Smite God: Anhur

Tap Mouse over an item or ability icon for detailed info

Anhur Build

Core

Notes The core of the build. These items are irreplaceable, with the exception of which needs to be sold late game.

Hunter's Blessing: Provides an AA stim and rewards you for doing your job as the Carry. Late game sold for Titan's Bane
Devourer's Gauntlet: For in-lane sustain and boxing with your enemy carry
Warrior Tabi: Since Anhur is an ability based god, this aids in damage and gives him somewhat of an early power spike

Hunter's Blessing

Devourer's Gauntlet

Warrior Tabi

Start

Notes

Spiked Gauntlet: Later built into Devourer's Gauntlet
Healing Potion and Mana Potions: Coupled with Devourer's Gauntlet to give you keep you in lane via sustain. Adjust the amount of each you buy to your own preference
Purification Beads: Usually, the average player would either buy Aegis Amulet or this. I believe these are usually better as most ADCs rely on some form of CC before killing you, which you could escape with Purification Beads and Disperse. Aegis Amulet is still an option however. Personal preference plays a part.

Full Build

Notes

Ichaival: A bridge item. Useful for boxing, makes you stronger while the enemy ADC gets weaker. Sell this late game for Odysseus' Bow
The Executioner: One of your sources of penetration, makes your damage against tanks higher
Qin's Sais: Extra damage, percentage based. Allows you to deal a lot of damage to tanks. Requires high attack speed and penetration. Does not go well with crit. Keep that in mind if you plan on modifying the build.

*Final Build

Notes

Titan's Bane: An extra source of penetration, help when you need to use an ability straight away and can't basic attack to activate The Executioner's passive. Replace this for Brawler's Beat Stick if there's a healer or strong self healer on the enemy team.
Odysseus' Bow: Goes well with Qin's Sais due to the very high attack speed it provides

Introduction - Who is Anhur?

Credit goes to Getsukeii on Deviantart. Check him out by clicking on the image!

is an ability based god who is known for having a strong early game. Due to the nature of his abilities, there's plenty of room for combos. has a strong presence in a team fight and can flexibly work with others.

After doing some research, for this guide I decided to go with a based build with high penetration to maximise the potential of his abilities. This build has all types of penetration which will cause a diminished decrease due to the way penetration functions. In return however your damage will be fairly high, and all that penetration in addition to the attack speed highly benefits .

Abilities

Passive: Enfeeble

Anhur's spear attacks reduce the enemy target's Physical Protection for 3 seconds.

Notes

Shifting Sands

Anhur erects an obelisk from the ground, blocking all player movement. The surrounding sands Slow enemies and increase the damage of Anhur's Basic Attacks against targets in the sands.

Notes

Impale

Anhur hurls his spear with great might. If the spear hits a god, they take damage and are knocked back. Gods knocked back into a wall are Stunned. Enemies hit by the pushed god take damage. The spear passes through minions, doing damage to them as well.

Notes

Disperse

Anhur leaps to his ground target location, doing damage and knocking back all enemies in the radius where he lands.

Notes

Desert Fury

Summoning the fury of the desert, Anhur hunkers down and throws empowered spears that pass through everything, doing damage to all enemies in their path. He is immune to Crowd Control for the duration.

Notes

Ability Combos

→

Purpose

The signature Anhur combo. All purpose.

1. Deploy behind target god
2. Aim and fire at the target

→ →

Purpose

High damage combo.

1. Deploy behind target god
2. Aim and fire at the target
3. Immediately execute
4. Follow up with basic attacks

→

Purpose

The begone thot combo. Maintains distance between you and the target.

1. Launch at the enemy using the edge of the radius
2. Fire at the target in the direction you want
3. Shout BEGONE, THOT as loud as you can

→ → →

Purpose

Very-high damaging kit. Will most likely kill the target if done right. Very difficult, risky, and rewarding to execute.

1. Deploy shifting sands behind target god
2. Launch at the enemy using the edge of the radius
3. Fire at the target in the direction of the obelisk. The target must be hit and stunned
4. Immediately execute
5. Follow up with basic attacks

Playing as an ADC

Start to Early

As the ADC, you'll start in the duo lane. The lane is either left or right. You can tell by looking at the distance between the towers. The one with the longer distance is the duo lane. You'll start in-lane and clear minions with the support. Sometime after you clear the wave, you may want to get the purple void buff for your support. Keep laning and ward in the jungle to prevent ganks.

Mid to Late

The support will leave you around mid game to go help and rotate to other lanes. That means you'll be on your own, boxing with the enemy ADC. Keep warding. You can occasionally rotate to mid to push the mid laner's tower. Be wary of ganks, as they will set you behind and allow the enemy ADC to take down your tower.

As you know, one of the ADC's main job is to push towers. That's exactly what you'll be doing. By late game you won't need to stick to your lane. Rotate and push towers with your team. Try to stick together. If a phoenix is down ward the lane in front of it and defend it. You don't want anyone backdooring your titan.

Conclusion and Ending

In my opinion, Anhur is one of the hardest gods to be good at due to the nature of his abilities. If you take a look at Anhur's history of use in the SPL, it was extremely rare for anyone to do well with him. The main combos you'll use are the first and second, the others are mostly situational and hard to pull off. The build is adjustable and can be modified for your liking.

If this helped you please give it an upvote so I'd know if I'm doing something right. Feedback is appreciated.

Please update this??

Whoops I didn't see this sorry. I'll try if I have the time :)

Yeah Tlaloc!

Isn't there various building paths that he could go? runeforged + asi, ichaival + asi, old devourers build, devourers + asi, trans + asi etc...

(143) |

For "Full build" why not remove hunters blessing for titan's bane? Then for "Final Build" just show ichaival being replaced?

Also for your start I recommend 2 health pots and 2 multi pots instead.

Well, the purpose of the full build is to display the build before anything is sold. The final build is to show the build after everything has been sold and replaced.

Agreed, will change this now.

Thanks for the feedback!

Completed!

This build needs votes, people.

I was waiting for him to make some adjustments. I'm okay upvoting now.

(35) |

I've seen it all now. Someone delete this.

It's looking solid so far ;)

Thanks!

If you want Crusher, get bloodforge instead of titan’s. If you want titan’s swap ichaival for Odysseus’ bow.

(17) |

Thanks, will most likely go with the latter

Feedback is heavily needed and appreciated, mostly on the build. Everything else is WIP. I plan on adding combos, gameplay stages, and other info. It's just mostly the build I'm concerned about.

Build looks okay, though I don't know if is the best late-game sub for . Also, is a good option, but maybe not always picked up. He will appreciate that funky Exe + TB combo more than most hunters though.

should probably be an option (might work well instead of as an replacement. And against squishier comps, instead of , might work too.
