How to play this build

To build this, you need to start with Death's Toll, Warrior Tabi, and Health Potion. You should always start with a camp at the beginning to get some lead on gold. NEVER tank this, always make sure you have someone else for that. As you finish the camp, go to your lane and start hitting the creeps. If you have a chance, hit the enemy god, making sure not to have the enemy roman ranges too close to you, because so early on, they would damage you pretty hard. Work up your XP and keep on hitting the creeps and occasionally hitting the enemy god. If you have pretty much cleaned up the enemy creeps, start damaging the enemy god with abilities to scare them off. You are OK to go pretty aggressive if your sure that you'll do some damage. You may actually do some pretty good damage if your careful and maybe get a kill or two before your enemy starts being too careful. Later on in the game, you can start doing crits with 300-600 damage, and then you can be super aggressive as long as your not going 1v2 or 1v3. Of course like any other build, this build has it's pros and cons.

Pros
-High Damage
-High Crits

Cons
-Low Physical Penetration
-Not-So-Great Life Steal in Late Game

If you find your self not getting very much damage done, or dying a lot, make sure to fix the problem by buying some items listed above.
That's pretty much it with Apollo! Just be aggressive, and you should be getting damage done by 100's.
Good luck and have fun!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
