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.

Introduction


This is my first smite guide and it's for Aphrodite if she is against a physical god. It provides both protection, power and mana as well as full cooldown. I used this build in several matches in league joust and it went really well.
I find this build is really good against hunters, their builds normally have lots of crits so it is really good to have some protection. This build is only for 1v1 against physical gods, magical gods and team battles will need another build :)

Items


The first item is Lotus Crown. I always build this first as it provided some protection and is always good when using Aphrodite's three because it provides protection; both magical and physical for 5 seconds. It also gives a fair amount of power as well as a MPS increase which is always needed on Aphrodite.

The second item is Book of Thoth. It is a stackable item so does take some time to build it up to full power but provided more than enough mana to used abilities well. By providing loads of mana, 3% is then converted into power.

The third item is Banacroft's Talon. It provides good lifesteal, about +10 health for every auto attack hit. It also provides extra power as you lose health so if you are low then using your three against an enemy will be really powerful and provide a good heal for you. Tiny trinket could be purchased then start building towards boots.

The fourth item is Cooldown Boots, alternatively it can be bought as the third item and just start to build lifesteal. The cooldown boots provide good movement speed, Aphrodites movement speed is pretty slow but once any form of boots are purchased then they are really beneficial.

The fifth item is Breastplate of Valor, this completes full cooldown of 40 as well as ensuring you have enough mana to keep using these abilities throughout the match. It gives you 75 physical protection making your total protection 105 and more when lotus crown is activated with your heal.

The final item is Rod of Tahuti, this gives you loads of magical power as well as increasing it by 25%.

I haven't included any active items, they are very situation dependent. I used sprint when using this build.

Skills


Kiss is a really good skill, it provides a good stun and can be used when you are running from the enemy to slow them down or stun them then quickly use your 2 or 3 or both to provide great damage.

Back Off is also a good ability, it has a radius so the enemy is moved away from you, again this skill can be used during combat or when running from the enemy to move them away.

Love Birds, in my opinion is one of the most powerful skills. When fully upgraded and fully build this can provide a heal which can fill your health bar as well as damage that halves theirs. Using the Kiss in conjunction with the love birds ensures that the attack will not miss.

Undying Love is a really cool ability, it removes crowd control affects and you take no damage for a short while. It can be used to avoid ults from Chaac, Artemis as well as avoiding damage from Neith's ult. Also it is really good against Medusa's ult it lets you get away a little bit slower but you take no damage and you can get away.

Pros / Cons


PROS:
- Full cooldown
- Great damage output
- Easy to get out of combat with use of abilities
- Can escape from most ults
- Attacks are great against both melee and ranged gods

CONS:
- Most items cost a lot of gold
- Has so little mana early game

Summary


Overall I think the build is pretty good, depending on the enemy may depend on the damage:protection ration. This was my first ever smite guide and I hope it helps :)

Review


I like your build a lot, its pretty good for Aphrodite, but I don't understand the need for lifesteal. I find it easy to just put out heal after heal to stay alive rather than to lifesteal. So if anything I would replace Bancroft's Talon with Rod of Asclepius. I usually would replace Lotus Crown with it, but since this is against physical gods and this provides needed physical protection, I won't.

I don't understand why you level your ult up as you go, if you can time it right you don't even really need to upgrade it. I prioritize upgrading my Love Birds, then my Back Off!, all while my ult is level 1. Once those are maxed I level my ult and Kiss as needed.

I give it a 8/10 for your build.
For the guide, however, I have it as a 4/10 for now.



Improvements


What you need to do is fix your BBcoding, too much color can be bad.
As for the abilities and items, you need to add two brackets around the item name. It will result in this: Love Birds

You've stated that this is a guide, but its more of a build with item and ability explanations. Try adding a gameplay sections, a matchups section, and a tips and tricks section. Also add what role this is for, as Im just assuming that this is a solo build.
