Red Camp|
Mid Game At this part of the game you already make a nice amount of damage, rotations are coming up and you have to stick with your team, you have to group to the first team fights, the winning team will get an objective, that can be a big scorpion, tower, a gold fury, a pyromancer or even the fire giant, make sure to stay in a safe place and try to make a high amount of damage to the enemy team. Try to always get all the camps available, it's important as a mage to get ahead on farming (but in the company of your support, you don't want to get caught alone). |
|
|
|
Late Game At this moment mages can unleash all their power, you must stick with your support, he's the only one that can save you from being one-shotted, as long you are with your supp you should be able to do a great amount of damage to the enemy trying to focus the dangerous ones (adc, jungler, mid), team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match. |
|
|
Purple (& Red) Camp|
First Wave After clearing the firsts waves, the junglers will come to mid, usually they go for the mid camp near them (No. 3), but you have to be careful for a possible gank, if not you can help the jungler to clear the mid camp, or go to clear the other xp camp (No. 4). |
|
Mid Game You will have a lot of near camps to farm, with some lifesteal and attack speed you won't have trouble clearing them, even if you don't have lifesteal you can kill a lane scorpion (No. 5) or (No. 8) to heal you 210 hp (wait for 10 ticks of heal), you can rotate or help your team to kill an objective, that can be a tower, a gold fury, a pyromancer or even the fire giant (there's always the option to split push and take towers, but is situational) If the only way is to defend and the enemy team is far from you, you can take down that tower. Remember to ward your lane to avoid ganks and secure your push. |
|
|
Late Game Stick with your support, he's the only one that can save you from being one-shotted, as long you are with your supp you should be able to do a great amount of damage to anyone, you can attack the first one is in front of you but prioritize the strongest enemy or god your team is focusing, team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match, always put your life before others, the adc is the one who can easily kill phoenix or fire giant. |
|
|
|
Late Game You should be careful because you can get shredded if you don't have enough tanky items, you must focus on distracting or try to kill the adc or mid who are the ones that make dmg on their team, team fights at this time can decide who'll win the match, killing the adc or mid make your work worthy, if you're taking an objective and there are strong enemies alive you must watch the zone of the jungle, looking for enemies and stop to avoid an objective steal. |

| Recommended Build |
Divine Ruin, where you want to counter healer gods, you should get it as 3rd or 4th item, another example is to change similar items like getting 
Soul Gem instead of 
Spear of Desolation for more sustain without losing coldown.
Shoes of the Magi or 
Shoes of Focus before finishing the starter item. As summary I'll put 5 simplified builds for 5 types of mages (the 7th item is when you sell your shoes):
Pendulum of Ages).
Blood-Soaked Shroud or 
Sacrificial Shroud).
Archmage's Gem or 
Gem of Focus).
Blood-Soaked Shroud or Sacrificial Shroud).
Death's Embrace).
| Counterpicks |
Poseidon being a counter for everyone with dash or leaps.

Dragon Call, 
Wild Storm, basic attacks.Tips
King of the Eastern Seas has an execute threshold of 30% of health. When you have ult the best lane to gank first is the duo lane, most of the time they're in the middle of the lane and the tower is far away, with some cc from your support you can execute someone and come down fast if your team is in trouble for a counter gank. Dragon Call and make enough dmg to execute before they can run.
Magi's Cloak or something that can save you from hard cc, if you come up and get stunned, probably you're already dead and did nothing about it, you must dive when they're distracted, save your bubble for a cc hit, and harass the helpless one if you can execute someone do it and you're safe.Notes

Wild Witchcraft, 
Baba's Brew, 
Home Sweet Home.Tips Wild Witchcraft to not lose pressure in the lane. Another good option is to start with Baba's Brew and keep upgrading your 1st ability. Baba's Brew, just press right-click to save that potion, if you have one already press 2 again to switch to your previous potion.
Blast Off! is a very op escape since it is a leap and you're knock-up immune while casting, use it wisely. Only use Home Sweet Home when you have a good vision of your enemies, try to wait when they're together or with low mobility since your ult is pretty slow to hit.Notes

Wrap It Up, 
Consign Spirits, 
Vivid Gaze.Tips Vivid Gaze make him faster to clear the first waves, he can poke well the enemy team and punish them for not having a good sustain as Baron. The strength with Baron is to constantly pull your enemies in your tower, even if not you still have a lot of cc to punish your opponent.
Hysteria you can do very high damage to tanks, even when you defensive items in your build.Notes

Waxing Moon, 
Crescent Moon Dance, 
Moonflower Dance, Crescent Moon Dance.Tips Crescent Moon Dance has a nice early clear due to its low cooldown, once you get mana or mp5 in your build you don't need to back to base so often.
Moonlit Waltz or Waxing Moon, your heal and your cc make you useful in team fights. Moonlit Waltz have a very high cooldown at tier 1, so you may don't wanna go out without it, don't play aggressive if you don't have that ability ready to avoid an ult.Notes

Discordia ()
Strife, 
Unruly Magic,

Death From Below, 
Shroud of Darkness, 
Devour Souls, basic attack, 
Pillar of Agony.Tips Devour Souls to clear the wave, it looks kinda weak but if you basic attack most of the minions (and maybe the enemy god) you'll clear the wave very fast for the bonus damage of 
Blight. Being a range god will make it easier to be the first one killing the totem since it only takes a few basic attacks to kill it. Pillar of Agony makes you super tanky and deal a lot of damage.Notes

Waterspout, 
Water Cannon, 
Crushing Wave.Tips Water Cannon has a very low cooldown, it helps him to get an advantage on level 1 in the solo lane or the middle lane, in the jungle you may want to get a HoG. In the early game, you have normal clear and you can farm very well. Crushing Wave, try not to be exposed at the end of the ult.Tips

Circle of Protection.Tips Wing Gust (+knock back and root immunity).
Funeral Rites grants a lot of benefits for her team, she can only be countered by another high cc god that can dodge her stun and silence, you can use your ult to kill secure but it is better if you save it for objectives, you can do both with the proper cooldown.Notes

Kukulkan ()
Zephyr, 
Whirlwind, 
Spirit of the Nine Winds.Tips Zephyr is useful to clear harpy camps. Spirit of the Nine Winds has a very low cooldown compared to others, even if you're losing Kukulkan has a nice defensive kit. Whirlwind or knock-up gods with Spirit of the Nine Winds, also you can slow then and then fly away with 
Slipstream.Notes

Eclipse, 
Vortex. Eclipse, Vortex, Elemental Mastery, Blizzard, Frostbolt. Blizzard, Frostbolt, Elemental Mastery, 
Dragonfire, 
Radiate.Tips Blizzard to the speed camp through the wall at sec 20 (it has a deploy time of 0.7s and lasts 4s so don't worry about not getting the xp and farm), now get to the lane and switch to the Fire Stance, cast of Dragonfire while you can basic attack the archers, with that you have a lot of advantage to poke the enemy or get some farm in the jungle. Elemental Mastery ready if you're in cooldown and need to defend yourself, Ice Stance is the best stance for poke and protect yourself, Fire Stance is the best stance for killing people and Arcane Stance is the best at the start of team fights when you need to huge AoE damage from a safe distance.
Flicker you can escape and avoid a lot of abilities or ults, even you can pass through player-made walls such as 
Ice Wall, 
Tectonic Rift or 
Ring of Spears. Flicker and Elemental Mastery) or you're dead instantly.Notes

Siphon Darkness, 
Shadow Lock, 
Night Terror.Tips
Flame of the Night when game starts. Siphon Darkness, poke your enemy with Shadow Lock and escape with 
Shadow Step, you ult is good to secure kills or reduce the enemy damage (when they're going to ult you or something). She has a very safe escape because you can disappear in your support's body for 8 seconds, and she has high damage, even if you fail hitting shadow lock is a strong root and cripple that, if your team is near they can just focus the god you locked.Tips

Sanctified Field, 
Consecration, 
Overflowing Divinity, basic attacks until the target reach the ground, Overflowing Divinity, 
Focused Light.Tips Overflowing Divinity and you have more crits of 
Touch of Fate, magical crits may not be as strong as physical crits, but in late game and with a powerful build you can beat a full crit hunter. If you hit your ult and knock-up in time there's no way they can run from you.Notes

Grasp of Death, 
Bone Rush, 
Harvest, 
Flourish.Tips Bone Rush for a standard push or you can start with Harvest to focus and punish the enemy god. I recommend Harvest since you can leave 3 plants in the speed buff, 3 plants in the middle then go back to detonate the plants at second 20 and then return to middle to detonate the other plants, you will be almost full if you do all that before the minions spawn (it takes 48 seconds to recharge 6 plants, 29 at full coldown) you can use the rest of them to clear the wave, you won't have trouble if you're in a good position. Grasp of Death can be use to snape gods, lock them to kill'em or to start a team fight, also is useful to prevent them from escaping applying cripple and roots.Notes

Whirlpool, 
Release The Kraken!, 
Tidal Surge, 
Trident, basic attacks.Tips Trident. Tidal Surge through the wall at speed camp, is a great ability to clear and has a normal cooldown, is not that hard to keep 
Changing Tides full, try to always maintain that passive full, it will help you to come back to lane faster, farm in the jungle faster and rotate faster than your opponent, ganks at early game (+level 5) to the duo lane can help a lot, if you do, don't go with your jungler (unless you're sure you gonna get those guys down), try to be sneaky. If your duo was having a bad time, now is the time to go ahead and if you're able you can even kill the gold fury. Release The Kraken! is a good ability to secure objectives, but you have to calculate the deploy time, if your ult is in cooldown you can use Tidal Surge.Notes

Solar Blessing, 
Divine Light, 
Celestial Beam, 
Searing Pain.Tips Celestial Beam, pretty decent to clear, next you get Solar Blessing to heal you, heal your wave and try to damage melee minions, that can be very annoying for your opponent, once you get your 3 abilities you can start poking your enemy while clearing the wave, you can use Celestial Beam for minions and Divine Light to blind your enemy and Solar Blessing to avoid getting too much damage. Searing Pain is the best ult to steal and objective since its deploy time is almost instantly, it has a very low cooldown and can deal a lot of damage, you can secure them as well.

Percussive Storm as a main ability attack is not that strong, is pretty slow to cast and be canceled pretty easy before you can get the final hits, however, once you got the entire kit you're still a strong mage that can destroy anyone with Taiko Drums, also you have a teleport escape being immune for ults like Ring of Spears and 
Gravity Surge. Charged Tempo helps you to get your abilities faster, and once your 1 is high enough you can use Raiju to poke hard your opponent. Thunder Crash can be very good to detonate Raiju when playing aggressive.Notes

Sic 'Em, 
Crush or 
I'm a Monster.Tips Crush in a high tier, you can leave the ability at the second 16 (takes 5 secs to explode) and go straight for the wave, that's a way you can rush clearing the first wave and gain some advantage. I'm a Monster is a pretty strong ability to secure or steal objectives, and if you're lucky (or very good) you'd be able to fire it again. She's a safe pick due to her escape 
Sentinel that also works as a temporal ward (but don't use it as a ward, only if you're with your support and has strong cc), you may want to be with good with grabs/pull/taunts such as Khepri, Sylvanus and Athena, that helps you to secure the hit of your ult if the enemy doesn't have beads.Notes

Radiance, stellar busrt, 
Supernova.Tips Radiance at first level if you're with a great pusher supp (like Amaterasu, Ares, etc.), Sol can punish pretty well in the duo lane if she clears the wave first.
Purification Beads or 
Aegis Amulet (you can use Supernova to for cc immune if you don't have relics), also it takes 3 seconds to charge and you can get a lot of damage by no having escape, so you may wanna play behind your supp sometimes.

Dark Omen, 
Deadly Aspects, basic attack.Tips Dark Omen is such a great ability, can clear nice the wave, has a very low cooldown and works pretty well to punish or poke enemy gods, you clear pretty fast the jungle camps as well so farming won't be a problem with her, Deadly Aspects is so useful for early ganks, or cancel channeling abilities. As The Morrigan you can counter any god with 
Changeling, at the start has a high cooldown, but still works well to copy the work of any god in the match, you gank duo or solo lane transformed in a jungler, you can chase your opponent with their ults.Notes

Glyph of Pain, 
Hieroglyphic Assault, repeat or 
Final Judgement.Tips Hieroglyphic Assault to poke the god at the same time you're trying to clear the wave, if you hit all the hieroglyphs you will have a cooldown of 5s (1.8s with 40% cooldown). The problem with Thoth is that he can get caught so easy since his escape is a simple dash and his ult doesn't give him cc immunity, still can play from a very safe distance to prevent those dangerous ganks and save his dash to use it with Glyph of Pain. Final Judgement can be cast quickly to hit a snipe, and if you charge it can deal a great amount of damage to almost one shot somebody, can be also useful to steal or secure an objective since you can detonate it whenever you want.Notes

Magma Bomb, 
Inferno Cannon, 
Backfire.Tips Backfire is good to get at level 1, has a low cooldown and decent damage, you won't any trouble clearing camps, even if you return to base you can leave Inferno Cannon pushing the next wave while you're coming back.
Earthshaker (since it has 120 range), you want to be stick with your team all the times, wait for someone to cc somebody so you can throw you combo, with Vulcan you have to play safety because you don't have long escapes or leaps.Funny Note

Aegis Assault, 
Chain Lightning, detonate.Tips Chain Lightning at level 1 or Aegis Assault, chain lightning can be used easily to push the speed camp and leave but you will struggle to clear the wave with that, aegis assault can be placed in the speed camp but it has a long cooldown since you have to wait for 17s to have it again but is much better than chain lightning to clear the wave.
Lightning Storm in a panic attack if you can deal with all his cons you may benefit of his pros, he can one-shot any mage at any rank with the full combo, your ult is the best to secure a zone when killing an objective, and you can clear jungle camps pretty well with chain lightning and detonate.

Expose Evil, 
Exorcism, 
Book of Demons.Tips
Demon Bag is pretty nice for early protections but at the moment is super nerfed, takes a lot of time to stack it and when you have almost full stacks if you die or ult, you lose half or worse if you do both you'll lose 2/3 of your stacks. Book of Demons is very useful to cancel enemy abilities like Bellona's 
Bludgeon, Guan Yu's 
Taolu Assault, King Arthur's 
Bladestorm or Nike's 
Rend.
Recall Demons is very useful if you're attacking gods use the mark to stun 'em, it's okay if you prefer using Exorcism but it helps you to make them take more hits from your ult. Also is a great chance to dive with thorns or just dive into squishies since you get a max of 60 protections while Recall Demons is active. Expose Evil on everything (specially when pushing minions at first levels) try to leave the mark for 3-4s to make more damage, if you remove the mark earlier only a 75% of the remaining damage is done.

1. How much time did you killed into this guide?
2. When will other guides come like this example: adc, jungle, solo etc
If you're also looking for complete builds for gods in general, the Conq guide has some build examples for ADC you might consider. Other than those, I suggest any updated 8.1 builds by Kriega1, Didacted, Big damage, DiscoFerry, xMysterioNz, and AmoralOne. There are some other good individual guides by others as well that are of great quality.
