Notes atlantas bow is a good build finisher for leaving boots as well as the same for spirits robes, but if you run either of the crit items (risky finish) make sure to sell boots and buy speed potion and build one of my recommended items

2) At 12:53 mentions asi and somewhere he mentioned runeforged + asi proc saved him
3) no where does he mention crits, frost bound, or void shield
4) yea listen to estidian. He's right about qins sais.

Gonna agree with Kriega here. If you're replacing boots you should really be looking at heavy damage, pen attack speed or heavy defense items. Qin's Sais or Mantle of Discord for instance.

I can get behind Hydras but a lot kf the kther items dont make sense

Kriega1 (143) | March 6, 2019 3:12am
Spirit robe, hydras, void shield, frostbound?

Anyway where is qins?

hunger065 | March 6, 2019 8:06am
i decided quins wasn't too needed since we have hou yi's mark of the golden crow but the build is always welcome to change when you play

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.
