Core build

Notes This build will allow you to reach 3.5k health pretty easily late game and the ethereal passive + the green buff + charons stacked up passive will allow you to hit 4k health regularly, thus enabling manticore spikes to hit even harder, the lifesteal aspect of this build mainly comes from the bloodsoaked shroud, pyth piece and magus spear which helps you stay in fights longer and enable your teammates w/ more damage dealt and extra lifesteal.

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.
