Alternate items

Notes Shogun's Kusari can be swapped in for more magical defense.

Spectral Armor to deal with heavy critical damage.

Instead of Death's Embrace You can go Axe of Animosity to be more tanky and still output good damage. Death's Embrace just really helps keep your 1 cooldowns low.

Spirit Robe is also a good option for surviving a CC oriented team, it provides a good chunk of quick mitigations.

Introduction

Hello, I am BrutalBelly! I've been playing Smite for a few years now and am a Warrior enthusiast. I've been Masters in Duel and Conquest over this time as well. Even hitting GM in both, Duel Season 8 and Conquest current season. Over this time we've seen shifts to items and core builds. I saw a lot of the current builds being presented and wanted to show what I've been running in my games.

Erlang Shen's Abilities

Erlang Shen's Abilities


Passive - Howling Celestial Dog

One of the better boxing passives in the game. The dog paired with your one really help chip away damage from any god.


Ability 1 - Spot Weakness

Mega stim which really helps when boxing/versing an ADC. Death's Embrace plus the reduction for autos allows you to really have this up at all times.


Ability 2 - Pin

Standard root, use to close distance.


Ability 3 - 72 Transformations ES

Mink is a stim used to help in boxing/catch up to an opponent. Turtle is for the shield primarily. They got rid of the knock up on it leaving it as a more defensive option than offensive.


Ultimate - 9 Turns Blessing

Paired with your one's damage reduction you will be very tanky. This is a taunt, so it can be also used as a fight initiator off a blink.

Start


Start at XP camp near red, you are going to solo this. Afterwards you go to blue, you solo this as well. Then you head to lane lvl 2 and start your gameplay.

Solo Lane Objectives


Your main priority is in your lane.

Your objectives are as follows:
  • Wave: This is number one, this is your main source of xp and gold.

  • Totem: Very beneficial to the whole map and solo right now is about pressure. Securing totems helps the whole map out very much.

  • Cooldown camp: This one is important as well since controlling the neutral farm is the best way to snowball without directly getting kills.

  • TP harpy: This one is still a decent source of xp, but cooldown camp and totem should be prioritized if you have to pick.

  • Comet: This one is random, but when it does land on your side it is very nice to have. It gives passive aura damage (kind of like a mystical mail) and some xp. Having pressure in solo really helps you secure this when it lands.

  • Blue Buff: This one is a given, you need to defend this (not to the death).

  • Enemy Blue Buff: If you can safely invade and try to steal it, do it. If there are lane objectives up go for them as walking into the enemy jungle is unpredictable.

  • Back XP Camp/Shaman: If your jungle is neglecting this you can steal it, especially if they are on the other side of the map. I've seen a lot of jungles on duo side when this camp and blue are spawning so it is important to get the shamans on the camps as soon as they spawn.

  • Teleporter: This is a good way to get over to duo side without having to sacrifice your TP relic (or way to get back after TPing over duo).

Ward Spots



Common spot to control during laning phase.




When fighting for objectives, you want to have general vision of these areas.



When sieging/defending having vision here allows your team to cast over the wall and lineup accordingly. Also helps to spot traps and split pushers.

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.
