Introduction

Name: Aphrodite
Title: Goddess of Beauty
Pantheon: Greek Tags: Mage,Support,Ranged,Magical,Low Damage,High Sustain

There are too few words to describe the radiance, the magnificence, the inequitable glory of Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty. So wondrous is she to behold that one look can inspire tears, desire, jealousy, and love. Yet, beneath her flawless exterior resides a heart burdened with insecurity.

Inattentive and hideous to look upon, her husband, Hephaestus, unknowingly leaves Aphrodite feeling lonely and worthless. She finds consolation in the arms of other men such as Ares, or validation by competing in any contest of beauty she encounters.

At a wedding attended by all the Gods, a golden apple appeared, inscribed with the words "to the fairest." Immediately Aphrodite, her mother Hera, and sister Athena quarreled over it. Zeus elected Paris, Prince of Troy, to choose a victor. In exchange for being named the fairest, Aphrodite offered any woman in the world as his wife, so Paris agreed. However, he chose Helen as his wife, and their love began the catastrophic Trojan War.

Now, a new war brews, but this one between Gods, not men. While the battlefield is no place for the fairest of all, Aphrodite recalls the destruction between the Greeks and Trojans. Perhaps, this time, her beauty can be used to stop a war instead of start one. Perhaps, this time, she will discover the beauty within.

Pros / Cons

Aphrodite is Smite's first true support God. She has stun, shield and healing capabilities.

PROS

+ She can keep herself and her lane partner healed while doing DoT at the same time!

+ Aphrodite can supply really great damage assists to initiators.

+ She has an invulnerability shield to put on herself and her soul mate.

+ Her shield also removes all CC effects! OP much?

+ Her kiss is like getting free boots without having any!

CONS

- If not careful she can be focused down very quickly

- You'll have to learn when to use abilities and not overuse them, she uses a lot of mana.

- No jump mechanism!

Creeping / Jungling


Aphrodite doesn't really need to jungle, and she really can't do it effectively without help. If any, the cooldown and mana buffs would be to her best benefit.

Cooldown - 20% Cooldown Reduction


Mana - +7 Mana/Sec

Skins

MAJESTRIX
200 Gems or 11000 Favor

Summary

I really hope this guide helps, Aphrodite is the first true support God in Smite and can be a ton of fun to play! Dat bosom :D

Not getting Love Birds until level 14?

You really think the 1 and 2 are that much more important?

I always thought that Love Birds were her best ability, I never thought of doing it that way... is this like, a build focused on pure burst damage?

That's the only conceivable reason I could think of to not get Love Birds until then, but even if that's the idea, it just doesn't make sense to me to completely ignore the damage, healing, and potential GoI slow from such a powerful ability.

I don't think so Narujitsu (I'm going to call you that, no objections allowed)! I don't think so! Okay maybe. ElGrizz and I will try out that. Possibly. If you or anyone else can join it'd be great. Possibly 5 man match tonight with ElGrizz, you, Nogglez, Sunfall, and me. But Sunfall is kind of hesitant to try. He called me

Another good lane partner, as I have noticed, is Kali. So much heal...

Ruin is actually really great against Neith and Hercules, especially when you're up against an Enemy Aphrodite. It would be situational, but definitely worth a try. With this lifesteal build, does it take hp when you use an ability?

loopyman (6) | March 16, 2013 9:16am
personally would change ruin to rod apart from that nice guide as usuall

Updated the build :D

Was trying to add as much magic lifesteal and magic damage that I could. I also question that piece and I'm sure I could interchange it with something else. It's just what I used at the time. :)

Maybe Polynomicon ?

Or maybe Rod of Tahuti would just be best for the mp5

Very nice guide tried the build very nice, only one thing i don't like. The Divine Ruin seeming as it is quite a situational item And the stats i feel aren't useful enough on a god like this for instance the magical life-steal, as she doesn't really give out enough damage to make it worth the money. I would say add it to a situational items tab or is there some special reasoning? Other than that graet guide thanks. :D
