Smite God: Janus

Tap Mouse over an item or ability icon for detailed info

Janus Build

Starting Items

Notes Early pen build designed to strengthen your early-mid game. A Chronos Pendant or Doom Orb start will give you better mana sustain to farm for the late game.

Mage's Blessing

Magic Focus

Healing Potion

Mana Potion

Core Full Damage Build

Notes Build Divine Ruin before or after Spear of Desolation if needed. Swap Charon's Coin for Obsidian Shard if you are popping off (easing the process of building the stacks) or value the extra survivability against a squishier comp than the extra pen. If they have little Magic Defense at all, consider more power in Doom Orb.

Mage's Blessing

Spear of Desolation

Shoes of Focus

Soul Gem

Soul Reaver

Obsidian Shard

Replacements for Blessing & Boots

Notes Myrddin caps you at 40% pen and maintains 40% CDR when selling blessing. Doom Orb and Rod of Tahuti help with deleting backliners.

Staff of Myrddin

Doom Orb

Rod of Tahuti

Chronos' Pendant

Divine Ruin

Situational Defense

Notes Mantle will get you out of a jam with its passive and the CDR is very useful for Janus. Magi's Cloak gives you a free cc immunity useful against hard cc gods. Winged Blade and Relic Dagger each offer movement speed, health, and defensive utility.

Mantle of Discord

Magi's Cloak

Winged Blade

Relic Dagger

Relics

Notes Always gets beads. Aegis is better for burst but Magic Shell can be good against AA junglers/solos e.g. Mercury

Purification Beads

Aegis Amulet

Magic Shell

Example Full Build

Janus creates a portal in the world. If placed on a wall, the portal will create a passage through to the other side of the wall that Janus or any ally may use. The portal may be entered from either side, but closes after 1 use.

If placed on the ground, enemies and Janus will fall into the portal, being teleported into the air above it. Enemies take damage upon landing, and are considered banished during the fall.

Why does this say it's by a guest rather than by me?

Because you probably weren't logged in when you made it

I had my username in the top right corner. This is unfortunate.

i could be wrong but i would guess that you could probably get this sorted out with an admin like Bran/Hades4U or another(not up on all their names).

Hey people, so I don't think there's a way for me to verify C 4 General F is the actual creator of the "guest" build, but I'm going to assign the build to C 4 for now. If someone else claims it, we'll have to discuss further.

C 4, it's now assigned to you. Let me know if you have any issues.
