Item Builds and Combo

Core:
Ao Kuang wants to burst down his targets without fighting them too long.
The combination of Soulreaver and Polynomicon will do exactly that.

Combo: Activate Dragon Call, create a Water Illusion to close the distance to your enemy, and use then your Wild Storm to deal an insane amount of damage, follow it up by shooting your remaining dragons and end the fight by executing your enemy. This is the standart combo of Ao Kuang.

Item Options:
When the enemy team has only one tanky target, you can switch out the Obsidian Shard with something like Spear of Desolation, or an other utility item.
- You want more CDR: get Chronos Pendant OR keep the Shard and take Shoes of Focus instead of Pen Boots
- Want to get some attack speed: get Demonic Grip or Telkhines Ring

Matchups

Ao Kuang is a lategame focused god. That means he needs to farm a lot to become effective. However he can get a lot of early kills with his Ultimate to help him during the early stages of the game.
Ao Kuang is good against:
- Hun Batz: Hun Batz has only CC on his ultimate, so Ao can fight him
- Nemesis: When playing around her shield she is an easy target

Ao Kuang has problems against:
- Serqet: She has a lot of CC in her kit so she can fight and burst him down
- Kali: Kali cannot be executed by Ao when her ultimate is active
- Arachne: She can reaveal him with her webssustain him in bigger fights

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
