Aphrodite blows a kiss to an allied god, making them her soul mate and giving them both increased movement speed. If it hits an ally, it has a reduced 1s cooldown. If the kiss hits an enemy god, they are Damaged, Stunned and Aphrodite's soul mate gets jealous, increasing their damage. Also, Aphrodite's soul mate gains 50% of her MP5 and 10% of her Physical and Magical Protections.

If an enemy would be hit by both blasts, they will only be affected by the one originating from Aphrodite.

~Introduction~

I'm ThePerfectPrism, a long-time Mastery X Aphrodite Player. I currently have just about 3000 worshippers on her and I used to play her in Support back in S0, S1 and S2.

This is what you aim for while you're playing Aphrodite support. You need the protections, but you also need to carry some damage since the primary reason you're playing Aphrodite support is for her healing.

Now for some remarks.

While I think the better call is to get a point in Back Off! at level 4, you can wait till level 6 and instead put a second point in Kiss, because you're pretty much going to gas pedal both you and your support, however, there's virtually an unnoticeable difference between 8% and 11% movement speed, and the damage from Back Off! will most likely help clear wave. It's your choice though.

If you're going for a "Team Support" path, get both Sovereignty amd Heartward Amulet before Celestial Legion Helm and Void Stone. You're going to lack damage most of the game, but you'll be more efficient in early teamfights.

Aphrodite's largest threat, while playing as support, is her lack of mobility and displacement CCs. Watch out for characters who focus on both aspects, such as Geb, Athena, Sobek and Sylvanus.

Celestial Helm is not core on Aphro "Support", Lotus Crown should be prioritised

Big Damage (37) | May 11, 2020 10:57am
I was just about to say this. If anything Celestial Legion Helm is the greedy item here over lotus crown.

I'm pretty sure Prism just did an oops here and switched the spots accidentally. I've talked to him about his builds recently, and Lotus is his typical core.

I love you!

This is a great guide for playing aphro as support in conquest! I almost always have a decent to good game with her when following the suggested items listed here! Which is great because I don't care for any guardians aside from Ares (who I've already gotten to diamond and he isn't that great in conquest from my experience).

So anyway, this was really helpful. :)

Ownn Thank You <3

Ares can be quite decent if you get a early kill

Why haven't you mentioned Aphrodite's skin "Aphra Cadabra" as one of her "pros" as well? That skin is her best one and I am so happy that I've unlocked it.

Its on my Solo apheo guide, pretty sure

Quick question do you need to be in the middle of the birds aoe to get the DOT? Or just hit by it cause I've seen a couple people walk out of it clean Q.Q.

ThePerfectPrism (56) | August 14, 2016 6:21pm
Techno actually phrased it well. It's like Celestial Beam, just cuz you're in the AoE doesn't mean you're instantly hit. You can still walk away from it, if you're lucky

Technotoad64 (46) | August 14, 2016 3:23pm
Love Birds is a line attack, like Ra's Celestial Beam. The AOE isn't the entire range at once. It's more like a very small AOE that moves along a line. Does that make sense?

Trishypoo | August 16, 2016 10:18pm
Oh! I see now! Thanks a ton :) started getting into the support roles in Smite so this is very helpful. ^^

This guide is amazing! won 3 games in a row in conquest and aiming for more :D.

ThePerfectPrism (56) | August 2, 2016 5:25pm
Nice job ! Your skill level must be pretty good to get 3 wins in a row ! I wish you a lot of success in future matches ! :D

Significantly better skill level than mine, LOL!

Lestorso | June 22, 2016 2:14am
I've been going with option 3 for joust.
1
ThePerfectPrism (56) | June 22, 2016 6:12pm
That's good for joust. I would prob. use Obsidian rather than Spear.

Lestorso | June 22, 2016 12:56am
So what would the final build be?

Mnementh | May 7, 2016 11:39pm

Nice guide! :) I'm not 100% certain, but is it true that Aphrodite's Love Birds will reset the duration on Gem of Isolation, per 0.5s tick? If so, that would make it FAR more powerful than you described here. :)



Shhhh, it's a secret ;)

Nice build by the way very great guide indeed. Aphrodite is the Mage to not to mess with. Aphrodite is one of my favorite mages and support gods to play. I will be happy if you to check out my Aphrodite build when it comes out and give it your thoughts about it. That would be great. :)

I just did this setup in a conquest versus and I stayed alive and did as good of a job as I could. I even took out Medusa. Keep updating it!
