Guan Yu Joust master

Start:
Guan is slow out the gate but be patient. He has great sustain, stick in there for the first couple waves, you need 1800 gold for the gauntlet before heading back to the fountain.

Mid Game:
With the Guardian gold boost and Guan's ability to stay in lane you should be able to build to this point fairly quickly.

Final:
What you get with this build
1: Cheap, finish build quickly and get a potion of might/Elixir
2: 1,025 added item health with 50 total HP5
3: Not as much protections as most builds but enough with health.
4: Decent physical power
5: 40% CDR
6: Get in and out of battle with heal speed boost.

By the end of this build you are doing the same thing over and over... and it’s awesome

Pop conviction, get 40% speed boost and change the enemy with Taolu Assault stealing protections which helps your teammates poke and keeps you alive. With the speed boost you are fast enough to do some damage, circle around the enemy and get out of danger with Warrior's Will. If you hit an enemy on the way back to your team conviction will be ready and you are ready to repeat. Guan's sustain will allow you to do this multiple times before taking a couple rounds of conviction to get your health back.

Make sure you keep mana potions on deck.

There is nothing more satisfying in the game of Smite than popping a speed boost jumping on your horse and flying across the map to finish a retreating enemy!
