Hello, folks!
This is my first Guide on SmiteFire and its focused on Mid-Lane for 
He Bo.
Keep in mind that English is not my mother language and this Guide was released 7/07/13 and its currently not finished, im working really hard to improve this Guide for you !
He Bo is a Magical ranged Caster-Assassin and has a huge potion of Damage ;)
I started playing He Bo earlier on in Closed Beta and it was fun wrecking down almost everyone (:
Later on i took a break from Smite and came back after about 6 Month, i started playing again and it was fascinating how far Smite has been going.
A new Smite player called fswag posted on Reddit that he is Streaming his way up to level 30, I took a look at him and it was fun to watch him and his friends playing Smite.
I suggested fswag to play He Bo and i gave him a standart Item Build for him to do better early on.
And now, its his favorite God.
And that inspired me to even write a Guide about He Bo (:
Feel free to post suggestions & Ideas / Tips, critisism and your own opinion for this Guide!
You can aswell send in some Screenshots from your Game History where you followed one of my Builds, i will put them in this Guide !
Remember: Never follow a Guide completely, all games are situational

Pros
|
+ Good harassment + Good Farmer & Pusher + High Burst + Abilites are AoE + Huge teamfight presence + Spammable Abilities + Has a He Bro Skin ;3 |
He Bo is a great pick in solo queue. His duelling and harass aswell as farm potential is huge due to Water Cannon and Waterspout, Most important when considering He Bo, is his teamfight presence. He brings an AoE slow, high AoE damage and long ranged poke with an Interrupt / CC
|
|
Cons
|
- Is somewhat squishy - Has do be in range - Lacks at Mobillity early - Ultimate avoidable - Mana hungry early on |
As per all Gods, He Bo has his strengths, and his weaknesses. Compared to other MP Casters, He Bo's Ultimate can be considered as a high-risk high-reward Ultimate due to the mechanics, Its dodgeable and easy to aegis, it's got a cast/rush time. Additionally, he's squishy early Game and needs some extra Health/Defense Mid/Late Game. Lastly, He needs to be in range and All-In in teamfights.

Steady Flow - Most likely the best Passive in the Game, if you use your Crushing Wave make sure you have all 3 Stacks up (+ 10% MP for each Stack), this gives you a 30% Magical Power buff and is easily build up by initating with flood Waters, using Waterspout, catching up, using Water Cannon and finally melt this guy down with your Crushing Wave. wuzaah !, you just melted a guy with Water, magic happens. Rod of Tahuti's passive), which can be done by just using your Abilites on enemy Minions/Gods. This passive is very usefull throughout the whole Game, specially for Mid/late Game and it synenergizes very well with the 3rd Build in this Guide, due to the massive early MP it provides. !
Crushing Wave
Crushing Wave - Simply always put a point in if available, exception would be if your Ult is on a long Cooldown, put then a Point into either your Water Cannon or Waterspout, this will result in to more Damage while the Ult is on Cooldown, as soon as the Ult comes off CD you will most likely be already one Level Up and be able to put the missing Point in to it. Crushing Wave is one of my favorite Ultimates in Smite, simply because it has such a High Burst, can be used as an escape and the teamfight presence is just awesome. Water Cannon - I max this first, simply because it has a 3 Second Cooldown, the harass from Waterspout just isnt enough, in a 1 vs 1 Situation, i would prefer to have Water Cannon with a 3 Second Cooldown & more Damage, then Waterspout on a 10 Second Cooldown & less Damage. Waterspout - This is the Second Skill that I max. The Key to this Skill is just the timing when you use it, when they are moving towards you, try to hit them with your Waterspout they will get knocked to you, this would be your opportunity to either jump in with your Crushing Wave or just simply harass them with your Water Cannon
|
Waterspout > Water cannon
|
Keep in mind that Waterspout knocks people in the direction they are moving!, use it wisely. If they are moving towards you, simply use Waterspout, they will then get knocked in your direction and you can easily harass them with Water Cannon afterwards.
|
|
waterspout > crushing wave
|
Use your Crushing Wave while your target is knocked up, this will provide you a secured Crushing Wave which cannot be dodged/aegis'd anymore due to the knock up/interrupt. Afterwards you can finish him off with a couple of Water Cannon's
|
|
flood waters > waterspout > water cannon
|
flood waters to close the gap, Waterspout to knock them up and use Water Cannon right after that for great damage.
|
|
flood waters > water cannon > waterspout > crushing wave > water cannon
|
Simply the best Combo if you want to go in for a Kill. close the Gap with flood waters while getting a Stack of Steady Flow, use Water Cannon to build up damage and knock them up with Waterspout, imediately melt him down with Crushing Wave, spinn around and finish him with your Water Cannon.

I now changed the normal Pen Boots to CDR Boots.
Simply because it synergizes well with
Thanks for that Info though !
Yes, i normally go for Voidstone, but the thing about these Builds is that im atm working on Builds for every Mode.
I had plenty of favorite Builds for He Bo and im atm working on them (:
The Guide was released yesterday, Juni 7th and its pretty much nothing in here, but sections like Countering & Counters and an Item Section on when to buy each item and so on is following as soon as possible.
Thanks for the feedback !
I also don't think that I completely agree with the build since
