Introduction

First of all, English is not my main language so please excuse some of my grammar mistakes :)

Hi.. I'm not a high ranked (above diamond) or pro player(cuz ı don't trust my current PC build and internet service for higher-ranked games). I'm mostly a casual and golden ranked player and I'm at 10+ mastery level with Cernunnos. Tho I'm not an advanced competitive Smite player, at the same time ı watch and follow professional players, analysts, and educator streamers. And try to follow the current meta since 5.17.

I'm gonna try to cover Cernunnos's guide as a pure ADC for multiple game modes.

Cernunnos is the most unique hunter imo. Cuz of his Its not a stance swap for abilities but it's a stance swap for basic auto attacks. Yes, Freya and Xbalanque have similar things but those are just buffs. Not swapping.

On the other side for Cernnunnos;

Blue Stance (winter) -> Slows enemy
Green Stance (spring) -> Life steal
Yellow Stance (autumn) -> Kinda works as penetration/protection shred.
Red Stance ( Summer) -> Extra physical power boost (kinda complimented to crit builds)

So that's why Cernunnos is a very versatile aa build hunter. And Very unique and fun to play. Also one of the best adc gods in close combat too. His basics felt like melee attacks sometimes.

It's kinda bit hard to first play and adjusting but not so hard to master it imo. He is not like Ullr or Hou Yi.

Let's move on.

Abilities of Cernunnos






His kit is pretty straight forward. Nothing tricky about it. So ı don't think we need to talk over it so much. The only deal with Cern is his build decisions. Which season stance that you're gonna compliment with your build that's the most important thing about it.

And as a side note: The only downfall and disadvantaged side of Cern is his ultimate imo. It ain't have legit damage. Also, the radius of it is kinda small, it's easy to juke cuz it's telegraphed way earlier. And it's a very slow burn ability. Also in the early game, it's almost useless cuz you're not gonna be fast enough to kill 1 or 2 pigs in 2 seconds. So don't use it for execution in the early game. Use for setup.

It's more like a kill secure or escape tool for early game but very helpful at late game.

Also, magi's cloak and beads can counter. And the saddest part, you don't have cc immunity while ulting (like Artemis) so don't trust your ult that much.


Trust your 2 + Basics combo more. It's annoying for the enemy.

Combos for Cernunnos

There are not much of Combos for Cernunnos. Only 2 of 'em.

Short one -> +

Bigger one -> + +

And ıf there is no one around and its just you and your enemy in 1 vs 1 then you could implament your into these combos (its one of the highest damage number dashes in the game but ı think you should use it for escape or chase.

______________________________________________

Cern aint have much ability base combos but he can pull off combos via his

You see since his winter stance has slow this allowed you to get benefit from and you can even amplify his winter stance effect with And items like would complement both your spring and autumn stances (cuz of lifesteal and pen). And crit items such as or would be great for your summer stance.

All combos you need are the correct items and your . Also a decent amount of attack speed.

Gameplay


Be patient at early game cuz even after recent buff to your
your early clear and early game presence still not so impressive. So at the early stages kept your distance don't engage in rush and farm a lot.

And after mid to late game turn on your artillery mode. Cuz of your slows, root, and ultimate it's not easy to get you. You can be brave but you can't be stupid, you can't handle that cuz you don't have cc immunity and since your is both linear and ground target ability (which means you cant arrange distance easily like Hachiman's #2. Minions or another enemy could block it and interrupt your long shot with it. Also, it cant be implemented behind walls too. So Ymir, Thor, Terra, Anhur can easily block.

You're a mechanical aa base hunter with one simple but effective setup but still, most of the efficiency of Cernunnos comes from his aim. make sure your auto attacks are landing.


Be aggressive at mid to late game as possible but don't put yourself into impossible tasks. You're a countable god after all.

And as a sidenote, Cern is better with old school pure supports such as Khepri, Ganesha, Geb, Ares, Sylvanus, Bacchus. Rushdown supports like Cerberus, Jormungandr, Cthulhu, Fenrir, Kuzenbo, Sobek not gonna be cool with him.

Also utility guardians like Athena, Artio can be tricky, they can work with him but it has to be good. Cuz Cern can deal damage but since his ultimate is a bit situational and he ain't have cc immunity; old school pure supports can cover his disadvantages better.

Pros & Cons

CONS:

- No cc immunity
- Ultimate has execution issues and even if you can execute then there is a "not rewarding enough" problem. Cuz Hera's #2 basically is your ultimate. But it's a decent team fight ult tho
- You're an auto-attack base hunter such as Xbalanque or Jing Wei but you're not safe as those 2.
- Early Game could be a messy task.

PROS

- You're not an ability dependent, mana hungry hunter.
- You're probably one of the most unique gods in the history of The Smite
- After the early game, your lane pressure is amazing
- You've got a good amount of cc and setup. And safe enough.
- Versatile in terms of items. He could make work many many items.
- Cern is a sleeper god right now. He is gonna shine again soon.

Hi Hadeyan. Finally got some time to look at the builds. I would recommend you re-read what BranMuffin17 mentioned down below int he comments.

So, let's go over some basics. Hunters typically require these two things in their builds:
1) Large Percentage Penetration - The Executioner and maybe Titan's Bane if tanks are a problem
2) DPS - Pick either Qin's Sais OR crits (you need reliable crit chance, so at least two crit items, or just Rage by itself).

So let's go over your builds. I'm only going to comment on any glaring issues. For optimization, you'll want to go to BranMuffin17.
1) Spring Stance Base Mid Game Build - This seems ok. But I'm sure it could be further optimized.
2) Winter Stance Base Mid Game Build - No DPS option. You need Qin's Sais in there somewhere.
No reason to build Frostbound Hammer when you have winter stance slow in your kit already. I know it makes enemies "walk backwards", but you can get better items
3) Autumn & Summer Stance Base Mid Game Build: That Jotunn's Wrath needs to go. Don't combine an ability/CDR item with crits. If you're going to get crits, it's preferable to get Deathbringer as your last crit item. So I would have this build as:
Transcendence > Ninja Tabi > Asi > and then The Executioner > Rage > Deathbringer (or maybe there's a more optimal order for the last three items)
4) Hybrid Auto Attack Base Mid Game Build: Missing The Executioner. Penetration is core.
5) Ability & AA Hybrid Mid Game Build: Missing The Executioner. Penetration is core.
6) Spring Stance Base Late Game Build: Seems ok, though I would get Transcendence instead of Devourer's Gauntlet, and I would replace the runeforged with Deathbringer.
7) Winter Stance Base Late Game Build: Missing Qin's Sais and odysseus's bow

I'll stop there for now. I think you have too many builds. I would like for you to cut it down to about 1/3 or 1/4 of what you have right now.

These should be your cookie cutter builds






Let me know if you have questions.

Thx again.

Is it poor idea to run Runeforged + crit?
1
Hadeyan (2) | April 10, 2020 8:56am
First of all ı updated the guide. Previous version isnt compatible and streching enough.

And about the question;

It might seem like that but I dont think so.

People still dont use Cern at his all potential (and even ı dont). Generaly peopel stuck with Spring Stance for all game and only went Summer & Autumn stances for killing blows.

But if you consider Winter Stance too. Runeforge will proc with your every basic attack and add crit on to that. Runeforge is one of the rare 50+ physical power item in the game. And its adding %15 more power if enemy effected by a CC . So Winter Stance Basic ATtack + His 2 + Another Basic is very lethal thru mid to late game thx to Runeforged Hammer. And Add Crit chance into this combo ? One of 'emm will be have extra crit damage via rage.

Yeah you either want your Devourers or trans + asi if you go crit

Gulfwulf (81) | July 2, 2019 12:25am
Yes. Rune is for a more ability focused build, which you don't really get with a crit build.

Gulfwulf (81) | April 29, 2019 8:07am
I want to know why witchblade is still listed, Deathbringer is not listed as a second crit item, why exe is bought so late, and why Rage is built after Poisoned Star. I can tell you from experience that witch doesn't help as much as you think it does.

Gulfwulf (81) | April 24, 2019 9:44am
I think Witchblade should be swapped out for Qin's Sais; Ichaival already has an attack speed slow on the enemy so witch isn't really needed.

Hadeyan (2) | April 24, 2019 9:37am
As you can see most of my builds has 2 penetration item ( Asi and Executioner) and even some of 'em has 3 (Crusher, Asi, Executioner). So when you had that much penetration I dont think, Qin's Sais is needed anymore. And its so situational. Maybe ı could put that into my Summer&Autumn stance build. But other builds aint need that.

2 pen item in almost everybuild and runeforged hammer amplify upcoming damages of these 2 pen item via its passive and ıchaival gave us physical power increase at each hit or odyseus bow is gonna hit like an ultimate in late game. Qin's Sais kinda bit unnecessary imo.

But ı totaly can understand qin's sais pick over Cern against tanky team compositions.
1
Kriega1 (143) | April 24, 2019 9:49am
Any teams with a tanky support and solo is a match worth getting qins on Cernunnos
1
Gulfwulf (81) | April 24, 2019 9:46am
Qin's isn't a pen item, though; it's a do more damage item based on the target's health.

Could you list some viable builds with skill order?
1
Branmuffin17 (394) | April 24, 2019 10:54am
Agreed with Kriega. Tons of builds (13), but not really one I'm fully happy with. And where are the Trans build options? Trans + Asi builds are some of the strongest right now.
  • Spring Stance Base Mid Game Build: Devo's + Asi can be fine for super high sustain. That said, if I do double-lifesteal, I'd prefer to get the 2nd one later than 3rd. O-Bow is built way too early. It should be a cake topper to a build with Qin's Sais. And you're saying to use Spring Stance mid, meaning even MORE lifesteal? No. Use Spring stance to make up for some lifesteal you DON'T have. Better order: Devo's, Ninja, Exe, Qin's, O-Bow, Rune / Asi in whichever order you want, and with Devo's as first item, you don't need to be in Spring to begin.

  • Winter Stance Base Mid Game Build: If you're going to be in winter stance, why aren't you taking advantage of getting Runeforged Hammer earlier? Why is Exe first? (Or is it last? No explanation on this) And with Winter, you don't need Frost. I don't get the concept here. If you want to focus on Winter mid-game, better build order: Ninja, Asi, Rune, Exe, Qin's, situational, and stay in Winter to get the consistent Rune bonus.

  • Autumn & Summer Stance Base Mid Game Build: O-Bow again built too early, and shouldn't be built in combination with crits. Crits want power. O-Bow has 0 power. PS followed by Rage isn't optimal. You'll either choose PS + DB, or Rage + DB, but for Cern, who has no AS steroid, Rage is probably not suggested at all. DB should be your option...with a late Wind Demon after DB (as replacement to. If you go crit w/ PS, it provides the slow that you can use to incorporate Runeforged Hammer. But you're not doing that here. This build in particular has major issues.

  • Hybrid Auto Attack Base Mid Game Build: Again with 2 lifesteal items in the first 3 items. Again, it's potentially okay if you are going for a high sustain build (BaRRa partially recommended as an option in his recent Jing video), but not suggested in most cases. Also, how exactly is this a "hybrid" build? What's hybrid about it? Hybrid normally refers to either bruiser builds (e.g. both offensive and defensive items) or builds that incorporate ability and basic attack focus (e.g. CDR + basic attack items). This is not hybrid in any sense. This build also doesn't have Exe, which is bad.

  • Ability & AA Hybrid Mid Game Build: Again with hybrid, but at least this time it has a somewhat hybrid-y item in The Crusher, which gets some additional function from ability use. Wouldn't call it hybrid personally, though. If you want to incorporate Crusher, you might go Devo's, Ninja, Crusher, Exe, Qin's, situational. If you want it to be more ability/AA hybrid, you might go Trans, Ninja, Asi, Crusher, Exe, Qin's.

  • Spring Stance Base Late Game Build: 3x lifesteal...no, please don't. This build has, again, major issues. Not even going to propose something different. Just delete this one, would be my suggestion.

    Also, you don't need to do mid and late-game builds. Just use the mid build base, and add a 7th item. In the notes, just say to replace Tabi with the 7th item.

  • Winter Stance Base Late: Why Witchblade as the replacement item? Don't get Witch. You're still missing the bulk of the damage from Qin's, and Witch doesn't have any power. When you build extra AS, you do that to get more out of Qin's. Without Qin's, your DPS suffers in a high AS build.

  • Autumn/Summer Late: Adding Silver doesn't make up for the major issues of the base build.

  • Hybrid Late: Finally get Exe here...but the theme is that the base build is just not great without Qin's.

  • Ability/AA Hybrid Late: Adding PS to this build is awful. Only 1 crit item is not efficient.

  • Assault Build: Starting with Asi is okay, I guess. Gives you a lot of early sustain. Qin's still needs to be in there, and you probably don't need BF late. Still missing Qin's.

  • Full CDR Build: The name isn't quite accurate. It's 30% CDR, not the max 40%. A full CDR build might be Jotunn's, Ninja or Warrior, Soul Eater, Crusher, Titan's, and, well, Witch or Ancile, I guess, though I don't see a need to go 40% CDR on Cern.

  • Favorite Build: PS first item is awful. PS as only crit item is awful. No Qin's again is just a lack of understanding of how to build an AS build. This just is not a good build if you're looking to maximize potential.
No offense meant by any of this, just hunter building needs to be better understood here. If you want further explanation, I'm willing to provide further feedback. You can also reference my Items Guide (more specifically the Basic Attack Progression / Physical Damage Spikes chapter), which will give you a good amount of info.
