Notes Ah puch has really bad sustain because of his mana problem. The best thing to do is to build tiny tinket and then into Bancroft's Talon so that you don't have to worry about health potions. stay behind your tank, if you have no tank, stay far behind minions. if you have no minions, stay behind you other squishies in joust. Ah puch is one of the squishiest gods in the game. if you are in an engagement by yourself, ult and use your combo. life steal is not very good on Ah Puch, but I find it important to stay in the fight. you cant heal through potions early because of all the mana. so you need life steal.

anti tank one shot build.

Notes of you are up against a monster tank that is getting you, then build just to kill them. Squishies will die no matter what damage items you build, because they are already one shot. Build Soul Reaver to kill those gods that build a ****-ton of health. When it gets to be late game, and you don't want life steal any more there are 2 options if you need to do insane damage. Either replace it with Rod of Tahuti, or, if you need to get away some times, Shaman's Ring. They both give you almost the same passive, but 1 gives you slightly less damage, but a ****-ton of extra movement speed. If you cant tank it, then run away. are you a tank or a fighter bomber? Do you unleash a payload and run away, praying not to die? Or are you a tank, that deals and can take so much damage that there is nothing left to kill you? also, If you need anti heal, look at anti heal builds

Pros / Cons

Pro- does the same crazy broken damage as zeus, but has anti heal in his ultimate!!!!
Con- has really bad mana problems
Con- is squishy
Con- must have gem of isolation to be viable if his teammates have no slows.

CHAAC!!!

This god is amazing with Chaac! In ranked play. use his 4 when chaacs ax rain is where the enemy team is, the slows stack, and cause the enemy team to be DECIMATED BY YOUR ABILITIES.

Main Build

you need life steal on Ah Puch early because of the mana. Gem of Isolation lets you not be one shot. Boots and Gem of Isolation are Interchangeable. you can remove Bancroft's Talon for Soul Reaver, Spear of Desolation, or Rod of Tahuti. If you still think that you are too one shot early game, then you can replace Bancroft's Talon with Soul Gem.

Starter

Ah puch has really bad sustain because of his mana problem. The best thing to do is to build Tiny Trinket and then into Bancroft's Talon so that you don't have to worry about health potions. Stay behind your tank, if you have no tank, stay far behind minions. If you have no minions, stay behind you other squishies in joust. Ah puch is one of the squishiest gods in the game. If you are in an engagement by yourself, ult and use your combo. Life steal is not very good on Ah Puch, but I find it important to stay in the fight. You cant heal through potions early because of all the mana. You need life steal.

Anti-tank one shot build

If you are up against a monster tank that is getting you, then build just to kill them. Squishies will die no matter what damage items you build, because they are already one shot. Build Soul Reaver to kill those gods that build a ****-ton of health. When it gets to be late game, and you don't want life steal any more there are 2 options if you need to do insane damage. Either replace it with Rod of Tahuti, or, if you need to get away some times, Shaman's Ring. They both give you almost the same passive, but one gives you slightly less damage, but a ****-ton of extra movement speed. If you cant tank it, then run away. Are you a tank or a fighter bomber? Do you unleash a payload and run away, praying not to die? Or are you a tank, that deals and can take so much damage that there is nothing left to kill you? also, If you need anti heal, look at the anti heal builds

Cooldowns, defense items, and Gem of Isolation.

If you don't have at least 30% cooldowns, you have a problem. Cooldowns turn Ah Puch into a monster. If a defense item has no cooldowns, then I wouldnt get it. Cooldowns are very important for this god. Gem of Isolation IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM YOU COULD GET ON AH PUCH!! It gives you health, magical power, and slows. It is a fantastic item for his 4 and his 3. In fact, if you dont get Gem of Isolation then his ultimate is almost useless. Gem of isolation is a defensive item also. I cant tell you how many times i have been chased by the entire enemy team and I popped my 4. The slows kept them from catching me and saving my life. YOU MUST GET GEM OF ISOLATION ON HIM NO MATTER YOUR BUILD.

Book of thoth and why it is so good on Ah puch.

[Book of Thoth] Is a very good item on Ah Puch. It gives you both mana, magical power, and Mp5. this really helps you mid game. I do not recommend getting this right off the bat. [Book of Thoth] Is a really good Item for the mana sustain. but having life steal can save you in certain situations. Extra healing is always good. Yes, Ah Puch can Heal by eating minions. But it doesn't help you when you are in a fight and your teammates are dead.

His 1

His one is very good for doing damage. It gives you slows and gives you corpses to eat. it is his main source of damage for his 2. One thing that you can do defensively is when you are engaging someone who is auto-attacking you, don't detonate the corpses. The auto attacks will hit the corpses and can save you in those 1v1 fights sometimes. plus, you can eat the corpses while fighting(sometimes) another thing about not detonating corpses. It gives you cooldowns. It is so funny when I use my combo and they think I have no abilities. Then, I quickly eat some corpses I have laying around. I quickly use my combo that I just used a second ago and completely catch them off guard. It can get you kills.

His 2

His two is the main source of damage. It makes the corpses you set on the ground explode! You combo in the following orders: 132, 312, 12, or 4132. there are some benefits to not using his two. You have to determine if the benefits out weigh the losses.

His 3

His three is very interesting. it works well with [Gem of Isolation] If you are against people with healing abilities that are used during the duration like [Aphrodite], [Jon que], or [Chaac], then you also get a stun in the end. by the time you get to stun him, you just pop your three on him again and it gets to be quite aids.

His 4

His four is the ultimate ability on Ah Puch. It is a great equalizer in the 1v# fights where you are out numbered and you need to survive some how or need an edge. [Spear of magus] is a good item for this, [Gem of Isolation] Is also a good Item for this ability. it is also why I think [Bancroft's Talon] is worth getting on Ah Puch.

Bancroft's Talon

His 4 makes this item worth getting. when you hit multiple people with his 4 and fight. You can get in there and be kind of tanky. The slows are aids and the damage is significant. It is an item that will work on any mage because of how good it is.

Everything is Situational!!!

EVERYTHING IS SITUATIONAL. Don't expect to 1v3 or 1v2 or 1v5 and win every engagement with this god. He is a monster when he is fed. If you do feel like you can win an engagement then do it. I do not recommend fighting multiple enemies at the same time by yourself without your 4 being ready and being at least 2 levels ahead!!! Certain things I talk about with his 2 are situational.

I really think you should get Book of Thoth over Bancroft's Talon. It provides a lot more mana and power, specifally since the mid-season buff to it, not only that but it works well with high mana items like Book of the Dead's passive and Soul Reaver, I would understand why you got bancrofts if you said it was for the lifesteal early game, but instead you claim it is for "mana" so therefore I cannot agree. Obsidian Shard is good on Ah Puch if you're building power, but Spear of the Magus can also be considered.

I do find getting boots third very questionable. Yes, Gem of Isolation can help avoid the enemy getting too close to you, but without boots it won't do that job good enough, especially if this is a conquest build (Although it seems like this one is for joust).

Assuming Joust, I would build: Book of Thoth, Shoes of Focus, Gem of Isolation, Spear of the Magus, Chronos' Pendant, Soul Reaver.

Or: Book of Thoth, Shoes of Focus, Spear of Desolation, Obsidian Shard, Soul Reaver, Book of the Dead.

Start would be Mage's Blessing, Spellbook, 2 x Mana Potion and 1 Healing Potion.

If you have to worry about both mana and health, then Ah Puch is a very bad early. He would absolutely lose on his early game. By having life steal early, you remove the need for health potions and you add mana to his mana pool. if you look at the starter, there is little to no health potions. That is because even with the mana buff, it is very hard to stay in the fight mana wise. Getting life steal in a way helps make up for the lack of health potions. This will help with the mana problem early game. P.S I mainly play joust.

Then I agree with Kriega. Based on your statement purchasing Book of Thoth early game is WAY better for your mana hunger than getting lifesteal. Until you do you get lifesteal (which I wouldn't reccomend), you should rely on your corpses and pots for health regen.
