How to play Hera in a few words.

Hera is a scary mid laner and one of the quickest mages to 100 to 0 in she pleases. However if Hera is out of place and in the wrong place at the wrong time she can die just as quick. The best thing to do in the early game is to clear the minions and try to poke the enemy mid laner with Hera's second ability Polymorph. Polymorph is maybe the 1st or 2nd best mage CC which isn't an ultimate and can travel so far. This is ability should be abused as a poke to lower the HP of the enemy mid laner so then later on you can go for the full combo and kill him or her. Sometimes not getting the kill is okay, this will mean they will be scared to walk around the jungle or maybe making them head back to base. If so they can lose a bunch of gold/Xp then better the odds for you and the jungle. Lastly always ward and use Divine Shroud more for Argus other then using it as a way to walk around.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
