In his Berserk Form, Cu Chulainn instead gives a terrifying yell, Damaging all Enemies and causing them to Tremble. This yell costs no Rage and has a 35s cooldown.

Aditional (Decently Important) Info!

You can also easily make your own build using the items, so for anyone who thinks they are bound to the example builds, this is not the case.
I hope you enjoy playing Cu Chulainn!

P.S. If you are wondering why the build got edited and made more extravagant, it was like that since the second day it was up... I just forgot to hit Publish and hit Save instead T^T

Update on builds !IMPORTANT!
I put the mixed build in as per request, however I recommend sticking with either a physical or magical oriented build depending on the amount of gods in said categories on the other team.
Practically 3 or more physical gods on the enemy team means physical build and 3 or more magical gods on the enemy team means magical build. If however you prefer being prepared against both when the amount of different gods is evenly spread and decently even in power, then you can use the mixed build.

Sincerely,
Iris~<3

A quick correction, in your God Skill Order, you can't have your Spear of Mortal Pain / War Cry at level # 4.
Greetings.

How about an optional build for mixed enemies?

IrisTenshi | October 2, 2017 8:25am
I have added it as per your request, however I still recommend sticking with either just a physical or a magical build. They usually work better and I elaborated more on which one to use when in the additional info :)

Sincerely,
Iris

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.
