APHRO - THE LIFESAVER [Support]

Well, as you may know, Aphrodite typically is not recommended as a support. While much of her kit seems like she'd be a good fit as a supporting god, her biggest feature is her healing, and that can be shut down pretty hard with anti-heal. In addition, she just doesn't have a huge amount of CC, which makes it difficult for her to peel for her teammates.

This isn't to say you can't see success, but at higher levels of play, she'll likely find herself focused early and often.

If you do play her, I wouldn't suggest building any lifesteal items as this build is using, specifically because when you play Aphro you should expect anti-heal, and so it's not so beneficial getting items that are then going to be less effective. However, I would still consider Rod of Asclepius to boost and partially counteract anti-heal by boosting her own healing, along with the power (good for healing scaling), health (survivability), and movement speed (since she has no escape).

I would probably suggest something along these lines:

Sentinel's Gift ( Sentinel's Embrace) -> Lotus Crown -> Shogun's Kusari -> Rod of Asclepius -> Mantle of Discord -> Rod of Tahuti

You expect to be near your teammates at all times so the aura from Embrace should help. Lotus will be your initial physical protection and enhanced prots that you can activate pretty often for you and your soulmate. Shogun's is just an option, but provides CDR, magical prots, and the buffed attack speed aura...and between the MP5 provided by Sent, Lotus, and Shogun's, you should never run out of mana. Asclep comes after for the healing boost, Mantle provides strong dual protections and more CDR, and you finish with Tahuti specifically for the scaling boost to healing. In all of this, Shogun's and Tahuti are likely your optional items; switch them out as you see fit.

If you want to go with a more traditional support build, I might suggest something like this:

Sentinel's Gift ( Sentinel's Embrace), Gauntlet of Thebes, Breastplate of Valor, Relic Dagger, Mantle of Discord, Rod of Asclepius or Rod of Tahuti.

In that build, you'll get higher early protections from Thebes, followed by a boost of CDR from BoV. Until you get BoV, you'll have to be careful w/ your mana use. Relic is optional, but you can give yourself some additional offensive utility if you go for Sundering Spear and another teamfight relic, and Dagger will help you use them much more often.

Others might have different suggestions, but these would be the types of builds I would use off the top of my head.
