Goddess of Saving Your Booty | Aphrodite Joust/Arena/Clash Build | Feedback Needed

I don't really know how to teach Aphrodite's play in some Text, but I can sure give some useful tips.

A good tip for Aphrodite is to always heal who is at lowest health, and of course don't heal people who are retreating unless there's any nearby enemies. (At least halfway through the lane, or in arena, just judge whats too close for yourself.)

I have mastered Aphrodite as of 7 and a half Times when I wrote this guide.
I have mastered Aphrodite as of 10 times when I have updated this guide! :D

I wrote this guide for Aphrodite as I play in Joust 3v3 most often, however it has worked for me well in Arena and Clash - Beta as well.

If you are a conquest player and don't like Joust and Arena, I advise you use this guide with caution. Though it appears to generally mix well with every gamemode I try, it is mostly used in Joust and is built for Joust and Arena situations.

Shoes of Focus

In most gamemodes, like Joust for instance, you will not be able to start with a full Shoes of Focus. What you would do is buy some Magic Shoes, and when you come back after whatever you have been doing you would buy some Shoes of Focus.
(I choose Shoes of Focus for the movement speed so allies can't run away from me, but mostly for the Mana, Cooldown Reduction and Magical Power. Why wouldn't you?)

Meditation

Buy meditation after or with Shoes of Focus' last finish. This will probably enable you to stay on the battlefield longer, healing your allies and keeping them alive. Complete this build whenever you like, I put it after Chronos' Pendant because I am assuming once you have that you'll have enough money to complete it.
(I buy Meditation because as a healer, you'll be using your Mana 24/7. It's even worse with Aphrodite when it takes her two moves to heal anybody, and she'll be retreating a lot early game. Meditation can prevent this if used correctly.)

Chronos' Pendant & Rod of Tahuti

Usually after Shoes of Focus I would buy my Chronos' Pendant, followed by Rod of Tahuti. However occasionally I might sell my Chronos' Pendant when I can afford the Rod of Tahuti by doing so, then buy Chronos' Pendant later.
(Cooldown Reduction is why I get my Pendant, and Rod of Tahuti, though recently nerfed, is a powerful item and will help your healing immensely.)

Lotus Crown

Okay, until recently I looked at this item, saw its stats and thought "I don't need no more protection"... But just LOOK at this things passive! It's obviously meant for team supportive healers like Aphrodite, and is pretty much a must-buy.
(I buy it for its passive and Magical Power, because any god being affected by my heals getting more protection is pretty neat, huh?)

Breastplate of Valor

Usually you may have to wait to finish Breastplate of Valor, but this shouldn't matter because at this point you should have greater Meditation, so combined with your healing, you still have great survivability. However the Breastplate of Valor, when complete, is a very powerful item and could be essential when there's a powerful ADC or general physical character on the enemy team, and is still useful outside of Defense anyways!
(I buy it mostly for its Cooldown Reduction, but Mana's a good plus. Its Physical Protection is also good, so if you're dying a lot it might help. Might...)

Ethereal Staff

Ethereal staff will help with keeping your mana, giving healings, and of course, giving you tons of more health. Or so it seems, but in reality it is giving less health and more power then first meets the eye, as its passive converts 2% of your health health into magical power. Useful item, to finish off a useful build!

Actives

Meditation

I previously mentioned this item because I believe it to be most core for Aphrodite, read the previous mention.

Heavenly Agility

I generally do not use a second active, but Heavenly Agility is a good choice. Why not greater sprint? Because Heavenly Agility provides sprinting to everyone including you, so can't be that bad, and allows your teammates to escape or charge with you. But most importantly, it makes everyone affected by it's healing increased by 25%, so whatever situation you are escaping from, you can also heal from more easily. A very useful tool.

Aegis Pendant

Let's face it, your ultimate sometimes isn't enough when the entire enemy team is attacking you. Which they will be, because you're the healer. If the enemy team has a decent Loki, Thor, Thanatos, or all Assassins and Warriors in general, this should let you get out of the situation after ulting. Of course, only use this in situations more dire than simply your ultimate, because it should be used straight after your ultimate for effectiveness. Remember to heal after using this, as you cannot during it.

Teleport to Gods

NOTE: This item is not allowed in Assault and some MOTDS.

Teleport to Gods would be useful for when you have returned to base, and your team is across the map against a enemy Phoenix or Titan. This will make your assistance a lot quicker. Treat it like how some use Athena's ultimate, just without the damage.

Is anybody in your team making you angry? Or do you simply feel like killstealing? Then Aphrodite could be a potentially great god for you, if the ADC is already taken.

All you need to do to claim killsteals (note, this strategy is not advised)is:

1) Mainly level up your Back Off! (I'll add a second build later)
2) Make any melee partner your Soul Mate.
3) When your Soul Mate is attacking an enemy, activate your Back Off! When your opponent is nearly dead.

You will get the kill. (Your team will hate you for this...)
