Pendulum of Ages Ra’s survivability depends on his passive movement speed, which requires constant ability casting. This item provides a massive 20% Cooldown Reduction, allowing you to fire Searing Pain every 30-40 seconds in the late game
Book of Thoth As a spam-heavy mage, Ra consumes mana rapidly. This item solves your resource issues and converts your total mana into a massive Intelligence boost.
Spear of Desolation provides great intelligence, which is lethal against squishy targets like the enemy Hunter or Mage during the mid-game. Its passive resets a portion of your cooldowns on kills/assists, allowing for rapid-fire skills rotations in team fights.

Divine Light between your ability cooldowns.
Rod of Tahutiits the ultimate damage spike for mages. Its passive grants 25% bonus itelligence. Core item for every mage rigth now.
Obsidian Shard its essential for the late game when enemy Guardians and Solos have built high Magic Protection. The 35% Penetration ensures your sunlight burns through even the tankiest targets.

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 and SCC during 2023.
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 Janus skills and knowledge.
Here are my socials:
Passive -  Speed Of LightEvery time Ra uses an ability, he gains a stack of movement speed. This stacks up to 3 times.Keeping your passive stacks up is vital for survival since Ra lacks a dash. Use your  Solar Blessing even when not in combat to keep your speed up while rotating between lanes.
|
|
Ability 1 - Celestial Beam Ra fires a beam of intense light that travels in a straight line, damaging all enemies in its path. This is your primary waveclear and poke tool. Because it has a travel time, try to aim where the enemy will be, or wait for your teammates to land CC like  Athena's  Confound to guarantee a hit.
|
Ability 2 -  Divine Light Ra emits a light that slows nearby enemies. After 2 seconds, it explodes, dealing damage and blinding enemies facing Ra.Use this as a self-peel tool when an assassin like  Thor or  Susano dives you. The blind can disrupt their combo, giving you enough time to move away with your passive speed. Apart from this, use it as well to boost your autoattacks so you can delete objectives and towers faster.
|
|
Ability 3 - Solar Blessing Ra summons a beam of light that heals allies and damages enemies within its radius every second. In team fights, place this where your frontline (Guardians/Warriors) are fighting. It provides them with essential sustain while forcing the enemy to take ticking damage if they want to stay in the area. |
|
Ultimate - Searing Pain Ra summons a massive blast of light, dealing huge damage to all enemies in a line in front of him. This is one of the most iconic snipes in the game. You are immune to CC while casting it. Use it to secure objectives like Fire Giant , to finish off low-health carries through walls where they don't expect the hit or to scape some CC ability from the enemies. |
Divine Light -> Celestial Beam Divine Light (for slow) -> Solar Blessing (underneath them) -> Searing Pain Divine Light -> Solar Blessing (at your feet) -> Run!.
Celestial Beam to clear the minion line quickly. Speed Of Light to rotate efficiently. Ra is vulnerable due to a lack of a dash or leap, so prioritize efficient farming and safe positioning over risky kills. Divine Light to protect yourself from early ganks by blinding aggressive junglers and keep your passive stacks up to maintain high mobility. Book of Thoth and Spear of Desolation, giving you the power to severely threaten enemy carries. Speed Of Light to rapidly rotate between the mid lane and jungle camps. Searing Pain to snipe over-extended enemies through walls. Solar Blessing to provide both damage and essential sustain during fights. Ra becomes a premier long-range sniper, capable of dealing massive burst damage while providing team-wide healing. Celestial Beam to force them to retreat. Searing Pain to instantly delete wounded carries or secure kills setup by your teammates' CC. Ra is most effective when he can safely fire abilities from the backline while maintaining his movement speed stacks. Solar Blessing to keep your team healthy and use your ultimate to zone the enemy jungler away from the pit. Searing Pain with the objective's health bar to attempt a high-damage steal from safety. Solar Blessing on the objective to help your team tank shots or clear enemy waves safely from behind the wall. Celestial Beam and the timing of your snipes will distinguish you as a top-tier Ra player.
