Notes I like Golden Shard for clearing purposes, but Horn Shard is a good option for getting a second set of abilities off quicker.

Relics

Notes These relics are generally picked up right now.

Persistent Teleport is my go to as pressure is important and there is generally always something to fight about in lane.

The next relic you choose is up to you. Each has pros and cons, just play around with it and find what works for you.

Introduction

Hello, I am BrutalBelly! I've been playing Smite for a few years now and am a Warrior enthusiast. I've been Masters in Duel and Conquest over this time as well. Even hitting GM in both, Duel Season 8 and Conquest current season. Over this time we've seen shifts to items and core builds. I saw a lot of the current builds being presented and wanted to show what I've been running in my games.

Cu Chulainn's Abilities

Cu Chulainn's Abilities


Passive - Berserk

Upon reaching 85 rage, Cu Chulainn becomes a technical stance switcher. Gaining a new set of abilities. The berserk transformation is typically feared level 2 as he can secure a kill or pressure to take over the lane.


Ability 1 - Barbed Spear / Ground Slam

Standard line ability in normal form that applies anti heal. In berserk form it roots. With Cu Chulainn it's all about rage management. This plus your 3 are your primary stackers of it. Be aware of how close you are to transforming as you might transform unwillingly sometimes.


Ability 2 - Vent Anger

Basically a throw away ability in normal form, usually only used to decrease rage to prolong transformation. When activated it is basically Mystical Mail. Enabled by default in berserk transformation, be aware if you are trying to blink the damage will keep you in combat.


Ability 3 - Salmon's Leap / Furious Charge

Standard form allows you to leap over abilities, very good for invincibility frames. Berserk form is a push very similar to Hercules. Be aware of how close you are to transforming as you might transform unwillingly sometimes.


Ultimate - Spear of Mortal Pain / War Cry

Standard form is a very good blink engage ability. Similar to Bellona Bludgeon windup with Chaac knock up. Berserk form is still good, but the CC from it isn't really the strongest. Tremble is alright, but this is mostly used when form is about to expire or trying to secure a kill.

Start


Start at XP camp near red, you are going to solo this. Afterwards you go to blue, you solo this as well. Then you head to lane lvl 2 and start your gameplay.

Solo Lane Objectives


Your main priority is in your lane.

Your objectives are as follows:
  • Wave: This is number one, this is your main source of xp and gold.

  • Totem: Very beneficial to the whole map and solo right now is about pressure. Securing totems helps the whole map out very much.

  • Cooldown camp: This one is important as well since controlling the neutral farm is the best way to snowball without directly getting kills.

  • TP harpy: This one is still a decent source of xp, but cooldown camp and totem should be prioritized if you have to pick.

  • Comet: This one is random, but when it does land on your side it is very nice to have. It gives passive aura damage (kind of like a mystical mail) and some xp. Having pressure in solo really helps you secure this when it lands.

  • Blue Buff: This one is a given, you need to defend this (not to the death).

  • Enemy Blue Buff: If you can safely invade and try to steal it, do it. If there are lane objectives up go for them as walking into the enemy jungle is unpredictable.

  • Back XP Camp/Shaman: If your jungle is neglecting this you can steal it, especially if they are on the other side of the map. I've seen a lot of jungles on duo side when this camp and blue are spawning so it is important to get the shamans on the camps as soon as they spawn.

  • Teleporter: This is a good way to get over to duo side without having to sacrifice your TP relic (or way to get back after TPing over duo).

Ward Spots



Common spot to control during laning phase.




When fighting for objectives, you want to have general vision of these areas.



When sieging/defending having vision here allows your team to cast over the wall and lineup accordingly. Also helps to spot traps and split pushers.

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.
