Susano throws forward a gust of air which creates a whirlwind, dealing damage every 0.75s for 3s. He may activate this ability again to teleport to the whirlwind.

If the initial gust hits an Enemy, the whirlwind surrounds and travels with them, and teleporting to the Enemy reduces this cooldown to 10s.

4 Y
Susano summons a hurricane at his location, creating a Vortex that drags enemies towards the center while growing to up to twice its size, increasing the damage as it grows. Upon reaching full size, the storm is launched in the direction he is facing, knocking up opponents in its path. Susano may re-activate this ability early to fire the storm at its current size for reduced damage. If fired at less than half of its maximum size, he also foregoes the knock-up.

Lore

Like his sister, Amaterasu, Susano was born to rule, but he was tempestuous, with a flaring anger, wicked tongue, and a penchant for destruction. Their father, Izanagi, would have none of it and decreed that Susano live in the Underworld. His mood dark at this news, Susano committed heinous acts of vandalism and murder. Acts that sent Amaterasu into shameful hiding.

Cast low, Susano descended to earth on his way to the Underworld. He carried only his Ten-Span Sword, and regret for his actions. What had his defilements achieved but to envelop the world in darkness? This was his nature, to broil like a storm, to frighten and destroy what stood in his path.

But a storm could also herald life.

At a river side, Susano ventured upon an elderly couple, weeping and cradling their young daughter. Eight children, they'd had once, but now only one remained; seven devoured by the eight-headed serpent. Susano was resolved. To atone for his crimes, to prove his father wrong, to better himself, Susano would slay this beast.

Eight traps he laid, one for each head of the creature, with eight tubs of aromatic sak as bait. Slithering forward, the Orochi spread its gruesome heads to drink from the trapped tubs. Susano cut the rope. Gates dropped. The heads were imprisoned. One by one, he chopped the eight necks, until only the wriggling tail remained. Sweeping his blade split the reptilian hide, leaving notches in his blade but revealing a brilliant sword inside: the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

To his sister, he gave the blade. An act of atonement, but not an apology. His true nature would never change, but his intention could.

Though seen on the battlefield of the Gods, Susano's fight is not truly against those foes, but within himself. He is a raging summer storm, struggling to focus that destructive power at evil, and atoning when the innocent are harmed.

Introduction

Since it took several people to help me make a all around working Susano build, and since Susano was my first diamond, I thought i'd make a guide to help people play him. Susano really is a fun god, and with a little practice, can be a very deadly foe. Now, let's get into this.

Pros / Cons

Pros
-Very mobile
-Very strong early game
-Amazing teamfight potential
-Good AoE burst affects


Cons
-CC's and silences are his downfall
-Becomes more of a squishy support late game
-Can be easily countered

Skills


Passive: For each ability Susano has on cooldown, his movement speed is increased by 4%.
This is a passive that is helpful to chase down people running away. You really don't have to pay much attention to his passive.


Storm Kata: This is Susano's main ability. The first swing is a cone attack in front of him, the second swing is a circle attack all around him, and the third attack is a dash, so you can easily escape. This ability has a 80% power scaling while each strike doing 195 (+80% phys power) at max rank. This is an ability you want to max out as soon as possible.


Wind Siphon: This ability is amazing for setting up combos, pulling back someone running, or just generally engaging combat. This ability pulls back anyone in a cone area directly to Susano.


Jet Stream: This ability is pretty much a blink. This ability is a dot that can be thrown out and i can also be attached to players. Aslong as Jet Stream is active, Susano may teleport to it, if it hits an enemy and Susano teleports, it reduces the cooldwon to 8 seconds.


Typhoon: Susano's ultimate is used mainly for engaging combat and support. When he uses this abililty, everyone in the center is pulled in. Susano may aim his ult by turning, his ult will go in the direction he is facing. He may also activate the ultimate before the usual 4 second timer in case someone is running away.

Items

Red=Core Orange=Optional(your judgement required) Blue=Only Go One Of These.


Trancsendence- This item overall gives Susano extra mana, while converting 3% of his mana into physical power. Combining this, with Jotuun's Wrath will give you the perfect amount of Mana, while also giving you tons of extra power.


Warrior Tabi- These boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do, and I guess they give you some power too. (at least it rhymed.)


Jotuun's Wrath- This item gives you that extra mana, that increases your power because of transcendence, as well as power, penatration, and even cooldown reduction, the perfect choice for any assassin.

http://www.smitefire.com/images/item/titans-bane.png
Titan's Bane- This item not only gives you power, but it gives a passive 33% physical penatration on all of your physical attacks. Perfect choice for if the enemies are building defense. (including abilities)


Bloodforge- Bloodforge gives you physical lifesteal and 75 physical power, a truly great item to have. If you manage to kill someone, you also get a shield of 150 +10 to whatever level you are, so you can retreat or engage someone else with low health.


Spirit Robe-This item gives you both phys and magic protection, while also giving 10% CDR, this is used when you are up against a lot of Crowd Control, I suggest only using it when up against 3+ enemies with strong CC.


Hide of The Urchin-This gives again, both physical and magical protection, as well as extra health and mana, this is good to stack with Transcendence, because of the mana, while also giving, 60 magic and phys protection.


Mantle of Discord-This item off the start, gives 60 phys and magic protection, aswell as 15% CDR, the passive of the items stuns all nearby enemies for one second when you are at 30% health. You also gain CC immunity for one second. This is good for if you are engaging combat against a lot of enemies at once, or are facing a god like Hades, or even an enemy Susano, that has an ult that slows you down and drains you fast.


Hydra's Lament- This Item gives you power, 15% cooldown reduction, but also mainly helps Susano's combos. If you can use an ability and get a basic attack off, this will make it easier to wear someone down.


Breastplate of Valor- This defensive item gives you 20% cooldown reduction as well as mana and physical protection. If you don't want to go into Hydra's Lament, I would recomend this item for the mana on transcendence's passive, and to max out CDR with Jotuun's Wrath. (Go this if they have more physical than Magical)


Genji's Guard- This defensive item, gives magical protection and 10% cooldown reduction, it also reduces all of your cooldowns by 2 seconds when you take magical damage. This could speed up the ability of you destroying someone with you having high CDR. (Go this if they have more Magical than Physical)

Combos

To get better with Susano, you need to learn his combos. Susano's combos are very flexible and are actually easy to pull off with a little practice. Since Susano is such a mobile god, it'd make sense that his combo's are just as mobile

His main combo would be using Jet Stream to dash in, using Typhoon, then using Wind Siphon to pull them back, basic attack while pulling them back, then using Storm Kata
3>3>4>2>BA>1>BA>1>BA>1.

Another good combo would be using Typhoon, then Wind Siphon,then Jet Stream then using, Storm Kata
4>2>3>1

Another good combo would be to use Jet Stream, basic attack, and while holding down the basic attack button, activate Jet Stream again. This makes him strike twice extremely fast. With Hydra's Lament, this will make both basic attack deal massive damage.
3>BA(Hold Down)>3

Getting good with just these simple combos while being extremely mobile will make you a overall better Susano.

Summary

I just wanted to make this simple guide to try and help people become better. If you have any suggestions on how to make this guide better, please give me some feedback.

This guide isn't meant to be hardcore, just for people that want to get better with him.

I will try to keep this guide as up to date as possible.

Thanks for reading!

This is a great Susano guide! I wish I read this before playing a few games as him in Assault and Arena, luckily I had a friend who helped me build him similar to you! ;)

Well done!

Only 2 things I'd want to mention:

- Perhaps you could add a quick chapter explaining when the player should pick what items. For example: "when should the player pick 2 defensive items instead of 1?"

- After your "abilities" chapter, it looks like you completely gave up on BB-coding. Your "combos" section looks a bit barren. Other than that, great guide, well done.

And congratulations on Susano X :)
