Smite God: Aphrodite

Tap Mouse over an item or ability icon for detailed info

Aphrodite Build

Level 1 Starter Build

Notes With a MAX of 1500 Gold you need to buy the items shown.

(Starter Item): Warriors Blessing is a Key item in the lane phase. This item allows Aphrodite to have lane sustain and also give her more chances to survive. Aphrodite basic attack range is godly when it comes to stacking the starter item. Which means she can get poke with the basic attacks every 10 seconds to make the item evolve.

(Potions): These 3 items are gonna be her extra sustain in lane. Try not to use them so quickly as they may be needed the longer to stay in lane.

Warrior's Blessing

Spellbook

Healing Potion

Multi Potion

Physical DEF. Aphrodite Build

Notes After Reading (Level 1 Starter Build) this is the next step.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE FIGHTING A PHYSICAL GOD IN LANE THIS IS THE CORRECT BUILD. IF YOU ARE FIGHTING A MAGICAL GOD IN LANE PLEASE READ THE MAGICAL DEF. APHRODITE BUILD.

The first time you back to base from solo lane (Without dying) you should have enough gold to buy Blue booth or Book of Thoth. This part is mostly on you, the game and the god you are fighting in lane. Getting Boots first item once you back can be the more safer option as it will make you be able to take fights and get out of them. However getting Book of Thoth first can make her have stacks online quicker and she won't need her Mana buff anymore if they steal it. I will recommend getting boots first for 90% of the people reading this. If you are really good at the game and can reach masters with high MMR then getting book of thoth could benefit you more as you may know how to play around it more without getting the wave held, dying or losing blue buff.

Optional Items

Notes Optional Items to swap out in the MAGICAL or PHYSICAL DEF APHRODITE BUILDS.

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN I SAY REPLACE FOR BOOTS I DON'T MEAN IN THE EARLY GAME. I MEAN REPLACE FOR BOOTS ONCE YOU HAVE THE FULL BUILD AND ELIXIR OF SPEED.

Lotus Crown - Can be useful but not needed on Aphrodite. Item provides both item of defence, MP5 to regain mana over time and a tiny bit of power. Overall this item in my eyes can be in both builds because of how good it is. What item would I swap it for and when? In build builds I say this can replace Hide of the Urchin or Spear of Magus. If you are a fan for this item then buying Blue boots, Chronos Pendant then Lotus crown can also be a build against a Physical in lane.

Spirit Robe/Mantle of Discord - These items are more useful than it looks so don't sleep on it. If you like to add these to you builds I would recommend replacing Hide of the Urchin for this item. Even super late game it can be brought by selling boots once you have full build and Elixir of Speed. Spirit Robe is the better choice when you are dealing with loads of HARD CC such as STUNS, KNOCK UPS, FEARS, TAUNTS, ROOTS and etc. Mantle of Discord is the better choice if you ain't fighting so many HARD CC listed.

Spear of Magus - Want you and the team to do more damage? This can boost it however you could lose out on item provide something else.

Shield Of Regrowth - Aphrodite can be annoying to deal with once she has this. As she can be harder to deal with and add more pressure to the enemy backline with her jungle link together. No one will be able to out run her and the jungle should be able to clean up with the Jealous 20% damage increase with the kiss. This is also a tool to retreat faster too with great stats.

E-Staff - Increase Aphrodite bulk by making her tanking in the health side of things in the build. Not only health but giving her a better chance to fight of CC with the 20% CCR. The passive can be clutch with the extra health and mana you gain. Can be replace Spear of Magus.

Gem of Isolation - ONE CRAZY AND ANNOYING ITEM, I love this item a lot on Aphrodite solo. Why!? with Love birds and MAX CDR the Love birds are more than just healing and damage since they can now be a huge slow for 5 seconds. Not only just a slow you'll have Health, damage and 10% CCR to better her fighting in team fights. This item can be replace Hide of the Urchin but you'll need to build a defence item after it. This can also replace Spear of Magus and Boots the choice is on you. Beware Winged Blade counters this item.

Rod-A/ROD-T - These items are like brother and sister they do the same thing nearly but one is more in the damage area and the other is just more in the healing with a damage on the side. Having these two item together can make Aphrodite heal way too much which is good. if you want one of these items in the build than it's okay please swap it for either Spear of Magus or Boots. If you want to a build with both use this: Warriors blessing, Chronos pendent, Blue boots, Lotus crown, Void Stone, ROD-A, Spirit Robe or Mantle of Discord, ROD-T.

Soul Reaver - Only use this item with Book of Thoth. Replace Spear of Magus.

Travel's Shoes - Don't buy Blue boots if you want more speed and return to lane quicker to save the tower and survive more by going to base. Reminder you'll lose 10% CDR but it can work still with the right items/Blue buff.

Winged Blade - As I said before this counters slows and Aphrodite can die if she's slowed to death. Buying this can help her not get punish for not having her ultimate up. Gods like Set or Lulu can have a hard time dealing with this late game and many other gods too.

Relic Dagger - A item what can make Aphrodite provide more in terms of making the team more tanky. How so? This item makes her Relic cooldown drop by 40s, which means relic like Shell could be up more offend and be a huge problem to fight against for gods like merc and Auto Attack based gods. Replace this for anything after your first Magical and physical items.

Divine Ruin - I said already so this will be short. Anti-Heal very important vs HEALERS, LIFESTEAL OR GOOD IN GENERAL. Buy this to replace Spear or magus or Hide of the Urchin. Please note if you buy this over Hide of the Urchin you'll need to buy a more bulky item next defence recommend.

Notes HANDS OF THE GODS - Only buy this when you think or know you'll lose your blue buff and need it to survive in lane.

WARDS - Protect your blue buff and save time by seeing ganks before it happens.

SHELL - BUY THIS FIRST OR SECOND 80% OF THE TIME FIRST.

SPRINT - Buying this second at LEVEL 12 could be better or buying it first is also very good. Both relics are situational on when it could be brought before the other.
