Introduction

Horus is a versatile god in Smite, capable of successfully filling the support role. This guide will explain how to play Horus as a support, focusing on objectives, skill progression, theoretical item builds, strengths and weaknesses of the god, as well as his performance throughout the game.

Horus & Support Objectives

The support's role in Smite is to protect the team, facilitate engagements, ensure map vision, and initiate fights. Supports are also responsible for guarding the ADC (Attack Damage Carry) and assisting other team members. Effective communication and coordination are vital for successful support play.

As a support Horus, your primary objective is to create opportunities for your team using your crowd control and engagement abilities. In the early game, you should assist your ADC in securing minion waves and maintaining constant lane pressure. In the late game, you become the team's frontline, initiating fights, protecting allies, and utilizing your "Protector's Surge" ability for healing.

Theorical Build

Your build as a support Horus should focus on mitigating incoming damage and enhancing your crowd control. Items that provide physical and magical protections, as well as utility bonuses like CDR (Cooldown Reduction) and movement speed, are crucial. Health regeneration items, and crowd control items are essential for aiding your team.

Qualities and Weaknesses

Pros:
  • Initiation Potential
  • Crowd Control
  • Sustain
  • Mobility
  • Versatility
Cons:
  • Mana Dependence
  • Skillshot Reliance
  • Limited Burst Damage
  • Reliance on Coordination
