I would always recommend this starter because gives a lot of gold that in early game will make a difference comparing to other starters right now in the game!
Axe will evolve into
Devourer's Gauntlet.
Purification Beads will save you during early game giving CC immunity during 2 seconds.
Gilded Arrow
Axe
Health Potion
Purification Beads
Sharpshooter's Arrow it is a really good starter because provides you high attack damage, attack speed a critical chances that fit perfectly with this build!
Devourer's Gauntlet works perfectly with this starter because you don't have any sustain and this item gives you good lifesteal and strength.
Demon Blade it is a good choice for early game critical build because is the only item which provides you with crit and attack speed.
Deathbringer is the best critical item because boosts your critical damage. You need to build this item as soon as possible to have enough critical chances to make this build work.
Titan's Bane provides you with with great amount of strength and penetration being a very cheap item.
Quin's Blade's one of the best items to burn down tanky solo laners and supports.
Blinking Abyss's kinda broken because apart of providing strength or intelligence depeding which one you have the most, enhaced your other item stats and will help you a lot in surviving during late game fights!
This build is meant for competitive because your enemies are supposed to be in communication and playing smart so you will be in most of the cases only hitting tanks or junglers that are trying to kill you. Most of them will have more than 200 hundred physical and magical protections and more than 3500 HP so you will need to have bought penetration items for being able to kill them as quick as possible.

Purification Beads
Phantom Shell should be bought if their set up doesn't have gods with much CC's and they have walls in their kits like
Ymir or
Cabrakan.
Aegis of Acceleration it is a really good option because it has low CD. You should always buy it in the games where the enemy gods don't have much CC's or in the case they have many burst skills.
Aegis of Acceleration
Phantom Shell
Rage's a great option if you fall behind and you need a cheap item with critical chances so you can buy other penetration items earlier!
Rage
Dagger Of Frenzy is always a great option for early game because it provides you good strength, attack speed and a passive with attack speed and attack speed damage boost every 15 seconds only for 2400 gold (really cheap item).
A great choice for snowballing in laning phase or winning trades because of having a boost.
The Executioner incorporating this item in an attack speed based build it is crucial because it will give you attack speed, strength and penetration to burn objectives and tanky gods.
Odysseus' Bow is pretty cool for farming damage and dealing high amount of damage during team fights in late game. The only problem that it has is that it doesn't provide of any power stat so you will have less DPS.
Riptalon you should always buy this item because of its statistics and passive which allows you to have a really good survival and sustain kit.

Hey, this guide is brought to you by TottiGR! I started playing Smite on PC in February 2014. I have been playing competitive since 2016 and I have been a professional Smite player between March 2020 to July 2023. I have played in different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans this last year. I have peaked 3500 MMR GM/Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC every season since 2017. I also made Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022 so I really think I have the knowledge about guiding about the ADC role. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing
Apollo as an ADC.
