Rest of the Build

Notes Getting ferocious operational as well as runeforged is a must. Follow purchase order of the items listed. Depending on how much gold you have, I recommend getting Scepter before Frostbound, but if you're a few levels behind and still have a handful of cash, go ahead and get frostbound.

Medusa's Skill Order Notes Due to Acid Spray's wide AOE and wave clear, you're better off getting it maxed out as quickly as possible, and then to your Viper Shot to synergize the dots. Although the damage is nice on Petrify, it's better used as a utility in team/gank fights. Lacerate is there for escape or chase. 'nuff said.

Extended Build

Situational

Notes Although medusa does have 50% healing reduction with her 2, there are some gods that just have too much lifesteal; gotta ruin their day. And if you're against an entire team full of physical, drop the frostbound and get Titan's.

Lazy Title

I'll put a more 'in-depth' guide in this, but to summarize this; ferocious and runeforged gives crusher, manikin's and viper shot increased tick damage, which in turn obliterates any poor sod that is in your crosshairs. Enjoy melting everyone's hp bars :)

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.
