Bluestone Brooch great item for 
Ah Puch as we are constantly sending out corpses and spamming abilities.
Gem of Focus gives Ah Puch a huge passive movement speed that are super valuable on a god with no dash or escape of his own.
Totem Of Death because Ah Puch is constantly hitting enemies with his abilities, stacking the enemy protection debuff is effortless.
Soul Reaver with tanks being everywhere in the current meta and everyone stacking health, this item is an absolute must. Poking a big bruiser with 
Empty the Crypts while Soul Reaver ticks away is just disgusting.
Rod of Tahuti the core item for any mage, no exceptions.
Obsidian Shard another mandatory pickup for any mage. Without the penetration this item gives, both tanks and squishies will shrug off damage that should be killing them.
Blinking Abyss makes Ah Puch a lot safer. Since he has zero mobility in his kit, having a blink to either escape an assassin diving you or reposition into a better angle in teamfights is genuinely game-changing.

Spear of Desolation instead of Totem Of Death if you want to go full damage without worrying about protection debuffs.
Divine Ruin instead of Totem Of Death if the enemy team is stacking healing. If you already have 
Fleeting Breath applying anti-heal, adding Divine Ruin on top of that makes healing gods like 
Aphrodite or 
Baron Samedi basically useless.
Chronos' Pendant instead of Gem of Focus is a great option if you feel like you need even more cooldown and sustain to keep spamming your abilities.
Time-Lock Aegis instead of Blinking Abyss if the enemy has a god with a massive damage combo that can one-shot you.
Magi's Cloak is worth considering if the enemy team has a lot of hard CC targeting you specifically. Ah Puch with no mobility is a natural target for crowd control chains, and Magi's Cloak blocking one CC effect can be the difference between getting your full combo off and dying before you cast anything.

Undead Surge first since this is our main poke, wave clear, and the primary way we generate corpses on the ground for 
Hollow Ground. Getting the slow up to 40% and the anti-heal online as fast as possible.
Corpse Explosion, as this is where all the actual burst damage comes from. The more ranks we get into it, the harder our corpse detonations hit. Fleeting Breath for last since the utility it provides, mainly the Stun on healers and the DoT, doesn't scale as hard with rank compared to the raw damage of our first two abilities. Empty the Crypts. More damage per tick, bigger healing reduction stacks, and the bonus corpses from the post-cast basic attacks all get significantly stronger with each rank.
We start by maxing out Undead Surge first since this is our main poke, wave clear, and the primary way we generate corpses on the ground for Hollow Ground. Getting the slow up to 40% and the anti-heal online as fast as possible.
After that we go for Corpse Explosion, as this is where all the actual burst damage comes from. The more ranks we get into it, the harder our corpse detonations hit.
We leave Fleeting Breath for last since the utility it provides, mainly the Stun on healers and the DoT, doesn't scale as hard with rank compared to the raw damage of our first two abilities.
Obviously, every time we can we upgrade our ultimate Empty the Crypts. More damage per tick, bigger healing reduction stacks, and the bonus corpses from the post-cast basic attacks all get significantly stronger with each rank.

Hi, my name is Ragna and I started playing Smite 1 on PC in 2021. I started playing in little community tournaments and after a lot of training and work I manage to play professional tournaments on Atlanta as the Smite Content Cup in 2024.
Now, in Smite 2 I have reached Deity every single split and I have competed in tournaments like Smite Vegas Qualifiers (ending in 5th position of EU) and right now Smite Prime, so Im always getting updated about the best metas on the game.
Apart from that I have a Twitch channel Ragna_smite where we play Smite 2 every single day and we do coaching for the subs to help them to improve on Smite 2, answering questions, talking about the game, etc.
Hope you find this guide as a good starting point for the midlane and helps you improve your Ah Puch skills and knowledge.
Here are my socials:
Passive -  Hollow GroundWhen Ah Puch walks over a decaying corpse on the ground, you reduce the cooldown of Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion and restore Health Mana. Corpses can be destroyed by enemy gods or the Fire Giant with 2 attacks, and you can have up to 6 active at a time.This passive completely changes how you play the game. Positioning yourself to walk over corpses between casts lets you spam your kit far more aggressively than the base cooldowns suggest. |
|
Ability 1 - Undead Surge Raises two decaying corpses from the underworld that surge forward, dealing Magical Damage to enemies in their path. Enemies hit are Slowed and have their Healing reduced for a duration. The corpses explode when they contact an enemy, reach max range, or when you reactivate the ability. After exploding they collapse and leave a corpse on the ground that you can pick up with your passive. This is your main wave clear and poke tool. The anti-heal is incredibly relevant in the current meta so try to always apply it before the enemy can heal up. |
|
Ability 2 - Corpse Explosion Detonates a target area, dealing Magical Damage to all enemies inside. Any decaying corpses within the blast zone are also triggered, dealing a significant additional chunk of Magical Damage per corpse that goes off. This is your main burst damage button and the core of every combo. The key is always setting up corpses with Undead Surge first, then detonating them with this. Landing both in the same spot on a clumped group of enemies is where Ah Puch gets his reputation for insane burst. Always think about corpse placement before you blow everything up.
|
|
Ability 3 - Fleeting Breath Throws a charm from the underworld that awakens a decaying corpse and applies to enemies in the area, dealing Magical Damage over time. If any enemy affected by this ability uses or receives healing during the debuff, they take a heavy burst of bonus Magical Damage and are Stunned at the end of the effect. The corpse spawned by this ability also falls to the ground and can be picked up. This ability is your anti-healer punish tool and your only hard CC. Against gods that heal frequently like Aphrodite,  Guan Yu, or any carry with lifesteal, this becomes an absolute menace.
|
|
Ultimate - Empty the Crypts Unleashes a massive field of spirits at a target location. Enemies standing inside take Magical Damage every and build up stacking debuffs that reduce their Healing and their Damage Dealt with each tick, up to 3 stacks. After casting, your next 3 basic attacks also launch zombies that leave decaying corpses behind. This is your zone control monster and your teamfight finisher. The healing reduction stacks combined with the damage reduction debuff make this one of the most oppressive zone control abilities in the game, perfect for stalling objectives or forcing an entire enemy team to scatter. |
Undead Surge -> Corpse Explosion -> Basic Attacks Fleeting Breath -> Undead Surge -> Corpse Explosion -> Basic Attacks (wait for Stun to proc) Empty the Crypts -> Basic Attack x3 (place corpses) -> Undead Surge -> Corpse Explosion
Undead Surge Slow makes it very easy to secure kills on enemies trying to contest. Ah Puch's passive, Hollow Ground. Always try to position yourself after casting Undead Surge to walk over the collapsed corpses that are left behind. This gives you free CDR, Health, and Mana, which is what lets you stay in lane without going back every five seconds. Undead Surge into Corpse Explosion chunks enemies for a huge amount. Start forcing the enemy mage under their tower with this combo and look for solo kill opportunities if they overextend. Empty the Crypts in the early game. It has a long cooldown and you need it available for when your jungler comes to gank. Dropping it just to clear a wave is usually a waste. Ah Puch is an absolute monster in teamfights. Empty the Crypts covering a big area combined with the corpse explosion follow-up is enough to obliterate multiple enemies at once. Fleeting Breath setting up the Stun into Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion is an incredibly easy kill setup. One good call on mid lane can snowball the whole game. Ah Puch doesn't have a dash, but we don't need one if we play from safe angles. Rotate after shoving your wave and always look to hit enemies with your corpse combos in narrow jungle paths where they can't dodge. Ah Puch is one of the best zone controllers in the entire roster. Throwing Undead Surge through narrow corridors or over walls and detonating them with Corpse Explosion makes you nearly impossible to approach for free. Fleeting Breath ready for any god with high lifesteal or healing support. Punishing a healer in a teamfight and getting the Stun proc can completely swing the fight in our favor. Undead Surge at their feet to Slow them, immediately follow with Corpse Explosion for the burst, and then back up. Without a mobility item like Blinking Abyss you rely entirely on your kit to survive dives. Ah Puch killed. Empty the Crypts directly on the pit. The zone forces enemies to either leave and give up the objective or stay and get shredded. Follow it up with 3 basic attacks to spawn corpses, then chain Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion into the pile for a massive burst. Empty the Crypts. Wait for them to group up, drop it on the pit, and hit as many people as possible with your full combo while they're stacked and debuffed. A well-timed ult here can flip the entire fight. Undead Surge Slow fields and deny them space. If they're the ones sieging, wait for them to group up, drop Empty the Crypts on them, and go for the full combo while they're debuffed and clustered. Ah Puch's corpse management and always know where your next explosion is coming from, trust us, you'll be an absolute nightmare to play against.
