How To Play

Starting out: This Apollo build is definitely a slow build but end game, it's OP. You want to play very cautiously (Remember this God is supposed to be squishy but fast.) you want to gain as many quick picks with your Audacity and So Beautiful. Try to keep your Combat Blink and The Moves to get away from those situations you don't wanna be in, while you're still week.

Mid Game: By now you should have gotten your Shifter's Shield this has a decent bit of physical power to get the DPS you need for your ranged attacks. You still want to stay cautious. Until you finish out your Witchblade. Now that have speed and a good bit of physical protection you can play more aggressive. Still, do NOT die. this build is kinda slow if you're not building gold like crazy.

End Game: Now you should have your Runeforged Hammer and your Void Shield. Now you have loads of physical protection and decent physical power. Getting out of fights should be a breeze especially if you are keeping the movement buff. Now just finish the build off with an Ancile for some reassurance. If they last that long you will just keep getting stronger and stronger the more you kill.



GOOD LUCK AND GOOD GAME!!!

Umm, I can't really agree with this build; it's redundant to build a tank ADC unless you're playing joust. Even so you would only build 1 situational defense item. Sorry, -1.

This is kinda interesting, Its a bruiser build on an apollo, How much physical power do you have endgame?


Also you should check out my guide and currently the only actual guide on how to play Cabrakan jungle or solo as its pretty good.

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.
