Dotmaster KuKu (Arena Build)

Yes you're right, that leveling order is not possible (I double checked) and while that level order is on his guide this is more likely a simple mistake and not a direct reflection on Kriega's knowledge as Kriega is one of the most knowledgeable people here on Smitefire.

As for the Sprint vs aegis thing I agree with Kriega and Gulf that aegis is better. Yes the movement speed is nice but like Gulf said, leave it to the guardians and warriors. The reason for this is that movement speed isn't going to help you as much as you think. From what you're saying it sounds like you're using it as an escape and from my experience it's pretty easy to anticipate someones movement especially if they're running back to base.

You used Thor Ult as an example so I will too. Thor Ult is a global ult meaning he just pops into the air and can aim pretty much anywhere on the map so all that the thor has to do (and what I'd do) is just target an area slightly ahead of you and you'll get hit almost every time and chances of surviving are low. Aegis on the other hand will prevent you from taking the damage from the ult (not the stun unfortunately) so already you have a better chance at surviving (this does require you to pay attention and anticipate the thor but isn't that hard to do) though in all honesty, if you're by yourself and on low health, a thor ult is going to lead to your death most of the time.

That was one example but from all the games I've played I've learned that it's incredibly easy to anticipate an enemies movement, sprint or not and landing a potentially killing skill isn't hard. Aegis will let you survive something like that but sprint won't.
