provides low penetration and power, due to you building double defense. I dont agree with your full build, but the dmaage options you posted are good. Your skill order is all over the place.

Hi Perfect, after you are finished with your edits, please press "Save" and "Publish" for the guide to be visible to others.

Also, as Tlaloc pointed out, a hunter should only build defense in extreme cases.
In my opinion, you can list defense under optional items, but I wouldn't include it in the example build.

Remember, an ADC needs 3 things:
1) Power. I'm not talking about (It's a good item on Neith, but it's not the core damage item I'm talking about). Either build critical hit items, or somewhere in your build (I think benefits her more since she's ability based). These are the high damage items a hunter will use to dispose of their enemies.
2) Penetration - include as an option since Neith is aiblity based.
3) Lifesteal - you don't have this anywhere in your build.
might be a good choice for neith due to the +15 flat penetration.

At the end of the day, it is your guide, so do whatever you want with our advice.

Also you'd overcapped CDR w/ BoV + Jotunn's + Trans.

If in Conquest, is a solid item immediately after . You can consider to be optional in Conquest, but it's great if you're in a teamfight mode like Arena or Clash.

If you're getting , you'll probably want more attack speed...you can keep the rest of the build, but late game replace with ...the 20% AS will help more for your DPS compared to 20 higher power from Warrior.

Oh, and since you mention Conquest, your starting items don't work (they add up to 2,100 gold, which is 600 above starting). You're probably best going with + T1 Trans + Potions, or just starting with .

In my opinion, this looks much more like a standard neith build. It looks a lot better than what you had at first. I like it. Let's see what bran muffin has to say. Good job on the edits.

(401) |

Yeah, definitely looks more solid. Here are some other considerations (my opinion):

Late game, you might still consider switching Ninja Tabi, especially when you opt for Qin's Sais. That commitment to Qin's means you'll expect to do decent damage with basics, and you want to get the most out of its passive as possible. Adding attack speed by switching Tabi is one way to do that.
Asi is a common pairing with Transcendence, but with Neith's healing in Unravel you might opt to skip lifesteal. This will allow you to get a different item with some other utility. The other negative about Asi with Neith is that she has such strong scaling in her abilities...Asi has 0 power, so you lose out there.
I think getting Jotunn's Wrath for her is okay as a strong commitment to being a physical mage and spamming abilities. If you do that, you might choose altogether to skip that basic attack function, and go all out with both Brawler's Beat Stick and either Titan's Bane or Hydra's Lament.
If you do skip either Asi or Jotunn's Wrath, keep Qin's and add The Executioner.

thanks! yea when trying the new build out i found that the lifesteal aspect of asi wasn't really worth it (it could be the way i did my build bc i know asi is usually good) - ive replaced asi with the executioner and ive added a second build with your other advice since i couldnt cover everything in one build!

(46) |

Huh. That's interesting. I thougt all hunters required either qins or at least 2 crit items. I thought asi was good on her due to the +10 flat pen. The reason I also suggested asi was because of attack speed boost for qins sais.

The best bet would be to keep asi and replace jotuns with the executioner. Keep in mind, he does list executioner as an option.

(401) |

If you're building traditional hunters with a focus on basic attacks, then yes, either or 2 crit items are usually core.

The "problem" here is that Perfectium has committed strongly to abilities by adding to the example build. If you're going to do that, then I feel just going full ability is likely better.

In my last point above, I did say skip either Asi or Jotunn's, and add Exe...so yes, that fits with what you concluded. Exe + Asi + Ninja + Qin's is plenty of attack speed to get good use out of Qin's passive.

Asi isn't specifically good just due to flat pen. It's been nerfed that way, and given an attack speed boost to compensate. So it's skewed in the direction of basic attack focus.

(46) |

Yea that's what I was trying to say. Asis attack speed helps with the qins passive. The 10 flat pen is definitely nice though.

(17) |

Most adcs don't build protections unless really necessary fyi
