Introduction

Hi there! I'm HenkBanaan, playing smite since the beta! Recently Chiron has been one of my favorite hunters so thought I would share my perspective on the adc powerhouse that is FABULOUS Chiron! Hope you enjoy, and please leave your comments so i can correct or improve this guide!

Items

[*] bluestone pendant: early item for clearing and DoT, also gives a little bit of mana
[*] Bumba's mask: Gives you the edge early on to clear red and purple. Also gives you that just bit extra at the gold fury or other camps
[*] Warrior tabi: shoes..... do I need to say more? Alright, the physical power is nice with the pen you get later on!
[*] Executioner: Works perfectly with Chiron, you don't need to start with lifesteal but you really need the attack speed and a lot of pen to deliver the best damage with your aa's, apply marks and do a lot of damage with skills
[*] Brawlers beatstick: pen, power, healing and regeneration reduction. Works awesome, les healing from allies, more damage on skills and aa's
[*] Bloodforge: Mostly bought because of the shield, Chiron has nice self-healing so this is a bit of a luxury item. The shield is amazing though, when you chase down enemies with giddyup you can get out safely because of the shield. KEK
[*] Titan's bane: A nice final item so everything does a lot more damage, either swap this item with brawlers so you get the 33% early on, but this works the best for me.

Chiron start

Chiron is a very mobile powerhouse that received a significant buff lately. His skill Training Exercise marks all enemies for masterful shot and so you can hit multiple enemies very quickly. That explains the early bluestone pendant. After getting bluestone and bumba's you will be heading towards the redbuff, you will attack it and receive almost all of your health after killing them with training exercise and aa's. After that you will be heading towards purple attack this with your training exercise and aa's until your guardian is in the vicinity so you can disengage and go into lane with full health.

Chiron Clearing

Clearing with Chiron has never been so easy, hit the full minion wave (and enemies if you can) with training exercise and then with masterful shot. Do this and then with the ticks from bluestone you will be able to outclear almost every adc in game. Especially when you come to the lane first, with this combo you can get early pressure on the lane.

general tactics

Chiron is very mobile hunter, his giddy up skill allows you to easily get out of awkward situations, especially combined with training exercise that removes cc from the area. Knowing that you shouldn't head in to fights without thinking. Use your giddyup when you are in danger or to chase down enemies. Same goes for your ult, it can rescue you from death and it has a very long reach. Use it wisely. It also marks enemies and it gives so much satisfaction to almost kill your opponent with your ult and when they think they are safe you can kill them with masterful shot. That's why you should always have your masterful shot up when you ult. So those pesky opponents don't stand a chance at getting away with just a few bars left.

Hi Henk,

Lol on "FABULOUS" Chiron. It's really interesting to see the amount of discussion the new skin has created.

Anyway, to the build. If I were to state the overall feeling I get from it, it's...basically ADD...either a lack of focus or trying to do everything all at once. I'll try to explain.

To clarify, your start is perfect. That's probably the common start for him, though perhaps is by preference. I think that's how I'd start these days as ADC, since he has a pretty nice escape.

Your build examples are both...okay, in a way. I won't say that you couldn't find success with them, but I feel that you are fluctuating too much on different build styles, especially with regard to the build order. You're basically making him a hybrid, but without being strong at one or the other at any specific time. I understand the thought process, but I think splitting his build like this may make him less effective.

When we consider as a hybrid hunter, it's because he relies more strongly on abilities than other hunters, and his scaling is pretty good on his abilities. He can still deal a lot of damage with basic attacks...he's a hunter after all, but...well, let me approach this a different way (can you see I'm finding it hard to explain my thoughts?).

Build Discussion - Common Trans Build

So...let's go over what I'd probably consider a more standard build.

, , , , (optional), + or (order based on preference/need), situational (e.g. , , )

What's going on here?

Same starters, and then movement first. You state in your item description that Warrior Tabi's power is nice with the pen you get later on. Specifically, though, the higher power over Ninja Tabi is nice in Conquest for early clear potential, when you're still in the laning phase and a lot of the battle is outclearing and pressuring.
Transcendence is extremely popular for him, since he relies on abilities (mana is nice) and the high power helps his waveclear (and again, his ability scaling). From there, options usually open up.
Asi is common follow-up to Trans, and a pretty nice item now from the buff, the low cost, and the health sustain via lifesteal ( Herbal Medicine just doesn't provide enough healing to take the place of lifesteal). If you plan to get Qin's Sais, this is also a nice start on attack speed so you can get more out of Qin's passive.
In whichever order works for you, a pen item and Qin's Sais go in the 4th and 5th slot, usually. I'll start by talking about Qin's. This is often a good choice when going with a high pen build...Trans doesn't provide lifesteal like Devo's does, so you often need a separate lifesteal slot. If you consider the mainstays of the Trans build, you need movement (1), Trans (2), strong pen (3), and lifesteal (4). If you go crit, it takes up the final 2 slots, so it often means you have to miss out on something else. So Qin's is a nice DPS boost and only takes up 1 slot, meaning you have more flexibility for a final item.
Regarding penetration, your original build had both Exe AND Titan's...which isn't awful, but is situational...it works best when facing an extremely heavy protection/tanky team. Yes, it introduces inefficiency with the way protection reduction and % pen works, but is still crazy with the end pen effect on high protection enemies. For now, the basic concept is that The Executioner is for basic attack DPS, and Titan's Bane is better for objective damage and ability damage. In order to get the most out of The Executioner, you need to get those 3 stacks first...so if you lead with abilities, THEN follow with basics, Exe isn't helping those abilities with regard to its protection reduction.
Final slot is optional. Brawler's Beat Stick is nice for the power and flat pen, and works well with someone like Chiron who can affect multiple enemies at once with his Masterful Shot, applying anti-heal effectively...but it's specifically for anti-heal situations. The Crusher also works, due to the passive's CDR effect along with having stats that work well with his kit overall (power, pen, attack speed). Odysseus' Bow is really helpful when combining with Qin's Sais to get more passive procs, and is nice for the added DPS in a teamfight. Those are probably the most common...

Now let's talk about your builds, based on the previous info.

Your Full and Crit Builds

In both cases, you're getting The Executioner as the 2nd item. This is generally not a preferred spot for the item. Sure, the early pen is nice, but gains effectiveness the more protections an enemy has. You won't be dealing with heavy tanks until later, and you'll often find better overall damage with other items. It's okay if you don't want to get Transcendence in your build (maybe you dislike stacking), but Exe 2nd is still not that efficient.
You get Brawler's Beat Stick either 3rd (full build) or 4th (crit build). This is great to counter healing, but is pretty awkward in this position for a build. Your first item choice, Warrior Tabi, is more for ability damage or early clear...then you get Exe 2nd, which is very specifically for basic attack DPS. In the 3rd spot, you're then switching back to ability damage, and again...just a bit awkward. I think it could work a bit better in a 4th spot situationally when getting Trans, making your abilities do both very high damage AND have anti-heal on top of it...but otherwise, as stated previously, possibly a situational 6th pick.
The only other item in your full build that is strongly out of place (other than TB situationally) is Bloodforge. Why? It's good that it has health sustain, and the high power is appreciated. That said, you got Qin's Sais 2nd, but other than Exe, no other attack speed...and if you bother getting Qin's, investing in the attack speed is sort of important. I guess if you at least switched out Warrior Tabi for Ninja Tabi late, it would help.
Wind Demon 3rd on your crit build seems a bit early for such an expensive item...and then not taking advantage of getting 2nd crit until you finally get Deathbringer 6th is just too long of a delay. Here, would suggest NOT getting both crit and Qin's in most cases as SkyPirate also said...and would delay Wind Demon a bit. Get it maybe 4th or 5th, followed immediately by Deathbringer. Rage would be an alternative to Wind Demon for higher crit % and cheaper entry price for crit.

In any case, I just see the more standard Trans build being more beneficial for him, with less weaknesses throughout the build progression compared to your current build proposals.

IMO you shouldn't get and because they counteract each other due to the order in which penetration is applied. Some people say you shouldn't get Qin's and Crit together because qin's requires high pen and crit requires high attackspeed. I may be wrong, tho

Thanks for the comment! And you're indeed right with the exe + titan's. I changed it to deathbringer because of the raw power and exe+brawlers is enough pen to strip the prot's from warriors and guardians. The other thing from Qin's and crit together is IMO a nice combo, because the crits work nice for squishy targets but less for warriors and guardians, I like to burst down the guardians with Qin's and you also have brawlers so you have the pen for Qin's and the attkspd for Crits

I think the Qin's and Crit thing is more that it's not optimal for either one but they can work decently well. It's more a case of you usually get more out of one or the either, but both work decently well together.

Generally higher DPS but can take longer and more shots to kill a target
