Bluestone Pendant is an essential item for skill based damage ADCs, provides you power, mana sustain and hp sustain.
Morningstar will evolve into Transcendence.
Golden Shard it is always the best choice because will provide you of Golden Gooseberries passive so you will have a really good early push!
Bluestone Brooch gives you a lot of power and stacks damage with your main push and damage skill Suppress The Insolent.
Transcendence always build this item with skill based ADCs, it gives you power, CD and infinite mana sustain.
Soul Eater fits perfectly with skill damage gods because you will lifesteal when using skills.
The Crusher is essential because when you are using any of your skills, the passive will give you an extra 30% damage to enemies/minions.
Fail-Not provides you with CD, crit chance, power and penetration, the perfect item for any ADC.
Heartseeker gives you penetration, good power, mana that will increase your power thanks to the Transcendence passive.
Temporal Beads provides you with immunity to cc and cooldown reduction.
Aegis of Acceleration provides you with immunity to damage that will help you peeling yourself and avoid enemies' ultimate skills or big damages.
Leather Cowl is one of the best starters for fighting and sustaining in lane, providing you with movement speed when you are alone, lifesteal, attack speed and power.
Spiked Gauntlet will evolve into Devourer's Gauntlet.
Golden Shard it is always the best choice because will provide you of Golden Gooseberries passive so you will have a really good early push!
Leader's Cowl is insane for team fights in late game because it gives you attack speed in area for your teammates and will provide you with lifesteal (sustain), 250 health that can make a difference between surviving or not, good amount of power and an incredible attack speed stat.
Devourer's Gauntlet is essential on an basic attack damage build because it gives you flat penetration, power and lifesteal (you always need sustain as a hunter).
The Ferocious Executioner is a cheap item that enables you to decrease enemies' protections when you hit them with an auto attack and good attack speed stats. Before selling the recipe you should always look to upgrade this item into the glyph because of the strong passive that it has for killing tanks and solo laners.
Dominance provides you with the essential stats that a hunter needs: attack speed, power, mana sustain and an incredible penetration percentage on basic attacks.
Qin's Sais you should always buy this item because of its passive, it is really strong for killing supports and solo laners (tanky gods).
Fail-Not provides you with multiple insane stats like critical chance, penetration, CD and power. It is also good because having some critical chance will be essential for late game fights and more important, doing more DPS to objectives like Fire Gigant, Gold Fury or Pyromancer.
Temporal Beads provides you with immunity to CC and cooldown reduction.
Aegis of Acceleration provides you with immunity to damage that will help you peeling yourself and avoid enemies' ultimate skills or big damages.
This build is meant for competitive because your enemies are supposed to be in communication and playing smart so you will be in most of the cases only hitting tanks or junglers that are trying to kill you. Most of them will have more than 200 hundred physical and magical protections and more than 3000 HP so you will need to have bought penetration items for being able to kill them as quick as possible.
Mantle of Discord is a defensive item with cc immunity, and a really good choice against full engage set ups. You should build it instead of Fail-Not if you go for it.
Titan's Bane If you are losing hardly the game and you don't have enough gold, go for this item instead of Heartseeker. Will give you much penetration for a low cost compared to Heartseeker.

Hey, this guide is brought to you by TottiGR! I started playing Smite on PC in February 2014. I have been playing competitive since 2016 and I have been a professional Smite player between March 2020 to July 2023. I have played in different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans this last year. I have peaked 3500 MMR GM/Masters in Ranked Conquest on PC every season since 2017. I also made Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022 so I really think I have the knowledge about guiding about the ADC role. I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Artemis as an ADC.
Here are my socials:
Passive - Still Target
To show you in a simply way, Artemis passive will come in handy for teamfights where your teammate gods can get off a lot of CC over your enemies, providing increased basic attack damage to enemy gods and to minions that are affected by any type of CC. Overall, it is a great passive ability to have, but is purely situational when it comes down to it. (not going to help if there isn't much CC) |
Ability 1 - Transgressor's Fate
This ability matches well with Vengeful Assault for Artemis's low mobility to get out of rough situations, however it is a single target CC skill that doesn't last very long. It has tick damage after the initial damage. Transgressor's Fate doesn't have much for setup, as it relies on timing or baiting to use it effectively. |
Ability 2 - Vengeful Assault
Artemis's second ability provides bonus attack speed and movement speed boost, making her immune to slows after activating. This as previously mentioned pairs really well to get away from hard situations but it is also a great engagement for chasing enemies once your team has the enemy CD'S or during a 1vs1 situation during laning phase. |
Ability 3 - Suppress The Insolent
Artemis's engagement ability! Something she can zone enemies with, do her own engage, and causes a lot of slow and damage to enemies! This is her go to damage dealing ability paired with Vengeful Assault making Artemis do pretty good burst damage on team fights and making her able to confirm kills, this is why the Bluestone Pendant build fits perfectly in this set of skills. |
Ultimate - Calydonian Boar
Calydonian Boar is Artemis's ultimate skill. This fourth skill is for sure the make or break for Artemis, basically giving her another immunity like the Purification Beads. It is also a huge stun to combo with Vengeful Assault, teamfight CC and big damage that scales pretty easily and great into lategame fights. |

Sorry King Zeb but I do not understand what are you trying to say! Bluestone build still works!
Hey Kriega :D,
I don't think it's a good choice transitioning Bluestone Pendant- Transcendence into AA because then you will need to be Asi so in the first three items in your buid won't have any penetration. Anyways the only reason you buy trans and bluestone is for scaling damage with power items like The Crusher or Heartseeker that will make you have bigger chances of insta oneshotting someone in teamfights.
If you want to go AA you should always buy Devourer Gauntlet build because this item provides you of more power, flat pen and lifesteal so you won't have to buy other lifesteal item to sustain in lane and just go for a penetration attack speed item like The Executioner or Dominance.
With the build i posted you will reach 30% couldown reduction so your skills timers will be low in case your missing many of them there won't be much problem.
Last thing is that your strong point in late game is your ultimate, you will need to be smart and try to know when to use it to avoid failure so. In my opinion it is really difficult to miss and will deal much more damage to enemy carries compared to the AA build.
In general this is why I think all of SPL players are doing this skill power based build instead of the AA on this god.
I hope this clears your doubts :P!
I think it is the most powerful build right now for Artemis. In Smite Pro League are playing this build because you have a lot of early pressure and chance of having early kills compared to an attack speed build where you won't have any push or damage during the early game.
With Bluestone Pendant you will stack the damage if you hit the trap with your third skill, this will do a lot of damage to the enemy duo lane.
Hope this helps you!
Just curious, Corrupted Bluestone isn't used much by anyone, but in this case, do you think it could be functional? With the lack of AS items in general in this build, it could potentially provide a really nice boost.

Good night Bran,
In this build you are looking to focus in skills damage in late game so I think the Bluestone Brooch will fit better, the item's passive makes you have the possibility of killing instantly an enemy carry with the combination of Calydonian Boar ---> Suppress The Insolent ---> Transgressor's Fate.
I don't think going Corrupted Bluestone is troll but I think Bluestone Brooch fits better with this build!!
