Anhur's Skill Order Notes Remember to have all of Anhur's kit up to lv 5. Impale and Disperse are essential at level 2, then level up Shifting Sands and at level 4 give preference again to Impale. In the early and middle game, Impale is essential for clear wave, although its stun time increases very little. Without very specific situations, give preference to Shifting Sands, in match-ups where your opponent or the opposing team does not have immunity to slows, many dashes or jumps. Currently, most hunters have movement skills. Currently, the match-up focusing on Shifting Sands only happens against 2 hunter mages, Freya and Olorun. Prioritize the skill, Disperse in situations where you are being focused by the enemy team. Note that the builds presented at have low or no CoolDown Reduction. So if you feel the need, prioritize Disperse over Shifting Sands. Shifting Sands is a good choice to Objectives and Team Fights.

Introduction

Welcome to my guide for Anhur, Slayer of Enemies

My name is DiusAeri. I am a casual player who primarily plays conquest. My preferred role in conquest is the duo lane, however this is a guide for as a Carry.
This is my first smitefire guide, and I intend to update it, so feel free to comment things that should be added/edited and please be patient, English is not my primary language.

Regardless, lets move on to the guide!

Base Stats

General
Health: 726 (+82)
Mana: 255 (+35)
Speed: 365 (+0)
Range: 55 (+0)

Regen
HP5: 8.69 (+0.69)
MP5: 4.82 (+0.32)
Protection
Magical: 32 (+1.6)
Physical: 18 (+3)

Basic Attack
Attack Speed: 0.92 (+1.7%)
Damage: 38 + 2.5 (+100% of your Physical Power)
Progression: None
Class Bonus: +1% up to 10% extra BA damage at level 20

About Anhur stats
's passive ensures that when it comes to just basics and not relying on skills, he is the second most oppressive hunter in the game. So consider that after using all your kit on an Anhur kill, you don't lag behind other hunters in the same condition.
Check out the comparison of basics with other hunters!

Pros/Cons

Pros

Brute Force

+ Strong Basic Attack
+ Built-in Pen
+ Built-in Steroid to Increased Damage
+ Multiple CCs
+ Hight self-peel
+ Long CC Immunity on the ulti

Anhur's skills allows him to have a strong start, especially against tanks and other low clear wave hunters. It can be considered an oppressive hunter, even if its clear wave isn't that good due to the boxing potential.

Cons

Slow Execution

- Very Squishy
- Poor attack speed early
- No attack speed steroids
- Very dependent of the 2 earl/mid game
- Slow jump
- Easy to miss good part of the ulti

Anhur has no high attack speed and no attack speed steroids, missing his main skill combined with the low attack speed, can put Anhur in trouble, especially early/mid game.

Situational Items

Situational Items in the Anti-Tank build

In this guide's patch there are 2 main anti-healing items for physical gods, in this build is more prominent and the competitor , Mainly because can't afford to lose a lot of attack speed.

Situations:
Ask yourself: Do you really need anti-healing?
because it has no power is not usually a desirable item in most builds. It's always a tough decision which item to forgo to get instead. A plus point in addition to healing reduction is reducing the enemy's attack speed while increasing yours. Has a good passive and good base stats. Avoid on crit builds.

Exemple 1:
sale and buy

If you don't want to give up the basic attack penetration of Dominance, don't evolve Death's Toll, sell it and buy Toxic Blade instead. Depending on the need, this can be done even before buying Dominance or Atalanta's Bow.
It is not a good idea to swap The Ferocious Executioner in this anti-tank build, as without Atalanta's Bow the build will not have other percentage penetrations globally, this will affect the ability of its abilities to deal good damage against tanks.
Do not place Toxic Blade in place of Asi as it is its main sustain, and do not place in place of Qin's Sais as it will significantly lose the ability to deal damage to tanks.

Exemple 2:
build alternatively to

If The Ferocious Executioner and Qin's Sais are performing well in your current match, keep Death's Toll and its sustain, draw Toxic Blade instead of Dominance.
In this build I DO NOT RECOMMEND changing The Ferocious Executioner or Qin's Sais, but anyway, if you do that, changing Qin's Sais only in specific matches where tanks and warriors don't focus and HP and The Ferocious Executioner only if you have Atalanta's Bow in your build.

will work better against Squishy enemies. Because his passive is power-based, it's not a good choice in the early game.It synergizes well with due to the high power it provides.

Gives up a certain amount of power, and penetration only in basic attacks to acquire global penetration and damage in his abilities.
Note what situation the game is in, if I prefer to deal more damage to your skills, The Crusher is not a bad option, but if possible stick to the original build construction.

Situational Items in the Anti-Squishies build

Other general items

Gameplay

Within the limits of match-up possibilities, try to be aggressive early in the game. It's one of the advantages of Anhur, its powerful attacks early in the game.
Anhur doesn't handle well in crowds, so in TFs if you decide to go aggressive and actually enter the fight, if you're not pretty sure you or an ally can get a kill, save your skill kit to run away in case things go wrong. Remember, the builds here have low or no CDR.
Take the fights to the jungle, remember the lion is the king of the jungle, not ironically the Anhur kit benefits a lot in jungle fights. Shifting Sands has more impact because the locations are tighter and with less attack points, unlike an open lane, Impale has more places where enemies can be stunned.

Anhur, the Ymir of the desert.

Can you block? block!
- Block: Sobek, block Geb, block Apollo, block Athena. I blocked everything and everyone. Are you being chased? Does the enemy dash go through walls? No? So lift the pillar and don't look back.

Hi DiusAeri,

About your builds, I'm good with the anti tank build, although doesn't help deal more damage, but about your crit build, ehh not so much.

You use Devo, which is for me a worse version of , providing less power, less movespeed and the tiny extra lifesteal devo has, on temfights can be compensated with the shield blood offers, so why not simply pay a bit more and get blood to access a good power spike without having to slow your start?

Also, are you sure you don't want to get to increase all your crits damage?
I mean, it's an "ANTI-SQUISHIES" build, the harder you hit the better to kill them fast. Plus, you don't need that much % pen if you are focusing the squishies, so my recommendation would be something like , , , , , and upgraded it into , that would be much more squishy focused than the actual one.

Any thoughts?

Hello xmysterionz,
At this point in my comment, I modified the build.

Thank you for your comment and I will take it into account. So I think starting with as an alternative to and , as it provides satisfactory attack speed early in the game, and allows to have the most stacks fast on departure. I think that in a build from to , a good continuation would be Atalanta and , with some other attack speed item being essential, such as or . lacks attack speed due to not having steroids of that status. With and I think I can even remove I don't believe so much in the potential of this item, and it didn't do so well in practical tests.

Yeah, it seems much better.
I think you should offer an alternative crit build rushing as 1st item just to your guide be 100% complete.

And of course write about the builds and your choices

(71) |

If you feel you are lacking Attack speed, get instead of blood but then build as 2nd item

Thanks for the instructions. I've been inspired by top-rated guides like Brunmuffin's and yours. I have tested several configurations.
