Paralyzing Spit

1 X
Cerberus's snake tail spits venom that passes through and damages Enemies. If Cerberus's dog heads are Alert, they then also spit venom when the ability is fired. Each head is alerted upon hitting an Enemy with a Basic Attack, and all are alerted after Ghastly Breath. Each projectile that hits the same target deals 20% less damage, but hitting an Enemy with all 4 Stuns them.

Ability Type: Area, Stun, Damage
Damage: 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+20 of your Magical Power)
Stun Duration: 1.4 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8s
Range: 55
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80
Cooldown: 13 / 12.5 / 12 / 11.5 / 11s

Ghastly Breath

2 A
Each of Cerberus's 3 heads releases a cone of noxious breath in front of them, damaging all enemies in range 7 times over 2.4s and reducing their Magical Protection up to three times. Enemies in the center of his breath are also Slowed up to three times. This attack immediately puts all three of Cerberus's heads on Alert for Paralyzing Spit.

Ability Type: Cone, Debuff, Damage
Damage Per Tick: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+12.5% of your Magical Power)
Slow Per Tick: 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12%

Cooldown: 14s
Soul Expulsion

Soul Expulsion

3 B
Cerberus leaps a short distance forward, dealing damage on impact and severing the souls of Enemies. These souls will not block Cerberus's attacks, and killing the souls heals Cerberus. Killing a God’s soul grants 2s reduced Cooldown on Soul Expulsion.

Ability Type: Leap
Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+60% of your Magical Power)
Soul Health: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150
Heal Per Minion: 12 / 19 / 26 / 33 / 40
Heal Per God: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100
Radius: 15
Cost: 55
Cooldown: 14s
Stygian Torment
5 15 20

Stygian Torment

4 Y
Cerberus's haunting wail summons below him the souls of the damned, which then lift all Enemy Gods into the air while stretching the link between their bodies and souls, Damaging them. This knockup can be cleansed. A short time later, Cerberus uses this link to pull the Enemies to him. This attack immediately puts all three of Cerberus's heads on Alert for Paralyzing Spit.

Ability Type: Circle, Crowd Control, Damage
Damage: 180 / 255 / 330 / 405 / 480 (+55% of your Magical Power)
Radius: 30
Cost: 90 / 95 / 100 / 105 / 110
Cooldown: 90s

Why I went the route that I did.

I'm very new to the game and I wanted a build mainly built around damage and life drain. One of the downsides to the build is the mana pool is fairly low and I found myself returning to spawn trying to regen mana. I hope that you enjoy the build and I hope you will give me feedback on where I should improve.

Hi Recluse,

As this build seems to be for current season (S4), I want to comment on a couple of main points.

Cerberus can deal a good amount of damage via his Paralyzing Spit (if all 4 hit), but he is a Guardian and is much more effective being built at least semi-tanky (aka bruiser). You do SORT of mix a bit of protections in, but it's not enough, and these types of gods aren't true damage dealers, so it's not best to get offensive lifesteal ( Bancroft's Talon)...you could consider Pythagorem's Piece since it has a group aura effect.

In addition, building Rod of Tahuti 2nd is really not efficient. It's super expensive and the passive benefits you the more power you already have built. For these reasons, it's usually built later...usually 5th or 6th.

An item like Toxic Blade requires you to hit enemies up to 3 times to gain full anti-heal stacks, and this god is NOT a basic attacker, he's ability-based. You need CDR to use abilities more often, and you have none in this build.

Not really sure what you did with your skill leveling, but each skill can be leveled to 5...you've got...8 levels in Spit, 4 in Soul, and 3 in Torment...just pointing that out.

Standard builds for Cerberus will usually see the use of Shoes of Focus or Reinforced Shoes, Breastplate of Valor, Void Stone, Spirit Robe / Mantle of Discord, Pestilence, Pythagorem's Piece, Genji's Guard, etc...

Also, Chance asks in your other comment if you've tried Book of Thoth or Warlock's Sash. Suggest against doing that...not optimal for him...

Hope this helps.

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.
