This is my First Guide, tell me what you think! thanks!
Hercules when used carefully can become a force to reckon with...he is a great team player and has a high sustainability...he can dominate anyone who DARES to have a 1 on 1 battle with him...of course if you use your skills wisely and are on par with items and level.
Ankh of the bear replaced with Stone of Gaia for magical protection
Soon to be added:
To be? or not to be aggressive?
Extended strategy guide for hercules
Warrior Tabi Has Good Physical Power
Breastplate of Valor}} Good Mana and Physical Protection + 25% cooldown, the cooldown would greatly help for [[Mitigate Wounds and the rest of 
Hercules skills.
focused voidblade he is a 1v1 god so you need need to do as much damage as you can to that 1 enemy god.
Stone of Gaia Gives you enough magical protection to survive most magic attacks. Also its health regen per 5 secs greatly supports your Mitigate Wounds
Transcendence the mana bonus + the mana bonus of Breastplate of Valor + plus the stacks of Transcendence gives you a big boost on physical power as well..also it gets much bigger with your passive..soo much bigger
Hide of the Urchin Gives you a bit more magical defense that you lack...with mana and health, the physical and magical stacks also help, which goes in snych with the physical boost to power from the ankh of bear
Earthbreaker : A skill in which you could use to close up the distance to enemies. As well as deal the final hit to enemies Earthbreaker is one of the reasons I don't use 
Frostbound Hammer or any slow induced items because if you use this skill correctly you could kill chasing enemies at ease. Earthbreaker in front of them. Since it takes 1 second for the tip of Earthbreaker] to show. Driving Strike so that you stun them and could secure the kill..if not repeat the process till you do Driving Strike is one of the skills that makes Hercules outmatched in a 1v1 fight. Not only the damage is high but the stun is what makes it superb. Driving Strike there would be a little bit of distance between you and the enemy after the animation is done, Be careful! Mitigate Wounds is another reason why Hercules can be outmached in a 1v1 and also survive. This is one of the many reasons why I chose Breastplate of Valor since after the 4 seconds of 1st stage healing then 10 seconds for the 2nd stage healing, the cooldown of Mitigate Wounds would be done and you could use it again making him survive a lot more longer Excavate is a good finisher or at least a good damage to lower the health of your enemies. if you find yourself losing in a 1v1 immediately use Excavate to even the odds or to be at the advantage. Driving Strike if aimed correctly...you could face your enemies at the wall then you could use Excavate to hit the god twice since it bounces back from the wall.
If you have 3 items for Hercules you could solo the gold fury, if you have a full set you can solo the fire giant. no buffs required.
The fire giant can be soloed if your have full set and at least level 18 - 20.
if you want to make sure to be alive at the end then get a buff
Hercules when facing an assasin for example 
Loki would win no matter what IF ITS A 1V1 and if its not too big of a level gap or items if you hear Loki doing his 
Vanish skill immediately use Mitigate Wounds then just wait for loki to attack you. Then use Driving Strike and Earthbreaker then keep pummeling him! Hercules a huge physical defenese and below average magic defense. Though if you position Earthbreaker and Driving Strike correctly you would kill those mages easily. Mana Potion and 1- 2 Healing Potion this makes you stay in the lane much longer before returning to base Mitigate Wounds if your not being damaged or else you would lose the 10 seconds of healing and you waste mana! (ONLY if your health bar is halfed or above average- use your health potion if any is available.So...thats it..thats my guide guys! thanks for taking the time to read it! please give me your comments in how it went in your game! I hope this helps in your games as it did in mine!

Regarding
Well, yeah, but you can say that Neith is good with it since she can also heal herself more. Try putting that ^ specifically.
Regarding breastplate of valor, it works really well with
Secondly, a healing DPS tanky guy is called a bruiser or a warrior. No need for "semi - tank/damage."
Enough jabbering. Time for the review.
Build
Build is very inflexible. You'll be pretty much wasting that
Items
Terrible. You give generic reasons that anyone with half a brain could figure out. For example, some CDR and mana and physical protection is good on any god, so by your logic
Instead, say something else more specific to that god, like, "
Skills
Awful explanations. For example, you do realize that the point of
Just guide.
Guiding
Has almost none. You don't even give any detail on laning. Bad. You need to offer some gameplay. Hell, even a section on teamfights.
Details
Multiple spelling errors, poor coding, pointless jungle section and a lack of a role. (Also, it's unmatched, not outmatched.)
Summary
This guide lacks many things. It isn't incomplete, since that would imply imminent completion. I've seen many guides, and many of them were lacking in gameplay, but at least they gave something in regards to skills and items.
Easy downvote.
Uh, no magic def? He can't be a tank if a mage just 100-0's him.
He has a point. it's
Overall is a good guide. I don't play Hercules a lot, so yeah, I MIGHT try this.
I will make some changes, thanks again for the feedback! i would strongly encourage you to try it..you would probably see what i mean. Thanks again!
As an example:
[ icon=Hercules size=90 ]
Without the spaces:
Plus I'd like to know why do you like to build so much Mana on
